I’m so glad I waited to read this all in one, Nina has been putting a chapter each week in her newsletter but I’m really not good at waiting lol so decided I’d wait. And it was so worth the wait, Birdie, and Winter have this amazing and strong chemistry that no matter how hard Birdie tries she can’t fight her feelings for Winter, I love Nina’s books and really really looking forward to more from her. This really is a must read.
Absolute perfection! Winter and Birdie’s journey was emotional, but entertaining. This was a beautifully written story about unconditional love, friendship, and most importantly family. I loved everything about this book. Can’t wait to read what comes next.
4.5 stars
Birdie walked away from Winter five years ago leaving him devastated. When they meet again Winter is determined to get them both back on track and there’s no way he’s letting her walk away again. This book was a little different to what I’m used to from this author. It’s low on angst and drama and instead concentrates on the characters and their relationship. I found it to be more emotional than I was expecting. The love between Birdie and Winter is enough to melt the coldest of hearts and you’ll be just as desperate as Winter is that they can find a way to leave the past where it belongs and find their hea.
I’ve read most (if not all) of the Storm MC series and this can definitely be read as a stand-alone. If you’re looking for a book with two mature characters trying to make their love work, this is the book for you
Holy smokes batman what a rollercoaster ride this story was.
Winter and Birdie have loved each other since an early age, however, time, military, and other things in life separated them for a bit.
After many bumps in the road, a loss, and a secret will this couple ever get back to that happily ever place they once had?
I love this authors writing and she writes amazing MC stories with not only action and suspense, but they also have grit and romance and true to life everyday issues.
A look into why Winter and Birdie broke up. And how their love for each other has never diminished. Secrets and lies are brought to light under difficult circumstances. An emotional read, have tissues ready. No cliffhanger and hea. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
An excellent addition to Levine’s arsenal of Storm men, written in true gritty Levine style! I loved both of these characters easily and the story is one that you just can’t help but fall in love with. Full of emotion, raw grit and realistic storytelling are just a few phrases that come to mind while thinking of Hurricane Hearts.
The selflessness and dedication that Winter and Birdie have for each other as well as all that are close to them is amazing. Even after years of separation, secrets and heartbreak they don’t even hesitate to put the other person first before themselves when tough times are upon them. If half of our world held the same values as these characters, our world would a much better place than it actually is today.
“Family was everything even when it was the hardest thing in the world.”
I’m so glad that I took the time to read this one! A definite recommendation!
This is one of my very favourite author’s and she didn’t disappoint with this one!!! I love a well written second chance romance and this one is narrated with dual POV, which is perfect so that we get to know both sides equally well. I feel for me that brings balance to the story/relationship.
This one hit me in the feels so much as having fertility problems is a very real issues for a lot of women and I felt she handled it very well. It was filled to the brim with so much emotion that it felt like a roller coaster ride that I never want to get off of.
This author writes such “real” characters to me, its like you know them and experience everything they do with them. The chemistry between Winter and Birdie is off the charts and you just know they are destined to be together forever.
Really not much influence of the MC in this one with just a few mentions and I was actually OK with that as the main focus was on Winter and Birdie’s relationship and how a person’s decisions impact everyone around them. It was their journey back together.
As usual and to be expected with this amazing author, the secondary character’s development was fantastic and all I could think was I hope that Birdie’s brothers and Max, Winter’s brother, all get books of their own, especially Max as he really needs the love of a good women!!!
Overall an amazing emotional tale that I found so hard to put down and get back to real life and am really, really looking forward to more in this series and even this couple!!
She did it because she loved him.
“The first choice was to save the both of us. The second one had been to save him. Both had broken me in the process.”
What she thought would save him, instead brought devastation. She didn’t realize how deep the cut was until it was too late. When they meet again five years later the pain and suffering begins again, and so does the longing.
A love that true runs deep and never dies.
“She had no clue she still owned that heart. That my chest was a gaping hole of pain filled with nothing but memories that haunted my days and claimed my nights.”
They have a chance to rekindle everything that they’ve lost. But Birdie can’t bare the guilt and shame so she pushes him away.
“Five years of my own guilt twisted deep in my stomach. He thought this was all him when that was as far from the truth as you could get. I had my own stake in our ending, but it would kill him if he knew the truth. Or it would kill me for him to know. For him to hate me for what I did.”
But Winter isn’t letting her walk away this time. He’s determined to prove to Birdie that they belong to together.
“He set me on fire like he always had, and I felt myself falling down the abyss of need he’d always had a way of creating.”
“We were finding us again. With every touch, every taste, every moment, I was reconnecting our bodies and our minds. We were a wild hurricane of skin and limbs and greed and the kind of sex that is
never forgotten,”
Winter is also determined to get answers. To find out why she walked away five years ago. But in order for Birdie to move forward she will have to reveal what she’s done.
“This was a no win situation. Both of us were going to drown in this. The hurt and anger and pain were going to engulf us. The past was going to catch up with me and destroy him.”
To make matters worse Winter’s father dies and old familial wounds festering underneath layers of hurt are brought back to the surface. All of this takes a toll on Winter. How can he ever recover? In the end will it be too much? Can Winter and Birdie ever have something real and solid? Their love runs deep, but is it deep enough?
I love Winter! I really appreciated that the author let us see a side to Winter that was vulnerable, open, and honest. Beautiful characters, both exhibiting strength and vulnerability, learning to overcome and not hold grudges. This is a well written and interesting story! Swoon worthy and definitely steamy!
Nina Levine gives us another perfect MC love story. Nina always writes the most perfect Alphas and sassy strong heroines. I admire that she never makes them door mats.
Ladies when you start this book be prepared to not put it down. Trust me from the Prologue Birdie and Winter grab you into their world.
Their story is a second chance love story. Trust for all the reasons I thought they broke up those weren’t it, not even close. My heart broke for them and all the time they lost but esp for Winter.
Winter is definitely gonna be a favourite Hero this year.
He loves fiercely, he adores Birdie and moves heaven and earth for her. He loves his family and would bend backwards for them. Watching him battle all that he does and at the same time fight for Birdie was beautiful.
You cant help but fall inlove with him.
These two are undoubtedly meant for each other. Their chemistry and love is damn strong. They won’t give up on each other this time around.
I adored some side characters and wanted to strangle Winter’s Sister-In-Law. She was the devil in carnit.
Grab this book now I promise you won’t wanna miss this…
Enjoy!!!!!
What an epic read! I’m just blown away by how amazing this story is. Winter and Birdie find their way back to each other. They’ve been through an emotional roller coaster together. Winter is a strong, sweet, sexy alpha who just pulls at my heart strings. Birdie has dealt with so much but still manages to be this strong, beautiful, and sassy woman. I loved the banter between Winter and Birdie. This story had me crying, laughing, and gripping the edge of my seat. I can’t wait for the next book in this series!
From the blurb alone I couldn’t wait to read this story. What would make Birdie leave Winter when you could feel the love that they still had for each other even years later? I NEEDED to know!!! I was literally waiting with bated breath to find out what it was.
Their chemistry even after all their time apart was scorching, their feelings and emotional connection was still there BUT what happens when he finds out her secret? Will it change the way that he feels about her? Will it break his heart to where he walks away from her this time?
Another great story from this author!!
I really loved reading about Birdie and Winter in Hurricane Hearts. This book was a fantastic read it was an emotional roller coaster ride with an amazing cast of characters. I devoured this book in one sitting and could not put it down. I loved Winter and Birdie their story was phenomenal they meet each other at the airport even though it has been five years since they last saw each other.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book

4.5Stars
Whilst this book is classified in the MC genre, it really doesn’t have much MC content in it. That being said, this book has so much more! It is full of real-life situations that many of us go through written in a beautifully mesmerising way that will make you cry real tears and feel real hurt for the characters Winter and Birdie, as well as Max! God, I felt for him as we all have a Melissa stuck somewhere in our family!!! This story is one of heartache and how true love can overcome anything that gets in its way and I absolutely loved it!! Thanks again Nina for writing a book that hit straight at my soul xxx
I DO LOVE NINA LEVINE’S BOSSY BIKERS.
HURRICANE HEARTS is a second chance romance that tugs on the heart.
The whole plot focuses more on the characters and their circumstances more than anything which made it a little different, there is very little angst or drama, there is no club business or drama’s, this is two people getting their lives right where it should be and it is brilliantly written.
I do prefer more angst, drama and club business though when I pick up an MC, its what I am in the mood for after all when I pick up an MC story but it did not take the enjoyment away from Birdie and Winter’s story, it just felt less MC and more Contemporary romance which I do also enjoy.
A little about the plot;
Winter and Birdie broke up 5 years ago after a ten-year relationship, the main factor in the break up was Winter serving in the forces and Birdie’s inability to cope with the different versions of Winter that returned home each time. Years later and Winter has left the forces and is a member of an MC and after moving away Birdie is now back in her home town working with her best friend.
There is no longer anything holding Winter back from reclaiming his girl.
There’s a lot of push and pull at first, Winter isn’t buying Birdie’s excuses for the breakup years ago and Birdie has a secret that prevents her from giving Winter her heart again but like all bossy bikers Winter finally get’s his way.
A heartfelt story, a story of family, second chances and true love.
Hurricane Hearts was my first book from Nina Levine and it won’t be my last. Hurricane Hearts is a second chance MC romance although the MC element isn’t the main focus in this story. The relationship between Winter and Birdie was and I liked that. Some bikers from Winters’ Storm MC appeared and it was enough for me. I was totally invested in Birdie and Winter finding their way back to one another after Birdie walked away from him five years ago.
They share a lot of history after being together for a decade. Birdie made a choice. A mistake which caused her to make a choice to walk away from Winter. Five years later and Winter will do anything to make Birdie his again but it’s not easy. I enjoyed their chemistry and how well they knew one another and each other’s family. Winter’s brother Max, Birdie’s mother and her two brothers Casey and Logan were fabulous secondary characters.
The author states this is just the beginning of Winter’s journey towards being the President Of The Storm MC and I’m ready for the ride. Hurricane Hearts is a terrific second chance romance filled with all the feels I expect and enjoy.
4 Love, Fight, Battle, Protect Stars
Oooooooh the ferocity between Winter and Birdie was intense and consuming. This book and new to me author had me glued to every page. Whilst I love MC and thought that this book was needed before reading book 2 I was wrong. This is a second chance romance but does touch on the MC life towards the end.
I can’t deny Nina Levine has passion and strength in her writing , she has the ability to make the reader feel like a voyeur in the characters relationship and the electricity she created in this story had every single nerve lit up. Two very strong and determined characters fight their way back to each other from events and mistakes made 5 years ago. Needless to say the toad back was extremely rocky and emotions run high…
This author is now on my stalking hit list . I’ll slowly be working my way through previous MC series!!
OMG..Nina Levine. Hurricane Hearts is probably my most favorite of all your stories. Winter and Birdie have a love like no other couple but when she walked away five years ago it broke both their hearts.
Birdie has carrie so much pain for the five years since she walked away from Winter. She holds a secret that could end their chances for their happily ever after. When they do get back together there are fireworks and family drama that will bring them together or break them apart forever.
I love Nina Levine’s books, her badass alfa bikers and their kickass ladies. Even when I’m out on the cliff waiting for the next book in the series, I know Nina is writing as fast as her characters tell her their stories.
