My Secret Romance Book Reviews: Release Day Blitz: Illusive By Nina Levine

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 or will Griff's demons dictate their future?

I am going to be straight up here. I wasn’t sure if I even wanted to read a book about Griff; I obviously understand he did what did for a reason in the previous books but I just never got that OMG I must read his book feel. Well I was so very, very wrong to ever feel that way because let me tell you something. I FUCKING LOVE GRIFF! I should have never doubted Ms. Levine’s vision because not only is Griff tough, he is smoking hot, a sexy alpha Dom, but he is also a sweetheart. Shh don’t let that part get out because he may come after me if it does.

Griff’s past isn’t a pretty one, but he has not only found his family in Storm, he is loyal to them period. He has secrets from before, ones that once you know the reason behind them are understandable. I felt so many emotions when I read of Griff’s past, including anger, sadness, and the need for revenge. Griff is far from perfect, he is an asshole, but he is so much more.

Sophia’s past isn’t pretty either. She made me want to just hug her and tell her she is loved. She needed someone like Griff in her life. Mind you it took a while for him to open his eyes to see that he needed a Sophia in his just as much. Gotta love stubborn men. Sophia was sweet, sassy, and the perfect match for Griff.

I really do love how we get to see the couple from the past and that their stories aren’t finished yet. I really do like knowing that just because a book has ended that the story hasn’t. In real life, our lives don’t end after so many chapters, it continues on until the day we die, even after that. And that is why I love this series, because it shows that relationships aren’t easy, that life can change our relationships, both for the better or for the worse but if you have a strong partner that you can get through anything. I can’t wait for the next Storm book to release, because this is one series that continues to stay strong.

His strokes were slow and rhythmic, designed to work a woman to a crazed state. I should know because he was slowly taking me there. He didn’t want me to come yet, but that was getting harder and harder with each new round of pleasure. Each time a wave crashed over me, my muscles threatened to let my body collapse onto the bed. I wasn’t sure how much longer I could hold myself up. And not to reach out and touch him? That was a whole other level of how-the-fuck-will-I-make-it-through-this? He pushed another finger inside so I now had two delivering me heaven. I writhed under his touch, my muscles seriously beginning to tire. My eyes squeezed close and my fingers curled into a ball, wanting desperately to cling to something, but unable to latch onto anything the way they were tied. The orgasm that continually tried to shatter me, moved dangerously close until it reached the point where I thought I could no longer fight it. “Griff, I can’t…I can’t do this anymore.” I panted as my muscles gave way and my body dropped to the bed. His fingers left me, and in what felt like a split second, he had me flipped onto my stomach, and he’d moved so his knees were on the bed, either side of my legs. One of his hands landed on the bed beside me while he placed the other one on my back. He growled into my ear, “Do you know what happens when you don’t obey me, Sophia?” My breathing had turned into pants and my muscles were screaming at me, all while my pussy pulsed with need. “No,” I managed to get out, even though I struggled to form a thought while my mind tried to deal with all my senses at once. “When you don’t do as I say, I get to punish you, in any way I want.”
