Love!!!
This was the Perfect comfort read! Great story.. woman walks into a bar because her family is horrible and she finds our H who is ready to claim her that second. Great story, great characters and great spice
All Cathy wanted to do was forget about her family. They had used her, got her to pay for everything, and then kicked her out of the engagement party. So she went to Storm’s bar and didn’t care it was now home to The Rebel’s MC.
The moment the brunette walked into the bar, Brick knew he wanted her. He’d been waiting a long time for the right woman, but seeing as it was Christmas, he was happy to just enjoy her for however long she needed.
Cathy had never fallen into bed with anyone. Brick, he’s a different kind of man, and one kiss, it’s not enough. One touch, just sets her on fire for more.
This is a miracle. He wanted a woman to settle down with, and Cathy walked right into his world. Now he’s not going to let her go. Brick’s in this for the rest of his life, and he doesn’t need longer than a week to know what he wants.
But is Cathy ready to settle down. Does she want a husband, children, and to be part of an MC for the rest of her life?
Excerpt:
Brick never chased after a woman. He never had to worry about a woman sticking around. He was used to them holding onto his every word. He had to be the one to push her away in the morning. This morning, after enjoying a night of amazing sex, the woman of his dreams was nowhere to be found. At first, he doubted if he even lived it, but the scent of Cathy was still heavy in the room, and he wasn’t going to forget that anytime soon.
Then, on the way down to the main clubhouse, Rebel held his daughter while Willow was serving up breakfast. He didn’t know who to ask first, but seeing as Willow kept glancing toward him, he figured she knew something.
Cathy had snuck out. That wasn’t exactly news to him. Waking up alone with just the scent of her told him she’d snuck out. She’d also said Willow could tell him where she lived, in case he wanted to find her.
He didn’t understand why she didn’t wake him up. They could have enjoyed round four, or was it five? He lost count of the number of orgasms he had last night.
Now, as he pulled into her very nice neighborhood, he drove down to the bottom corner, and he knew it was her house. There were a few lights and some decorations, and her house was nice. It was a house designed for a family.
Parking next to what he assumed was her car, he turned off the ignition and made his way toward her front door. He was pretty sure there were several neighbors twitching their curtains right about now. He didn’t give a fuck what they thought. Let them think whatever shit they wanted to. The only person he was interested in was Cathy.
And she opened the door seconds later. “Brick,” she said.
One half of her face was covered in makeup. She looked strange, but then he’d seen a lot of even stranger shit, so it didn’t bother him.
“You snuck out,” he said.
“And you came here.” There was a smile on her lips.
“You want to tell me what is going on?” he asked, pointing at her face.
“Oh, yeah, sorry. I thought you were the delivery guy. I had a notification that I’ve got a package coming.” She stepped out of the way and allowed him to enter. “It’s not weird or anything. Come on, I’ll show you.”
Brick frowned but followed her through to what he assumed would be her garage, only it was like he’d stepped inside a beauty supply store or a salon, or both. He’d been to places with cameras set up, but most of the time, porn was being filmed. Not this woman. She had a desk, a couple of ring lights, and there was an assortment of products on her.
“I was filming a video for my vlog. I do beauty.” She stepped up to the table, and he watched as she took a bottle, spritzed some on a cloth, and then wiped her face, removing the makeup.
Cathy turned toward him with a smile.
“Willow told you where I lived?” Cathy asked.
“I didn’t follow you. As soon as I realized you had left, I went looking. Why did you sneak out?” he asked.
“I, uh, I’ve never done the morning-after thing. I’m not exactly sure what the protocol is. I didn’t want to worry you and make you think I was some clingy woman.”
The irony was that Brick wanted her to cling. He wanted her to stick with him, to hang onto him. And yet, the first woman he wanted that from was happy to give him space, to not seem too desperate. Did Cathy even realize she was the perfect woman?

A Wife by Christmas
This is a must read!! I was hooked from the moment that Cathy walked into the bar and sat down to have a drink and Brick approached her. Loved the interaction between this couple and their journey of coming together. Cathy deserved having this strong alpha man who protects her and treats her the way a woman should be treated. I highly recommend this read and prepare to be hooked from page one and not quit until you have finished the whole book from beginning to end!!!
4/5
very sweet
Super sweet love at first sight - what starts as a one night stand becomes more between Cathy and Brick. Cathy's family is super toxic and her sister is downright awful - stealing her boyfriend of 3 years. Her family - parents and sister - have ruined everything for Cathy, but Brick is having none of it. The "bad boy" motorcycle guy is sweet on her.
5/5
Brick and Cathy
A Wife by Christmas by Sam Crescent. This was a fantastic spicy story with a boat load of family drama and some behind the scenes emotional healing. So grab a copy and settle in for a nice afternoon length read, you won’t be disappointed.

Brick and Cathy.
This was a short sweet read. It’s a good read for this holiday season. Brick and Cathy were so sweet of a couple Brick definitely got his Christmas gift. Love read their story.
5/5
Great short story
Sam Crescent has another hit on her hands. I loved Brick and Cathy's story. Her family has used her for so long that it doesn't seem to phase her anymore but when she hooks up with Brick and he finds out what is going on, he's pissed. He knew the instant she walked into the bar that he wanted her. It was a fast read but it was packed with steamy scenes. And I loved how he told her family off! So good!
5/5
Soulmates
The moment Cathy walked into the bar Brick knew he wanted her. Brick is a member of the Rebel MC and not the type Cathy has been with in the past. Cathy is not the type to hang out at a bar but she had to get away from her toxic family. Her sister was marrying her previous boyfriend and gloating about how she stole him from her. Her family treated her terribly and Brick became her support and helped her see her worth. I enjoyed the book, pacing, plot, and spicy scenes make for a good story.
4/5
Sam does it again

Great story
Being used by her family to organise and fund her sisters engagement party to her own ex and being kicked out of said party, was the last straw for Cathy and she ends up going to a biker bar to unwind where she meets Brick. Brick had been thinking to settle down and then Cathy walks into his life and he knows shes the one, but can he convince her this isn't just for Christmas it's forever! Well written engaging, steamy, festive romance

Love it!
Sam never disappoints, I love all her books and this one is not exception. Him being a protector of her and stepping up in front of her family was amazing. O love this type of books!
4/5
Fun Edgy Christmas Romance
A Wife by Christmas is a fun, edgy Christmas romance story. The instalove element to the story makes sense for Cathy and Brick and becomes a source of humor and entertainment as they try to figure each other out. The book is an engaging, quick read with a lot of steamy romance, some humor, family-caused drama, and lots of feel-goods.
5/5

Christmas Miracles
Brick saw Cathy walk into the bar and he was saw someone he wanted. Spending time with her he realized she was special and after their wild night he knew she was the one he had been looking for. Cathy has been let down and taken advantage of by her family and until Brick no one had ever stood up for her. They are so freaking cute together and what they found and created is super special. I loved this naughty heartwarming tale full of Christmas cheer and miracles.

Finding that I love Sam Crescent's work
Brick and Cathy had me swooning for them. I am finding that I am loving Sam Crescent's work with the more books I read. I can not put them down. I will continue to read this author.
5/5
Hungry.... want more????
This book is not for everyone, but it is for me! I loved it. I am big fan of Sam -- so I warn you this review is bias. I love these types of heroes she writes. They are not sweet, oh no, these men are intense, dominant, forceful and alpha. He knows what he wants and he doesn't let anyone get in his way. I love the straightforwardness of all of the books I like that immediately they’re into each other and they’re not fighting each other as much as they’re fighting the people around them sometimes.
4/5
A Wife by Christmas!
I so enjoyed this holiday read from beginning to end. The story is a really good addition to the "Rebel’s MC". There are connected characters but the story does stand alone. This one is about Cathy and Brick. She has had a horrible time of it with her family, and especially her sister. She steps out of her comfort zone and heads to Storm’s Bar for some libations. When Brick sees her walking in, he knows he wants her and more. This is a sweet story with drama, family BS, passion, protection, love and much more. I absolutely love how Brick stands up for her and dishes it back to her family. Such a heartwarming holiday read!

A Wife by Christmas
A Miracle at Christmas Time Cathy’s life had been anything but easy. Parents who never listened, a sister who took everything she loved but when at the end of her tether she’d met Brick, well maybe her luck was just about to change! A super hot read full of intense feelings and a man who would slay any of her demons including her family! He would protect her through all life’s ups and downs and love her forever but would this be what she wanted? A beautifully well written festive read with lots of sizzling steamy moments!

4/5
To the rescue!
Cathy has always been there for her family, always supporting them both in any way she could, even though the same could not be said in reverse; especially her older sister. OMG, what a family! After being kicked out of her sister's engagement party (that she planned and paid for), she goes for a drink and meets Brick. Although he might not seem to be a hero, he becomes HER hero! Spicy hot romance and a manly man for Cathy might turn out to be the best Christmas ever!
5/5
Cathy and Brick
Cathy meets Brick in a bar, after she is thrown out of the engagement party for her sister and her ex that she paid for. Brick is drawn to Cathy when she first comes in, he wants what his Pres has, she just might be what he is looking for. Cathy is never one for an one night stand but there is something about Brick, he seems different, he sets her on fire. Brick is just what Cathy needs, someone to stand by her side when her crappy relatives come around.
5/5
His Woman
I thoroughly enjoyed this spicy holiday novella. Cathy is at a low point and walks into a biker bar. Little does she know her world is about to change. Brick gets one look at Cathy and he knows she is his woman. I love how protective and loyal Brick is. He is everything Cathy needs to find her inner boss. This is very fast paced, spicy and wonderfully written. Definitely a must read.
4/5
A wife for Christmas
Cathy's family did not appreciate her. They used her for her time and her money. Her older sister Tiffany had stole her boyfriend and was now engaged to him. Cathy meets Brick at the bar. He's a MC member. They have an instant connection and hook up that night. I really enjoyed the story The only thing I feel like that would have made it better is if Tiffany's fiance would have ended up leaving her. Because I feel like that would have been perfect Karma.
5/5
Cathy and Brick
Loved Brick and Cathy’s story! I was getting so irritated reading about how Cathy’s family treated her and thankfully Brick’s entrance changed my mood; he was solid from the start. Both characters are really likable and loved seeing their instalove develop. Loved his club people, Rebel and Willow especially. I would have liked to see Tiffany miserable, but I guess Cathy happy is better.
5/5
Loved It!
I truly enjoyed this book!!! It was great to stick to the story and not veer off course too much. The relationship between Cathy and Brick was one of dreams. Everyone would like to be protected, defended, and cherished as he did with Cathy. When Brick told off her family it was truly priceless. Great story!

A Christmas Wedding
Cathy goes to Storm's Bar after organizing (and paying for) her older sister's engagement party. Yep, Tiffany (her sister) is engaged to Cathy's ex... While at the bar, she meets Brick, one of the members of The Rebel MC. He's instantly taken by Cathy and she's also attracted to him. This was a sweet and spicy read. Christmas is the background of the story, so this was the perfect time to read this. At under 100 pages, this was also a quick read.

SIMPLE
it was simple short read, very straightforward . they meet and have a very good connection from the beginning. they both secretly wanted to have family but they were scared to confess one another and destroy what they had. good plot. what i did not like is it end very abruptly , i did not know it was cliffhanger read, otherwise good job
5/5
Fun and hot insta-love romance
This was a fun and hot insta-love romance that brought together biker, Brick, and Cathy, a gal seriously misused by her family. It was wild the stuff they had put Cathy through! Brick, after seeing his Prez find love and happiness, was searching for the same for himself. He couldn't get over the immediate and strong connection he had to Cathy the moment she walked in the bar. With lots of heat, open communication, and even some threats, these two managed to make the best Christmas together. I really enjoyed this one and have already read it twice ;D
5/5
Fantastic book!
Cathy has been treated poorly by her family all her life. So, on a particularly bad night, she goes to a bar, where she meets Brick. Cathy doesn't know she's about to meet her future. I love this book. It is going to be saved in my Read Again folder! It is spicy, sweet, and has the perfect HEA.
5/5
Perfect Biker Christmas Story
I loved this story of Brick and Cathy’s. She came from a family that treated her terribly but it was the man she met that night in a bar that would make all of dreams come true. I loved the Christmas theme of this book which only added to the appeal. The tough biker saw how special this woman really was.
5/5
Awesome read
Cathy Newman walked into Storm’s Bar and she wrote for a beauty website and magazine where she tested and reviewed the products. She teased the bartender Connor about the owner- Willow. There she meets Brick. Both are instantly smitten although Cathy fights it a bit. Rebel was the MC club’s prez and he was married to the owner, Willow and they were a happy family with their daughter. Brick wanted that too. Cathy’s family are a piece of work. They always sided with her sister Tiffany. They all thought that Cathy was useless, but they used her just the same. I was livid and got angrier the more I read. Brick is perfect for Cathy and vice versa. I fell instantly in love with them as a couple. I loved how Brick knew right away that Cathy was special and the one for him. Reading about what her family put her through made me want to scream and beat up a punching bag. It always bothers me when it is family that hurts someone the most. How could they treat someone like that?! As Brick and Cathy fall for each other, it is steamy, romantic, sweet, and I so needed my AC. Plus, the fact that I was angry as all get out. Of course, everything isn’t perfect right away, but the fun is watching them figure it all out. I loved the story and can’t wait to find out what happens next.
4/5
Good quick holiday read
I enjoyed this little holiday novella. Cathy and Brick meet at the MC bar and just click. If you like Insta love you’ll like this. Cathy’s family are horrible but Brick deals with them and they get their HEA. To mirror another review I saw, Willow kind of annoyed me in this book which is a pity as I really liked her previously.
4/5
A Christmasy MC romance
This was a solid read, sweet, spicy, insta-love, holiday romance with family drama and a super protective MC MMC.

Cathy’s family is toxic and Brick helps Cathy deal with that in a hot, protective, take no prisoners kind of way.

Steamy Christmas Romance
This was such a fun quick read full of passion, a little drama and plenty of steamy romance with a no-nonsense alpha male all wrapped up in a snow filled Christmas back drop. I was hooked from beginning to end by the story of Cathy who has been mistreated by her family for so long that she doesn’t see her wishes for love, marriage and a family coming to fruition. Also, Brick who is part of The Rebel MC and tired of the open road and meaningless flings. He is wanting to settle down like his club president and has been waiting a long time for the right woman. These two are quite an unlikely match, however they manage to steam up the pages very quickly and take relationship timelines to another level! Sam Crescent delivers yet another wonderful story with a guaranteed happy ending which is what we want for a Christmas themed romance!
5/5

A biker for Christmas
Cathy and Brick meet in a biker bar, but it is love at first sight. A steamy OMYW, possessive biker romance, with interfering family too.
5/5
More!
I liked this book, and I liked that it's connected to an earlier book from this author but that it's still a standalone that you can read and not have to even pick up the first book. I liked both main characters and I lobe watching their relationship grow but I did find that their 'misunderstandings'... especially on the MFC side where a but lacking and kind of silly, like she accidentally on purpose kept taking things out of context or thinking them way over until she came to a completely different idea than what was actually happening... so basically she kept coming up with things that made her doubt their relationship but in the end she does kind of make up for it! Now the MMC was good as he knew what he wanted and wasn't afraid to put the work in and go after it... I really loved how he easily stepped up and confronted her family members and had her back! This book is worth the read but for me it didn't pack the punch I was expecting... but I think that's because I have gotten used to Ms. Crescents alpha male mafia marriage of convenience books that she has been gifting us with lately... so I can happily say I cannot wait for her next book!

Fun and sexy
Fun and sexy quick holiday read. Written in a style that is straightforward and well written. Enjoyed this insta-love HEA.

Falling hard and fast
Great couple. Meeting in a biker bar may not gave beennthe plan, but Cathy entered it because she was not feeling good for herself, Brick was captivated by her as soon as he saw her. Having approached her, he was prepared to really talk and listen to her troubles, rather than aim to get her into his bed..that was just the icing on the cake. Two different people in all ways; but the big, bad biker has his softer, caring side for this downtrodden, vulnerable woman fighting against her foul family members. His conversations with her family, espe5to and about her sister are heartwarming. They complete and compliment each other.
5/5
Afternoon read.
I found this book to be a very good afternoon read. The story had a good flow and was well written. The couple has very romantic chemistry between them. There is loads of action and intrigue for readers. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
5/5
Kudos to the MMC.
I really admire the MMC! The FMC is lucky to have him by her side. He stands up for her and appreciates her even more than some of her own family do. He definitely deserves a big shout-out!
