Vivi
For the first time in my life, I’m with the family I choose.
Living with my cousin, who happens to be a newlywed, is the best thing ever.
There is one pesky downside, and his name is Lucas Clark.
He’s a spoiled rich boy who was put on this Earth to torture me.
He thinks he can intimidate me, keep me in my place, but I have news for him. No way is he man enough.
And it’s annoying. Like, why do his eyes follow me everywhere? Why do I lose all self-control, seeking him out whenever we share the same space?
I should be running in the opposite direction, right?
His words are harsh, hostile. Until one night, the hostility is replaced by a kiss that almost set us on fire.
Luke
She’s a tiny ball of energy. Every bitter and combative word out of her mouth is aimed at me.
My family thinks I walk on water, so I could use any excuse to stay away from her.
She’s nothing more than a man-hating shrew wrapped up in a beautiful package.
Those dark eyes of hers? I see them everywhere.
Her red lips? They beg to be kissed.
And one night, I do. I finally get a taste, but it’s not enough. I want more.
She says she hates me.
I’m used to getting what I want, and what I want is to prove to Vivi that hate is the last thing on her mind when it comes to me.

Really enjoying the series so far, but there is just something that's keeping it from jumping up to 4 Stars for me.

STORY:
This is my second book by the author and 3rd book in the series. JD, love you and all, but I needed to read Luke’s story ASAP, sorry. P.S: you still fine as hell. Book 2 is about JD, Jake’s best friend from book 1. Luke is Jake’s younger brother.
After reading both books, it’s the story telling that gets you. The author has a way of conveying the story to you like you are there and apart of this family. She has a way of connecting all these characters without confusing you which is fulfilling while making you laugh as well. Such talent. With a few more books under her belt, can you imagine what will be produced?
Luke and Vivian, OMG, the constant bickering of enemies was like listening to two toddlers going at it all the time, and you were the parent rolling your eyes praying for it to end. The bickering was entertaining though so that’s a good thing. Once all that bickering ends, they love so good.
CHEMISTRY:
Luke and Vivian are so sexy together. I find their chemistry appealing and entertaining. I’m sorry, I think Luke, the younger brother at 23 might have surpasses his brother Jake in the bedroom. Luke can be my enemy any day just so we can make up.
SECONDARY CHARACTERS
The Clark family and Vivian’s family are all connected, and I enjoy every single member on both sides. I don’t want this series to end. I hope there will be a book with Steve.
Overall, I was entertained, I like the way the story was conveyed to me, I like that it was funny, and it was also sexy and steamy.
***I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the books you read. I know we all have different opinions and preferences with what we read and hope this review was helpful.

I have to admit that I am very skeptical about Crash. This is my first read by Miss Sola. And to my surprise, I enjoyed it very much.
It started with skeptical and I ended up in love with Luke. He is such sweet sweet man. I wish the hate chemistry can be prolonged a bit more so I can feel the chemistry. Miss Sola hits the spot in telling us the hate to love romance.
The plot/ drama is standard. Ex girlfriend, trust issue, family issue. I am impress with Miss Sola ability bringing this story alive and sweet. Credit to Luke.
Overall this is a wonderful read to start my weekday.
4 stars

Easily, this author has managed to creep into my book world stratosphere. I can’t yet begin to stress the fact of how fascinated I am with this author’s work.
Ms. solo brings her characters to life like a live Disney play. Each emotion, each dialogue feels like it’s been strained through a fine tube compressor.
The crush was one of the best enemies to lovers book I’ve read in a long time. The high bar that was set in, this was met with a ten across the display panel.
This book again captured our characters true form traits. Luke and Vivienne were both in denial of the feelings they had towards each other. And the push then pull—and the I hate you then I love you build up was structured in a compelling manner.
In the third installment we get Luke and Viviene story. Luke is Jake’s you get a brother and Viviene is Sandra cousin. Both characters are deeply passionate but are facing anger, sadness, brief moments of miscommunication. They both and to deal with incredibly difficult issues such as parents resentment and even abortion.
Although the book was solely about Luke and Viviene, we get to experience how much Jake and Sandra are still very much in love and how all their lives intertwined. A great deal of the story focuses on how you can live through hardships, and that there is hope. It performs all of this masterfully, and it makes you feel every second of both characters' feelings. The love and her hate that Luke and Viviene both had for each other was cute and it made you root for them to be in one accord.
At times the book made me want to yell, and I do appreciate the fact that the author showed how each Luke’s family accepted the changing world and was very much welcoming. Both families were fine with their children loving someone outside their race.
At times Viviene made me want to strangle her to kicks some sense into her brain because of her hardheadedness. I was too taken aback by Viviene parents, they put her through hell, however, she never let that deter her from attaining her goals. She found love through this hopelessness and stayed along the right course in fulfilling her dream.
I’m glad I gave this author a chance and picked up her book. This book had many layers and with many important lessons, learn along the way, and for that reason I’ve highlighted is the reason why I’m urging everyone to read it.

I really liked the FLDS story element. It gave this book a different flare. However, I wish we had more of that going on over the left over club drama. I wanted this to be the main focus from start to finish.
Anyway- I love Levi and Cherish together. The only thing I didn't like- how fast their relationship seemed to be. I wanted her to have more time to figure out her life, and to seem more wary of the new changes happening.
I loved Seton's new found friendship with Cherish. That was a good edition.
This book does need better editing. Sometimes words would be missing to complete a sentence, or extra words were added to a sentence, throwing it off as the word was out of place.
Overall- I enjoyed this book however, it seemed like this book was made from a cookie cutter outline of book one to some degree.

I enjoyed the one-upmanship in Luke and Vivi's relationship. The stink bomb incident was crafty ... dare I say, maniacal payback! The supposed motivations of Tori didn't quite work for me. She had him right where she wanted him ... so why didn't she proceed. What better way for a Gold Digger to trap a man than to saddle him with a baby. Why decline to see him when he went to visit after the procedure. It made me think that she was up to something, but the story never went there.
As mentioned, these two were very immature at times and a bit sappy for my taste. I enjoyed when Vivi claimed her man and the family dynamics in the story. Recommended: Read It!

Crash was the second book in the Stone Kings MC series by Daphne Loveling.
I’ve taken a Hutus from formal reviews for a while, but a couple quick thoughts: I loved Levi and Cherish. And I loved the storyline on how they were associated. I also loved the suspenseful MC storyline, which will continue throughout the series. All in all, it was quick and enjoyable and I can’t wait the next book, Ride.

Crash is at the top of my best of 2020.
Fantastic writer that she is, Evelyn Sola saved the best for last* with CRASH, her amazing new adult enemies to lovers romance full of angst that gets the push pull between lovers just right.
After their rocky start which is all spitfire and immature will they won’t they, I had to fan myself with my kindle, because Vivi and Luke pack all the frenemies-can’t-fight-destiny emotional feels this book drew out. READ IMMEDIATELY. Quit reading and one click this book.
This may be the third book in Evelyn Sola’s first romance series, but gawd can she write. She has blown my mind with these fantastic characters. Crash is exactly right. It’s ridiculously addicting as are Vivi and Luke, UNF LUKE! What a hottie. I’ve thought of them all day hours after finishing. Vivi is so vulnerable and the way the story unfolds, I loved her. She needs Luke and I loved her journey to figuring her life out.
Luke! Holy hell. Sola found a new level with him. He’s perfect and he’s not, omg he’s such a fun mess, I’ve been waiting for his book. I loved how confident he was and how wrong he could be at times, and how he and his family were was the salve that Vivi needed. H I love a white knight, and I can read all the filthy and flirty things he says and does over and over.
I could go on, but you should be clicking on this book already. Incredible love story.
I read it in one sitting, real life be damned, it's THAT good!
*I cannot pick between Jake and JD. These men. whew

2.5 stars generously rounded up
This started off really well.
And it had a lot of potential to be a great read.
Only to go downhill with each page, especially in the romance department.
I'll be honest, mc/ biker romance is my least favourite. And it has to be done really well and the romance must be nicely layered and burning really slowly in order for me to believe that the h and H belong together and actually enjoy it.
Especially if we have such heavy themes to deal with, like in case of this book:
-leaving a cult
-child abuse
-physical and sexual abuse.
And like i said, it started off really well and i was invested enough to sacrifice a few hours of my beauty sleep just so i could finish this book.
But the more i read, the less happy i got.
Why?
Well, because the h Cherish, was not given the time to heal after everything that happened to her. Her adjustment to the real world happened overnight and again, all the trauma, the rape, the physical abuse were reduced to sth insignificant because the insta crap had to play the first role in this book.
And that was such a fucking shame.
Because if she was given the necessary time to heal and at the same time we could see how the feelings between her and Levi bloom, how they get close to one another by simply interacting, talking, spending time together, her getting her life sorted etc etc it would've been soooooooo much better.
The instacrap ruined this romance completely.
Another thing was that i really didn't care for the club's dealings and frankly it all just took too much attention from the couple and wasn't even that interesting for me.
I did like the guys, don't get me wrong, i enjoyed the chemistry they all seemed to have, but like i said, it wasn't done the way a story this calibre should've been done.
All in all, i am rounding it up to 3 stars because i partly enjoyed it. It wasn't what i expected or wanted but it wasn't a bad book.
It was decent.
Ish.
And I might even try other books from this series.
But whether i recommend it or not, well, that is a different story.
If you like instalove, have completely different expectations than me and don't mind the things i mentioned, then go for it.
But frankly, this will be up to you.
Just don't say i didn't warn ya.

OMG. GIVE ME MORE!! I seriously LOVE these two. What an Amazing read and So Well Written. I praise your writing skills. The way you can have 5 or more characters and yet each character has a voice that comes alive. It’s absolutely incredible and aspiring. I absolutely adore Luke and Vivi. Young love is so intense and refreshing. These two destine to be from the start. Even their “hatred” for each other was full of lust and passion. Luke Clark, is so easy to love. He’s charismatic, loving, charming and a barbarian lol with a wicked tongue. A tongue use for both loving and lashing. His love for ViVi is so genuine and pure.
Vivi, my strong will, passionate, feisty, smart and gorgeous heroine. So much love to give but so much pain. She knows exactly what she wants and needs. She’s honest and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. I desperately want more of these two. I can’t get enough of Luke and Vivi. Even when going at each other’s throats it make the make up all that much sweeter:).
These two deserved a happy ending after all they’ve been through. I just want the story to continue.

Crash is Book 3 of the Clark Family series by Evelyn Sola. I jumped into this series with Book 2 and even though this story focuses a lot more on the Clark Family this time around, I followed along just fine. In fact, I loved that you could feel the heat rolling off the pages between Luke and Vivi. Slow burn and intense are just a couple of the ways I'd describe their connection. It was obvious that initially they were fighting their attraction to each other with their "hateful" banter.
I am fairly new to this author, in that this is only the 2nd book I have read of hers, but I think it's awesome that she is not afraid to tackle some tough topics in her stories. Overall, this was an amazing story and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Luke loves Vivi & Vivi loves Luke
I received this book recommendation from Unique Words LLC. This is the third book from the Clark family and I sure hope it ain't the last they got to have cousins out there. I've been waiting on Vivi and Lukes story really since they bump into each other in Crave. This book did not disappoint in the telling of their story. I've read a lot of enemies to lovers story but I have to say this is going down as one of my fave. Their fighting was hilarious and their love was hot to read. Glad I was able to see previous couples as well but Vivi shine through this book. Love to see her fire and I definitely love when she was giving it back to Luke. These two were made for each other and it really bleed through the pages.

The series has potential, but the editing still needs work. I really wish the Author wouldn't rush the story so much...kind of makes it harder to connect to the characters. This could have been a really good book if we could have been given more of a chance to see their relationship grow. I give it a 2.8 stars.
August 4, 2020
Omg.. 3rd book and it's an Incredible read. The series just keeps growing and getting better. Loved this book. One sitting and I read it from start to finish. Absolutely amazing xx

A girl escapes a cult and goes find a guy that used to belong to cult years before. He is part of an MC. First he is not interested in helping the heroine then he starts developing feelings for her. I enjoyed the secondary characters and I loved the premise, but the execution was weak. Some scenes were good, others I found lacking.
The development of the characters was weak. I did not connect as much as I would have loved too.

Recensione a cura di Saluinadia
Seguiteci sul nostro blog https://coccolelibri.blogspot.com
“Mi chiamo Levi. Il mio nome per intero è Leviticus Josiah Wolff. Sono cresciuto in una setta religiosa fondamentalista chiamata il Ranch Waiting For Zion.”
In questo secondo volume la Loveling ci presenta Levi, capo della sicurezza della Stone Kings Motorcycle club e Cherish, una componente della WFZ.
Per avere un'idea di cosa voglia dire questa sigla, dovete addentrarvi in queste pagine per trovarvi in un ambiente che ha dell'orripilante, inconcepibile e spaventoso vivere.
Levi e Cherish si troveranno a portare avanti le loro priorità, a cercare di non intralciarsi, ma la loro attrazione e non solo, avranno un peso non indifferente.
“<>”
La Loveling col suo stile fresco, pulito, diretto, ci presenta uno stile di vita che non sempre rappresenta ciò che ognuno crede di conoscere.
La storia è coinvolgente e trasporta il lettore all'interno della stessa storia.
Una lettura da non perdere che vi trasporterà in situazioni davvero insolite che vi lasceranno basiti.
Buona lettura e alla prossima.

Lucas is one of those book boyfriends you can't help but to love but it isn't obvious up front. He's got a kind heart even though the focus being on the antagonistic nature of their relationship the first few chapters makes that fly right under the radar for a while.
My overall issue was with the heroine, Vivie. Theres childhood emotional trauma and damage, but I do feel like it was way over the top in terms of how she projected it on Lucas and how she navigated her life as a result. There are things no reasonable person is going to assume no matter what and she assumed them all to the point it dictated her every thought. The other side of that is that he could talk til he was blue in the face and she wouldn't accept it. But one or two words from a family member and boom-each time, it clicked. Got to be silly by the end.
Still, hot lovin' and a hot book boyfriend with solid writing overall. Can't complain much in this genre.

Vivi finds herself in a difficult situation as she has a close relationship with her family but not with her parents. When things reach a breaking point, she goes to her cousin Sandy for help which now puts her in daily contact with the one man who goes out of his way to be hurtful as he is her cousin’s brother in-law.
From the first meeting between Luke and Vivi got off to a bad start and it has only escalated over time. It is only when they find themselves having to work together that they realize they are much better lovers than enemies but first they both must heal from their pasts.
No matter what the situation the chemistry between them is off the charts and although their journey had its ups and downs there is no doubting that they are perfect for each other.

Ugh...I really wanted to love this enemies to lovers romance ( if you can even call if that 🤣) but I found myself putting it down a lot 😕 I really enjoyed the first book in this serious but this book didn’t do it for me! I wasn’t entertained at all & I felt like when they were “enemies” they were like super childish which kind of turned me off of this book but I pushed through anyway! Luke & Vivi were a cute couple I guess but I didn’t connect with the characters as much as I wanted to & I was, unfortunately, relieved when I finished this book 🤷🏽♀️

Such a great story. I loved the storyline and the plot was entertaining. Loved the characters of Vivi and Luke and they had great chemistry. This story had action, was so funny, hat fire, and lots of passion. These two were made for each other, they had some obstacles to overcome but their connection was really strong. Can't wait to read another story. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

😍😍😍😍😍😍
Evelyn please keep writing I want all of the stories, every last one you can churn out! Wow all of your books give me everything i would want humor, romance, fire sex scenes strong M/F leads and bomb supporting characters. Luke and Vivi made my heart sing they were worth the wait. The way you handled Vivi's struggles spoke to me and I liked how the the dynamics were not wrapped up in a neat bow.
Now I really would like a novella on Tash and Chris backstory too.

Another interesting setup. Cherish makes a daring escape from a fundamentalist illegal Mormon cult and comes to Lupine, CO to potentially get aid from the only person known to have permanently escaped from the group, a young man named Leviticus. Except now, he is a member of the Stone Kings MC and goes by Levi. He seems very angry to see her and wants nothing to do with her.
Lucky for Cherish, Seton, the first lady of the MC, takes an interest in her, becomes her friend and protects her.
Needless to say, an attraction grows rapidly between Levi and Cherish.

bellissimo!!!!
dopo aver letto il primo volume che non mi aveva convinto ho iniziato la storia di levi, il silenzioso, quasi musone stone king MC .....e mi ha lasciato senza parole!
levi ha una storia sua di sofferenza e dolere alle spalle ma non legata al MC bensi alla setta da cui proviene e da cui cherish riesce a scappare
il loro è un rapporto che si muove piano tra le sofferenze di ricordi legati a una vita folle e incomprensibile e la speranza di serenità; le parti sulla setta sono davvero forti, non siamo ai livelli di tillie cole ma comunque l'autrice riesce a trasmetterci tutto il potere la deviazione di questi pseudo santoni e di come possano davvero manovrare la mente umana
una storia toccante di rinascita di speranza di due persone che si amano quanto basta per superare tutto il male che hanno avuto

Better than book 1 in this series.
November 25, 2022
Boring and seriously repetitive! There were two huge problems with the writing, one, its seriously repetitive, and two, the author writes pages and pages for one small, unimportant thing. The repetition first, honestly this book was 90% repetition. Just a handful of examples from the first like 40%,
1. He e says at the top of one page that he was raised in the cult, of course the author uses many more word than that, only to say again that he was raised in the cult just three sentences later.
2. She asks bikers if they know a Levictus Wolff and one biker laughs and says to the others, "Levi's name is Levicticus, then she thinks to herself he knows leviticus, but apparently Levictus goes by Levi now. Well, yeah, you just had the reader reading it when it happened.
3. Not to mention she had Levi himself telling the reader that he was named Levictus Wolff,
4. And he stated it several times in the previous couple of pages.
5. We read the scene of him calling Seton, the club prez's woman, to bring Cherish clothes, read the scene of her accepting the clothes from Seton, then we had to read it again when he says that he called Senton to get Cherish clothes! Argh! The repetition is awful!
6. The heroine thinks that she'd been so focused on getting to Lupine that she hadn't thought about what to expect, in the next scene she thinks it again, that she'd been so focused on getting to Lupine that she hadn't thought about what to expect.
7. The heroine asks him "Levictus?" And he thinks, "she just called me Levictus", yes, again, we read it happening! It was bad writing ability.
Then it got worse! The author started repeating things three and four times,
8. He told her she could stay one night only
9. Then he went and told his brothers she can stay one night only
10. Then she thought again, he told me I could stay for only one night.
11. Seton tells the heroine they'll go shopping for clothes, and then she has a hairdresser friend who'll cut the heroine's hair
12. We rwad the scene of them going shopping for clothes and Senton's hairdresser friend cutting the heroines hair
13. Then we read the scene of the heroine telling the hero that Seton took her shopping for clothes and then had a hairdresser friend cut her hair
14. Then he thinks about how Senton had taken the heroine shopping, and how Seton had a hairdressser friend who cut Cherish's hair.
15. Then it's the entire scene of them when he goes to tell her she can stay, in her pov, about him moving closer to her then him leaving etc, only to then be made to re-read it in the exact same detail in his pov, when he thinks about how he'd gone to see her to say she could stay, how he'd moved close to her then he'd left etc
And this one scene went on for over 20 pages! Twenty pages for one scene because the author repeated it in detail in both characters points of view! Ridiculous! So, when I say the entire book is just repetition, I mean it!
Talk about repetitive in the extreme! It's irritating and boring! Readers do not need or want the author to tell them what she literally just had them reading a second before she makes us re-read it. I was left asking if the author seriously thinks what she has written here, such heavy repetition page after page after page, is enjoyable for readers! It's not enjoyable!
The overuse of the word 'had' is another example, it was used seven times on one page with only two paragraphs. It's a word I've noticed "excessive word packing" authors use. Along with not using contracted forms, "I had had to go" could be the contraction "I'd had to go". Not only would it have cut down on unnecessary words, it would have suited the first person narrative the author used much better.
The second big problem with the writing was how the author wrote entire pages for one unimportant thing that could and should have been stated in only one sentence. Extremely boring! I don't know if the author wrote several pages on every little thing to up the word count because she didn't have much idea of what to write as a story,
Another problem related to the excessive information for small things, were that sentences were crammed with too many unnecessary words, when she could and should have given the exact same information using fewer words. It made it like thick peasoup to slog through. An example,
"What few details I knew of the dead serviceman’s life had been told to us by Grey following his conversation with his dad’s old friend. His name was Evan Kramer. He had been a young man, not even twenty six yet when he died". It should gave just said,
"Grey told us about the him, Evan Kramer was only twenty five when he was killed". Because the author had given all the rest of the information in that sentence in the sentence before this one, when she wrote that a friend of Grey's father had called Grey to tell him about a young service man who had died in Afghanistan. So there was no need for her to repeat it all again.
It would be different if the author was giveing information to set scenes or world build but no, all these excessively wordy sentences were giving detail for unimportant things, like half a page to describe someone walking to him, or repeating information already given.
There were other issues, including grammatical errors and missing words, and problems like this, where in one paragraph two differ tings where stated, "I was ravenous, and had eaten most of my club sandwich and all of my fries before I knew it. Once I had eaten about half of my burger and demolished most of the fries, I sat back", Clearly that part about the buger was extra that shouldn't have been there.
As for the story, it was very cliched for the mc genre, cult girl escapes cult and gets protection from an mc, after the biker falls for her. Nothing new. I love mc books, so I don't mind re-reading the cliched plots but they need to have more depth to make them a bit different. This was just a copied and pasted basic outline of the many cult/mc stories already done.
I really didn't like the hero, he's always barking at her, and is always in a foul mood with her, no matter what his reasons, it's no excuse to treat her as bad as he does. He also knew where she was from, he knew how bad it was for young girls at the cult, how awful it would be for her if she got caught and brought back there, yet he didn't want to help her. He was willing to throw her out into the world, with no experience of the outside world, alone, with no money and nowhere to go or to sleep.
He only ended up helping her after he'd started thinking about how sexy she was and what it would be with her. He could have easily helped her, gave her cash, or to find a job, point her in the right direction. It would have been of no effort or cost to actually help the poor girl, but no, not until he started having dirty thoughts about her. He was horrible. Not to mention it never says that once he was out, did he never think to tell the authorities about 13 year old girls being raped. Neither did the heroine. I need to like the characters I read about much more than this.
The rest of it was tedious, lots of cliched details of other clubs and truces etc, I started skimming then, at around 30%. I read a lot of MC books because I enjoy them, but I didn't enjoy anything about this, not the story, not the characters and not the writing. It was so tedious I didn't finish it, didn't even get half way despite skimming. Cliched, basic and very boring compared to the many better MC books others out there by other authors.

Luke Loves Vivi and Vivi Loves Luke
And I love all the Clarks (even the unofficial ones). Crash was the perfect conclusion to the Clark Family Series. You got a peek inside what has been happening with my first love Jake as well as with Jason and Alex. I will not lie I have been waiting for Luke since Crave and this book did not disappoint. I love a slow burn enemies to lovers and I got just that with Luke and Vivi. They start out hating each other, even if everyone in the room can see that isn’t the case at all, go to a truce then full blown love. It is that sweet sort of first love (which I think for both of them they are each other’s first love). The kind where you think it will last forever because you cannot imagine your heart not feeling that way. This is the love Luke and Vivi have. They are for sure flawed. Luke is immature. He has a lot of feelings and does not always know how to express them. He deals with depression and lashes out because of it. Vivi has her own trauma from her childhood and at times works so hard to keep the bad out that she doesn’t know how to let the good in. You see it with her mother. You see it throughout her relationship with Luke. They both learn and grow together. I think that is what I loved the most that they sort of are growing up together because of each other. Like Luke said, “What we have is the real deal. We have what my parents have. What my brothers and their wives have. It’s not always pretty, but it’s always beautiful.” AND HOT can’t forget that because OMG is it HOT. Can’t wait to see what this author puts out nest!
