Next Generation: Chaos Bleeds #1
... And Forever
Part Two
Tabitha
He abandoned me.
I hate him. I love him. I miss him.
I won’t break. I’m strong, and I’m still fighting. All I have to do is accept that Simon has moved on without me. I’ll learn to continue and forget him, but trouble comes calling. It always does.
Now the choice is mine. Lure Simon to his death, or to leave Fort Wills to keep him alive?
I still hate him, but I can’t let him die.
Simon
I’m not the boy she knew.
I did what was necessary, but now it’s time for me to return home, to win my woman back. Tabby has always been mine, and now I’ll prove that what I did what made me the man she needs.
I can’t live without her, but I’m not prepared for the pain my absence caused. I’ll make amends and get her to fall in love with me.
Our story didn’t end. It will never end. I’ll make her see we’re always supposed to be together.
Her man is back, and I’m not going anywhere.

The fact that this is safe is what really earned the 3 stars. The heroine was kinda hard to like and the Hero was just meh.

So I have mixed feelings about this story. Firstly I was over the moon happy that Tabitha and Simon finally got their story.
Secondly I was not happy about how the first book ended, but I sort of understood. But when the second book started and it was like 5years later, I was like WTH, how could he stay away 5years. I thought he was so in love with Tabitha. And my goodness she just went through an awful traumatic situation and the person who’s suppose to help her through it just left... ☹ Not cool Simon.
Thirdly I liked the fact that Tabitha even though she went through a awful time she still was the bad ass we knew. She stayed and did the hardest thing and she was coping well I thought.
Yes she was angry with Simon and she had every right to be. But then I felt like everyone was judging Simon to harshly. Seriously the Skull and Chaos Bleeds wouldn’t have hesitated to kill someone back in the day for doing what they did to Tabitha and now I felt like they were all judging Simon… Seriously.
And lastly I thought that Tabitha didn’t make him grovel more. She forgave him to easily. I felt like they didn’t actually talk about what she went through, yes it happened but I also felt like she should have made him see how she felt that he just left and now back and expects her to just pick up and move on. Yah I would have been angry too.
All in all mixed feelings. Some of it worked for me, some of it didn’t. I like that there was some new people introduced and their stories seemed like it would be amazing to read. All in all I’m glad Simon and Tabitha got their stories told, glad they got their happily ever after. I can’t wait to read Anthony and Daisy’s story (fingers crossed) ♥

I’m sorry but I don’t understand how this can be romantic, actually it’s very sad! I have children and I’m old enough to know 5 years is along time in your life,
Women must move on with men who leave them alone in such bad times, she was raped and he left, please... this is not forgetable,

Eh, it was okay.
It was as expected, unnecessarily long. While I knew it would work out and I was pleased that it did, I do feel that Simon never really grew up to be a strong intelligent man. Yes, he was devoted but he kept making rash choices. I don’t feel enough groveling happened for his abandonment and other poor choices he had made in part one. Also, I felt that the author might have been going in a different direction with Simon’s return, because in one scene he implied that he had a plan to take over but also implied that he was willing to leave the MC to be with Tabitha wherever she wanted to go. Either way, it was in my opinion too easy for him.
As for Tabitha I related to her for like a blip of a second in the very beginning of this book and then she flip flopped too much as the book progressed that she lost me. I did like that she stood up for herself but I also feel that she didn’t listen enough and so she also made poor choices. However, I did like that she NEVER ran away, unlike Simon. She was direct, faced things head on, and took responsibility for her actions. That is a very strong character trait.
As for this story, I was bored. Not enough groveling, no paternity revelation drama, no real conflict with the enemy MC. It was boring! I also am NOT a fan of irresponsible hate s e x. I was very turned off once the MC’s met up again. I don’t feel lust should be the bonding mechanism of a romance. Especially as the whole of part one was all about kiddy virginal romance. Smh.
Last but not least, does this author even know about the morning after pill?? It is always offered to rape victims at the hospitals in the US, but it was never mentioned in the story. I believe the author is British based on a lot of her dialogue not using American terminology so I wonder if the morning after pill is not standard procedure in Europe for sexual assault survivors but as the series is based in the US, it had surprised me that Tabitha turned out pregnant but never once mentioned having been presented with that option and having chosen to accept whatever came. It was an interesting thought I had overall.
Anyway, enjoy. I probably will not follow up with this series as the author put in her post script that she is planning more stories in both the Chaos Bleeds and The Skulls series as next generation stories. I was never a fan of these books. I did root for some of the characters but the majority of the situations were so stupid and mildly self inflicted and rarely was a character a truly strong individual, that I am happy to not read any more of these books. Sam Crescent has such great ideas for her stories, and I do buy nearly all of her books, and while I have found a small handful of her books that were fantastic, the vast majority of them are not that great and a few were just sooo bad that I can say that I wished I had a paperback copy just so I could mutilate it in vengeance. Lol. Just saying lol.

FINALLY a forever happily ever after for the first big couple of the Next Generation of The Skulls/Chaos Bleeds kids!
*****SLIGHTLY SPOILER-ISH*****
Tabitha & Simon couldn't reach their forever fast enough for me. Fans have known that they'd be together since the very beginning & to see it come true meant everything. And the fact that they both stayed true to each other while they were separated... Hallelujah! That made me over-the-moon happy!!
On the flip-side, I was disappointed with a lot of stuff that happened in this second half of Tabitha & Simon's story. Disappointed that Simon was gone for so many years with seemingly no real, definitive explanation as to why, disappointed at how The Skulls treated Nathan & Tabitha (damn, they're so hypocritical at times), disappointed at all the secrets kept from Tabitha (by both MCs), disappointed in Nathan's paternity results... Those were the biggest bummers.
I actually felt like the book was too drawn out. It was a little much with the sex-trafficking-gotta-save-them-all complex at the end & then with Tabitha & Simon 'adopting' several of the girls... *sigh*. I've kinda had enough of that storyline with this crew but I imagine it's still being done to set up a future pairing between a MC guy & a sex trafficking survivor.
So looking forward to the next book in this series because it's just gotta be Anthony & Daisy's story! They are totally gonna be the next Lash & Angel & lemme tell you... I. Am. Here. For. It.

I wasn't excited with this one either. Why would you want to stay in a family where no one wanted to help or comfort your child? If I felt my child wasn't welcomed or wanted I'd have left. Idk I did like that during separation neither were with others. I'm wondering if the dogs will get a series for Luke to find true love. I'm hoping with the remaining next generation books they've aged a little. Feels creepy reading books with underage main characters.

I was really disappointed with the whole story and character development. I
n no time did I get to like the heroine and our hero had very questionable attitudes. The heroine is so full of herself and fearless, but at heart she was a belligerent child and unaware of the danger. She brought all the problems to herself. In situations that any normal person would be taking care of the surroundings and avoiding, she jumped in without fear and always got screwed. No sympathy on my part.
And both clubs seem to me like a bunch of sissies who don't have the backs of the children of the members who will be the clubs' future. And the way the club treated her son... I was struck by the lack of empathy and acceptance. After all, the child is part of the heroine and family.
I lost interest... they both probably get together and blah blah blah.

And forever - Next Generation: The Chaos Bleeds MC Series - By - Sam Crescent
This is the first book in the next generation series of The Chaos Bleeds MC and we will finally see the kids of the originals that we all know and love so much come into their own. This story does follow on from the story titled Always, The Skulls MC: Next Generation, so you do need to of read that to fully appreciate this book. Tabitha and Simon are not finished. They are soul mates, their love bone deep and everlasting. Even though the previous book tore them apart and hurt them both they cannot stop the soul deep connection that they share. It is everything and together they prove how strong they are individually and together by dealing with the fallout from the previous book and its heartbreaking ending.
Wow so worth the wait. It is packed with do much feeling and emotion. We still see other characters, Devil and Lexie. Lash, Tiny, Miles, Daisy and Anthony to name a few which added to the story no end. We meet Dean once again along with some new faces Pa, Knight, Teddy, Felix and Twig who along with the kids of the original generation of the club could be our characters for a whole new generation of the club. There is still so much that this club has to offer us devoted fans and readers.
Nathan is the cutest and I hope that
Luke of The Monster Dogs MC finds his happily ever after because there is definitely more to him than we have seen so far. Overall this story was really well thought out, care was taken to give Simon and Tabitha the story they needed and deserved. It was heartbreakingly beautiful but also heartwarming. Filled with love and devotion, being part of a family, the club, something bigger than yourself. It was perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed every word of it. I can't wait to see what will happen next that is for sure. Another amazing start to what looks to be a promising and exciting new series. Happy Reading.
5 out of 5 stars.

Readers of Sam Crescent's have been waiting for Simon and Tabitha's story since they were little kids in the respective MC families. We knew from the beginning that they would always be together but might have to fight for their love and their happy ending. Boy did they have to go through a lot to get that HEA. Their story made me cheer, laugh, happy, extremely sad, pissed off and then over the moon happy again! I won't go into details because I don't give spoilers but this will drag you through time. There will be twists and turns you didn't see coming, parts that while really bad, make you cheer that they happened and pissed off at certain characters in the story, even though you still love them. This whole story made me so happy and I finally have Simon and Tabitha's story!!! If you decided to get this book, you NEED to get the first one also. You'll be lost if you don't.

WOW what can i say .The second part of Simon and Tabitha. After Simon left Tabitha didn't know where to look where to turn. She just went through the motions of every day life in pain and heartbroken.She has a reason to carry on his name was Nathan her son. Would Simon come back? Could they have their forever? What would he say about Nathan? Can they choose between their clubs?This book is fully of emotion,heartache, love, devotion. Amust read for all Sam Crescent fans.

My heart ❤️
I haven't been so emotional over a book series in such a long time . But this duet gave me all the feels and then some . I lost track of how much I cried during these two books and then the anger and injustice of what happened to Tabatha and Simon. I love these characters so much and loved Their ending. The next generation of the Skulls MC and Chaos Bleeds MC series has had a fantastic start I highly recommend this duet and the MC series as a whole .

Worth the Wait!
What can I say but WOW! I have loved this series forever and now Simon and Tabitha have completed this chapter. Ms. Crescent you have done a great job with all the characters in this book and I hope that you can continue with Daisy and Anthony’s story. I have laughed and felt the anguish of your characters. Great job.

I was rooting for them so badly! I loved how we watched their story unfold throughout the Skulls and Chaos Bleeds series. I liked the first book alright but the second one… I feel like Tabitha forgave Simon way too easily and the writer should’ve explored a bit more the trauma Tabitha had. Otherwise, it was an okay read.
December 15, 2020
I don’t even know where to start. Sam did such an amazing job with these two. So so many emotions.
She took us places I’m sure no one saw coming, I know I didn’t. Simon and Tabitha was a story I had been waiting on for what felt like ever.
The Parents and friends the bonds are unbreakable.

3.5 star read for me. I was expecting a true biker scenario. I didn’t believe an MC princess would be attacked so cruelly and her Mc would make a deal for peace. Nope I didn’t believe it.

This story is a tear jerker, so have your tissues ready. We finally get to see Tabby become a better person not so much that brat she was as a teen. I had some issues but I get the author has to follow her muse, though it literally broke my heart. Just to have seen one thing be in their favor. Enough said don't want to give up spoilers.

WOW!!
What a totally amazing book! I just absolutely loved it from beginning to end! A definite must read!! Happy Reading!!! :)
