When Grumpy meets Sunshine.
This was such a sweet book.
I loved how Griff and Sophia could be so different from each other one time, yet have so much in common.
They felt like day and night one time, but then they’d mix together like dawn or dusk, when colors aren’t defined, they are just swirling around creating this spectacular view, a miscellaneous painting that take your breath away.
They had a lot to overcome, but with a little nudge here and there, they found their way towards each other and faced their demons together.
It was awesome.
Going into this story I was nervous about what was going to happen with Griff. I just love how moody he is, it makes seeing his sweet side that much better.
Griff isn’t looking for anyone when his aunt tries to set him up with her neighbor without giving herself away that, that’s what she is doing. In the end the chemistry between Sophia and Griff can’t be helped and these two end up needing one another more than they ever thought.
There’s a bit of angst with what’s going on with the club. Don’t worry more questions get answered then new questions arise. So you have to go read this book and the series if you haven’t yet. You won’t regret it.
I am still playing catch up with this series! I read Wilder last week but knew I was still missing a couple of books from some of the brothers. I usually like reading a series in order but it didn’t spoil anything!
Griff and Sophia both have ghosts from the past that affect them in someway but they seem to melt away when in each other’s company.
And then you throw in the stuff going on with the club and it makes for a fantastic read that kept me on my toes! Loved it!!
While I have this under the BDSM category, I wouldn’t consider it fully bondage and submissive. Griff is just a natural dominate in the bedroom.
Griff Hawkins has been through hell and back with the club. But finally things are as they should be with Scott as the Prez and him the VP. However, everything Griff worked so hard for could come back to bit him when his past is threatening to resurface. When it comes to Griff’s love life, he’s turned his back on any kind of relationship after being burned by an ex. So now he’s a one-night stand kind of guy and has no plans to change.
Sophia Barnes knows what it’s like to grow up unloved and unwanted. She craves to be loved for who she is, not how she looks and certainly not for the changes a man thinks he can make to her. She’s not a one-night stand kinda of girl, but for Griff she makes exceptions.
Griff knows Sophia is different and gives him a reason to live for something besides the club. Especially when his position at the club is threatened by his past.
I think Sophia is probably the sweetest woman of all of Nina’s ladies that she’s written about. While I love all her women, Sophia seems to have a more tender heart and doesn’t see a reason to be a bitch to be heard. She’s got her insecurities due to her past, but Griff is man enough to show his woman everyday what she means to him.
It was the 6th in a Series and it finished telling about others that were in the same Bikers Club.
Its been awhile since I read it so I can’t really remember how it ended. Sorry. Lol
Blown away! Nina is one of those go to authors-one click authors. Storyline gets your attention from the start and you won’t put put down until the end. This book will have you smiling, laughing and fanning the flaming. OMG there is nothing like those dirty talking Storm men who are sex on a stick and Griff is no exception. He’s raw, bada**, sinfully sexy, is usually a man of few words and has secrets that haunt him from his past. He lives for the club and feels he has nothing to offer a woman. Once burned and a little gun shy. From the start Sophia intrigued him like no other woman making him come back for more. He quickly becomes protective and we get to see a different side of him the more time he spends with her. She’s sweet, loyal, rambles a lot, and has been given a raw deal in life. She sees something in Griff and wants more. Their chemistry is phenomenal and explosive. Whew! They sure know how to burn the sheets up and get a body’s motor running. Griff may put up a little resistance in the beginning but of course it doesn’t hurt to have aunt Josie doing a little match making in your favor. Let’s don’t forget things are heating up with club problems along with secrets that are revealed when Griff’s past comes to light. So buckle up for the ride this is definitely a book you want to read! Can’t wait for more!
This would have to be my FAV Nina Levine Book so FAR!!!!
I have been waiting for Griff’s since he first crossed my path. I knew there was a character that I needed to know more about. This book does not disappoint!!! This book is FREAKING HOT!!! and you all need to GET IT NOW!!!
The story of Griff and Sophia tackles real world issues in such a way that you can’t help but be drawn in and your emotions flair to the surface.
Griff is one HOT SEXY DOMINANT piece of art! And the REALNESS of Sophia will have you drawn in so far that you won’t be able to put this book down.
The book follows on with the tension at Storm MC so thick it’s hard to see where loyalties lie. Will Griff’s secret finally tear the MC apart ???
Sophia is a sweet, down to earth everyday girl that has a tendency to ramble out her unfiltered thoughts when nervous or stressed.
Neither were looking for love, but fate (or someone close) brings them together. Who will cave first? The girl who refuses to do one night stands or the guy who doesn’t want any else but.
This book is part of a series that needs to be read in order so make sure if you haven’t checked out Nina’s work before, start from Book 1 which is currently free.
#1 STORM (J & Madison) – OUT NOW – CURRENTLY FREE

Griff and Sophia have pasts they want to forget. Griff’s place in the club may be in jeopardy. Others start messing with the women and Griff’s past comes into play. Violence, sex and secrets.
Griff is the VP of the Storm MC. He has secrets in his past and after being a part of the MC for the last few years he doesn’t trust anyone that isn’t in his MC family. Sophia has been searching her whole life for someone to love and to love her back. Griff’s aunt Josie lives across the street from Sophia. She might be trying to play matchmaker just a little. The MC is dealing with so many different issues through this book as well as Griff and Sophia’s personal issues. It just keeps you turning the pages to find out what happens next.
I love all the books in this series so far. Love how each new book builds on to the previous books. We get deeper into the lives of all the couples with each new story. The author has done a great job of holding my interest and making me want to keep reading.
Illusive is Griff’s story. His history that led him to Storm MC is heartbreaking, but the man he became due to his circumstances is a good one, and the hidden parts Sophia brings out in him make Griff the total package.
Sophia is a strong heroine, which I absolutely adore!! She had a tough childhood, made a few bad choices and came out the other side strong and sure of who she is and what she deserves.
Griff doesn’t believe he’s what she needs but thankfully she doesn’t take no for an answer and proceeds to show him exactly what she needs and the real Griff comes out.
Love, love love this series and Griff’s story is the icing on the cake thus far, though I have to say I’m anxiously awaiting Scott & Harlow’s story.
Another must read in this kickass series.
Another awesome installment in this well written series!! Love these characters and stories!!!
I have read all of the books in this series and my only complaint is that I wanted this book a long time before it was released. Griff and Sophia made a wonderful pair. I liked the slow build of the relationship and the fact that it wasn’t insta-lust, meaning they didn’t fall into bed immediately but the attraction is definitely there. Griff is a hard man in the MC but with the women in his life, he’s protective and free with his love. I highly recommend this book and recommend the entire series if you haven’t read the previous books yet. This one could be read as a stand alone but you’re missing a lot if you don’t know the backgrounds on all of the players in this story
