    One of the best things about Nina Levine’s writing is that no matter how much you think you know about a character, there are still many more surprises waiting for you. I’ve known for several books now that Griff had secrets that he guarded closely, but I was thrown for a loop when his real story came to light. Griff turned out to be far more complex than I imagined, keeping me captivated as Nina Levine unraveled this man. Sophia is the kind of character you just have to care about, her warm and forgiving personality the ideal counterbalance to Griff’s illusive and distant nature. Illusive is another fantastic book in the Storm MC Series, continuing the unpredictable and chaotic journey of the club and reminding us of all the couples we’ve fallen in love with along the way. Griff and Sophia have a unique dynamic, unlike any of the previous couples in the series. Opposites in many ways, they proved to be two sides of the same coin. I enjoyed experiencing their personal growth as they helped free each other from the baggage of their pasts. Both have histories that must be faced and they certainly give each other the necessary push to move on and go forward. Although he didn’t speak much, Griff’s beautiful and sweet words made me swoon, while Sophia’s incessant babble kept me grinning. Together, these two were incredibly entertaining. Nina Levine wrote a sizzling chemistry between this couple that had them pushing their personal boundaries and relinquishing control to one another. Griff and Sophia’s relentless flirting, delicious dirty talk, and steam-inducing moments balanced their undeniably intense emotional connection, making their relationship feel genuine and whole. As always, Nina Levine is driving me crazy with the overarching club storyline. Just when I finally get some answers, she hits me with something new that leaves me desperate for the next book in the series. The club dynamics are just so addictive that I can’t seem to ever get enough. I devoured Illusive, desperate to see where things were headed after Slay. Illusive was well paced, demonstrating equal parts intense, gripping club business and passionate, emotional relationship issues. I loved the cameos of characters from Nina’s spinoff series as well as the return of all my favorite Storm men. Nina Levine really captured the feeling of family with this book, not just within Storm, but with Griff, Sophia, Josie, and Magan as well. Illusive was hot, engaging, and emotionally raw, proving yet again how well Nina can dish out a biker book boyfriend! Bring on Command!

    Giff is my new favorite Storm man. He's hot, sexy, alpha, and very dominate in and out of the bedroom. When Giff joined the Storm MC he fully embraced it and made them his family. But now his past is going to put that in jeopardy. When Storm finds out his huge secret can they forgive it and look past it or will Giff lose the family he chose? Meet Sophia a sweet caring woman whose had crap luck in her life but doesn't allow it to affect her. She's very open and easy to love. Can Giff get over his burn from a old flame or will he hold Sophia at arms length? Illusive is a very action packed story that shows more of the inner workings of the Storm MC. Giff has many interactions with the members and readers get a very good look into how Storm operates without Marcus. This Storm under Scott is a force to be reckoned with. Once again Nina Levine has written a awesome story that I coulsdn't put down. Once you 1-click be prepared to read Illusive in one sitting.

    I have loved these Storm men from the beginning. I didn't think there was a book to wreck more than Slay did. But this book here just about killed me. I hated Griff I was so mad at the end of Revive. By the end of Slay I wanted more. This book has me questioning my loyalty to my two favorite Storm men Kick and Havoc. Each book just gets more emotional. #GriffsSweetheart
