REVIEWS
This is an interesting anthology. It has so many amazing authors and stories. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Swagger & Sass by Autumn Lake Jones 
I loved this story. We got to see some of our favourite characters, and got to know Rooster more.
I can't wait to see what Autumn Lake Jones comes up with next.
Heart & soul by Nina Levine. 
Omg I loved this story. It was so nice to see Tatum and see how she is still a bad ass. And loved catching up with Nitro.
Nina Levine blew it out of park again.
Bound by chance by Ryan Michele.
Damn this story was too short for my liking. I want to know more about Micah even though I didn't like him in his other books.
Ryan Michele did amazing job.

This was a interesting story. It was nice to see how Memphis chapter came around. 

I can't wait for more.
==========================================================
Getting to read stories by 20 authors some new and some favorites to most readers is amazing. That doing so helps out a needy group—all the better. Here are a few examples of these stories.

SICKO BY AMO JONES: This is a teaser prelude to an upcoming book to be published in 2020. It is very short and introduces Jade and Royce/Sicko her foster brother from the people who adopted her. He left home 6 years ago leaving her with a broken heart at 13. He was her hero and protector. When he left he deserted her into a nightmare. Now he's back. An officer in an MC and wants to run her life even though she just started college. 
This looks like a good read, I just hate cliffies when the rest of the story is unavailable.

SWAGGER & SASS BY AUTUMN JONES LAKE: Lost Kings MC is meeting up with three other clubs to start an annual meeting of clubs to support each other and commit to an alliance and of course, party. On the way to the meet three of the guys including Rooster come on a scene with a guy taking pics of a gorgeous woman standing (uncomfortably) on a bridge railing. When she falls in, the guy just watches her scream that she can't swim and struggle. Rooster doesn't know what is going on and jumps in to save her (in 4 feet of water). Needless to say, he is unimpressed with the guy and wants to punch and does. Womanizer Rooster wants her instantly but for some reason just comforts her and offers to take her home. She is surprised she feels safe with him and lets him... Oh yeah, she lets him.

The two are a great couple with her innocence and strength as well as a hot mom with a great attitude she has some things to hide. He feels differently about her than other women. He lives in New York. She lives in Texas. Now what?

Really liked this one. Fun club and brothers with their Old Ladies. Even a short one like this stands up to the authors usual great reads.

VOODOO VOWS: BY AVELYN PAIGE: Presley is actually scared to go meet Beau's family, especially his sister who runs her own auxiliary club. He is a big kid with video games, comic con, and his action figure collection—"not dolls!". She loves him. They've been together a year even though her brother is Prez of his club and not a all happy about the arrangement.

Their trip is full of meetings, acceptance and suspicion, and steam. Oh, yeah! She's a practicing phycologist and busy as well as his place in the club and this is their vaca and makeup time. And oh how they make up!

Another good short read.

THE ARRANGEMENT BY BINK CUMMINGS: If you are so young you can't imagine those just past prime don't get it on—this one will be a learning experience for you. Oh, and yeah, bring a cold drink and a fan. You're gonna need it. 

Loretta and Blimp have been buds with bennies for years. Now her son is grown and a patched member of the same club as Blimp. They aren't a couple in the traditional way. They aren't monogamous. They are hot together—steaming! 

Take a ride with them and see just how hot. The read is gonna be a lot shorter than that ride.

BREATHE FOR IT BY CHELSEA CAMARON: Crunch & Jennissey are high school lovers. She comes from a sad family on the other side of town, he comes from an MC family and is expected to join up after graduation. What he learns is that the joining up isn't only on his side. What is going to happen to the couple when their future separates them for now?

This is a teaser into a future story. 

MAMA BY NICOLE JAMES: Lily and Leo are making a home with his toddler whose mother died when he was a tiny baby. She was in the club life and loves their family unit as busy as she is. Not everyone is as happy as her family and his club family. Little Gray's grandmother doesn't approve of either one of them.

Are they going to keep the happy family or is there trouble to come?

SNOW WHITE AND THE BIKER BY GLENNA MAYNARD: This is no sweet fairy tale. No way. Biker son has to stand by and watch the man who killed his father and took his mother play with the club girls right out in the open. But he has to earn his patch to do more. When he's given an assassination assignment he's guaranteed the patch with his father's number on it. He'll do anything even take out this gorgeous sweet college girl—Won't he?

Once again this is the intro for a full-length story to come.

MY BROTHER'S OLD LADY BY NICHOLE JAMES: Paige and Travis have a history. Her husband was his club brother and best friend. She's been gone for two years, leaving right after her husband's club funeral. Two years later she's back. The woman he has loved and left alone for every day since the three of them met. Travis sees his chance to change things. Paige refuses to admit her feelings. As her club assigned protector, one day her truck breaks down and she has to call him. So ends their silence.

Will they admit their feelings? Will her dead husband continue to stand between them? 
A good short read, and complete story.

Anthologies are a wonderful way to catch up on favorite characters or finding new authors not yet read. This anthology not only has that but is also donating ALL proceeds to BAB Bikers Against Bullying (USA)

There are many authors I already love featured in this anthology and their stories did bring back many of my favorite characters from favorite MC’s. I like reading short stories by authors I’ve never read before in order to get a glimpse at their work. Sometimes I fall in love, sometimes I don’t, but an anthology gives me the opportunity to meet someone new.

For the most part I loved this collection of short stories. My only issue with the collection is that instead of allowing a reader to enjoy a short story either by a favorite author or a new one, a few authors included stories with cliff hanger endings. I’m not against cliff hangers when I’m reading a series, a full-length book, but when it is part of an anthology, I feel it is a poor way to push an innocent reader to buy the authors full length book. Personally, I feel that if the author is talented, they don’t need such cheap stunts to get me to buy their books.

4.5 stars
