Tornado is forced to leave Cat the love of his life, by her ruthless father. Five years later she comes to him for help and they both realize that their feelings have not changed. They both know that they are going to have to face her father if they have chance of forever.
I loved this novella it’s short, sweet, spicy and it also packs a punch.

I always look forward to Harper's novellas! Tornado was short, sweet and sexy. I love a good friends to lovers storyline, and Harper nailed it. The spicy scenes had me swooning, I love love 😭. I cannot wait to read book 2, Brick.

Favorite Quotes:

"All that matters is right here beneath me, this woman, this incredible, beautiful woman. Her blonde hair is spread out on the cushion, and she looks up at me with heat in her blue eyes."

"My knight. My knight in shining armor. He would slay all my dragons for me if he could."

Thank you Nisha's Books and Coffee, and Harper Michaels for allowing me to read an eARC for Tornado.

4,5 rounded up to 5 stars because of Elsie. She had only a few scenes time but I could tell she was so bright and I really wish she got her own book in this series 🤞🏻

This is the 3rd novella I read from Harper Michaels and I think I have got hooked. Two previous novellas I have read and this one were not only light reading but entertaining to read. I am always amazed by how such a short book can still contain a good flow of story. Thumbs up to Harper Michaels for sure!

This book is about Tornado and Catherine. Super sweet and super cute. Their love story was a good cleansing palate for me.

The MC side of the story was really mild but I think it would continue to the next book(s) of this series. Can't wait to read them all.

Thank you to Harper Michaels and Nisha's Books & Coffee PR for the ARC.

Tornado and Cat are childhood friends, who discover to being in love with each other in their late teens. Then Tornado is forced to leave by Cat’s father, without the girl knowing anything about it.
But she does not give up, and even though she doesn’t understand why her best friend left her without saying a word, years after she runs away from her family to find him and asking for help, since her father wants her to marry a man she doesn’t love.
They both discover their feelings for each other have not changed, and they fight for their relationship. No spoilers now!
I really enjoyed this novella. It is short, but places, characters, and the whole story are well described, and this makes you want to read it until the end.
I think is a good start for a series. If you love motorcycles, protective men, and happy endings, this one is recommended.

One thing I love is a well written novella! This author was able to lay out the whole story of Tornado and Catherine in less than 70 pages. This novella starts us off at the moment when the MMC realizes he sees his best friend as something more and the FMC feels the same way. As usual the universe has other plans for them and separates them before they can fully explore these feelings. An unexpected event brings them back together but… are the feelings still there? This is a very well written story that provides all the necessary information in a concise manner that doesn’t feel rushed. If you want a fast paced, second chance romance, with found family and a motorcycle club. This is definitely the book for you!

Thank you so much to Harper and Nisha’s books and Coffee for the copy of this book! All thoughts and opinions are my own💜💜

I received this as an ARC. This was a very quick, but good read. It’s introducing this MC series. Cat and Tornado or Tor as she calls him go way back. On the night of the eighteenth birthday they were supposed to be together to consumate their relationship but he disappeared. Years later she finally finds out where he is and needs his help. If she goes to him will he help her or turn her away? I’m looking forward to reading more about the Silver Snakes. (The MC featured)

Tornado is a sweet novella that goes straight to the heart, a story of lost childhood love finding its second chance. Tor & Cat are utterly adorable, their pining tender & their need for each other undeniable. Love shines brightly, wrapped in the warmth of brotherhood, camaraderie, & loyalty. Sweet, simple, & beautifully easy to enjoy.

[Nicole M · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an introduction to the Silver Snakes MC! I think Cat and Tor are absolutely adorable from a precious first kiss to a steamy first time. Childhood best friends/forbidden love/first love/second chance. This one has it all. As much as I enjoyed their story, I enjoyed the side characters as well. I can't wait to get more of Elsie, Lucky, Silver, Brick, and all of the rest.

New series

This is book one to a new series, Silver Snakes MC. It's all about family. The one you choose and who chooses you back. Strength, loyalty, and trusting of each other is the motto. Having each other's back is a rule. I loved book one with Tornado and Cat and to see how love wins, your chosen family fights for you, and how together you can conquer all.

Harper never disappoints! Tornado’s story is what every girl fantasizes about from a MC man. Leaving to protect his love, dropping everything when she comes back into his life, HEA… totally on point and love it!

Love this book and can't wait for the next book in the series and would recommend it to anyone who loves to read about MC life and their families and friends 🧡 and Harper Michaels is an awesome writer ❤️

[Atlanta Ehnert · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was good, follow Cat and Tor as they find eachother again. I love the found family for both of them inside the Silver Snakes. I feel for Cat and not being loved by her parents. I just wish this book was longer. If you enjoy second chance love stories this one will be a quick read for you.

I love me a novella and this one did not disappoint! Tor and Cat are too cute, I love their connection and how Tor saved himself for Cat. I felt sad for Cat for how her father treated her. Thank you Harper for this ARC and I can’t wait for the next book.
