Life, death, trauma, healing; the Hell’s Handlers have been through it all over the past year. They’ve conquered old enemies, acquired new ones, and struggled through devastating upheavals. So far, they’ve come out on top, knocking down challenges by focusing on one essential ideal: family above all. With Copper at the helm, the Handlers are a patchwork family of bikers who will fight to the death for what they’ve created.
And after all they’ve survived over the past three hundred and sixty-five days, the Handlers are ready to lay down their weapons, pick up their drinks, and coast through the holidays with nothing but joy in mind. But as often happens with life in an MC, Christmas takes a back seat to club drama.
As the year rolls to a close, the men and women of the club will experience new life, new chapters in love, and plenty of new beginnings. But not everything is sparkly and bright as dangerous enemies threaten the tight-knit group of rough and rowdy bikers. Will twenty-nineteen end in tragedy, or will the club once again emerge victorious in time to find a little joy for the holidays?
**Bonus Story**
Please read on at the end of Joy for Viper, a 12k word story about the Hell’s Handlers VP. From the Twisted Tales of Mayhem Anthology.

Joy was the seventh book in Lilly Atlas’ Hell’s Handlers MC series. It was a quick but action filled Christmas update for all of our MC favorites.
Atlas wrote it from various perspectives with each MC member and old lady having a voice. True to form, there was also an MC conflict that will carry over into the series. Although anything but lighthearted, it was great to catch up with each couple as well as get set up for future books.
Additionally, Atlas gave us a bonus regarding Viper. It wasn’t his full story so I’m hoping we’ll get the full story soon. It’s an emotional one, but I totally want more. I want it all!

It's the Holiday Season but that doesn't mean things are Merry and Bright for the Hell's Handlers, it's quite the opposite in fact. I didn't make it through the first chapter without breaking down in tears, for me this chapter hits WAYYYYYYY to close to home. Shit I'm tearing up already and I'm just trying to write my review, I'm sure most of you wont be as affected by it as I was and I wont go into details because I will not drop any spoilers just have some tissues nearby just in case.

So much emotion!!!
I didn’t anticipate just how much of a punch this would pack. In under 300 pages we caught up with so many people we love, and got updates both amazing and things we wish hadn’t happened. There was loving and laughing and fucking and fighting and through it all this tight knit familial bond that just can’t be broken. Legit on the first two chapters my whole heart was already wrecked and if that’s not a stroller enforcement idk what is lol.

We absolutely loved this story from beginning to end as Lilly is one hell of a storyteller.This story was intriguing and one filled with love and romance and a whole lot of sexiness but, the story also had you laughing and shedding a few tears along the way to.
I loved how this story was all about each individual MC member and their old ladies that took place around the Christmas Holiday Season and we loved seeing what family traditions they have or are creating .I have to say that Maverick made me laugh my butt off throughout this story as he is definitely was one sexy tall drink of water with a whole lot of kink and we loved his wicked sense of humor and his sex-escapades with Steph were down right hilarious."What a way to celebrate the holiday !" "you are one lucky girl Steph."
Copper I wanted to kick his a** for begin and a** but, realized soon enough that this man was just riddled with and overwhelming amount of fear not only for his club but, more for his family and wife and we loved seeing a vulnerable side to Copper as he is down right scary most times and a force to be reckoned but, seeing him this way melted our heart.
Lizzy and Jigsaw are one of my favorite couple and begin there with them on their final journey to parenthood was down right emotional but, it was also down right hilarious especially with the other old ladies trying everything and anything to bring on Lizzie's labor.
Screw when are you going to stop begin as a** when it comes to Jazzy "Hum"?I see one hot explosive read for this couple in the future when they finally stop tango-ing around with one another.Holy Hotness ! and they are not even having sex! lol
Viper and Mamma V your story broke my heart but, with the love that you both share for one another that is so overwhelming the odds are in you favor!
For us this was the perfect holiday tale.We loved seeing glimpses of all the lives or our favorite MC characters and how their lives are changing more and more some of them making life changing decisions others marriage and family and so forth.
Little Beth after all this time still melts our heart and we love how she still has all her uncles wrapped around her little finger.As I was finishing up this story one thing came to mind and that was that these men are some lucky son of bitches to have found these amazing women thy call their own as they are all strong and capable and loyal and compassionate and loving and are just as protective of the men and the club as there old man are.We love this bunch of old ladies as they are all simply amazing !
Overall we can't say enough about how much we loved this story and the characters within it!

Merry Christmas Hells Handlers!!
It was so great to see where all the men and their women are and believe me these people have been very busy. We have babies being born, pregnancies, engagements and marriage. Oh, don’t think this is all sunshine and roses though because besides one very sad storyline the Hells Handlers MC has a new MC looking to come into their territory and they have been stalking their ole ladies. There is a war on the horizon which they are preparing for. After all Crank and his crew have done to them things are going to go crazy right after the holidays.
I cannot wait to see what comes next for all of these hot alpha men and the women they love. I highly recommend this book.

I have to say this series just gets better and better. This author really captured me with this series.
This book is a Christmas book and taking a look at each couple and how their lives are so far. And let me tell you it is busy... Babies being born, pregnancies, engagements, etc... And then to make it so much more interesting a new enemy emerges and man let me tell you this one is not going to go down easy. This is a hell of a fight in store for this club.
I loved the romance of this story, the intrigue and the angst and definitely the danger lurking. I cannot wait for the next book as I know it is going to be explosive... ❤ 😊 Oh by the way Copper is still my favourite Hell's Handler❤❤

Another great MC book!! Just got to love them. This was book seven of the series.
Christmas time at the club. This is a little about each couple. There is a wedding, a birth, some sad news, a new MC threat, a kidnapping and a pregnancy. A lot goes on in this one. You really need to make sure you have read the others before this one to fully understand what is going on.
The last @ 15% is a bonus book that was in an earlier anthology. It's about Viper and Stephanie. If you don't recognize Stephanie's name then you might remember her as Momma V. This short bonus book tells about when they first met and got together. It's short but good.
I really love when an author puts out a Christmas book about the whole club and this author did a great job of bringing something for each couple.
The newest book Screw just came out and it's calling my name... better get to it

Loved this holiday read from Lilly Atlas and the Hell's Handlers MC! I am a sucker for a book that catches us up with our favorite couples. This book will have you feeling so much depending on the couple. My emotions were all over the place. Dangers lay ahead for the Hell's Handlers and it had me on the edge of my seat! Can't wait to see what is next!

Merry Christmas, Hell's Handlers style! This book isn't your typical romance, following one couple finding their HEA. Rather, it is more of a "catch up" with all of the couples we have come to love, as we've read their stories. Don't get me wrong, there is still plenty of MC action and danger involved, and there is still a story line to follow, but I enjoyed visiting with old friends!
This story isn't told from one character, or even one couple's point of view. Instead, it moves from character to character, whomever happens to be involved at the time. (It could have been confusing, but the author avoided that by helpfully labeling each section with the person's name that was telling the story at the time!) I had absolutely no trouble following along, and quite enjoyed getting everyone's input!
As much as I loved catching up with previous characters, and was hoping for a peaceful, happy Christmas for all of them, life in the Hell's Handlers MC doesn't work like that. There is danger, intrigue, and hints at things to come, as well as a few surprises (both good and bad) that we have come to expect from this group! But mostly, this story is about family, (the one they have made!) pulling together, supporting one another, in good times and bad. It made for an amazing Christmas story!

An absolutely outstanding read that brings you some updates on many of the characters from past books, adding a little reminder of their history; as well as current loves, problems and a whole lot of bedroom heat! I loved catching up with these crazy people and loved where they are now, and it's Christmas so that is an added element to this wonderfully written book that has so much extra going on that you will cry, laugh, sigh and maybe even cry a bit more, but you definitely will not put this book down, and if you do you will hurry back to it to see what is happening next. There is even the treat of another MC hovering over the brother's heads and placing the ol ladies in danger, as well as the children. I want to say so much more about this book but I really don't want to let anything out that would take away from the surprise of reading it fresh, for the first time.
So I will say this, you will thoroughly enjoy this little gem as well as the wonderfully written characters who will attach themselves to you and not let you go. Problem is, you may want to read the first six books first, and you should. But I think that with the history given in each of the couple's chapter that you could probably read this and not miss to much, but I really wouldn't recommend doing that because you will miss some really fantastic books!
Total Joy to read, I highly recommend this book!

OMG what a fabulous book. I usually put this at the end, if it applies, but let me tell you that I can’t recommend this book enough. While it is a standalone, I my humble opinion it’s a much better reading experience I’d suggest starting with book 1, Zach. “Joy” was just that for me a Joy to read. Oh don’t get me wrong, there was still a lot of thrilling biker actions as once again the Hell’s Handlers are heading for trouble, but what a heartfelt read.
It’s Christmas time. A time for Joy, but club life doesn’t seem to matter what time of year it is. In this story we get to reconnect with all the Hell’s Handlers and their ol’ ladies. Each is dealing with their own personal issues that are happening the week of Christmas as well as issues happening with the club. I don’t want to spoil the story so I’ll just say this is an amazing read. It will have you on edge at times and warm your heart on others. We see the hard side as well as the tender side of all these amazing alpha bikers. Copper, the Prez, is determined to give his brothers a peaceful holiday but with new threats in town is that even possible?
Kudos Ms. Atlas for giving us a very well written storyline that was just what this MC Romance lover needed during the holidays. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars for an amazing biker Christmas time romance that you Don’t want to miss out on.

Now this is the type of Christmas story that I'll always love best, as it's in Handlers style! The brilliant Lilly Atlas brought us a new story which has multiple POVs so we could get caught up on everything going on for those drool worthy bikers, and the women they love over the holidays. I don't want to get into a bunch of details, because everything certainly isn't all wrapped up with a pretty bow, or in Mav's case, a pornabow if it's up to him. Lawd, he was killing me with the pornaments, & I was seriously worried about wetting my pants from laughing so hard at it to be honest. There's love, more laughter, crazy women antics, tiny humans & babies, and some serious angst, as everyone is getting ready for Christmas. However, there's a new danger out for the Handlers, and let me tell you, it's gonna get ugly quickly as these newest enemies won't be so easy to destroy. They also made for some big f-bomb dropping worthy twists, as you never knew where they were going to pop up at, or when, so I ended up on the edge of my seat in nervous anticipation with heart racing like I was in danger. I'm ready for the new year with these alpha men, & the fierce women who love them, plus, maybe just maybe, Screw gets his story now. So run, don't walk, to your nearest one click button for my favorite holiday story yet, as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

Joy Hell's Handlers MC #7 by Lilly Atlas was a great holiday read filled with love and emotion , as you follow each couple of the Hell's Handlers MC during the Christmas season. The club led by Copper who is this no nonsense tough gruff President is trying to put the last year behind his club, one that was filled with death, trauma, chaos as well as fighting enemies old and new. Will these larger than life bikers be able to put all of the disorder behind them so they can come together as a family and celebrate the holiday season with loved ones for one day? Or will club drama halt the festivities as danger is once again coming to these tough bikers and their feisty women, will they be able to overcome the mayhem and celebrate the holiday?. These stories that focused on each couple was filled with emotion, passion, celebration, heartache and laughter for some. You will become immersed into the lifes of these couples as you follow Copper/Shell, Maverick/Steph, Jigsaw/Lizzy, Zack/Toni and my favorite couple Viper/Mama V. We will have to wait and see what transpires between Screw/Jazzy with all of their banter and sexual tension that surrounds them. Between all of the new beginnings and celebrations some hard decisions will be made for one. Will this band of bikers and the strong women who stand with them get the happiness each are fighting for or will disaster once again come to the Hell's Handlers MC. Can't wait for the next book to find out what is in store for these men that make up the Hell's Handlers MC. You will love this warmhearted Christmas story from beginning to end. I voluntairly reviewed an advanced copy of this book

This one's about all of Hell's Handlers.
Instead of focusing on a single couple, the author gives us a look at the whole club and what they have gone through over the last year. It hasn't been an easy one. On the enemy front while removing one they've added another. As always the club takes care of their own. protecting and when necessary rescuing. Some enemies are beyond what they can accomplish. Doctors and science play a role for some of their families. Still, no one is alone and the support of the club is unfaltering.
The author does a fantastic job of telling the reader how they each are coming through the battles are warriors or the support team back home. No matter the situation they are there to help those who need it most. We get to see the strong, steamy, love for old loves and the new beginning love for some.
While they are by no means free of danger, Joy does play a big part in their new year and you will all love it. The author takes us back to the beginning story of a long-lasting relationship in a short story about one of the officers as a bonus at the end of the book.
All in all another great read and catch up on some of my favorite book friends.

In this unique book about all of the Hell's Handlers MC members and their wives/ol' ladies, we get to hear from everyone's POV, and while some people may not care for that style, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! I am in complete and utter awe of this book and as I was reading, I realized I had literally been on a roller coaster ride of emotions that I didn't want to get off of. I LOVE that we still get that kindle-on-fire chemistry from everyone, even as we find out how they're handling things that are going on around them and the new elements that are being introduced. Reading this book, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be pi$$ed and your heart will literally ache, but when you're done and you read The End, I guarantee Joy will stay with you for a long time to come. I was provided an advanced readers copy for an honest opinion. Two more things: 1. There's a paragraph toward the middle/end of the book between two Handlers that literally had me bent over in stitches I was laughing so hard(I'm still laughing) and 2. Have tissues handy. You're going to need them.. This one's a stunner, people!!

Merry Christmas Hells Handlers!
oh I have missed these guys! it was lovely seeing them again and experiencing their highs and lows at Christmas with them. Of course their festive plans are not going to run smoothly with a new MC encroaching on their territory, new baby arriving (that was hilarious, love Izzy!!), an idiotic President that really needs to think carefully before opening his mouth and a storyline that run along in the background that made me cry.
Lilly brought her usually twists, turns, suspense, love, loyalty, friendship, family and brotherhood to this one. Throughout it all you could really feel the love and connection between them all seeping out the pages.
I will be honest, one storyline that ran along in the background really hit me close to home and I had to put the book down for a while as I couldn't read through my tears. I wont spoil it for you but have tissues and alcohol handy.

***ARC Reader Review***
Five stars!!! Joy was a real joy to read. No pun intended :) Lilly Atlas did an amazing job with this book. Joy is a book with stories from all the Hell’s Handlers and there ladies during the Christmas season. From Zach and Toni all the way to Screw and Jazz's budding connection. So many life changes events for the Handlers; Some of great happiness while others are full heartbreaking tears. Chapter 1 just killed me. What a way to start a book, Lilly! I love how this non-blood family supports each other. I also love the way Lilly can write from so many different character POVs without confusing the reader at all.
I do recommend you read the books in order (Zach, Maverick, Jigsaw, Copper, Rocket, Little Jack and Joy). It will help with context and background understand of characters.
I cannot wait of the next book for the Hell’s Handlers MC. Lilly gave us a very interesting taste of Screw and Jazz’s story in Joy. I cannot wait for their book! #FingersCrossed

Was a cute little composition of characters together from the previous 6 books that wrapped up a lot of things that happened previously and to finally bring into play Izzy and Jig's baby into the world. I saw the sex and name of the baby coming from a mile away but still cute. Was it necessary for a whole book for all of this... not really, could of happened in book 6 (LJ's book) or even into Screw's book, but was still cute.
Big side note though.... Should Ms. Atlas ever see this review... I've noticed she has a rather unfortunate tendency to change up character's facial features from their previously stated one's... for example in this book it's stated that Toni's eyes go a "melted chocolate brown" but... in Zac's book it is clearly stated that Toni has green eyes... (I double checked too)... So definitely something to watch. Also... did anyone ever notice that in Maverick's book that Copper's name was Killian before he all of a sudden became Aiden in his book??? lol

I give this a 3.5
This is the seventh book in the Hell's Handlers MC series. These are usually stand alones, but this one I think you should read the others first.
I say that because we get chapters from every previous character, this isn't just about one couple. It's the entire MC.
Don't let the title fool you. There is a little Joy in it, but not a ton.
I'm on the fence about this book. I don't like what's happening to Cassie. I was happy for Izzy and Shell. I was mad at Copper. What's going on in Screw's head.
I loved the pornaments.
We also got a short called Viper at the end of this. It's just a quick story about how Viper and Cassie met. It wasn't the best of circumstances either.
I am curious about what happened once they left that hotel room and made their way to the Handlers.

(5 stars)
This was absolutely a Christmas novel... Hell's Handlers' style. In no way shape or form was this a cutesy, fluffy, bubble-gum biker story, but written from almost every character's POV it told each persons story in the run up to Christmas. Of course there are plenty of sweet and romantic moments, but there is also lots of drama and a threat to the club that I imagine will be dealt with in the next book, whoever that may be about. I'm not going to give away any details of any plots, I will just say that I was surprised by some characters' actions but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, and despite it being from many different POV's it was very easy to follow as each was essentially their own story. I can't wait to see who Lilly writes about next and I give Joy 5 stars.

I have loved every entry into the Hell's Handlers MC series but this book... this book has it, or rather, them all. That's right, Lilly Atlas gives readers Christmas early with a book that gives us time to catch up with ALL our favorite couples! Not just seeing them in the clubhouse either, but chapters dedicated to showing us where they are now and it's AWESOME! I loved every single word, even then ones that made me cry! We even get an epic short story of the start of a fave couple at the end.
But wait...there's more, a new enemy has arrived in town to threaten the peace the Handlers' have worked so hard to build but no one's giving up easily! Can't wait for the next chapter in the wonderful story of this club!

Joy KU/purchased 269 pgs *** 5/10/21 Christmas with all Characters
3 stars, mainly because of so many “in the head talk” filler pages. I loved reading about every character per chapter which moved all their stories along a little further than their books and also gave me more on the characters where their books were to come. They were cute stories with some sex, extremely wordy sex scenes which made me lose interest completely in the sex scene. It was worth the read just to move everyone’s story up a little bit so I feel all caught up now.
+ Bonus Viper & Cassie’s story 43 pgs ***.* Cute story and gave me the history I needed On Viper & Cassie as they were in this book quite a bit.

Wow, this was a wonderful read, the series just gets better and better! We get to spend time with all of our favourite characters over the festive period, told from multiple character points of view, we get their highs and lows and see how they are doing. There’s some twists and turns and some new characters to keep an eye out for, we also get a hint at stories yet to come.
I devoured this book in book in one sitting, I was hooked from the first page. I loved catching up with everyone and hope we get a certain couples story soon! Another fabulous read, can’t wait to see what awesomeness this author comes up with next!

A great holiday story
I really like these type of books where you get everyone's POV's, as well as a recap of what's going on in their lives. It was exciting, hilarious, and no matter what the circumstances are, these people are a family through and through.
The only thing that I didn't like about this was that there were a few questions left unanswered at the end. It doesn't state that there will be another book, but I'm hoping that the story won't end here. I really liked the short bonus story about Viper at the end.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and great author.
