Nash

The Skulls #3

by Sam Crescent

The biggest mistake he’s ever made could get him killed.

The Skulls have a set of rules, and Nash has broken one of them. He’s using drugs. Since Sophia rejected him, Nash has been spiraling out of control. When he puts Eva’s life in danger it’s up to Nash’s brother Lash to save him from himself.

Sophia never realized the protection The Skulls provided her until she was attacked. Lash saved her but with an ultimatum. She helps save his brother, or he makes it known she’s not under Skull protection.

Sophia’s feelings for Nash have always been her weakness. As she keeps her word to his brother, trying to help Nash overcome his addiction, the two of them grow closer through his pain, and Sophia realizes she cannot run any longer.

However, The Skulls’ enemies are numerous, and Nash’s careless behavior has exposed the whole club to danger. Someone is plotting against the club in the hope to take control of the town, and they’re going to start with Nash. Can he stay strong as his life and that of his woman are endangered, or will he relapse into the drugs?

Nash is book three in the sizzling Skulls series. This is the best book to date, and I just keep getting sucked into the world of bikers more and more! The Skulls are a tough, gritty bunch of guys, and they make no apologies for who they are. In their town, they rule and they also live by their own code. This installment is about Nash and Sophia, and I have to say that these two brought major steam to the table! What I really like about this series is that not only is there extremely hot sex; but the storylines are becoming more and more intense. Nash's book dealt with a heavy duty issue..His addiction to drugs. There is one major thing that is not acceptable with the club, and that is bringing drugs into the fold and using them. After Nash is rejected by Sophia, he begins to use drugs, and it doesn't take long for his addiction to spiral out of control. Once his brother figures out that Nash is using, he issues a threat to Sophia and demands that she help him detox. Nash's addiction isn't the only road block happening, and soon it is revealed that someone wants to destroy the Skulls and take over the town. In order to do that the enemies have targeted the clubs women, and when that happens the war has begun. The Skulls love their women way to much to take the threat lying down.

There is lots that happens in Book three, and there is never a dull moment. One thing I like about this series is not all of it is "La-dee-da-Happy!!" It is a series about a motorcycle club, therefore life doesn't always run smooth in the world of the Skulls. Also, the men may love their women tons; but they are not your average man. They are alphas to their core and they can come across as rough and gruff.

So far, Nash's book has been the hottest as far as the sex goes. Holy smoly; he is intense and there is not a gentle bone in his body! I loved the scenes between him and Sophia. They were kinky, sizzling, and down right raw! I was sad to have the story end, as I loved them as a couple!

This is a series that started off a bit slow for me; but I am so glad that I continued on with it. It is progressing wonderfully and I am sitting here waiting "impatiently" for Killer's book!! I can't wait to see what makes that guy tick..something tells me it is going to be one dark read! Sam Crescent is an author that is now on my radar. She has me hooked on her MC series and I'm dying to read any future books that she puts out! I am so glad that I took a chance! Next up is Tiny and Eva's book, and something tells me it is going to be one hell of a bumpy ride!

Eh, this book honestly just didn't do it for me. Majority of the time I was either bored to death



OR was waiting for something to happen that would make it interesting.



HOWEVER... The sex scenes were pretty hot



AND it was nice to see Nash clean himself up from the mess that he was in the beginning.

Gosh, I now can't wait for Tiny and Eva's story up next and then perhaps Killer and Kelsey. Can we have a Ghost story too?! Pretty please?! I feel bad for him to have unrequited love/affections for someone and not receive love back. How sad! :(

Hated this book but read it kinda like watching a car accident. You just can't look away. So the hero( not really a hero) likes Sophie but instead of trying to get to know her he sleeps with her sister so he can get closer to her. I mean really? He sleeps with her sister numerous times within ear shot of the girl he loves. Then he is also an addict. Wow not the escape I was looking for in this book.

2 WTF Stars

This book was a bit of a disaster as the brits says and left me kind of like this



The story line sounded really good from the blurb but end being such a disappoitment and it put me off big time.

First of all Nash really annoyed the sh!t out of me. He wanted Sophia but cause of his fucked up mind he was fucking her sister to be around her and blah, blah, blah.





Where the heck it's the whole shebang about a biker that if he wants a woman will do anything to have her and no one will stop him and blah, blah, blah. You know the whole biker speach.

Second - is a biker that weak who went thru so much shit with his club will start to take drugs only for this little thing????

Again



At this moment Nash

This series just keeps on getting better and better for me.Nash is an addict in danger of being kicked out of the Skulls.It takes a severe beating from Tiny and a tough detox program by Lash to help him fight his demons.Helping him thru his recovery is the heroine Sophia, who at first did not want anything to do with him because he used to f..k her sister.This book was more gritty and rougher than the previous ,but held my enjoyment.
Loving this series and a new character is introduced...Devil, the leader of the Chaos MC who comes to help out Tiny when he needs help.Do I see a spinoff in the works.
Next up is Tiny and Eva's story.

Re-read

First, do not read this book if you haven't read the other ones in this series prior. This series combines two motorcycle clubs (The Skulls and Chaos Bleeds) and you've got to read them in the author's suggested order to understand what's going on. Other important info regarding the author and series below.

Nash (biker, brother of Lash, slut) is the wild one amongst the Skulls. He also doesn't care where he dips his wick, just as long as it's warm and wet. His regular go-to-ho, Kate, has a sister that he falls in love with. He believes she's too sweet and innocent, so he continues to screw Kate for the sole purpose of getting to be near her sister. Sophia has lusted after her sister's f*ck-buddy for a while, but she could never be with someone her sister was with. When Sophia's sister dies of a drug overdose, Nash feels like he can finally let Sophia know his true feelings, but Sophia just can't move past their history and she rejects him.

The Skulls have few rules, a major one being no drugs. When Sophia pushes Nash away, he turns to drugs to numb his pain. When his habit nearly gets him kicked out of the MC, Lash tasks Sophia with getting his brother clean. There's some drama with another club trying to move into their territory and everyone's life is at risk.

This series is long and not well written. There are tons of typos and WTF moments. That said, it's still one of my favorite MC series. Also, I didn’t skim in any of these books.

Triggers SC never really goes that far in her description of violent moments. This is the exception. There is torture and rape in this series (this specific book does not have rape, though it comes close). The further we go into the series, the grittier it gets. My heart breaks several times in this series.

Finally, how many times can I use the word "series" in this review??

Puntuación 2.5/5

Me gustó fue más el drama del enemigo de los Skulls que la propia historia entre Nash y Sophia, él se acostaba con Kate, hermana de Sophia, sólo para estar cerca de ella porque la amaba??? Really 😤. <<
En el prólogo vemos un nuevo personaje, Snitch, al parecer él y su MC: The Darkness eran los que dominaban Fort Wills hasta que los Skulls tomaron el control, así que él decide regresar para recuperar el pueblo y vengarse de Tiny y su club. Crea un plan para ir a por las mujeres del club y planea comprar a los nuevos miembros de los Skulls, los que formaban parte de los Lions: Killer, Whizz y Time. Pero antes le pide a uno de sus hombres que contacte a un tal Gill.

Ya han pasado 4 meses de los sucesos al final del 2° libro: Murphy. Nash lleva ahora 2 meses siendo adicto, algo que ha tratado de ocultar al club, pero todos se han dado cuenta, cosa que su hermano Lash le recrimina amenazándolo con que dejé las drogas sino el mismo lo matará.
Sophia no sabía que Nash estaba pagando por su apartamento hasta que él dejó de pagarlo (debido a su adicción ya no tiene dinero), así que ahora tiene 2 trabajos para poder costearlo, como mesera y en una fábrica de cajas. El jefe de la fábrica la acosa constantemente debido a la reputación de su hermana Kate (fuck budy de Nash 🚫🚫🚫). Al salir del trabajo es acosada por otro empleado llamado Gill (el mismo que Snitch contactó), pero Lash llega a tiempo antes de que algo ocurra sólo para decirle que él sabe que algo pasó entre ella y Nash, que él ahora se droga y si ella no lo ayuda a que deje de drogarse entonces la matará.

Al regresar a su apartamento Sophia se encuentra con Nash, quien una vez más trata de que estén juntos pero ella lo rechaza debido a su hermana, Nash se va molesto y busca a su proveedor y se droga. En la tarde Sophia va a trabajar a la cafetería solo para encontrar a los Skulls y sus mujeres quienes celebran que Angel está embarazada. Lash la acorrala para preguntarle cómo le fue con Nash pero al darse cuenta que no hicieron las paces se enoja y regresa sus mesa. Un tiempo despues Nash entra a la cafetería y la insulta delante de todos diciéndole que de seguro es una zorra igual que su hermana, es más que obvio para todos que Nash está más que drogado.

1 semana después Nash vuelve a estar drogado y en un arrebato se enoja con Lash y saca su arma pero, por estar inestable casi mata a Eva, aunque ella fue salvada por Blaine. La situación hace que Tiny al fin se de cuenta de la adicción de Nash y le quita los privilegios del club, no si antes darle una golpiza dejándolo casi muerto hasta que Lash interviene para ser quien reciba el resto de la golpiza, para que de esa manera su hermano no sea sacado del club.

Mientras que Sophia tiene que seguir lidiando con el acoso de su jefe. Cuando se dirige a la cafetería es acosada por Gill quién intenta violarla con sus amigo, pero Lash la rescata de nuevo. Lash se la lleva a un almacén de los Skulls donde planean desintoxicar a Nash y le dice que debe cuidarlo y ayudarlo a mejorar a cambio de la protección del club. Mientras tanto vemos cómo Snitch se molesta porque los hombres que contrató (entre ellos Gill) atacaron a una mujer cercana a los Skulls y eso puede complicar sus planes de venganza contra Tiny y su club.

Durante un par de semanas Sophia cuida de Nash junto con alguno de los miembros del club, Nash es mantenido encadenado a una pared (obra de su hermano Lash 🤣), mientras se desintoxica. Luego un día dejan a Sophia y Nash solos y al fin logran estar juntos sólo para que a la mañana siguiente vengan los miembros del club a darle una paliza a Nash, al parecer para ser aceptado de nuevo tiene que pelear con cada uno de los miembros del club.
Al final aunque está todo golpeado aún se mantiene de pie y lo dejan de nuevo con Sophia en ese edificio, no sin antes de que Lash le diga que debido a sus acciones han tenido problemas con la entrega de drogas, creando problemas para el MC, así que, al parecer Tiny pedirá ayuda a los Chaos Bleeds MC. Mientras que esto ocurre Gill planea atacar a las mujeres de los Skulls.

Al día siguiente mientras Nash y Sophia esperan respuesta del club de si Nash seguirá siendo parte de los Skulls o no, llegan Lash y Murphy para decirles que llamaron a los Chaos Bleeds para que los ayuden, y además sus enemigos atacaron a las mujeres: Tate está en el hospital luego de que un carro la atropellara, ahí descubren que está embarazada pero ambos están estables, Eva fue atacada en el supermercado y está en coma, a Kelsey le dispararon en el brazo y Sandy fue apuñalada.
Al irse del edificio la camioneta donde viajaban es chocada y se llevan a Sophia y Nash, mientras Lash y Murphy están atrapados en la camioneta.
Nash y Sophia están encadenados en un almacén por Gill, además del antiguo jefe de Sophia y el proveedor de drogas de Nash. El ex jefe de Sophia solo quiere es violarla pero el que le daba las drogas a Nash le dice que hasta que no entreguen a Nash no pueden hacerles nada, a pesar de esto drogan a Sophia con heroína y a Nash lo golpean y apuchalan.

Por otra parte los Chaos Bleeds llegan al pueblo para ayudarlos y su presidente les pide ayuda para encontrar a una mujer con la que estuvo y quedó embarazada (esto da pie al primer libro de Chaos Bleeds MC: Devil's Charm), esto a cambio de ayudar a los Skulls, Tiny acepta, aunque a Lash no le gusta la idea de ellos en su pueblo especialmente después de que su presidente, Devil mostrara interés en Angel.
Justo antes de que el jefe de Sophia logre violarla llegan los Skulls y Chaos a salvarlos. Una vez liberado Nash asesina a Gill, su proveedor y al ex jefe de Sophia. Snitch, quién está escondido, ve todo esto y decide retirarse solo por ahora. Luego mientras todos están en el hospital Nash aprovecha la oportunidad de pedirle matrimonio a Sophia y ella acepta.

1 mes después Nash y Sophia viven juntos, él está totalmente de regreso con los Skulls y ella regresó a universidad, además descubren que están esperando su primer bebé 🤰🏽.

El epílogo es narrado por Tiny, él va a casa de Eva para al fin decirle que la convertirá en su old lady sólo para que ella le diga que dejará Fort Wills de una vez por todas y que su padre vendrá para llevarla de regreso a Las Vegas.

Welcome back to The Skulls family! They have their own rules, their own codes and unfortunately, Nash just broke one of the most sacred rule.

In this storyline, we see one of our favorite member falling from grace and the fight The Skulls have on their hands with the druggies who target their women. This book is emotional, even though less than for Murphy (personal opinion).

Even though I liked Sophia, I thought she changed way too quickly her mind about her feelings for Nash. I liked though that we saw her blossom. She was first an innocent woman grieving her lost (not nice) sister and then, she grew up to be a sensual, bloodthirsty woman.

Nash was really not nice in this book (at least, at the beginning). When he is on drugs, he is mean to everyone, even to the poor Sophia by calling her names. The cleaner he gets, the sweeter he is. We witness his struggle and we finally see a man who is afraid. Afraid of what he could have lost and afraid that no one could truly forgive him. But he is ready to fight back. And the least we can say is that Nash is very intense... and kinky!

[Erin · Rating 2 out of 5]

Two stars is being generous. This was just awful. The only reason I am giving it two stars is because for whatever reason, I am interested in these characters and what happens to them. This story and the main characters got on my nerves. The sex was graphic but felt very repetitive and like exactly the same thing happened in the first two books.

Unfortunately, these books are poorly written, poorly edited and ridiculously overpriced. $6 each. You have got to be kidding me. If I could read them for free, as I have the first 3 books in this series because I borrowed them from someone, then yes I would likely continue reading them. I might even pay 99 cents each for them because I am invested in the characters now. But at $6 each, I'm gonna have to say "no freakin way" to the rest of this series.

[Tori · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this one a little more then the first two because the hero isn't as big of a douche as his fellow brothers. He was very sweet to his heroine and did little things that showed her and us he not only loves her but respects her. The conflict is interesting in that Nash gets hooks on drugs and Sophia is blackmailed by his brother to help him detox. It gives them time to get through their issues. The conflict involving the MC was less structured and I was still unsure what was going on at the end.

One thing though, even if Sophia was a sweetie can't hurt a fly submissive woman...I would have twisted Lash's penis in a knot if he had talked to me the way he did her. He would have never done it twice.

4.3 stars.
Third book in the Skulls series and continuing really well.
This book started off a bit slower than the others, but then built to a powerful situation. The enemy to the Skulls seems to be invisible. The rules are being broken with horrible consequences. Everyone is on edge and the enemy thinks they are winning, but then the Skulls have powerful friends who will do anything to help with the situation. Keeping their town and their women safe is all the motivation they need to continue take on the threat.

4.5 stars. Wow, this book. Edward aka Nash. I am not a fan of that girl, see how much that I do not like her, can't remember her fricking name. Nash, loved him, but he was hurting, and yes it was her fault. Now Lash, what a brother took care of him regardless. Now Tiny, hmmm, Eve love her strength, her attitude, she was sweet, but she deserve more. Tiny better wake up, or Eve is going bye bye. Bravisimo to the author.

I enjoyed reading Nash's story. This story is a little more rough and very emotional. Nash is a druggie who thankfully has Lash as a brother who will and does whatever he can to get Nash clean. The club is in danger and Nash must prove himself ready to protect both the club and its women, his own included.

Nash - Book 3 - The Skulls - By Sam Crescent

This is the third book in The Skulls MC series and it features mainly around Nash and Sophia, but we do see points of view from other characters too. This is another well written story with strong characters accompanied by lots of heat and action and the camaraderie and again I'm delighted to say the female lead is plus sized which is wonderful to read. Edward "Nash" Myers has been a part of The Skulls MC as soon as he became of age. He has a life filled with family and the brotherhood of the club but what he doesn't have is Sophia. Her rejection sends him spiralling and he begins to use drugs one of the main club rules that are prohibited. His life, his way of life, his part within the brotherhood and his woman are all at risk from his actions and he is about to take on the toughest challenge of his life as he tries to get clean. Sophia Wright is so much stronger than even she realises, she can handle Nash and his lifestyle once she helps bring him back. They have a lot of history to overcome but also a future to fight for and build together. That however is not all that they have to worry about, another threat is targeting the club and it could destroy them all. I loved that we saw more of Lash and Angel together, and Tate and Murphy, Tiny who is definitely going to be having a headache or two to deal with and all of the other club members that all bring these stories and this club to life. I am also super excited to see more of Chaos Bleeds MC in their own series, Devil the club president, is definitely going to live up to his name. Another great addition to an amazing series I am desperately waiting to find out what happens next! Happy Reading.

This was hard core. Nash aka Edward made a big mistake. No drugs. That is one of the rules with the Skulls. He broke that and used Kate to be close to Sophia, Kate’s sister. Kate was nothing and her death caused more damage then he could possibly imagine. He was going to have to win back the trust of the club and along with his brother and Sophia. Sophia was nothing like her sister. She wasn’t a club whore and even though she was in love with Nash, he kept him at arms length. I can understand why. These two seem so broken. Yes, Nash did things the wrong way and then spiraled down but Sophia was never far from his heart. The retribution he had to go through was brutal. He did deserve it. As many times as we are told Sophia is too sweet and innocent, she was bold. She was definitely a fighter and I am glad of it. These two were in for a ride. When an unknown enemy comes to town to remove the Skulls all heck breaks loose. We need more women like Tate in the club. I love Angel but she is so much softer then Tate or even Eva. When Tiny finally woke up Eva was leaving.

Nash is book three in the Skulls MC series and is Nash and Sophia’s story. I enjoyed this book and liked the growing tension and passion between Nash and Sophia. My heart broke for Sophia and the way Nash spoke to her/about her at times. But at the same time, I understood that he was on drugs and he didn’t mean what he said. I liked that Sophia stuck by Nash and was determined to help get him clean. I wanted to shout at Nash to open his eyes and stop taking the drugs! I could see his love for Sophia and was rooting for them to be together!
The danger in this book kept me on the edge of my seat and couldn’t wait to see what would happen. I cannot wait to read more books from this series.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and a gripping read.

[Simplistic · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sam has a way of telling a story. I really like her books as far as the storyline. It's the grammar issues, that is the problem. She really needs a new editor, as the one she has doesn't do the job right. Maybe Evernight Publishing doesn't care. I thought it would get better but it doesn't, And Ms. Cresecnt deserves better, I would love to read one of her stories without having to struggle through it to figure out what she is trying to say. It just takes away from the story to have to see misplaced words or missing words.To say that I was surprised Sophia didn't go for the morning after pill after being shot up with heroine was surprising, as there is a chance the baby will be addicted. All in all the story line was good.

[Lindsay · Rating 2 out of 5]

Definatly not my favourite trope to read about. There's only been a couple books where being intimate with another sibling actually worked out. I just couldn't wrap my head around Nash's thinking....I mean there are other ways to try to stay in contact with a possible love interest besides for f*king their sister....i mean why not try texting her or something??? *sigh* The women in this series are way too forgiving! I really didn't like Lash's attitude either. I can understand you being concerned but you basically bullied an innocent woman, who had nothing to do with making your weaker younger brother take the drugs in the first place, into getting him clean or killing her. At one point I was almost rooting for Zero and Sophia to get together....

[Dragoness · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was okay, I expected something more I guess. I wish Kate wasn't killed off just to make things easier for Sophia and Nash but I guess it was easier to introduce the drug plot this way.
It was interesting to see how similar yet different Lash and Nash are. They both fell, in lust more than love, with women some time ago but they went about it differently. Lash gave up on sleeping with other women while he waited for Angel, and got himself checked up to make sure he wouldn't pass her any STD. Nash on the other hand kept sleeping with Kate and soon after her death thought coast was clear I guess.
