Sean has been forging things since he was a teenager. Paintings, vases, and documents he can do easily. He’s even gotten very good at pretending he’s not in love with Mal. He risked his relationship with the Kings for Mal and he doesn’t even know it. That’s mostly because Sean can’t find him, though. Lucky for him, one day, out of the blue, the man shows up at his doorstep. The not so lucky part? The bullet wound Mal is suffering from.
Mal has been a part of the darker side of the world for most of his life. Killing is what he does best. Then he had to go and accidentally save Sean’s life two years ago. He’s been in love with Sean and running from those feeling ever since. Being cooped up with Sean doesn’t help the situation. He wants Sean more than anything, but most of all, he wants a relationship, and he knows Sean doesn’t want that.
Their attraction burns hotter with each day and, in the end, they can’t resist. But with danger lying in wait for them, ready to strike at any second, can Mal convince Sean to give their relationship a real shot?
Mal belongs to the Salvation Kings MC series but the MCs are not from the motorcycle club. It’s not recommended to be read as a standalone. Best read after Joker, Salvation Kings MC book 2.

I don't know about anybody else, but I just love a story about a hardened assassin who turns all mushy and sappy when in love.
And that's Mal for you. He knows he should stay away from Sean,but he just can't resist the snarky,stubborn,captivating forger. Sean's attraction to Mal isn't less strong,despite how much he tries to hide it behind a grouchy,independent facade.
Ana Night is amazing at writing need and chemistry. Sean and Mal's desire for more and their scorching passion for each other are reaching through the pages. They're funny,hot and sweet together and their romance is well incorporated into the Salvation Kings MC plot line.
I'm hooked on this series and I can't wait for the next installment.

Porn disguised as romance between a side character & an unknown. Most interesting thing about it was unveiling Emery’s bf & that only took a paragraph or 2

Mal and Sean's book was a shirt one with a lot of action and though neither is a member of MC they do play important parts with their story as individuals as well as a couple. We have Sean who has business arrangements with Salvation King's MC whete he can use his abilities for good and Mal an assassin who has complicated and very not well communicating relationship with Sean which in a way brings him on the MC's radar - though they don't know his identity right away.
I liked how the stories come together and how little by little things start to make sense as these two idiots start to communicate with words. Once again Ana Night has really made this couple so wonderful that they crawled to my heart and I fell for them.

This is just a short story about one of the guys that works for Salvation Kings but it was such a good read and in some ways a pivotal point for one of the supporting characters in this read. Which also happens to be Saints sister Emery. I love this series and having this short story made me love it even more.
Sean works for the Salvation Kings making he IDs for the people that the Kings help. But with everything that went down with Wade, Sean has yet to get his life back on track and back to work. The one thing he cannot stop thinking about is the man that Sean believed worked for Wade, Mal. But Sean has not seen him since everything went down and he seriously doubts that he will again. If at least that is what he thought.
Mal has been keeping eyes on Sean since he met him. Then when everything hit he can with Wade, Mal was not going to let Wade get away with trying to kill Sean. Now that Mal is in trouble he does not even think twice about turning to Sean. The one man that has his heart.
Sean was so shocked when Mal turned up at his warehouse, but now that Mal is here, Sean hopes that he will stay. What happens when one of the Kings catch wind of Mal and Sean being together? Can Sean convince Bobes to not say anything to anyone in the club? Or will he have to blackmail Bones with the fact that that Bones and Emery are together?
This was such a great read. I cannot wait to see what will happen next with the Salvation Kings. I have fallen in love with these books and I look forward to the next book when they come out. Ana Night has done a great job on these books. I can’t wait for the next book to come out!!!

Mal: A Salvation Kings MC Short Story is a delightful read by Ana Night. The reader needs to read Saint and Joker first to fully appreciate this one. It's a good follow up to these books, leaving me happy to have gotten Sean and Mal's story.
When the story starts, Mal has been shot and Sean is trying to help him. What follows is a fantastic story where the men end up helping one other.
Sean's a man who's down on himself, feeling like a failure after losing everything he's worked for. While he's helping Sean, Mal's there for him too, trying to lift him up again.
These two are hot together, with intense attraction, need, and heat between them. My favorite scene is one focusing on a scar. It's an amazingly tender scene of acceptance.
This Ana Night book has danger and emotion, as Ana expertly weaves a tale to redeem a bad guy and make him so darn loveable.
Mal is a quick, short romance that's full of heat! It's a story of confusion, confessions, and surprises. It's a steamy read that's also sweet. I am loving this series.

Complex characters, action, intrigue and a steamy connection create] a great short story!! I so enjoyed this story about Mal and Sean and how they find their way to each other. The writing flowed and the story-line kept me reading and enjoying. The two MC's are well developed characters that are multi-dimensional and interesting. i also enjoyed some of the supporting characters who are quite wonderful.
Mal and Sean have tons of chemistry and are so connected that you can feel their attraction and want. I loved their journey and it was fun to read their story.
This story happens in the Salvation Kings MC universe.and it would be best to have read the first books two books in this series to really understand the characters and have a good background.
I was gifted this book from the author and i freely give my honest opinion and review.

Mal is a Salvation Kings MC Short Story by Ana Night. These Characters are not part of the Motorcycle club but are part of the universe/series... so make sure to read the first two books in the series prior to reading Mal.
Mal and Sean are hot. I really enjoyed their interactions and their chemistry definitely was heated. The story was interesting and entertaining. Angst, suspense and heat.
I received an advanced reader's copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.

This is a great addition to this series and I really enjoyed Mal and Sean's story. It is sweet, sexy and entertaining with great characters and an interesting storyline. Mal and Sean are perfect for each other and I love how their relationship develops. They have a strong connection and smoking hot chemistry. The secondary characters add a lot to this story and I look forward to reading the next book in this exciting series.

Not my fav of the series
This book starts assuming that the reader is familiar with, and remembers clearly, details that happened in the previous book. It makes an attempt to explain things, but I was kind of confused at different points in the story because of that. The characters, having been introduced previously, were not given true depth in this book. Lot of hot sex scenes and some action if that’s all you’re looking for though.

Mal is a delightful short story set in the Salvation Kings MC universe by Ana Night. Sean is a forger who fell in love with Mal years ago. While working with the Kings, Mal appears in his life again and stirs things up.
This story has minor plot but is more of a fluff piece. It's enjoyable and goes better with the rest of the series.

Read the 1st 3 books and stopped. It was the same thing, different character couples with a slight drama change for each. Short enough, but was tired of reading repeats. It was nothing like I've read before of MM MC clubs. Nothing really happens as far as club biz. JMO

Mal
I really enjoyed Sean’s book. The babbly cutie deserved his happy ever after. Mal was an interesting character and this was a good filler book.

This was a short story focusing on Sean and Mal. These two guys were hot, sexy and sweet in and out of the sheets.
I enjoyed the other two books in the series and this one definitely didn’t disappoint either.

Sean adalah karakter yang unik. Setelah kemalangan yang menimpa dia, akhirnya apa yang selama ini dia impikan akhirnya terkabul juga.
