What could be better than a sweet holiday read? A sweet biker holiday read! Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels are some of my go to authors for MC reads, and this delicious Christmas novella is just as awesome as all their books. A fast and steamy read full of sweet moments and a whole lot of heart Leather and Mistletoe is perfect to curl up with on a cold night.
Grizz and Noell will totally steal your heart! Grizz with his seriously hot alpha male biker sexiness and Noell with her sweet innocence and huge heart. There’s so much to fall in love with when it comes to these two. Jam packed with all the swoony goodness I love from these authors along with some heartwarming family feel good moments I don’t think I stopped smiling at all while reading this.

This one was short, but cute. The instant love worked for me. Grizz, fit his name, while Noell seemed all sunshine, rainbows and puppies, yet they worked. I liked that Noell wasn't scared by Grizz or the other guys, that she liked the club and was happy to find a place to fit in.

What to expect from two amazing authors that had created one of the series I love the most?
There's only one answer and that's another masterpiece. And guess what? It another MC book.
Oh boy... I was so happy when I started to read this book. Anxious and curious was my main feelings...
Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez are the queens of MC books... Their writing is raw, wild and super hot as well. Each book made me feel so many things at the same time.
Leather and Mistletoe is their latest release and tells the stories of Grizz and Noell.
But let me tell you something first. Have you read The Kings of Retribution MC series? If you haven't I totally advise you to read them all, because despite the fact that all books are standalones I think reading them will make you understand this new book better.
Grizz is a loner. He's the President of the Knights MC and a very proud one. Living is life means running around in his Harley and the company of his brothers. Women aren't is the cards for him but...
Noell has been losing so much. First her parents due to a tragic accident and now she's about to loose another piece of them, their bookstore. How can she compete with technology? Day after day, her business is dying and now...
Short but intense. Beautiful and it was a joy to read it.
Fantastic plot, very engaging and super intense.
Reading each chapter made me even more happy than the last one.
The chemistry these two share is off charts and I'm amazed by all that happened.
Don't fear love, just embrace it and be happy.
I'm so happy for the chance to read this book but I'm also sad because it's over. I want more.
Is it wrong to want more?
Sandy and Crystal what can I say? No matter what your write because it will be a masterpiece for sure.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I’ve become a big fan of the talented sisters who wrote this book but I really wish they would’ve written a holiday book for the Kings of Retribution MC instead of making up a new one. And I’m assuming since Grizz was the last one to find love that there won’t be anymore books about the Knight Warriors MC. The Knight family has lived in the small town of Rockwood Tennessee for three generations. Jamison Knight “Grizz” is the President of the Knight Warriors MC, taking over when his beloved father died. Noell lost her parents a year ago in a car accident, this is her first holiday season without them. Her parents left her the family home and their bookstore called Novel Words. The house was paid off but her parents had taken out a loan against the store. She’s been doing her best to keep up with the payments but unfortunately business hasn’t been good and she’s received notice she has three weeks to vacate the property. When she tells her Grandma what’s going on she completely shocks Noell by giving her an envelope that contains the deed for a property she’s inherited. A man named George from Rockwood Tennessee has left her a storefront property with an apartment above it. Her Grandma explains that George is her actual Grandpa and perhaps it would be best if she moved to Tennessee, opened up a book store there, and started over. Noell has been sheltered all her life so she decides to take the leap and leave Colorado and move to Tennessee. When Grizz meets the beautiful owner of the new bookstore in town he can’t seem to stay away from her. Moving to Rockwood turns out to be the best thing Noell has ever done. Not only does she fall in love with a sexy biker but she always gets a big, new family.

This is a beautiful short story about a woman who moves to Tennessee to open a book store and meets the love of her life!! If you love books that are insta-love with an over the top alpha biker than this sweet quick read is for you.
Noell is a bookshop owner that has lost her parents a year ago to a car accident. The bookstore that they opened they left to her and she has kept it open until she discovers that they took a loan out for it and it needs to be paid. Once she finds this out her grandmother sat her down and explained to her that she has a grandfather she never knew she had. Taking life by the horns she decided to move to where her grandfather lived to see what he left to her in his will. Once there she meets Jamison aka Griz president of the Knight Warrior MC. Cruz is all alpha biker that knows why he wants and knows who helps wants it from.
The cat and mouse game these two seem to play is heartfelt and full of so much passion and chemistry. I hope this is not the last we hear of this new cast of characters, because I would love to "meet" the other characters more in depth in Knight Warrior MC.

Insta-love MC short story
This is a quick read about Noell, who inherits a building from a grandfather she didn’t know existed in Rockwood Tennessee, and Jamison (aka Grizz), the president of a MC started by his grandfather for local vets.
Noell grew up in Colorado and was needing a fresh start after the bookstore her parents started was going to have to close. Then she finds out about the building left to her and decides to make the move.
Grizz is not looking for any attachments, so he is surprised by the feelings that the new woman in town invokes.
Even though this is set in the MC genre, it did not contain a lot of the elements one would expect. There is language and some steamy intimate scenes, but no violence.
I rated it 4 stars because there are a lot of grammatical issues, but the storyline has potential. I am not sure if there are stories available about the other couples mentioned (Legs, Shorty, Smokey, etc.). Since none of their backgrounds / stories were mentioned, it seemed like a missed opportunity and left me wanting to know more about them.

I absolutley love the Christmas season..and with it, all the romance books and movies. And this one..was extra special to me because it was written by 2 extraordinary sisters, who happen to be my absolute favorite authors!
It's amazing to me how in such a short story, I was able to get to know Noelle and Grizz. I keep asking myself how such a quick read could involve so many awesome people that I immediately liked. It sounds to me as though there could be a whole new series developed there.
If you're looking for a great holiday read, with a hot chic, a hot biker, a sweet and sexy story line, then give this one a shot! You can never go wrong with Sandy and Crystal! Looking forward to their next book!

super cute, super sweet but sadly super short. realistically I would rate at 4.5 but have rounded it up though short stories like this don't allow for a lot of action and plot development.
even though it is really short I loved reading it

Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez certainly know how to make me smile. And with its newest novella Leather and Mistletoe, they certainly got me into the Christmas spirit.
This book is short and sweet, and everything a holiday story should be with an MC flavor! It is the perfect treat to curl under a blanket on a cold Sunday afternoon.
Sweet Noell, who moves to Tennessee to open a bookstore, and all-alpha Grizz, president of The Knight Warriors MC, just click. Their love is instant and refreshing. No drama. They are steamy and funny and, by the end of their story, you will want to know more about them.
So if you are looking for a great Christmas read, just pick this book. You can't go wrong.

In " Leder & Mistelzweig " steht Noell Johnson kurz bevor ihren geliebten Buchladen »Novel Words« zu verlieren und dieser ist das letzte, was sie von ihren verstorbenen Eltern noch hat.
Dafür kommt ihre Großmutter - ihre letzte Verwandte - mit einem alten Familiengeheimnis an und dieses führt Noell nach Tennessee. Denn dort hat Noell ein Ladengeschäft geerbt und sieht darin - angetrieben von ihrer Granny - einen Neuanfang für sich sowie Novel Words.
So macht sich Noell nebst ihrem Kater Mr.Claws auf in das Kleinstädtchen Rockwood und lässt Colorado hinter sich. Um dort ihrem Buchladen zur Weihnachtszeit neu zu eröffnen.
Jamison »Grizz« Knights Familie lebt seit Generationen in Rockwood und er nimmt mittlerweile die Position des Präsident des hiesigen Knight Warriors MCs ein und führt dazu u.a. den örtlichen Baumarkt.
Das ist alles, was Grizz für sein Leben möchte, sehr zum Missfallen seiner Mutter, die gerne eine Frau an dessen Seite sehen würde. Doch eine Beziehung kommt für Grizz nicht in Frage, bis er auf Noell trifft und Ansprüche auf diese erheben möchte.
Da Noell jedoch das Ladengeschäft, welches Grizz gerne übernommen hätte, nun gehört, lässt dieses zunächst auf Abstand gehen.
Allerdings können weder Noell noch Grizz sich der Anziehung zueinander erwehren und es kommt was kommen muss.
Werden Noell und Grizz unter diesen Voraussetzungen überhaupt eine Chance bekommen? Oder steht ihrem Glück zuviel im Weg.
Die Story hat mich von Anfang an in ihren Bann gebracht, dabei bleibt sie spannungsgeladen sowie abwechslungsreich. Man darf mit Noell und Grizz mitfiebern und die verschiedensten Emotionen erleben. Es gibt einiges zum schmunzeln bis herzhaft zu lachen, so manche mitfühlende Momente, einige spicy Szenen und das ein oder andere Tränchen zu vergießen.
Ich musste das Buch in einem Rutsch lesen, da ich wissen wollte, ob und wie es für beide ein Happy End gab.
Das Buch bekommt von mir eine Lese / Kaufempfehlung und 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Sterne.

Brilliant
OMG.......................FANFECKINGTASTIC...............
I was pulled into this story right from the beginning and didn't come back out until I had read every single word that was written. All the while I had my mini movie playing along in my head.
Twists, turns and surprises await you within the pages of this book. Some of the surprises you might not seeing coming where as others you will, some surprises are large, while others are small, but each and everyone of them is as important as the next, all aid in making this book the fantastic read it is.
I went through all the emotions that the characters did, at the same time as them. There were a couple of characters I would of liked to slap once or twice, but they redeemed themselves.
I absolutely loved this book, from start to finish. I have a bit of a soft spot for the main make character in this book.
Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez have done it again, another awesome, fantastic, brilliant story, that once you start it you won't want it to end.
I highly recommend these authors and there books. If you are an ND fan and haven't read any of the books they have written, you are missing out on an experience that you won't forget in a hurry.
This one is to worth more than 5 stars.

Grizz doesn't need an old lady. He has enough on his plate with the MC and his mom to deal with. When a beautiful girl moves to town, it throws his life into a tailspin. Noelle needs a fresh start. When she inherits a building in a small town far from where she grew up, her grandmother urges her to take a chance. When a big beautiful biker kisses her on the first night she is in town, her life turns upside down in the best possible way. What's Grizz to do when Santa drops an angel in his lap? Grab her and hold her tight...
Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez are amazing! I read this book as fast as my fingers could swipe, I couldn't stop until the last word. Enchanting and steamy, Grizz and Noelle were amazing. A Christmas MC novella, talk about my kryptonite and it was everything I could have hoped. Grizz is so closed off and hard at first and to watch him fall was just, ugh, I have no words for the joy this novella brought me! I do hope we see more of this new MC; I'm begging you ladies please!? 6 stars for Leather and Mistletoe!!

Putting the bah hum bug in MC Christmas
If you’re bored and you want something with just a smidge of Christmas background, you might enjoy this.
Some spoilerish content to justify rating.
Noell, 23yo virgin heroine.
Grizz, older MC president. Definitely not a V.
Noell inherits a building from a club member surprisingly and moves from Colorado to Tenn. to claim it and reopen her book store.
Grizz is having a melt down because he thought the building was being left to the club after the member passed away.
They meet.
He’s attracted. But doesn’t make a move.
Two club girls get involved and have her make move on him.
HOW George did NOT COME UP in conversation over the month this book takes place over until Christmas, I HAVE NO IDEA. Obviously, Grizz knew Georgie owned that building. Why didn’t he ask noell if she knew George or how she got the building?
So. Frustrating. Do people not communicate normally?
Short read, but they didn’t meet till after 25%.
Middle of road heading towards boring s e x scenes.

Ich habe von den Autorinnen-Schwestern schon so einige Bücher gelesen und einfach nur geliebt. Besonders ihre MC-Romance haben einen ganz besonderen Platz in meinem Herzen erhalten. Als ich "Leder & Mistelzweig" beim Verlag entdeckte, brauchte ich also nicht 2 × zu überlegen, ob ich es lesen möchte. Obwohl dieses Buch ja keine typische MC-Romance ist, bin ich mal wieder einfach nur begeistert.
Ich war, anders hatte ich es aber auch nicht erwartet, vom ersten Satz im Buch angekommen. Dass ich es in einem Rutsch durchgelesen habe, brauche ich bei gerade einmal 100 Seiten wohl nicht zu erwähnen. Ich habe das Setting wirklich sehr geliebt und auch die ganzen Protagonisten haben mein Herz im Sturm erobert. Besonders mit Noell konnte ich so mitfühlen. Manchmal ist es einfach besser, sich nicht an den alten Sachen festzuhalten, sondern einen Neuanfang zu wagen, und den hat sie ja mit Grizz bekommen. Was für eine zauberhafte Geschichte. Sie hatte für mich einfach alles, was eine tolle Geschichte für mich haben muss. Doch es gibt auch etwas Negatives... sie war viel zu kurz...
Der Schreibstil ist wieder wie ich ihn kenne und liebe, einfach wundervoll. Er ist bildhaft, voller Liebe und so mitreißend. Ein kleiner Tipp von mir: Habt unbedingt ganz viele Taschentücher in eurer Nähe, die werdet ihr definitiv brauchen. Ich freue mich schon auf alles, was da noch kommen wird. Dankeschön, dass ich es lesen durfte.
Seit Noell ihre Eltern verloren hat, hat sie nur noch ihre Großmutter und ihren geliebten Buchladen. Als dieser kurz vor dem Aus steht, kommt ihr ein Erbe, das sie zusammen mit einem Familiengeheimnis bekommt, gerade recht. Sie packt ihre Sachen und zieht nach Rockwell, um dort einen Neuanfang zu wagen. Dort lernt sie Grizz kennen, einen grummeligen Biker, der selber mit dem Erbe gerechnet hat.
Ich war, anders hatte ich es aber auch nicht erwartet, vom ersten Satz im Buch angekommen. Dass ich es in einem Rutsch durchgelesen habe, brauche ich bei gerade einmal 100 Seiten wohl nicht zu erwähnen. Ich habe das Setting wirklich sehr geliebt und auch die ganzen Protagonisten haben mein Herz im Sturm erobert. Besonders mit Noell konnte ich so mitfühlen. Manchmal ist es einfach besser, sich nicht an den alten Sachen festzuhalten, sondern einen Neuanfang zu wagen, und den hat sie ja mit Grizz bekommen. Was für eine zauberhafte Geschichte. Sie hatte für mich einfach alles, was eine tolle Geschichte für mich haben muss. Doch es gibt auch etwas Negatives... sie war viel zu kurz...
Der Schreibstil ist wieder wie ich ihn kenne und liebe, einfach wundervoll. Er ist bildhaft, voller Liebe und so mitreißend. Ein kleiner Tipp von mir: Habt unbedingt ganz viele Taschentücher in eurer Nähe, die werdet ihr definitiv brauchen. Ich freue mich schon auf alles, was da noch kommen wird. Dankeschön, dass ich es lesen durfte.

This book is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I devoured this book in one sitting and was left wanting more. I wish this book were longer! Leather and Mistletoe is the first book of Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez’s that I have read. I found the writing style easy to follow. The characters loveable and the storyline enjoyable. I really liked Noelle and Grizz/Jamison. The attraction between them was instant. The chemistry between them was undeniable and I loved them as a couple. When Noelle inherits a building from a grandfather she didn’t know she had, she moves to the new town it is in. Deciding to open her bookshop there, she never expects to find love. Grizz isn’t looking for love. He is happy with the way his life is. That all changes when he meets Noelle. Although he tries to fight his attraction at first, he just can’t.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read.
