Nova was the third book in the Kings of Retribution MC – Louisiana by Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alverez.
Cain “Casanova – Nova” LeBlanc was a patched member of the MC. He was also a single father to seventeen year old Piper and the twin brother to Riggs, the MC President. He has been the fun player, excelling in one night stands with no ties. Until Promise.
Promise Bailey was a defense attorney and a good one. She was stone cold in the court room, but a softie in life for those she loved. Her father died in the military before she was born and her mother remarried but died when she was a teenager. Her step family became her family – but wasn’t much of a family. Once her mom died, she didn’t experience true love.
Promise had just had one of the worst days of her life and she decided to go out for a girl’s night with her besties. She met Nova and had an instant connection. He was the perfect one night stand. Except Nova wasn’t going to give up that easily.
Nova and Promise’s paths crossed again and the foundation for the storyline was built. I loved Nova. I loved Promise. And I loved Piper (Nova’s daughter). It was a fast and intriguing read with multiple plots running simultaneously but all coming full circle in the end.
True to form, the authors utilized the entire MC family while developing the saga. No telling who is next but possibly Kiwi and Piper. Although, I would love to see Jackson and Teagan have their own stories as well. Either way, bring it on!
Nova: The Kings of Retribution MC Lousiana Chapter
By Chrystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez
Hot Dauumm ladies you have truly outdone yourselves with this jewel of a story. With each story I fall more in love with these incredible characters. Your writing draws a reader into a world that feels real and we want to be a part of their community.
Hopefully you have read the other books because then you can see the dynamics between all the members of the MC,their families and community. If not trust me do it now!
Okay with that being said lets get back to Nova he’s the Enforcer for the MC single father to an incredible seventeen year old daughter Piper, twin brother to Riggs,grandson to Pop, loyal, devoted to family both blood and MC. He is an incredible artist, tuff as nails alpha biker when needed but will braid his daughters hair in a moments notice. Nova short for Casanova actual name Cain Leblanc is yes a ladies man. He tells them up front that he doesn’t do relationships but he can give them a night to remember but nothing more. That was until a beautiful brunette walked into the clubs bar Twisted Throttle and got his heart humming.
Promise Bailey a brilliant defense attorney who loves being a lawyer but hates who she represents is at her breaking point. She works for her stepfather who has made her life unbearable even though all she has ever wanted was to be loved and accepted. Her evil stepsister is the bane of her existence causing havoc at every turn only to be the apple of her daddy’s eye. Her only saving grace is her stepbrother who made her life bearable after her mothers death. After the worst possible betrayal she is devastated so her bestfriends convince her to go and have fun. They all go to a bar called Twisted Throttle after a few drinks she gets brave and decides to do something she has never done before approach a sexy tall bearded man and offer to buy him a drink. Whew lord have mercy be still my heart . Lets just say Nova and Promise’s journey was one heck of a ride. It wasn’t easy there was danger lurking in the shadows just waiting to jump at the opportunity to destroy anyone in the way. I loved the connection, love,devotion between Cain and Piper. Then how Promise and Piper came together as if they were meant to be part of each others lives all along.
What an incredible storyline with characters that feel like family and allow you to lose yourself to where you wish you could actually be a part of their lives.
I received an ARC for my honest review.
My review probably doesn’t do this book justice it truly is a remarkable story.
5+
This book is so good, but I am biased. I absolutely love the King’s of Retribution. These strong alphas make my heart beat fast and my face flush. Nova is everything I anticipated him to be and so much more. He’s lets face it hot, dirty talking biker, and be still my heart…a daddy. Him and Piper’s relationship is so sweet.
Promise is both equal smart, sassy, and vulnerable. I like a lady who can be tough and take care of herself, but can also know its ok to lean on your man. That’s what I love about this couple.
Nova sees what he wants, what he can live without and goes for it. Promise is completely defenseless against his charms…ahem alpha way lol. This book had amazing chemistry between these two and oh so hot passion. I love it. Great job Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels.
A perfect story. The man who thought he would never find love yet love grabs hold and refuses to let go. an absolute must read
It is great. Nova alpha all the way. He see something he wants and gets it, in this case it is Promise. He is certain enough for both of them and let’s nothing get in his way. He came he saw and he definitely conquered. Great dynamic between him and his daughter which was great not all are bratty which I thought was different and relateable. Would have liked to have it go into detail a little bit more because I didn’t want it to end. BY far my favorite alpha.
Nova has relied on himself and his brothers for a very long time. He knows what it means to have a family and he’ll protect them at any cost. He hasn’t allowed himself to have a real relationship in so long, he’s forgotten what it’s like. His daughter Piper is his whole world and she’s the only female he’ll ever love so unconditionally. What he doesn’t expect is to get into a world of trouble by protecting her. He needs help getting out of the predicament he’s in and that’s where Promise enters his life.
Promise has also had to rely on herself and only herself since she was a teenager. The very people that should have rallied around her and comforted her after her mothers passing have done the opposite. She’s worked hard to get where she’s at in her career and along the way hoped for it to be enough to gain positive attention from her stepfather. When she witnesses’ a life-changing incident, she’s left questioning her life even more. A chance meeting with Nova leads to the best night of her life. One and done….or so she thought. When he walks into her office needing help, everything changes.
Through their journey, there are a lot of ups and downs, questions, uncertainty, a whole heck of a lot of steam thrown in! Their love is so beautiful and it makes you fall in love with them. Of course, there’s a lot of hell that comes their way and just when you think it’s all settled down BAM! I LOVED their love story! It was an incredible story that made me cry…but a cry I didn’t even know I needed! It’s a beautifully moving journey that is amazing!
Nova…swoon! He’s just as drool-worthy and panty-melting as his twin brother. Whew! The dirty words coming out of that man’s mouth. Yes, please. And Promise is the perfect addition to the family. Once again, the sisters delivered an action packed, steam filled, epic love story of a King falling for his queen.
These two ladies have swiftly become one of my Go To Authors. When one of their books hit the shelves, this reader is waiting in line. Their MC series by far hold my interest and keep me spellbound. The storylines are suspenseful, thrilling, romantic, and full of sexy alpha bikers, and boy oh boy if I may say so, Nova sure fits that bill. Kudos for an excellent read in a series that just keeps getting better – if you haven’t read the original Kings of Retribution MC series and the Spinoff – the Louisiana Chapter, trust me when I say you are missing out.
Nova (Cain LeBlanc) may be the hard nosed enforcer for his club but he’s also a single dad that’s built his life around his daughter and his brothers. He’s raised his daughter, with the help of his MC brothers and Gramps since she was an infant. His nickname (Nova) of course comes from his sex appeal ie: Cassanova. He has a different woman almost every night but never brings them home to expose his daughter to his escapades. (But being 17 she knows the score – Nova and his daughter have a special bond that is heartwarming and so touched my heart).
Promise Bailey, a local attorney, is out with her besties celebrating her recent freedom from her douche of a fiancee. When she spots Nova seving up drinks at the biker bar, she decides he’s the one to give her one night of passion that she’ll remember forever, no names, no repeats just one night. This is right up Nova’s alley. But there is something about Promise that he can’t explain, a pull that makes him want to throw out every rule he lives by. Since his daughter is staying the night with a friend, he breaks his #1 rule and takes her home. But is one lust filled night enough?
When trouble rocks Nova’s world his path crosses with Promise’s again. But this time there is a lot more at stake: jail, destruction and hearts. Outstanding addition to the series and this is an exceptional action packed romantic ride that his reader Highly Recommends.
2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars.
My love for these two ladies knows no bounds. Their Kings of Retribution series is my gold standard for MC books. They are everything I look for in my MC reads: love, loyalty, family, and doing whatever it takes to protect and defend their own. Riggs was and will always be my favorite of the boys but his twin brother Nova shines just as bright. His woman, Promise has had it rough but she knows beauty when she sees it. She hasn’t let life’s rough times beat her down, she wants to love and be loved in return. When these two find each other, they glow like fireworks on the Fourth of July. I loved and savored each and every word of their journey, content in the knowledge that every bump in the road had led them to each other. I was in tears by the end, the characters so real that I couldn’t help but cry in happiness for their beautiful, sweet, fierce love and the future that awaits them. There aren’t enough stars for the magic that is Nova and the talent that is Daniels and Alvarez! Thank you ladies for gifting us with your stories, this reader is eternally grateful.
Crystal and Sandy blow me away every time! Their characters are always so lovable and Nova, Promise, and Piper are no different. Nova and Promises story absolutely had me hooked from the start. I was so excited to read Novas story, to learn more about his and Pipers past and Crystal and Sandy didn’t disappoint. They definitely kept me turning the pages especially with the little bomb they dropped that I wasn’t expecting!
Nova is such a great guy and so similar yet so different from his twin brother Riggs. I enjoyed finally hearing his story. He and Piper have the best father daughter relationship and I love how it’s portrayed in the book.
Promise is the kind of woman I aspire to be and I love that she calls Nova, honey! She’s absolutely perfect and couldn’t fit better in Nova and Pipers life. The three of them were meant to be a family they all deserve it. As Piper grows, I can’t wait to see where she ends up in the KOR series. Another great addiction to the series, can’t recommend it enough!
Love love loved it! I couldn’t wait to read Nova’s story and I wasn’t disappointed. There’s a lot of drama with a happy ending. Nova is such and Alpha and Promise is so strong. cannot wait to read the rest of this series. I would definitely recommend Nova to someone looking for a good read.
I received this ARC in return for an honest review.
Talk about swoon worthy!!
Theres not much that is sexier than a man stepping up & taking care of his daughter…and doing it by himself! Yep officially swooning for Nova.
But come on. What do you expect when the man is nicknamed after Casanova.
Sexy, tough, loyal & willing to do anything in his power for his daughter & club, Nova is the ultimate package.
Promise was a great character. Strong, smart & beautiful she’s everything Nova never knew he wanted.
Their chemistry was off the charts from the beginning & Promise blended in with the family seamlessly.
It was a great story that keeps you turning the pages & wishing it didnt end.
As always I cant wait for the next chapter!
it was amazing
These ladies have hit a home run again! I love Cain and Promise. Cain falls for her the moment he laid eyes on her. Promise is a little slower to acknowledge their attraction but once she does she is in 100%. Not to mention Cain’s daughter, she is very much a part of this story with no filter. Like all King members, Cain is very protective over what is his. Anyone who threatens his family be fair warned, you will not get away with it. The Louisiana chapter is just as exciting as the original Kings
It is hard for me to put into words just how amazing this book is. Nova is a devoted father to Piper, twin brother to Riggs, and brother to the Kings members. He is content with being a father and brother until he meets Promise. Promise is out of a relationship and just looking for one night to forget and have fun. The chemistry between Nova and Promise is hot and sexy. Their story is emotional, witty and action packed. Crystal and Sandy have once again hit a home run with this book. If you are looking for a series that features hot and sexy alpha men and women who can turn them into big teddy bears, then the Kings of Retribution is highly recommended. If I was ever in need of rescuing, I would definitely want one of these guys coming to my rescue. I am so looking forward to and impatiently waiting for the next installment!!
These ladies know how to write an AMAZING MC book. Seriously devoured this book page after page in a day. I absolutely loved the characters of Nova and Promise and their story. I “promise” you will not regret buying this book!
I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review. To say I loved this book would be an understatement. It was an absolutely wonderful read. I have read all the books in the Kings of Retribution series and they get better and better. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Nova is ladies man. He enjoys them but he never does relationships and doesn’t get attached. The only woman in his life and his main priority is his daughter Piper. They have a beautiful bond. Their love for one another is infinite and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for his baby girl, even if it means going to war with a rival club.
Promise is a beautiful young lawyer who seems to find her life as redundant and lacking. She’s always trying to fit in and please everyone else, even if it’s sucking the life out of her. After suffering the final betrayal she could take she finally decides enough is enough. On a girls night out she finds herself feeling wildly reckless and decides a night of passion with a hot biker is what she needs.
Nova’s life is content having his family and the Kings, until he meets Promise and realizes what he’s missing. Thinking they would never see each other again, fate steps in and so begins Promise and Nova’s journey, but not everyone takes to kindly to their new and blossoming relationship. There’s always someone watching, waiting to strike.
I enjoyed this book and being back with the Kings of Retribution. Nova is a sexy single father. He is loyal, fierce and has a hell of a temper which fits his enforcer rank. Promise and Nova have that wild Insta-love, all in, attraction and there’s no stopping them.
I did feel that there were some issues that weren’t addressed. For one, Promise was supposed to represent Nova for his charges by the PD, but they never went to court or resolved the lingering issues and charges that were hanging over his head. Also Promise never mentions what happens with Thomas or if they resolve their issues with each other. We know she is done with Avery and that chapter is closed. Also, if she was close to her step brother I felt he should have been around more. She never invites him over, she never tells him her news and he wasn’t even at the hospital for her.
