Don't judge a book by its cover, that's how the saying goes, right? It's meant to stop people from judging others based on appearances, first impressions. Because people are often a lot more-or usually, lot less-than they appear. That is not the case with me. What you see is what you get. What you see a club whore for the Sons of Templar MC. Big tits, blonde hair, pretty face. Not much else. I serve a purpose. I might not be doing the Lord's work. In fact, I'm probably doing the Devil's. But I'm okay with that. The Devil claimed me a long time ago, when he hollowed out my insides and burned everything than made me more than I appeared. What I was before, who I was before, it's nothing more than ashes. I made a life from the ruins. It's ugly and empty. But it's mine. Until Christmas Eve. Then my ugly life is no longer empty. And my hollow heart no longer belongs to me.
Anne Malcom has been an avid reader since before she can remember, her mother responsible for her book addiction. It started with magical journeys into the world of Hogwarts and Middle Earth, then as she grew up her reading tastes grew with her. Her obsession with books and romance novels in particular gave Anne the opportunity to find another passion, writing. Finding writing about alpha males and happily ever afters more fun than reading about them, Anne is not about to stop any time soon.
MC Perfection. I didn’t realise how much I missed the Sons of Templar MC until this tasty story landed on my Ipad. Alpha hotties, feisty women, plenty of action and sexy times guaranteed to melt your device. That ending had me flipping the pages for more. Cannot Wait!!
I'm not convinced the author was even trying with this one.
Is it a good idea to stick a major massacre in a novella? All off page, of course. Because it's not like this new writing style isn't confusing enough, right? There I was reading the next book in this series and wondering what on earth was being referenced. I guess we don't have to wonder who isn't getting a story now.
I wish Anne Malcom all the best with her new storytelling and writing style. As for me, I'm out
Note to Authors: Geography matters. Space and time, too. The mythical location of the NM chapter is approximately 40 minutes from Santa Fe, right? Santa Fe is never mentioned, but the state penitentiary is and since that is located near Santa Fe...regardless, it takes a lot longer than 8 hours to get from California to NM. Closer to 20 really...anyway...Since the author is from New Zealand she could consider it like this. New Mexico and New Zealand are roughly the same size in land mass. California is larger and there are states in between. Google. Please.
I read this in the O Come All Ye Sinners Anthology and it stole the show for me! Anne Malcom is going straight to the fucking naughty list for this one. Sure, it’s a sweet instalove kind of story for Ace and Scarlet, but it is also DEVASTATING. What happens in this short story changes the game for the Sons of Templar. If you’ve read the books, you CANNOT MISS THIS BOOK!! I still can’t even get over it!
I love the SOT so much!!!When i read who's the Hero of this book i was so happy!We get to see some of our fav men and their women there too!!It's a sad story..in the beggining..you may cry,but in the end our couple gets their HEA!That endind tho..Can't wait!!!
Hollow Hearts is a Novella for the Sons of Templar series this is a quick steamy read about Ace and Scar but is also devastating for the SOT and now they need revenge. Not a standalone.
I discovered this author this year too and when I say that I need her words like I need air I am not joking. Whether it is PNR or MC romance her words are truly the personification of sublime bliss. She writes words that stick with me for days, “… Graveyards aren’t for the dead, they were built by the living to fuel their delusions about comfort in the face of loss.”
They are profound and usually come from a scene that is often so horrifying that it is a punch to the gut. Yet, she somehow manages to show how beauty can (and often does) live in the darkness. To be back in the midst of The Sons of Templar world was a dream come true. This is one of the grittiest and heart-wrenching MC series that I have ever read. It is violent and real, and heartbreaking. However, this brotherhood somehow still becomes family. When they hurt, I hurt, when tragedy strikes, I feel their loss. That is a gift. I loved these characters. Cain and “Scarlett”. I knew there was a story there in regards to Scarlett and boy was there. I wanted to know more about Cain. A large part of this was probably because I wanted this to go on and not end. I have missed this family. I can’t wait for more and this book definitely paved the way to opening that door as they get vengeance.
Holy Sh*t this story packs a punch especially for being a novella. Did I mention I am ADDICTED to the Sons of Templar world. This story in all its darkness, grief, and naaauuughtyness left me swimming in emotion. Chapter two left me REEELING! WHAT?! How could that happen?! WHAT?! EEK!!! Ok deep breaths. Moving on. Sort of. Scarlett in all her coldness could do nothing but impress with her badass self. Cain (WTH) you are a dirty boy whose exterior hides the AMAZING heart you have. OH he is still a crazy violent biker who had fallen in love. I LOVE how this story brings together beloved characters from Templar’s past (feeling giddy just thinking about it). Lord this story was a crazy ride. I feel slightly bipolar after this read as my be indicated from this. Ugh. If you like turbulent and angsty books, here you go. Happy Reading!
Nothing like a quick and dirty novella to give you a look into the New Mexico chapter of Sons.
Hollow Hearts was raw and gave your heartstrings a run for its money. This story is from Scarlet's POV but we get a little bit of Cain closer to the end, Scarlet has a very dark history that haunts her daily. We Finally getting some more info on "Dwayne" aka "Ace" aka "Cain" but his own history is still a bit of a mystery.
-'But I've got missing pieces too, babe. I'm not askin' you to cut yourself to fix me, i'm askin' you to pay f#*kin' attention to the fact that your empty paces fit with me.'
I personally loved this story and Malcom has proven that even in a novella she has me hook line and sinker.
Anne Malcolm has truly captured me with her writing. Hollow Hearts is a novella within the Sons of Templar Series and tells the story of Cain and Scarlett. Scarlett, just like Macy used to be, is a club girl with a harsh past that has molded her into who she is today. She has seen death too many times and has overcome severe trauma. The fact that she is a warrior within she instantly captured Cains attention. Together they embark on a trip of revenge with the outlook of Scarlett being by his side forever. This book is an introduction of more mayhem to be hitting the Sons of Templar. This series has truly captured my heart and I can only highly recommend this series.
I was so upset with myself when I missed out on this novella when it was in the MC anthology so when it became available on its own, I snapped it up! Even though this is a novella, its still packed an emotional punch. My heart broke for Scarlett and all she had gone through, but the journey towards healing was awe-inspiring. With the appearance of Cain and his instant determination to have her as his own was hot. He saw the real Scarlett and even though she tried to pull away, he was not going to let her go. And that scene at the prison, that was bada$$!!
This novella was full of sadness and a bit of shock, but the love and healing of the heart made it hurt less. I love the Sons of Templar so much and looking forward to whatever comes next.
This is A Sons of Templar MC Novella by Anne Malcom, It's a story from a different chapter and I would have loved it to be a full length, with the punch it struck it could have well been. Scarlet is not letting anything through her ice heart and is doing a pretty good job of keeping everyone at arms length until something unimaginable happens. I walks Cain and for the first time she feels like her heart might defrost.
This story was explosive, it told so much within a small novella. It was heartrendingly sad and full o dark. Yet Scarlet through it all finds her light. Brilliant read and would highly recommend it.
First off, I can't believe that so much story can be captured in one hundred pages. This book started with a bang and kept going until the end. I read it in one sitting and couldn't put it down. This is a must read that changes everything for the Sons of Templar. I always love the characters and the depth of emotion that Ms. Malcom puts into every book and this one is no exception. Both Cain and Scarlett embrace their demons both knowing they can never be fully fixed. The strength within the females of this group inspire me to be a stronger person. I want to thank Ms. Malcom for yet again keeping me inspired and entertained. I can not wait for the next book in this series.
Nice Sons of Templar stand alone novella. Different chapter but you see the guys after some very intense drama at Christmas. Cain rocks. Loved seeing him find his HEA after all the grief the old lady’s have put him through in the other novels. Got to make you smile. Told from the point of view of a very reflective club girl which gives you a good insight into their mind and gives you a different view on some of them.
I love this author's writing!! She interjects profound messages throughout her stories, that make me pause and reflect. This story was no exception!! Despite the horrifying scene in which Cain and Scarlett meet, despite the broken and cold people they are, they build a relationship of warmth and love. The life lessons they've learned becomes food for thought for all of us. Truly another fantastic story by Anne Malcom. I look forward to many more stories and fabulous reflections!
This book should be read before book (7), it unfortunately doesn't say, so I read it after. I still enjoyed it, but things work better if you read it first. It's a very intense book right from the very start until the very end, this is the 2nd novella, the 1st is read between books 2 & 3 Put all of these books together it's one heck of a journey. Sue P
I loved Scarlet and Cain. I also cried reading this book from the turn it took. The only reason that this isn’t a five star read is because it’s a novella. Scar and Cain deserved a full book. The book didn’t have to be as long as other entries in the series, but they deserved a longer and more detailed story. I want to know about Cain’s past especially. I’ve always liked him in other books so to not know more about him kinda stinks.
Anne Malcom has got me so excited for what's to come with The Sons of Templar after reading Hollow Hearts....This was an "insta" love, super hot (fans myself) action packed adventure all in a tiny novella...this story broke my heart but quickly put it back together and now has me super stoked for what's next. #fangirl down after reading Hollow Heart 🖤
Great addition to the SOT series. When a member of the MC has his sights set on a female there is absolutely no backing down. Scarlett never even had a chance when Cain decided she would be in the back of his bike. Another smoking hot story from Anne. Can't wait to see what else she has in store for the MC.
Love the Sons of Templar. This was a fast read for me.. I loved Cain and Scarlett.. This book had it all and more. This book takes you to one of the other Chapters of the Sons - When tragedy strikes it ugly head all the sons pull together to take care of business.. I cant wait to read more from Anne!!
Scarlett had a rough life that led her to the Sons of Templar MC. She’s one of the club girls...not a glamorous role but she’s ok with it. Her life changes yet again, when she walks in at midnight on Christmas Eve and finds that everyone in the clubhouse has been slaughtered. Scarlett helps Hansen, and Amber chapter member, Cain, find answers.
Sons of Templar men!!!! Christmas has come early! Scarlett.....'I was the blond with big tits, long hair, no morals and blowjob lips after all.' She was Ace's Angel....and I can't wait for what this story has set up!!!
5 STARS FOR HOLLOW HEART!! This novella was perfection and reads like a full novel. This author's words truly mesmerize me, it is like I am in the story watching it play out. There is drama, sexiness, great characters and lots of love amongst the family. You definitely want to read this book.
A beautiful story about a woman who has lived through horrific events, the impact it has on her and the path to healing. As always I can't wait for the next in this series. Anne Malcolm is truly a gifted writer.
Always one of my favorite authors, The Sons of Templar series is where it all began. This novella branches out to another chapter of the club, but with an appearance from the members of the Amber Sons. And it’s as dark as you’d expect from Anne’s MC!
Whoa! Definitely did not see this coming but love that a club girl got an HEA with a brother. Also hope this means we have more Sons of Templar to come. After all, we need to know the outcome! ❤️
Scarlett is an anti heroine, with guilt deeper than mine. So hard on herself, so unforgiving of herself, so sure she is unlovable, that she almost denies herself love freely and sincerely given. Read the story
Damn good book but way to short for me Need more of your book???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????? ???????????? ?????? ?????? ??????? ???
A twist to a MC romance. Instead of being about a member finding his HEA it's told from the perspective of a club girl who had no intention of becoming anyone's HEA.
