"This man. Oh my."
That is exactly what I keep saying out loud throughout reading the new book in the Storm MC series! This man. Griff. Oh. My. Goodness. I love all the Storm men, but Griff is another character on his own. Nina Levine knows how write her stories to make sure that each character in each book has their own personalities and stories to tell but at the same time, each story weaves and connects with each other. I've said this in my earlier reviews, but that is what I adore about this series and Nina Levine's writing. It's addicting!
Illusive is another perfect example of the author's talent. We've read sneak peeks on Griff in the first books in the series. I got curious. I got excited. At some point, I was worried where the story would lead his character. Then... Illusive came out and my curiosity was fed. He was an extremely passionate guy, sensitive, and protective.What happened in his past was tragic, I like how the author didn't dwell too much on the past but was still able to express the emotions from those events. Griff is such a complete package kind of guy, he's hard to his enemies but a softie when it comes to his family, he likes keeping his feelings to himself but wants to know what others are feeling. And I don't know why, but he caught me by surprise when it came to his bedroom activities. It's a great kind of surprise and I thought "Ah, well, it figures he's like this!" H O T. Cold shower recommended.
Then there's Sophia. I have my own favorite hero, heroine, and couples -- all different, but I think I found my number 1 Nina Levine heroine in Sophia. It helped that I love how she complements Griff, her personality, like what Aunt Josie mentioned, balanced the seriousness of him. Her rambling was endearing! That's another top reason why she's now my favorite Storm girl.
The push and pull between Sophia and Griff was just perfect! No rush, no drag, just a good amount of no's and yeses and that's what I like in my romance read. And damn the I was enjoying every page that I had a bit of a hangover when I got to the end. I wanted more and thankfully, the 7th book is just around the corner. Even though it will be about Scott and Harlow, I'm just happy to read the Storm guys and gals again and the continuation of Storm as the Club's story because Illusive had a lot more club business in the story than the other Storm books and it just keeps getting better and better!
