Sydney Storm MC #4
Hyde's Absolution
Possessive biker alert
Monroe Lee is a handful.
She fights me, challenges me and tries to resist me.
Where I’m jagged, she’s smooth.
Where I’m dark, she’s pure.
Where I’m broken, she’s whole.
I am not a good man.
I’ve hurt everyone I’ve ever loved.
I should walk away before I ruin her too.
But fuck, we are fire together.
And I’ve been out in the cold too long.
At a time when everything is falling down around me, she might just be my saviour.
This story contains all the panty-melting sexiness and alpha goodness that Nina Levine books are known for.

Pathetic loser of a zero who rather fake his death for 14 years instead of being a man and stay to take care of his wife and baby girl when they were threatened by the bad guy..
Heroine is NOT his wife.. Wife is remarried to another guy and zero is hurt that his daughter is calling the OM daddy.. After that I could not continue this book.
I didn't get that far to find out if he slept with club whores but I'll bet he did..so if he did that makes him a cheater, at least his wife had that excuse because she thought he was dead so that doesn't make her a cheater.
******Edited******
Went back and read some more. Yep Zero is a CHEATER!!
Just read the lovely excerpt bellow.
“I filled her in on what I’d been doing with my life since she’d last seen me. Not that there was much to tell, because mostly I’d been taking care of club shit and doing anything to avoid thinking about the way my life had turned out. Those things involved drinking and sex—two things I was sure Tenille wouldn’t want to hear about, so I did my best to steer the conversation away from me, to her and Charlie.”

Damn! I hate this part. I read one of the best books this year, if not of all the time, and I can't find word to do it justice. All I can think about is, that I love this series with each book more and more. I had to say it felt somewhat different, then other Ninas books. Yes, the bikers are as intense, gritty and dirty talkers, that just steals your heart and the girls are strong and sassy, that you just wanna to be one of them, but something felt... Well, different. And it's not bad different. I just can't explain. Nina did with it marvelous job, though. And that says something, considering her books even before was phenomenal.
I love Hyde. I went through all kaleidoscope of emotion. That man don't leave you nonchalant to him. Hyde take you along on his ride.
There's lots of happening. If you read previous books, you know that the club hasn't having the best times. It seems each week they are hit with one or another blow. And no peace in sight. And the worst thing is, that no matter how bad it was until now, the worst it seems to be just coming theirs way. It makes me worried about my guys.
I so can't wait to see what next book will bring. Hopefully, it finally shows why you don't fuck with Storm.

Hyde's Absolution.....
You ask yourself what is so different about this book, well let me to you, this book is EVERYTHING!!!
You feel the rawness, the vulnerability. In all the ways a book should, it touches you to your CORE!! I do believe Nina Levine you have found your niche in the book world. You continue to give us the unexpected.
An emotional book that leaves you waiting and wanting more. Boundaries are crossed, love is on the line, hearts are broken, and lives are lost.
In the thick of all the craziness that is going on in Hyde's life, there is a bright light with a smart mouth in the middle of all his consuming darkness......Monroe!!!
Hyde and Monroe, the way these two fall for each other and then fall apart, just to fall back together again is like seeing two unlikely souls on different paths colliding; bringing a love story nobody saw coming!!!
Roe was Hyde's water. She had just enough power to DROWN him, soft enough to CLEANSE him, and she was deep enough to SAVE him!
If you have never been fortunate enough to purchase one of Nina Levine's books, please go NOW and one-click. This author is a fantastic storyteller who weaves herself into your heart by an intricate tale you just can't put down.
After buying the book let me tell you to get your "Nina Levine Book Survivor Kit in hand:

Monroe and Hyde
Monroe is my fave female character of this author, sassy, bold, kick ass and has a dirty mouth to rival Hyde. When I read the blurb and saw her name I was insanely happy, I love the thought of them together. Their dirty moments are my fave, the dirty sex, the dirty texting. She gives as good as she gets which I'm sure Hyde appreciates. Hyde has so much going on in his world and it all seems to be hitting him from everywhere. He needs someone who's going to challenge him but fight for him too. I'm looking forward to King, he's a bad ass MOFO.

The women in Hyde's life don't really pay half a mind to him at times, “or,” I said, “you could just tell him where to go now and save a lot of time and effort.” They both stared at me as if I was talking out of my *** and then turned back to each other and ignored what I said. When Bree hobbled around the car to join them, I said, “You wanna get off that ankle and rest it.” She also ignored me and started talking boy **** with Monroe and Charlie." There are things Hyde just doesn't care about, "I gripped her ***. “Eff morning breath. Give me back that mouth.” When she hesitated, I ordered, “Now, red.” I loved this book, I habe missed these men tremendously.

Nina!!!! OMG! I didn't think this series could get any better and with each book it does! I love the angst, danger, and dirty mouth bikers. I mean, they are some of my favorite book men ever! Hyde has made his way to the top of that list and I don't think he will be leaving. Well, maybe when King comes along. But its not about that sexy beast this time. Its all about some Hyde and Monroe. And let me tell ya..... They are HOT HOT HOT!!!
Monroe is a sassy little thing. Shes funny, sweet, and sooo not a push over. Which of course this amuses Hyde. Shes no stranger to the MC but her thinking a biker is for her is not acceptable. She doesn't want the complications of being with one. But shes so attracted to Hyde that maybe, just maybe one night with this broody man would be a little fun for her. When one night kinda turned into something a little more, all hell breaks loose for both Hyde and Monroe.
Hyde. WHAT A MAN!!!!!!!! I want my own personal Hyde. Hes honest, strong, and so darn alpha its not even funny. And BOSSY! But I love it. It makes me giggle at how he is with Monroe. He is use to taking charge and handling everything. With Monroe being a little spitfire hes in for one heck of a challenge. He needed someone to keep him on his toes. She so does!
Its amazing how Nina can write these men. I mean every single one is different and set in their own ways. These stories are beautiful but yet dark and dangerous at the same time. Like Ive said many times before, Ninas writing is addictive. I can set and read her words for hours and never tire or get bored. Getting caught up in her words is such an easy thing to do. Way to go Nina, with the year you've had you deserve every good thing imaginable. Thank you for great stories, and sharing the words with us. Youre amazing lady! I want to be you when I grow up! ;)

I will start of by saying .....Nina you freaking blew this book out of the ball park. I can't begin to describe how much I loved this story Hyde has taken first place with Havoc for me , and that's not an easy task
This story is a must read I love the Storm men unconditionally but this book ..... Wow
Nina's books always stick with me for a long time I absolutely love her writing her characters are strong , broken and watching as they sort their lives always makes me fall in love with them and actually feel what they are feeling.
I'm not going into detail being Hyde's Absolution has not released yet, I don't want to ruin anyone's experience reading it.
I will say this though ..... Each book in the Sydney Storm Series gets better and better and this will absolutely blow your mind.
Txs so much Nina for yet another masterpiece babe
Now I have another favorite Alpha to drool over

FLAT OUT THE BEST BOOK OF THIS SERIES!
What a read! Not at all what I was expecting! My emotions were all over the place. Hyde's Absolution is an Incredibly well thought out emotional story.
Hyde is a broken man who for so many years of being alone and trying to wrong his rights finds it hard not to get lost in the darkness and it takes acceptance from family friends and a love a sassy lady for him to finally really live life.
I can't believe how much I underestimated Hyde, he was always an enigma to me and he didn't really intrigue me like some of the other storm men did...BUT now after reading Hyde's Absolution, "HOLY HYDE" I am fascinated by him. He is Bossy Possessive Broody and Sexy AF.
Hyde's Absolution is Intense! Utterly gritty and although some scenes may be disturbing it is relevant to this series, especially with King's book coming next! Great Characters! Great Writing! WOW just WOW!!

Every book in this series gets better and better. Hyde is a man tortured by his past and carries the guilt with him. Monroe is a strong, sassy woman who is looking for a man to seriously date her with a future. When she meets Hyde, she wants that with him but can he be the one? Hyde, turns out to be exactly what Monroe wants. Monroe is also exactly what Hyde needs, to give a light to the dark inside him. I Love The Storm MC Series. Gritty and dark but each man loves their woman hard. I recommend this book now

Hyde's Absolution was the fourth book in the Sydney Storm MC by Nina Levine.
Aiden "Hyde" McVeigh was the tough, mysterious and hard member of the Sydney Storm. Who knew he had a wife and child? They were kept a secret from everyone. They obviously weren't in the present, but he kept tabs on them as an important part of his life. The protector from afar.
Monroe Lee was a beautiful, fiesty, snarky and independent red head. She was introduced to us in previous books as the fun cousin to Tatum, book two, Nitro.
Hyde and Monroe had common friends where they were running into each other from time to time. They were attracted but neither wanted to push it or even start anything. But they both loved the snarky banter between them and that they could each keep up with the other. Levine continued to cross their paths while letting us get to know them as individuals.
I loved Hyde as a father. He was uber alpha and tough, but his daughter brought a sensitive vibe to him that we would have never seen otherwise. He was a good father once he had the opportunity to be one.
Although I totally loved Hyde and Monroe as a couple, I was conflicted on the direction of the story. No need for spoilers, but there were a couple of directions the story could have gone. There wasn't any cheating or abuse, but my safe friends won't like it from the premise alone. Again, no spoilers, so no elaboration from me.
The MC's conflicts provided a great suspenseful back story that kept the book interesting while watching the relationship build between Hyde and Monroe. True to the series to date, the MC back story will carry over into the rest of the series as a consistent theme. I was confused at times because it had been awhile since I read the previous book in the series, but it still added depth and dimension. For those that haven't read the book yet, do a quick refresher of Devil's Vengeance so the story flows well.
All in all, it was well written, well developed, enjoyable and entertaining. King's story is up next. Levine left us with a pretty big cliff hanger as a teaser and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us now!

REVIEW
This is book four in this WICKEDLY HOT series and it's all about Hyde. I would suggest you begin this journey with book one in this series however I am sure they are all stand-alone.
Hyde is the VP of Sydney Storm MC and he has a huge anger issue. Could it be because of his past?
Along his rode to redemption with the daughter he left behind he also finds solace within Monroe's arms.
She is a Red Haired Firecracker.
The one thing you will learn about these Alpha Males is that there are women who can melt their hearts and mend their pasts.
This book is explosive, gripping and downright marvelous! And nothing is good when King' world is turning upside also.
I absolutely love this series and can not wait for the next Alpha Male' story!

There is something about the Alphas Nina writes that gives me a severe case of insta love & lust, within the first few pages I knew no matter what Hyde did I was going to love him and I did. I loved this messed up bad boy hard! This book had me laughing, smiling and even some crying towards the end! Monroe was one badass babe too, possibly one of the dirtiest storm chicks so far and my favourite! When I started reading Hyde's Absolution I had no clue how it was going to all play out, at this stage the book didn't have a blurb and honestly it really took me by surprise. I knew Hyde was keeping secrets but the depth and the way they affected him really came to light it was eye opening to finally get to know him and needless to say there were parts where I was absolutely devastated for him. Monroe was definitely easy to love, she was sassy as hell and she wasn't afraid to go after what she wanted! Loved the banter between these two as well, they had some great chemistry and are perfectly suited to each other! It's no secret I'm a huge Nina Levine fan girl and this may be my favourite book by Nina so far! I'm am so freaking pumped for the next in the series, the anticipation is high!

I fell hard for Hyde....Nina Levine at her best
Where on earth do I start. I have read everyone of Nina's Storm novels, both the original ones and Sydney Storm, but HYDE'S ABSOLUTION, OMG, this is Nina at her utmost best!!!! I have been waiting for Hyde's story, followed Nina with her little sneaky peaks, but this was so much more than I ever expected. Nina has definitely kicked goals, and hit home runs with HYDE'S ABSOLUTION.
Aiden "Hyde" McVeigh is one HOT HOT HOT alpha male, strongminded, stubborn, filthy mouthed, Bossy (with a capital B) and most of all he has the biggest heart. Torn from his family years prior, Hyde has a lot of "making up to do". Along the way he becomes totally enchanted by a hot, sexy sassy little vixen, who totally charms her way into his heart. She's no stand-over and that's just the way he likes her.
As well as dealing with family and this sassy little woman, Hyde still has to deal with all the usual club issues - which are getting worse as the series goes on. As usual he likes to deal with things in his own unique way - fists are a lot stronger and get more response than words do. King, Devil, Nitro and Kick are all featured in Hyde's story, and it's so good to see them all together again - oh how I have missed these magnificent men!!!!
If you love Nina's Storm and Sydney Storm Series, you definitely cannot miss out on reading this one. After reading this one, I can definitely understand why Nina has rated it her favourite - Hyde most certainly has climb his way to the top of my tree.
Prepare yourself for a few tears, laughs and a lot of hot saucy interludes along the way. A few drinks certainly won't go astray either, neither will the chocolate!!!! Absolutely magnificent Nina Levine. I simply cannot wait for the next book, KING'S WRATH - his story is the one I really need the most.
Read and reviewed For Reading Is Our Satisfaction.
FIVE STARS all the way - but it was worth so much more.

If you love Nina's Storm and Sydney Storm Series, you definitely cannot miss out on reading this one. After reading this one, I can definitely understand why Nina has rated it her favourite - Hyde most certainly has climb his way to the top of my tree.
Prepare yourself for a few tears, laughs and a lot of hot saucy interludes along the way. A few drinks certainly won't go astray either, neither will the chocolate!!!! Absolutely magnificent Nina Levine. I simply cannot wait for the next book, KING'S WRATH - his story is the one I really need the most.
Read and reviewed For Reading Is Our Satisfaction.
FIVE STARS all the way - but it was worth so much more.

“My rage controlled me. I wanted to inflict as much pain as I could. Misery and blood fueled me. To cause it and to see it. I wanted to inhale his pain. I wanted to draw it into my soul and breathe through it. All I lived for right then was his torment. It would match my own raging storm.”
“Every part of me fell under his spell as he consumed me. There was no turning back from this.”
Boy oh boy do I love the biker romances that Nina Levine writes. Nina Levine gives us stories that only hit the ground running, but aren’t afraid to be alpha, intense and at times gritty. Yes, she pulls out all the stops and leaves us begging and pleading for more.
Told from dual points of view, Hyde’s Absolution follows the story of Hyde and Monroe. Now, I don’t know about you guys, but I have been waiting on pins and needles for Hyde’s story. And his story was worth the wait. Hyde is anything but perfect. He’s done things he’s not proud of and made some big mistakes along the way. Things aren’t always what they seem and Hyde has always been taking care of what is his….Monroe is looking for love in all the wrong places and the moment she decides to give up, Hyde enters her life. He is bossy, possessive, the total bad boy package. He is the total opposite of what she normally goes for, but she can’t stay away. She’s drawn to him like a moth to a flame. It takes a special woman to hang with the men that Nina Levine creates and all I’m gonna is say is that Monroe definitely gives as good as she gets.
Hyde’s Absolution is a fast paced and exciting read. The story sucks you in from the very first page and has you burning quickly through the pages. From the characters to the story-line to the oh so sexy moments, this book has it all. With twists and turns and danger along the way, Hyde’s Absolution is not to be missed!

You now when you have great expectations for a book and you pray it lives up to it well Hyde's story did that and so much more for me.
Nina absolutely knocked Hyde's book out of the ball park. From the very start I was hooked and drawn into his story. For me this book had a different feel from Nina's normal writing style and that's not a bad thing if anything it's amazing I felt she had poured so much more emotion into it.
I've always loved her characters that are the dark horses of her books because they have that element of mystery and my god Hyde had it in spades. He was mysterious broody loyal and had a mouth that would make you want to sin.
But he also had a lot of emotional turmoil issues that he struggled with and that's what had me drawn into his story,I wanted to see how he battled his demons and who would stand by him while he did.
And my god Nina picked the perfect heroine to have his back. I'm not going to say who the heroine is just incase like me you didn't read the blurb because you wanted that element of surprise, but what I will say is the heroine is strong loyal loved wholeheartedly when it's earned and would give any biker a run for there money with her dirty mouth.
I loved everything about this book and it's definitely one of my top 5 reads of this year. I honestly recommend this book to everyone it deserves so much more than 5 stars for me but unfortunately it doesn't allow us to rate higher than 5 so if you are on the fence whether to 1 click this do your self a favour get off the fence and get one clicking you won't regret it. Congrats Nina Levine on another amazing book .

I loved Hyde’s Absolution. This is Nina Levine writing at her best. I have been following the Storm series since the beginning. Although, you can read each book as a standalone it is just better to read all the books in this series so that you get to know all these HOT Alpha men! Nina Levine has a way of painting a picture with her words and her descriptions are so good that you can see the strengths and weaknesses of her characters.
Hyde’s Absolution is Aiden McVeigh & Monroe Lee’s story. Aiden was given the name of Hyde because of his Jekyl/Hyde behavior. These strong men need strong women and Monroe Lee fits that bill. Because even though Hyde is a strong alpha male type even he has weak moments and Monroe helps to lift him up.
I Love this book! I love Nina Levine’s writing! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. I give Hyde’s Absolution 5 stars and I can’t wait for King’s story. Fortunately he is up next.

ab·so·lu·tion ˌabsəˈl(y)o͞oSH(ə)n/Submit, noun, formal release from guilt, obligation, or punishment. Synonyms: forgiveness, mercy...
Nina Levine is a favorite author of mine, she won me over with the first MC Romance of hers that I read. Every new release is like Christmas for me, no matter what month it is. Turning each page is like unwrapping a present. I'm always surprised and thrilled with what's inside.
Hyde was given his road name because of his tendencies towards Jekyll/Hyde behavior. That's not always a bad thing, his club has come to depend on his skills, and sometimes all it takes is a nod from his president to let his 'Hyde' loose to take care of some club business. But he wasn't always that way. As I was taken on a journey into his past, it became clear that it was a learned behavior that eventually became part of him. My heart hurt for him and I was outraged at the players involved in the process. As his life unraveled, he kept it to himself. Suffering alone. He watched. He waited. He regretted. He wished for a do-over that would never happen. And then... his past came to light, forcing him to face his regrets and answer for his actions. Is there a chance that he will find absolution?
Get ready for another exciting ride as Sydney Storm MC deals with an ongoing war that threatens their club and their loved ones. The suspense is intense and the passion even more so. I couldn't read fast enough, or slow enough. I know, I'm greedy. I want more, and at the same time I don't want it to end. And I'm thrilled to say, it's not over. The author left me with a tease that will have me panting for more until I have another gift to unwrap. The line forms here...

It's so hot here in the UK... I now know why!!!!!!!! The Sydney Storm have rolled into town and took over!
WOW WOW WOW what a dark horse Hyde was!!!!
I think throughout the series Hyde has stood in the background we find out here why.
Hyde has a lot going on. Storm are facing an enemy they don't know. The club is in turmoil. He also has other issues though that need his attention. His past.
Monroe is getting despondent at the dating scene. She's seen her best friend find the love of her life and that's what she wants but she's picky and has a long list of requirements. She's looking for a good man, the good guy definitely no bikers...
When things get heated between them Monroe fights it. She doesn't want casual and she knows that's all she'd get from a biker...
I don't know where to begin with this fabulous addition to the Storm series. I'd go as far as to say storyline wise this was probably my fave.
This book had a feeling of family all the way through. From Hydes past to the club to Monroe. I felt it. I felt the angst and the hurt and the pain and the need and the love and hope and the happiness i freaking felt it all. Like you do with your family. The whole book was emotion packed. Honestly a massive roller coaster ride has got nothing on this!!
Poor Hyde chooses to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. No, maybe not chooses, it's the way he is. Although not all was his fault, some of it was and he bore that burden and it made me absolutely fall for him. Not many men will admit when they're wrong but Hyde? He did. He did and then he would do whatever it took to fix it. My fave fix would be his having a lady lunch but hey!! he's flipping hotter than a well used barbie!!! who wouldn't!!! I can't express enough love for this filthy biker he's by no means perfect but his flaws absolutely make you love him as much as his perfections. Let me tell you he had plenty of those!
I knew Monroe would be a fave and i was right. Her crazy ramblings surprisingly made sense!! lol I loved her and her patience and rationalism with Hyde. Which to be honest he returned. He was relentless in his chase but Monroe put up a good counter attack but only for show. I loved the dynamics of their relationship they fit perfect!! Also Monroe's family were a real bonus and a little light relief.
My fave part which is going to sound really bleeding odd but i love a bit of realism in a story and this part was. She got a period!!! She actually had a period and wouldn't have sex!!! YES!! I mean come on girls we all sit there reading these books thinking "christ do these girls ever have periods?" Well the answer is YES lmao Brilliant!! Other things were done which was fab!! Thank you Nina for giving us girls a laugh at our own expense!
The way the story was told made the book seem much shorter than it was because i was so engrossed, time slipped by and before i knew it the end was in sight. Not only did this book deal with Hyde and Monroe but club business was getting pretty intense. It was weaved in there carrying on the whole storyline from Relent to now. Another thing i love about this series is the continuing storyline! It keeps it tight and i have no idea how Nina basically writes one storyline for the series and individual ones for the members and their girls at the same time!! She's a writing genius!!
*Gasping Face* Now... What an end!!! OMG what the what now? My jaw literally hit the floor!! WHAT?!?!?!
I cannot wait for King! We get 2 books with him!! Give me him!!! Pretty please!!!
Brilliant, compelling, exciting, scary, emotional, tense just ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! LOVED IT!!
Bring on King!!

Eu comecei a leitura em dúvida sobre o herói baseado em resenhas que li.
Eu já me imaginei não gostando dele.
Daí eu comecei a leitura meio incerta já que esta autora é uma das minha favoritas.
Mas a história me fisgou e eu queria saber das motivações do herói ao abandonar uma família que ele dizia amar e que ele continuou ajudando e acompanhando de longe durante longos 14 anos.
Ele ajudou a ex esposa e o novo marido dela em tempos de necessidade e viu a filha dele crescer e chamar outro homem de papai. Fazendo tudo isso anonimamente e sem elas saberem que estava vivo para protege-las do perigo.
Ele forjou a própria morte porque o antigo chefe dele ameaçou a família dele e ele se viu sem alternativas.
Quando ele descobre que a vida delas não está mais perfeita como ele imaginava ele resolve ir pessoalmente ver o que está acontecendo e resolver tudo.
Choque, incredulidade, revolta, traição. Todos estes sentimentos são despertados com a volta dele e a descoberta da falsa morte. A ex esposa fica revoltada e a filha adolescente se sente abandonada e traída.
Um coquetel explosivo adicionado a todo perigo que vem rondando o clube.
Nosso herói tem um temperamento explosivo e o pavio curto. Daí vem o road name Hyde do "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde".
Ele vem de um lar problemático com uma mãe alcoólatra e viciada em drogas e ele enfrenta problemas com álcool.
Já imaginaram ele com King que é famoso pelo temperamento instável e a situação se torna mais volátil.
Daí adicionamos nossa heroína Monroe a qual tem uma personalidade e temperamento que combina com o cabelo vermelho dela.
No final a história me conquistou e fiquei torcendo pelo herói achar o ponto de equilíbrio dele.
A heroína também me conquistou com suas listas e a necessidade de estar no comando.
Recomendo a leitura e estou ansiosa pela próxima história.

Then I started reading a little uncertain as this author is one of my favorites.
But the story got me hooked and I wanted to know the motivations of the hero to abandon a family he claimed to love and he continued helping and accompanying by far during long 14 years.
He helped the ex-wife and her new husband in times of need and see his daughter grow up and call another man Dad. Doing all of this anonymously and without them knowing he was alive to protect them from danger.
He faked his own death because his old boss threatened his family and he saw no alternative.
When he learns that their lives are no longer perfect as he imagined he resolves to go see what's going on and fix everything.
Shock, disbelief, anger, betrayal. All these feelings are awakened with his return and the discovery of the false death. The ex wife gets angry and teenage daughter feels abandoned and betrayed.
An explosive cocktail added to any danger that comes around the Club.
Our hero has a quick temper and a short fuse. Hence the road name Hyde of "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde".
He comes from a troubled home with an alcoholic mother and drug addict and faces problems with alcohol.
Can you imagine him with King that is famous for unstable temperament and the situation becomes more volatile.
Then we add our heroine Monroe which has a personality and temperament that matches her red hair.
In the end the story won me over and I was rooting for the hero to find his balance point.
Heroine also won me over with her lists and the need to be in charge.
I recommend reading and I'm looking forward to the next story.

This is the fourth book in the Sydney Storm MC series and it was fantastic. I am a huge fan of this author’s MC series and I am continually surprised how she creates these alpha males to all be different with strong personalities and how the women that love them can bring the light to their dark lives.
Hyde has been a character that I have wondered about in previous books. He’s broody and has a very short temper. Once the story begins and gives us Hyde’s background it all starts to make sense. He was married to his high school sweetheart and soon had a baby. He was involved with a man that he trusted that turned out to set him up in something that caused his family to be put in danger. He had a choice, stage your death and go away or your family will be harmed. He of course chose to stage his death and live without his family. A decision that haunts him daily. His daughter was only two at the time he left.
Fast forward 14 years and Hyde is dealing with his guilt that he lives with, the problems within the club, trying to find out who is behind murdering one of his brothers. What he doesn’t need is having to go to Melbourne to deal with his ex-wife and 16-year-old daughter because there is trouble brewing. He has had an investigator keeping tabs on them, making sure they are taken care of and to alert Hyde of any problems. What Hyde isn’t looking forward to is revealing to his family that he is alive. He also is dealing with the strong pull he has to a sassy redhead!
I have been so excited for Monroe to hook up with one of the Sydney Storm guys. She is feisty, has a smart mouth with a quick wit and she has a heart of gold. She is also hilarious. Her family is also hilarious! She has a list of what she is looking for in a man and Hyde definitely ticks off quite a few boxes, but she really doesn’t want to get involved with the broody biker. Well, maybe for just one night. What they both didn’t expect was that they were going to have chemical bliss while together.
This is such a great story with action, family drama, dealings within the MC, Hyde and Monroe navigating their new relationship among family drama. I don’t want to tell you anymore as you really need to read and experience this roller coaster ride for yourself.
If love MC romance like I do, give this series a try. Due to the interwoven story, it’s best to read them in order.

Holy smokes. Nina Levine definitely gave her all with Hyde's Absolution. I truly think this could be her best to date and I am now firmly in love with not only Hyde himself but the woman who becomes his all: the fiery and delightful Monroe. I had a feeling about these two after some heated stares in Devil's Vengeance yet no one, not even themselves could have predicted just how important they would become to one another.
The biker with a fierce temper and the hopeless romantic. Doesn't actually lend itself to the love of the century, but somehow they fit. He bosses her around and doesn't take no for an answer, and she let's it roll off her back and gives him an argument anyway. Their playful banter truly kept me smiling and was the needed distraction to all the horrific violence plaguing the Storm MC. I was constantly amazed at how Hyde could juggle so much in his life with a family no one knew existed, Club troubles and his unexpected attraction to the feisty Monroe. But it was Monroe who finds her way into his crazy world and seems to be able to put it back on its axis, even if it's not always completely correct. Their attraction is undeniable and in the midst of all the chaos are some smoking hot sex scenes that only a man like Hyde can deliver. The author continues to write some insanely alpha males as the members of Storm, and with each new story we get that testosterone rush like we've never seen prior.
Of course the other members of the MC are present and accounted for with King as Prez at the center of more than one chapter since his story will be next. His relationship with Hyde is important and I really enjoyed their back and forth with very few words used. There are some powerful passages and plenty of violence to satisfy those die-hard MC fans.
Charlie was a definite highlight and her scenes with Hyde were both touching and comical. We see a side of Hyde that perhaps he never wanted shown but together with Monroe, there is no way not to fall for him, faults and all.
A must read for fans of the author and this fantastic series. I thoroughly enjoyed and cannot wait for more.
5 huge stars!!

Their attraction is undeniable and in the midst of all the chaos are some smoking hot sex scenes that only a man like Hyde can deliver. The author continues to write some insanely alpha males as the members of Storm, and with each new story we get that testosterone rush like we've never seen prior.
Of course the other members of the MC are present and accounted for with King as Prez at the center of more than one chapter since his story will be next. His relationship with Hyde is important and I really enjoyed their back and forth with very few words used. There are some powerful passages and plenty of violence to satisfy those die-hard MC fans.
Charlie was a definite highlight and her scenes with Hyde were both touching and comical. We see a side of Hyde that perhaps he never wanted shown but together with Monroe, there is no way not to fall for him, faults and all.
A must read for fans of the author and this fantastic series. I thoroughly enjoyed and cannot wait for more.
5 huge stars!!

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Hyde's Absolution is the fourth book in the Sydney Storm MC Series.
I have read all of the books in this series, and along the way there have been a few hints about Hyde's past. Those hints have left me more than curious about this man, so I have been waiting (not so patiently) for his book. I am glad to say that the wait was so worth it!
Oh Hyde, how I love him! He is an alpha male who likes to growl. His life has been far from easy. As this story develops, you will feel all the turmoil this poor man has gone through. Now, don't get me wrong. Hyde is no angel. He has done his fair share of bad things, but when it comes to his family and his club, he will do whatever it takes to keep them happy and safe. Monroe is downright hilarious! She is a woman who knows what she wants, and she is not afraid to speak her mind. What will happen when these two equally strong people come together?
Gah! I was so happy to be reunited with the boys from Storm! As always, Nina Levine has crafted a story that will keep you guessing as to what will happen next! There is danger, there is suspense, and there is sex-hot and dirty sex. And the ending of this book? It is sure to leave picking your jaw up off the floor and asking yourself if that really happened! I really loved this book, and I can't wait for the next book which is King's Wrath. Kudos to Nina Levine for another great story!

Hyde (Aiden) found himself forced to do something that would have an effect on how he lives his life. Walking away from his family to protect them led Hyde to King and the rest of the MC and put his life on the path it's now on. When he finds out something's not right with his family, Aidee's protective instincts come out in full force and he's left with no choice but to face his past fourteen years after walking away.
This book has plenty of going on. I don't want to say too much because I went in to this story knowing nothing and I enjoyed it all the more because of that. The female character in this book is really easy to like. She's strong minded, sassy and knows exactly what she wants and makes no bones about laying it all out there. The chemistry between them is off the charts but it's the sweeter moments that won me over.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was such a refreshing change. Two mature adults who aren't into drama or playing mind games and still managed to keep me hooked. The main characters have a maturity about them, they're not out for the drama and the relationship between Aiden and Charlie had me swooning so hard over him.
With the MC coming under threat, King and the boys are taking hit after hit and this book starts setting the tone ready for his story. I'm so desperate for Kings story, I already love him and can't wait to delve into his character a little deeper. I just know his story is gonna be addictive and so bloody epic, I honestly can't wait for it!

Well holy crap!!! Hyde is one growly alpha that has so much going on in his personal life and his mc life. He is one dark individual but has an extremely sweet side that he doesn't show just anybody.
Every book has secrets that come out and this one isn't any different. What comes from those secrets is totally mind boggling. There's times I want to slap one of the characters and you will definitely know who I'm talking about when you read it. I mean for the love of Pete what were you thinking??? UGH!!!
The way that Hyde is with Monroe is totally swoon worthy. *sigh* Monroe can hold her own with Hyde and she does on many occasions. She stands up for herself and trips every button that Hyde has. Hyde is ticking off the boxes of the man that Monroe wants with BIG check marks. Monroe knows when to push and when to pull back. She's the one that he can be vulnerable with and show her who he truly is.
Did I mention that Hyde is a growly alpha man? Hmm... I think I did but it bears repeating. *wink* I mean for the love of Pete the way that he handles Monroe....uh huh, yep, *sigh*
Loved that Hyde had people in his corner that would fight for him when he needed it. That they would do whatever it took for him to know that they were there to have his back when he needed it the most.
Oh boy, the way that this one ended....eep!!! Can't wait for the next one!!!

Brilliant! Absolutely wonderful! Hyde's Absolution by Nina Levine is one of her best works to date. She is an evil genius (but in a good way). She creates pure magic when she writes.
Hyde and Monroe are amazing characters. I was thrilled when I started their story. Hyde is the ultimate alpha bad boy. He will melt your heart right along with yoyr panties. His sexy bossy ways are fun to read. His darkness will suck you into the story so fast. Monroe is the perfect woman for him. She is feisty , strong, and is not afaird to voice her wants and needs. She owns her sexuality and to me that is a rarity in either a man or a woman. Together they find something unique and amazing. This was a five star read from page one. Can't wait for the next Storm book .

Nina Levine takes us back to the Sydney Storm Chapter and from page one you will feel all the Angst and the turmoil that goes on in the life of Hyde.
Hyde is a man that has gone through life just trying to navigate a way to survive. He has done and seen things that no one should but when it comes to people who are important to him he will do whatever is necessary.
Monroe is a woman that knows what she wants and what she doesn't. She has a list of wants and needs but when Hyde comes into her life that list is thrown out the window.
With his gruffness and her Sass you will see two very strong willed people come off the pages and see what struggles they will have to overcome. There will be many ups and downs between family, club business and just life but what you know is that you will be cheering them on and hope they can overcome it all.

I'm not sure what to say other than this is by far my favorite Storm MC book to date. Nina knocked it out of the park with Hyde and Monroe. When we first met Monroe in a previous book I thought for sure her and King were going to be together. And then when I started to read this book I thought for sure Hyde was going to end back up with his first love. Guess I should have read the blurb, but honestly I'm glad I was caught surprised. It enhanced the book for me. That being said...holy crap that ending! I can't wait for Kings book, but I think I'm gonna have to do a re-read of Hyde's first because I loved this book so freaking much!

I dont even know where to begin, the feels this book gave me omg. Nina Levine really nailed it with this book. I have loved all The Storm boys, but Hyde's story is by far my favorite. I loved Hyde so much, he was strong, hard, loyal, a man who would do anything to keep the people he loved safe, a man you should not mess with, but he was also a broken man. I also love the females characters in this book, such strong woman. All the other Storm boys are back, and as like all of Nina's books there are a lot of twists and turns but one thing is for sure, those Storm boys will always have each others backs. Nina thankyou for sharing this story and I cant wait to read Kings story next.

I have been hooked on Nina Levine for almost two years. I love that she feeds my addiction to hot bossy alpha males who put their everything into loving their strong women. Hyde did not disappoint with these standards. This man stole a piece of my heart. Monroe (I just totally love this name for a girl.) is just an amazing strong woman who accepted Hyde's past and his demons. I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars because it was absolutely amazing. I can't wait for the next book.
