Tansy Bonheur survived the worst treatment a human being could be subjected to. After being rescued from the decaying, rat-infested cell she was caged in, Tansy hopes that this will be the end of her suffering. But a quick turn of events makes her realize that her reoccurring nightmares are the least of her problems.
Kittredge Calliope fell in love with Tansy the first moment he set his eyes on her. Unfortunately for him, Tansy recoils every time he tries to speak to her. When an attack on one of Glory MC’s members forces the club to evacuate the clubhouse, Kitt must get Tansy to safety. But not even being in the embrace of Glory MC’s sergeant at arms can protect Tansy from the people out to get her.
In this dangerous, ruthless world, will their newfound love be enough to bring a hardened biker to his knees and turn a timid girl into the survivor she needs to be?

I received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntarily, honest review of it.
‘Nirvana’ is the third book in the ‘Glory MC’ series. I would really recommend that you read the first two books of this series before reading this book. It will make it easier to understand certain things in the story.
Tansy Bonheur already made a little appearance in the first book and a bigger one in the second book of this series. In ‘Origin’ she was rescued by the guys of the Glory MC. Although we didn’t get to read her story than, you could tell that she had suffered terribly in the hands of the Phantoms, the enemy of Glory MC.
Because of what she went through, Tansy finds it hard to trust men. But with the help of the women of Glory MC, Tansy is slowly feeling safer around them. Kattredge ‘Kitt’ Calliope was there when Tansy was discovered in that cage, one look was enough to be fascinated by her. Sadly, Tansy is terrified of men and especially of him. But then through circumstances Tansy has to be evacuated and although Kitt is ordered to take her back to her father, Tansy doesn’t want to go home. So Kitt brings her to the only safe house that he knows off, namely his house. First, Tansy is terrified by what happened and the fact that she’s now alone with Kitt, the man who makes her feel all kind of things. But the more time they spend together the more they are growing closer together but things in the ‘outside’ world are getting worse and worse. A big war is brewing between the wards and the enemies of Glory MC are working together to get to them. One of them is Tansy’s father, the man that betrayed her! But that’s not the only worry that Tansy and Kitt have. Tansy discovers something that will turn her whole world around, something that could change Kitt’s mind about her and his feelings. And Kitt is keeping a big secret from his MC brothers, something that he hopes that they never find out.
Kitt and Tansy will have to make some difficult decisions about their future. A future that’s very unsure with people and friends dying and getting hurt around them. Can love really overcome everything? Or are some things just too hard to overcome?
Origin (the second book) ended with a little bit of cliffhanger so I was really curious about what would happen next with the members of Glory MC. The beginning of the book was a little bit of a surprise to me. I didn’t expect how the story continued but in a good way.
First, I want to say that I liked the story between Tansy and Kitt. Although this is a series about alpha men who are part of a MC club, Ana Jolene always makes sure that her men show their soft and patient side to their women. That was also the case with Kitt, he really was there for Tansy, no matter what! And after everything that Tansy went through, she became stronger throughout the story. Something that I really liked. The story was told from both POV’s. Something that I really liked and needed in this story.
But….. I had hope that after three books we would know more about this dystopian world but that’s not the case. In this book we didn’t get any new or more information about this ‘new’ world or how some things worked. And that gave me mixed feelings about this story.
Nirvana is a good story but I missed some depth in it.
Tansy has been through hell. She lived in purgatory and Armageddon was nipping at her heels along with the rats. We meet Tansy in the Glory briefly, but in Origin we get to see something that turns her world upside down. Now, we get to see her slowly move back in to life with the help of the Glory MCs and their women. This read was intense, intriguing, enduring, with all the elements of mystery, suspense, action, drama, and an urban fantasy, to set it all up. The Ward wars continue and this time the hit real close to home and Tansy has to trust a man with her safety. Kit.
Kit strong, sexy, patient, huge. There was that something about Tansy when he first saw her that captured his attention. He would move the world to keep her safe. He would be patient for her to get use to him and his ways. He would do whatever it took to make her feel safe and whole again.
Nirvana was just missing that something to take it over the top to being a full five star reading. I do like this series very much. I love how that each new book builds on the one previous but provides us with a new couple to fall in love with. I am looking forward to see what grows from the next installment. I have so much hopes for more of the Glory MC to find love and evolve further. I do highly recommend for complete comprehension of the world around them to read each of the previous books. Preferably in order.
My god, the horrors Tansy has been put through. How is she even sane after that hell? And at the hands of her own father? Kitt’s perfect for her. He’s infinitely patient as she finds herself again. It’s so touching to watch this big, bad, biker man take care of her.
Nirvana is intense. The war in Ward 4 continues with everyone, especially Tansy, at great risk. Kitt and Tansy’s budding love is slow to take off and challenged my many internal and external forces. The best and worst characters from the previous books are back. All aspects that kept my interest every page from start to ending.
I’m still confused about Knuckle and hope there’s at least one more book to fill me in on more of the Glory MC story.
Glad I was able to be apart of the ARC group for this book! I have to say that I never read the other two books that came before it. This book gave me a reason to read two more books!!! nothing wrong with that. I have to say that I did love this book the whole time I am reading I a hoping for love to take all. I love a alpha that will be bad ass but at the same time know how to show that he is not ice cold all the way through. I will be telling my friends to read not only this book but the two that come before as well.
"Nirvana" by Ana Jolene is a captivating and emotionally charged romance novel that explores themes of self-discovery, healing, and the transformative power of love, immersing readers in a beautiful and poignant journey.
NIRVANA ripped my heart out and sewed it back together! I never thought that this book would be as emotional as it was, but reading Tansy’s story really broke my heart. She’s such a timid girl, but has been through so much. I really just wanted to see her get a happily-ever-after and Ana Jolene delivered it in an amazing way! I was so happy to see her with Kitt that I couldn’t help but cheer her on. Tansy has really become my favorite character of this series.
Speaking of favorites, Kitt turned out to be one big softie. Contrary to the tatted up street fighter image he has, Kitt was incredibly kind and gentle to Tansy and that was exactly what she needed after all the terrible things that has happened to her. She needed a biker that she could trust and Kitt’s gentle actions eventually made her do that. Their moments together are so romantic and touching that I really couldn’t ask for more. Their romance was perfectly done!
In addition to the amazing romance, there are a lot of other things going on in the club. It’s best to read it yourself, but I was really surprised by some of the things that happen in this book. It shows that Ana Jolene isn’t afraid of putting her characters through tough times. It’s fun to see characters betraying others because in the biker world, nothing ever seems like what it is. The twists are shocking and I am desperate to jump into the next book. Luckily, RESURRECTION is Beck’s book and he’s another biker that I’m obsessed with. I can’t wait to read it!
Don’t wait to experience the world of Ana Jolene’s Glory MC series. Rife with romance and chaos, this is a series that will definitely keep you flipping the pages until your desperate for more!
