Illusive (Storm MC #6) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 2,954 ratings

He’s been burnt by love.

Griff Hawkins keeps his pain locked away and the ghosts of his past buried even deeper. Three years ago, he chose the Storm MC as his family and accepted the ways of their violent world. These days, he lives his life with one rule – don’t get attached to anyone but his club.

She longs to be loved.

Sophia Barnes aches to know real love, and lives her life with arms wide open, ready to embrace the possibilities that come her way.

When Griff’s past is exposed and his place in the club is jeopardised, he fights for his family the only way he knows how, regardless of the consequences. That is, until he meets the woman who brings him to his knees, giving him something to lose.

Can they teach each other to leave the sins of the past behind in order to find love, or will Griff's demons dictate their future?

    OMG i Flove Nina Levine!!! Every hero she writes i fall in love with. This is probably my all time favorite MC series and i get a little nervous every time a new book in the series is released in case it doesn't live up to the rest... but i need never worry it always tops and surpasses the last!

    This is Griff and Sophia's story. We have met Griff in the rest of the series but he was always one of those characters you're not really sure of. Do you like him? Do you not? Is he a bad guy or a good guy? I think he's been a question on everyone's lips from the start. Well the questions are answered here.

    This story picks up where Sassy Christmas leaves off. Griff didn't go to the party at J and Maddison's for personal reasons and is in a pretty bad place until he runs into Sophia. He can't seem to get her out of his head even at the worst time of year for him. I loved Sophia from the start she just spurts out whatever is on her mind whether she want's to or not and i love that honesty about her, she can't help herself. They're an unlikely couple but a match made in heaven. She's mostly a glass half full girl, always trying to look on the bright side and being positive for others. Griff is pretty dark and ruthless but has traces of the man he used to be still there hidden underneath. Sophia and his aunt are the only two people to ever bring out his true self. Griff fights any kind of relationship and Sophia want's a steady man to build a family with. All wrong for each other but all right too.

    The story kept me gripped from start to finish, there is quite a bit of club story in here which i really liked as Storm has been struggling since Marcus their former prez was killed. Griff is tied in with all this and with his revelation in this book his place at Storm is in jeopardy. So is the club. He has to prove his loyalty and there is action aplenty as rival gangs and Griff's past catch up with the club. I also loved seeing Kick and King in here and finding out what they're up to. Also a sneak peek of some new characters to come.

    The love between Sophia and Griff is smoking hot!! they just can't keep their hands or anything else off each other!! unless one is tied up! lol but also it's so sweet and brutally honest. There's no tooing and froing they both get out what troubles them and sort it out with no misunderstanding and i think that's what makes these two pretty special. The love scenes are off the charts!! seriously!! Pant wetting, several change of undies, i want my own Griff, off the charts. Official new Book BF right here!

    I won't give spoilers or snippets because i want you to read it. I want everyone to read it. In my opinion this is the best MC series ever.

    Highly recommend this book to anyone.

    5 stars!!

    Nina Levine has yet again blown me away not that I am surprised she never fails to disappoint, from one amazing book to another.

    I don't know where to start with this review! This is the book I have waited on for what feels like a life time - My Man Griff! I've loved Griff from the start and with each book I found my self becoming more intrigued with Griff he was just so mysterious I NEEDED to know what his story was and how he became a member of storm and to know what formed him into the man he is today!

    After reading the other books in the series, we finally find out why Griff has this dark demeanour about him. It is heartbreaking to find out the real reasons behind it all. Meeting Sophie is the best thing for him as she accepts him as he is, but also draws out the caring and loving side of him. They share a past of loss, and it glues them together.

    Griff is the true meaning of alpha male! He is sexy as all holly hell, he is the whole package as far as I am concerned. Hiding secrets that could threaten what he has built within Storm MC. Loss and heartbreak in his life has made him the man he is today. He has a hardened heart that he feels no one will be able to break. There is only one person that he has let into his heart and that is his Aunt Josie. She is the one person that he shows his loving and caring side to. He is strong, powerful and loyal beyond all forms. Griff so are all sh*t made me swoon! I have always loved Griff (and of course Scott) but poor Scott just got whipped out!

    I freakin' LOVE Sophia!! She knows exactly what she wants and goes for at all lengths!! She is strong, caring and full of sass! She has had hear heartbroken by the people who should never hurt you. She has values and she hates to break the promises she makes to herself until that is she meets Griff. I absolutely LOVE how Sophia rambles and doesn't think before she speaks, she lays it all out open and honestly. She disarms Griff with her honesty and vulnerability, and plants her flag in his heart without game playing She is quirky and totally unique!

    I am so in love with enamoured with this sexy and passionate couple in Nina Levine’s latest in the Storm MC series. I love how Nina makes you feel that you truly take this journey with them, they are so easy to relate to and realistic!

    I continue to be blown way by just how talented Nina is! How brilliant the Storm series is and just how much it keeps growing! This series has a big place in my heart and I love going on this journey with each and every storm member!

    I loved all the other books in this series and although I did enjoy this book I must confess that at times I did struggle to warm to Griff. I can't really put my finger on what was missing but it just didn't grab and keep my attention like the previous books.

    Loved Griff and Sophia, The dominance in the sex scenes was great A great read again about Storm MC and Nina handled Griff's cop history with style and even I was on tenderhooks at the vote (though knew it would go Griff's way, everything was crossed). Can't wait for Command the next in the series.

    Eu acompanho a série desde o primeiro livro e adorei todos personagens e o universo criado pela autora. Todos personagens são muito interessantes e a trama prende o leitor do início ao fim. Temos romance, drama familiar, suspense, tensão entre os membros do clube onde lealdade são testadas e amizades solidificadas. A heroína é uma mulher de fibra e as cenas entre os dois são muito quentes. A tia do herói é uma fofa! Amei a leitura e recomendo a todos! Já comprei o próximo na pré-venda e estou ansiosa pela leitura.

    "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!

    Stars: 5 stars
    Recommended to: MC romance readers. Fans of the Storm series.
    Series: Yes. Interconnected characters.
    POV: First person. Dual POV.
    Extra Comment: Action, humor, sexy, sweet, and an amazing storytelling.
