[Jen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have definitely fallen in love with this new MC series that I have decided to give a try. I am so glad that I did. As you know, the first book was an ok read for me, although I did love Jason and Madison who were the main couple in it. Then as I continued on to book two, I was immediately hooked when Scott and Harlow starred in that book! "Blaze" is a novella (so I guess we can call it Book 2.5!)that takes us back into J and Madison's relationship, and treats us to more depth into who they are as a couple. I loved every minute of it. One of the things that stood out for me in this novella was that it showed a very realistic side to their relationship. It wasn't all "happily ever after" for them, and they had some very real issues to work through in this book. Their love for each other survived some very hard times, and it just showed us readers exactly how strong J and Madison's love for each actually is. Oh, and let us not forget "Make-up sex!!!!" There was some very H.A.W.T. scenes!! LOL No disappointment in that department!!

It is rare that I rate a novella a full five stars because they are often too short to pack a real punch. This is where Nina Levine has done an amazing job at making it seem like this was a full length read, and without cramming in so much that you feel overwhelmed. I can't express enough how I have thoroughly enjoyed this series so far. With so many MC books out there, it isn't easy for authors to create a series that stands out about the others. I can honestly say though, that the Storm MC series is in my top faves as far as the MC series go. I will follow it to the end, as not only are the main couples drawing me back in; but there are a ton of the secondary characters who I can't wait to learn more about, as well as watch them fall in love!

The author explained at the end of Book two how she would include novella's in the series sporadically. These novellas would give us more of the origional couples that we have fallen in love with, and show us a glimpse of the couple's life even after their main books were done. I personally love that idea, and "Blaze" proved to me that the Novella's will be more than worth taking the time to read them while waiting for the next installment to come out.

I am happy to say that I am moving onward to Book #3 right away! It is also rare for me to devour a series all at once, but I am finding that I can't seem to put this one down! As you have probably guessed, this is a series that I highly recommend!!!

Continuation of the couple from book 1

[Judy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Blaze is a continuation of J and Madison's story. The relationship between Madison's father (MC prez) and J deteriorates and we find how low her father really is. I didn't think he could get much lower than where he was at when Fierce ended, but I was wrong. J and Madison have to continue to fight to keep their relationship strong and it is a bumpy road for a while. This time around it is J that makes the road bumpy. There is a HEA and I'm sure we are going to see the dastardly demon president again in the next book. This book is a novella and while it was an interesting read, I could have been very satisfied just waiting until the next book. Nothing happened in this book that fired me up or made me stop and think.

[Emma · Rating 4 out of 5]

This novella is a continuation of J and Madison's relationship within the Storm MC. Theirs I adored Storm by Nina Levine so I had high hopes with Fierce and just had to read it straight away.
Scott and Harlow meet in the most unexpected of places and then keep meeting each other, it seems fate wants them to get together but Scott isn't interested in that, as VP of Storm MC he has no time for dating.
Harlow is the most quiet and unassuming lady, but Scott keeps pushing her buttons and they inevitably hit a boiling point!!
Their road isn't an easy one, with bikers hell bent on vengeance, family drama and Harlow's lack of a job all against them will they get their happy ever after or not??

awwwwwe, Such a nice follow up novella for Madison and J. They are still my most fave couple of this series and I seriously can't get enough of them. I love how J takes care of Madison. That's probably my favorite thing about him, but that dirty mouth isn't too shabby either, lol. I love how they stick by each other no matter what, and of course I'm so glad how it all ended, I just hope in the future we will get another sneak peek , even if it's just another bonus chapter at the end of another book. I totally <3 them!!

Jason and Madi have returned for an encore!!! This novella gives you a flashback to how it all began for this couple.
We are now swiftly transported to the present day. Will Madison and J be able to overcome the lies, fears and obstacles that are thrown at them. Is it possible for this powerhouse couple to find everlasting love when universe seems against them??
A great wrap up for all the loose ends!!!!

It's a continuation of the badass biker love story that gives you a chance to experience the beginning of J and Madison's romance, as well as certain obstacles, and secrets that threaten their relationship and test their love. Loved it, such an amazing book will definitely recommend it.

First time writing a review, please forgive my mistakes and I hope you'll find it helpful.

Okay so this just keeps on getting better!! I am not usually a fan of series that spin of to other characters in each book. The way Nina writes allows the books to flow into each other effortlessly. This was another great read :)

J and Madisons story was already told in book 1, but it continues.
With a flash back to the beginning, which makes sense when the place they are going comes back in this story from time to time.

J is holding something from Madison since he was sent away for 2 months by her father. Madison is worried and tries to keep her distance instead of nagging him about it.
It takes some time and finally he opens up with her, he didn't want it, because it would make her father look even worse. But luckily for him Madison trusts him and not her father who has been lying a lot lately.

I like the way this book tells some more about those two and how they work out their differences together, backed by their family who do care about them.

Another great MC story, looking forward to read more in this series.

[Sally · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really quick read focussing on J & Madison, I’m invested in these characters now and can’t wait to read about Nash in the next book. Highly recommend reading the series in order especially with the ongoing storyline surrounding Madisons father

Small novel

This was a quick one but it also looks like the pres to is a piece of work there going to have to get rid of.

[Twin Sisters Rockin' Book Reviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall Rating: 4 Rockin’ ★★★★

Madison and Jason are back in this steamy hot novella, Blaze (Storm MC 2.5) by Nina Levine. The story begins with a flashback to Madison's 23rd birthday and the powerful love that had ignited between the couple. J and Madison are good friends and the thought of taking their relationship to the next level causes Madison to put the brakes on. She doesn't want to lose him because he is too important to her. J tries to explain that she is the only one for him.

Present day, J has returned from his "club" duties and exile only to distant himself once again from Madison. His orders from Marcus have left him in a precarious situation - he feels trapped. He continues to pull away from Madison not wanting to hurt her, but in the process he does. Will the secret of what J did while away rip the couple apart? Does Madison and J get their happily ever after ending? Read this book to find out.

Overall, this is a quick read that you will not want to put down! I really enjoy the Storm MC series and highly recommend it. I can't wait to read Nash's story next! Great job, Nina! ~TSRBR

I missed my J, "frustration crossed his face. "Really?" he asked, impatiently. "Can't you just text them? Cause I've gotta tell you, my di**k's been hard for you for a long effing time and I don't want to waste time effing about looking for your friends." He's very vocal about his feelings, "he cut into my thoughts," Baby, the way you're looking at me is making me so effing hard. I like your eyes on me but I'd effing kill to have your mouth on me." I mean no one will take his woman away from him, "you've no effing idea, sweetheart," he growled, "After you have my co**, I'm going to treat you to my mouth. And I promise you, no effer will ever separate us again." I loved being inside his head, "I'll be as long as it takes. And you won't complain if you want more of what I gave you this morning." Christ, she had me by the effing balls. She'd given me the best goddamn head job this morning and I effing needed more of that sh**." I'm glad we had this novella for J and Maddie, I really missed them.

OMG, I thought for sure I had written reviews for these book, darn it ... Sorry about that Nina. Each of Nina's books a jammed packed full of biker hot dudes. For me, it made me think of SOA. This for me is the biker series that started it all, there are so many ladies who have written such great biker series, but for me Nina will always be the one I look back on with such fondness, which might be a weird word to use??!! She gives it her Auzie kick for sure, she is Australasian (is that spelled right, doesn't look right??!) ... did u know that? Love her accent. Lots of wordie dirty words, if you are okay with that, then so worries but wanted to say it out there just in case? I read these books, the series probably 2 to 3 years ago, could have swore I reviewed them at the time ... I could re-read them to figure my fave ... they are extreme, intents, hot, steamy, love this series!! When I have more time from my other books on my TBR I might re-read them. ( ;

4 I'M A BIKER BED-BUNNY STARS

This book had me realise two things:

1) I totally love this series and this book, this was my maiden voyage into the world of the 1,5, 2.5's novella in the series book, as I've never bothered reading them before. It totally left me fulfilled and sated. It involved all three couples from previous books and didn't leave you gagging for more like other short stories do, it just left me thinking mmmm I love this series I want to read another ( I'm thinking this in a smiley dreamy voice )

2) After every book I'm in love with the hero, Jason, Scott, and after reading the last chapter in this book, Nash, there is only one conclusion I can come to and it's a bitter pill to taste, but I clearly am nothing but a STORM SHAGSTRESS STRUMPET SLUT

Next one please

[Romance and Fantasy for Cosmopolitan Girls · Rating 4 out of 5]

Romance and Fantasy for Cosmopolitan Girls


Il racconto breve è un compendio al primo romanzo della serie, TEMPESTA, che ha come scopo quello di approfondire alcuni aspetti del carattere dei protagonisti Madison e Jason. Tornati insieme dopo una lunga separazione (Jason aveva lasciato Madison in seguito ai suoi problemi con l’alcol e lei era andata via da Brisbane lasciando la famiglia e il gruppo degli STORM MC), i due sembrano aver ritrovato l’armonia dei primi tempi. Fin dall’inizio il loro rapporto è stato scoppiettante e caldo, proprio come le loro personalità. Nonostante ne abbiano passate tante, la loro relazione è ancor vulnerabile. Qualcuno molto vicino vuole a tutti i costi distruggere la loro felicità, duramente conquistata tramando alle loro spalle.
Al ritorno da una missione per conto del club, Jason non è più lo stesso. Madison avverte subito il cambiamento ma non riuscendo ad avere le risposte giuste alle sue domande, arriva alla conclusione sbagliata.


La mia sveglia suonò alle sette e. quando mi allungai per raggiungere J, rimasi delusa nel trovare vuota la sua parte del letto. Una sensazione di inquietudine mi colpì allo stomaco. J amava il sesso mattutino, ma ora non lo facevamo da settimane. Se si aggiungeva il fatto che facevamo sesso un giorno sì e uno no, ero leggermente preoccupata.

L’intera famiglia viene messa in allarme, così come gli amici più stretti e tutti quanti si adoperano per scoprire la verità e rassicurare la ragazza.
Dopo una vita trascorsa a rincorrersi, lasciarsi, riprendersi, la coppia ha bisogno di raggiungere la stabilità duratura, una volta per tutte. Madison vuole di più ma teme che la sua idea di amore eterno non coincida con quella di Jason. E il fatto che lui sia taciturno e distante non aiuta, anzi, le fa temere addirittura che il loro rapporto sia giunto al punto di non ritorno.

Presi un lungo respiro e realizzai che non avrebbe perdere, quindi iniziai a parlare: «Si tratta di J. Non è più se stesso, e non sono sicura di come gestirlo.»

I personaggi creati dalla penna disinvolta di Nina Levine sono davvero belli, perfetti perché pieni di contraddizioni. Madison ha dimostrato una ferrea forza di volontà, dopo essere caduta nel baratro dell’alcolismo, infatti, ha avuto la fortuna di trovare sostegno nelle persone giuste e negli amici riuscendo alla fine a risalire la china. Ora è una donna sicura e capace di gestire nel modo giusto i problemi sorti in famiglia. Jason, d’altro canto, è il vero biker, di poche parole e molta azione. È affascinante e sa di piacere, ma le donne e il sesso casuale passano in secondo piano scomparendo definitivamente appena si innamora di Madison.
Jason, come membro del club, è fedele al gruppo che considera la sua famiglia, non mette in discussione il capo e accetta i compiti che li vengono dati senza discutere per il bene degli STORM MC. Dietro la corazza da duro, però, si cela un uomo vero, capace di provare sentimenti profondi e avere principi incrollabili.


Jason vive una situazione strana, sa di poter contare sulla sua donna, perché la conosce bene ed è consapevole della forza del sentimento che lei nutre nei suoi confronti. (Insieme ne hanno passate tante e sempre insieme hanno combattuto e superato ogni difficoltà incontrata.) Sono rimasti separati a lungo, ma è bastato rivedersi perché si riaccendesse in loro la scintilla di un amore solo assopito nel tempo ma mai dimenticato. Questa volta però il problema è serio, si tratta della famiglia e di ciò che rappresenta per Madison. Jason ha le idee chiare in proposito ma sa anche che rivelarle significherebbe far soffrire la persona amata. Madison potrebbe reagire male e lui non vuole deluderla.

Volevo andare a casa, volevo stare con Madison più di ogni altra cazzo di cosa al mondo, ma non riuscivo a farlo. Tutto era cambiato, io ero cambiato. E non sapevo se lei avrebbe accettato questi cambiamenti. E non saperlo mi stava facendo diventare pazzo. Mi stava portando a fare cose che non avevo mai fatto.

Di fronte alla reticenza del suo uomo, Madison reagisce con pacata comprensione e pur non nascondendo la propria preoccupazione, gli resta accanto perché lo ama. La situazione contingente e il mutismo di Jason, però, mettono a dura prova la sua pazienza, tuttavia la determinazione e l’amore sono granitici e la sorreggono nel momento critico. La cosa importante per lei è che Jason capisca di non essere solo.


ARDENTE è la novella basata sui buoni principi, in cui la lealtà e il dovere sono protagonisti di una storia che vede l’esaltazione dell’amicizia fraterna e profonda. Molte sono le scene di sesso e il linguaggio spinto rispecchia alla perfezione la realtà di un club di motociclisti. La lettura risulta gradevole e anche se breve il racconto convince. Il trionfo finale dell’amore mette tutti d’accordo e mentre si concludono le vicende della coppia Jason/Madison, si aprono quelle della nuova formata da Nash e Serena. I presupposti di una buona storia ci sono, non vediamo l’ora di leggerla.
Consigliato!

Was a bit hesitant to read this one as Madison and J aren't ones I could connect with from their original story BUT I loved this one on them...It REALLY showed how much they both had matured, not only in themselves but their relationship.
I could finally see why everyone loves Madison in this one and J was his usual alpha self.
Got to see how despicable her father truly is and look forward to his demise.
Overall a nice short addition to the series BUT I of course would have liked it to have been longer!
