BOOK REVIEW, EXCERPT and GIVEAWAY: STORM (STORM MC #1) by NINA LEVINE

November 28, 2013

Release Date: 26th November 2013

Synopsis

Life can be a bitch but love can get you through any storm.

Madison Cole’s family is the Storm Motorcycle Club. Her father is the President and her brother is the VP. She grew up surrounded by bikers, crime and violence. Two years ago she walked away from her family and the world they live in. Her soul was shattered, her heart was broken and she had an addiction she couldn’t shake. She picked up the pieces and put herself back together. Now her family wants her back. The club is being threatened and they send a club member to return her home to safety; the one person that could destroy everything she has worked so hard to build.

Jason Reilly has sacrificed a lot for the motorcycle club he calls family. Two years ago he made the biggest sacrifice of all; he gave up the woman he loved for them. Now he is being sent to bring her back and he is conflicted. He thought he was over her but discovers their connection is as strong as ever. Their love was all-consuming, passionate and fiery. It was also their undoing and he doesn’t know if either of them is strong enough to battle the demons that ripped them apart, to find love again. 

Madison and Jason are brought back together by a force out of their control; one that pushes them to a breaking point. Can they overcome their past and discover a love worth fighting for or will the harsh reality of their world finally and completely break them both?


REVIEWED BY ELLEN:
If you love fast-paced, sex-fueled, tattooed biker books, Storm is for you! We meet Madison, the daughter of the MC President, who has tried to break away from club life after having her heart broken by Jason aka “J” several years before. A series of violent events have led J back to Madison in an effort to keep her safe and bring her back into the Club. Of course, Madison fights his efforts but their chemistry is undeniable and J will do anything to try to make her understand why he walked away. This book is filled with loads of graphic, hot sex scenes and lots of action. I would have loved a little more background on J and Madison’s relationship but overall, Storm is a good, fast-paced debut novel from Nina Levine and I look forward to reading more of the Storm MC stories!

Excerpt

I grabbed my
purse and headed outside to go and buy lunch. 
J was on the phone, but saw me come outside and signalled for me to
wait.
“I’m going to
buy lunch, J.  And I only get an hour so
I don’t have time to wait for you,” I said, tersely.  He kept talking and scowled at me.  I turned and started to walk away from him,
towards the cafe where I always bought lunch.
I could hear
him muttering something into the phone and then he must have ended his call
because he went silent.  Then, he barked,
“Madison!”
The last thing
I wanted to do was stop for him, but there was something in his tone; a ‘don’t
fuck with me’ command.  So I stopped, and
turned around to look at him.  Oh,
my.  He was shitty. 
He stalked to
where I was and got in my face.  “Why the
fuck do you have to be so difficult about this?” He was fuming.
Well, I could
see him, and raise him in his anger. 
“Maybe it has something to do with the way Scott has gone about
this.  And the fact that he sent you!”
He
flinched.  It was only for a second, and
most people wouldn’t have even noticed it. 
But I knew J, and I saw it.  It
surprised the fuck out of me.  “Well
then, it looks like we’ve got some shit to sort out, babe, because I’m not
going anywhere.”
“I don’t want
to sort shit out with you.  That ship
sailed two fucking years ago, J,” I spat.
He gripped my
arm, pulling me closer, “No, it fucking didn’t,” he growled, eyes blazing, “And
you can’t deny there’s still something here. 
I feel it and I know you feel it too.”
I laughed.  No, actually, I cackled.  “You wanna fuck, J?  I can feel that, and, yeah, if you wanna go there, I’m all for it.  But don’t mistake my desire for your cock for
anything else.”

Excerpt

Fuck, she wasn’t
going to make this easy for either of us. 
I was convinced that Scott was handing me my balls on a plate by sending
me here.  One look at Madison and I
wanted to shove them at her and get the fuck out of here.  Christ, she was still as goddamn sexy as the
last time I laid eyes on her.  I ran my
eyes down her body and took in the low-cut, short dress and fuck me heels; god
I loved those shoes and my dick twitched just thinking about wrapping those
legs around me.

“Can we talk
outside for a minute?” I asked.

She pursed her
lips and appeared to be assessing the situation before she gave me a curt nod
and said, “Fine.”  And with that she grabbed
her purse, brushed past me and stalked towards the front door.  I watched her ass sway as I followed her out
and told my dick to settle the fuck down. 
No way were we going there again; I was here for one reason and one
reason only.

Once we were
outside she reached into her purse and pulled out a cigarette.  She quickly lit it and took a long drag.  God, I hoped she was still sober; last I had
heard she was and she looked pretty healthy but the way she sucked on that
cigarette looked like a junkie fixing for their next hit.

“Scott told you
I was coming, yeah?” I asked, taking in the glare she had levelled on me.  Yep, balls on a plate.

“No,” she
snapped, “He said someone was coming but he failed to mention it was you.”  She looked like she was going to say
something else but took another long drag on her cigarette instead.

“Well, you’ve
got me until he pulls me back home so I say we make the best of a shitty
situation and put our crap aside.”

She took
another long drag on her cigarette, threw it down and ground it out before
scowling at me, “You’re a fucking asshole, J and for all I care you can go
to hell.”

BOOK BLITZ and EXCERPT: WITHSTANDING ME (BREAKNECK SERIES) by CRYSTAL SPEARS

September 9, 2013

Amazon Buy Link




Blurb:

While the chaos and bloodshed have
slowed for a short period, life is never quiet in the world of Breakneck. The
club is taking time to regroup from internal betrayal and the changing of the
guard in a rival group.

Zig Zag became a father at the age
of thirteen. While raising a child has never been easy, now his eighteen year
old daughter Tatiana makes his life downright hard. She has caught the eye of
Travis, the new President of the rival MC Gunners, but all she really wants is
Shadow, the newest addition to the Breakneck family. When Shadow’s rejection
sends Tatiana running from the only family, home, and safety she’s ever known,
ZZ is crazy with worry. The distraction caused by Tatiana’s disappearance could
prove to be Zig Zag’s downfall.
If that isn’t enough, ZZ finds
himself rampantly attracted to the one and only Storm. She’s beautiful, quick
and witty. Their friendship is the one thing that keeps him from growing crazy,
and Storm stands by ZZ through all the turmoil. Zig Zag is not accustomed to hearing
the word no, so Storm’s constant withstanding just draws him in deeper. Their
friendship is one thing keeping him from going crazy, until one night…
The club is regrouping and
rebuilding from the mayhem known as the Russian Mafia. A hit is ordered on Tatiana,
Storm, Winter, and Piper.
Tatiana’s egg donor reveals secrets
that a thirteen year old Zig Zag was too young to understand.
Braxxon is out of reach while he
helps Greg Cage deal with some dirty business.
Bloodshed… Secrets… Betrayal…
Trauma… Welcome back to the Breakneck world.

Excerpt:

It’s been two fuckin weeks since Mira stopped by the damn clubhouse wanting to talk to my daughter. What gives her the fucking right? She left me to raise a child at the age of thirteen, and eighteen years later, she thinks she can magically return into Tatiana’s life? Yeah, that’s right; I’m a thirty-one year old man with an eighteen-year-old daughter. Judge me bitches. I don’t give a shit. I admit I’m sitting at Club Sated and getting wasted off my ass over this shit. Why am I here, and not at Breakneck? Well, there’s plenty of naked pussy around, and when any man is upset and feeling down, he wants to be around pussy. Don’t let any of them lie to you. But there’s this one bitch here that I want and for the first time in my life, a bitch doesn’t want me back. I don’t see what the big deal is. I just wanna take her home and fuck the shit outta her. Hell, we don’t even have to leave the club. I can fuck her right here. I’m sure Winter and Braxxon wouldn’t give a shit, but then again, they just might because the bitch my cock is aching for is their manager Storm. And shit do I wanna ride that Storm. 

Storm is just another piece of ass, but for some reason, something about this woman fascinates me. She’s a fucking young buck too. She’s Winter’s age, only twenty two. That’s literally only four years older than my own daughter is. You would think that alone would detour my cock, but it doesn’t.
