Laura’s Review of Hyde’s Absolution (Sydney Storm MC, #4) By Nina Levine

Synopsis

Monroe Lee is a handful.
She fights me, challenges me and tries to resist me.

Where I’m jagged, she’s smooth.
Where I’m dark, she’s pure.
Where I’m broken, she’s whole.

I am not a good man.
I’ve hurt everyone I’ve ever loved.
I should walk away before I ruin her too.

But fuck, we are fire together.
And I’ve been out in the cold too long.

At a time when everything is falling down around me, she might just be my saviour.

What I Loved

I was so happy to jump back into the Sydney Storm MC world and get into Hyde’s story, he’s always been somewhat of an elusive character that I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about. As much as I couldn’t wait to get back into this world, I didn’t know how I would feel about reading his story because I didn’t exactly love Hyde.  Saying that, by the end of the story I was fully invested in him and fell in love with him!

I loved how the story opened, showing you Hyde’s past and then fast forwarding to the present and to show you the true impact of his decisions.  I can see why people would be turned off by Hyde for his past choices, but for me what he went through and how it killed him made me understand him more and endear him more to me.  Also, I love his alpha attitude because it made him damn sexy lots of times throughout the book and I loved his attraction to Monroe from the start.

        Monroe was character that I liked from the very beginning, her spunk and attitude makes her a no bullshit type of gal which is right up my alley. I loved how she always stood up for her convictions and didn’t take shit from no one, including Hyde.  I loved the fights between them as much as I loved their attraction and how all that lead to massive sparks. 

Not So Much

        My only real complaint about the story was I felt like the plot of Sydney Storm and Hyde’s back story became too big in comparison to the love story.  I get that this series has an overarching plot linking the series together but Monroe didn’t come into the story until a couple chapters in, and for a minute I was confused if this story was about Hyde and his ex-wife or Hyde and Monroe.  I didn’t have a problem with laying out Hyde’s plot and his backstory per say, but as a reader you are so deep into it and then suddenly it switches to Monroe, when I felt like that should’ve happened a little bit earlier on.  This is supposed to be a romance at its core, and I felt like that got over shadowed at times.

To Sum It All Up!

        Overall, I was happy with Hyde’s Absolution, I always love the drama and suspense in every Storm MC book and this one is no exception.  I’ve always been a fan of a series that has a common plot throughout it because you can really amp up the suspense and tension, and with every book that is exactly what is happening in this series.  The violence and drama amps up significantly in this one and breaks your heart at certain points, I will not say more than that because I don’t want to give anything away. 

        I loved Monroe’s attitude and her passion, I think she is what sucked me into this story the most and kept me reading.  In so many ways this girl is my hero because she puts up with zero bullshit and lays it all out there when it’s needed.  Also, I loved the chemistry between her and Hyde because they fed off each other so well and the sexual attraction between them sizzled all the time.  Even though their love came at an inconvenient time, they made it work and I loved how Hyde still dedicated his time to Monroe with all the shit swirling around his life.  I really enjoyed their journey together and watching them fall in love and build a life together.  There is a cliff hanger at the end leading the reader into the next book in this series, which I cannot wait for, so if you hate cliff hangers wait until King’s Wrath comes out.

Excerpt 

I tore my attention from Hyde and gave it back to Tatum when she said, “I’ll call you tomorrow.”

Hyde’s presence had pretty much wiped all coherent thought from my mind, so I simply nodded and murmured, “Okay.”

As she and Nitro walked away from us, Hyde moved closer. His scent almost hypnotised me, if that was even possible. Looking down at me, he said, “What are you drinking?” The husky tone of his voice was like the final nail in my coffin. He could lead me down the path to sin with that voice.

“A Cosmo please.”

He turned to the waiting bartender and ordered drinks before shifting his gaze back to me. His body was so damn close it almost pressed against mine. His eyes dropped to my chest. “You weren’t made to be subtle, were you, sugar?”

“Can’t say that word’s in my vocabulary, no.” The way he was devouring my body told me I’d made the best decision when I bought the black dress I wore tonight. Knee length with a plunging neckline and accentuated with a belt around my waist, it clung to every curve I had. My girls were up and proudly out, just the way I liked them. I mean, if you had it, flaunt it, right? And I’d had the red in my hair touched up that afternoon. It hung in lazy vivid red curls to just below my breasts. I wasn’t sure which part of me he thought wasn’t subtle, but I guessed it had something to do with my dress by the way he seemed unable to draw his gaze from my body.

Finally he found his way back up to my face. The heat flashing in his eyes shot a round of lust through my veins. Good God, this man, though. I wondered if he had any idea of the storm he caused within me. “Don’t ever add it.” If what he said didn’t make my legs sway a little, the forceful, gravelly way he said it did.

The bartender placed our drinks on the counter, distracting us from each other. Hyde dropped some cash on the bar, took a mouthful of his whisky and looked back at me while I got down as much of my drink as I could in one mouthful. God knew, I needed it. I could stand my ground with any man, but Hyde had a way of catching me off guard.

“You calm down after that thing about owing me money this morning?” And there he went, flipping my feelings about him on their head.

I fixed him with a look that let him know I wasn’t impressed. “I didn’t have anything to calm down from.”

“You seemed all worked up about it.”

I threw some more of my cocktail down my throat. “I wasn’t.” But I was getting there now, that was for sure.

He drank some more whisky, keeping his eyes steady on mine. “Okay.”

Okay? Oh no he didn’t. He didn’t get to end a conversation with that bullshit. “Okay? Seriously, you’re going to end with that?”

“It seemed pointless to argue.”

I finished my drink and placed the empty glass down with some force. Sliding off my stool, I said, “We weren’t arguing. I was simply telling you like it was.”

“Yeah, I’ve picked that up about you.”

My eyes practically popped out of their sockets. “Picked up what about me?”

“That you like to tell men like it is.”

“I do not! You just have this way of pushing my buttons. I feel like it’s you, not me.”

His lips twitched. “Sugar, if I knew which buttons I was pushing, I’d push them some more. I never said I didn’t like the way you told me how it was.”

I snatched my bag off the bar. I needed a moment to get my thoughts under control. In the space of seconds I’d switched from wanting him to wanting to smack him to wanting him again. My mind needed a break from the whiplash. I took a step away from the bar and said, “I’ll have another Cosmo.”

Without waiting for his response, I headed in the direction of the ladies room. I’d almost made it there when a hand slid around my waist and I was pushed up against the wall in the dark hallway. A hard body pushed against mine as the hand around my waist slid down to settle on my ass and warm breath whispered across my cheek. “My cock likes that attitude of yours. Surprised the fuck outta me, but I can’t deny I want more of it.”

The proof of his statement ground against me, sparking need all over me. Every inch of my skin blazed with desire. I gripped his shirt with both hands and found his eyes. “You and I weren’t made for each other, Hyde.”

“I’m not saying we were.”

My body went to war with my mind. It fought me kicking and screaming, desperate for what he was offering, but I didn’t want to surrender. “So what’s the point of starting something?”

He pushed his cock harder against me. “I came here against better judgement tonight. Nitro told me you’d be here and I came because I couldn’t, for the fucking life of me, get you out of my head. I want my hands on those curves of yours and my dick as far inside you as you can take it.”

What I Loved

        Yay another Nina Levine Storm MC book!!! I couldn’t wait to jump back into the crazy world of Storm and see who was going to fall in love next.  Devil was someone who somewhat interested me in the past so I was happy to get around to his story.  I loved that the book started right from his point of view laying the foundation very quickly for the plot.  There wasn’t a ton of lead in, which I really liked because from the very beginning you sense the chemistry between Hailee and Devil and from there sparks fly between these two.

        Hailee was an easy girl to relate to, making it easy for me to became emotionally involved in the plot line and I stayed that way till the very end.  I loved her boldness and no nonsense attitude when it came to her feelings for Devil and about life in general.  She was a woman with a big heart but had a lot of common sense and made good decisions.  I loved how attracted she was to Devil and how they couldn’t get enough of each other from beginning to end.  I feel like there were more scenes of Hailee ripping Devil’s clothes off rather than the other way around, and I absolutely loved that. 

        Devil was an easy dude to fall for from the very beginning and as the story played out I fell even deeper.  I loved his tough guy exterior and his no bullshit attitude but was willing to lay it all on the line for the woman he loved.  He certainly had a temper and throughout the story that showed at times but was willing to learn from his mistakes and grow. 

Not So Much

       

        I do wish there were more details added into the story.  For example, Hailee, is the lead singer of a band and she talks about her band mates but there was no physical description of what they look like.  The same goes for Hailee’s and Devil’s houses, there is no real explanation of what these places looks like or how they are laid out at all.  I like having those types of details in a book so I can get a full picture of the story going on around me.  

        Also, I did feel like there were some plotlines that were dropped or rather not followed through the way I felt like they should have.  I don’t want to give anything away but there is a discussion Devil has about his family and some suggestions are made but it’s never talked about again.  To me, it was a missed opportunity to give the story more depth and possibly attach myself even more to Devil’s character.  It certainly would’ve showed another layer of Devil that is only sort of talked about but never delved too much into.  His past is always talked about in bits and pieces from his point of view, but I wish it was more thought out with more description.  To me it just created plot holes where there didn’t need to be.

To Sum It All Up!

        Overall, I was happy with this story and by the end I wanted more Devil and Hailee in my life.  In every Nine Levine book, there is of course suspense and this one was no exception to that rule. What I enjoyed the most was that I had no idea what was going to happen next.  I was a little shocked when shit finally hit the fan because I did not see it coming at all!  I love stories I can’t predict the outcomes to and Devil’s Vengeance fits that bill! 

        There were some overarching plot lines that did come to end in this story which I really liked, but of course when one ends another begins!  I’m not giving anything away but all is not well in the Storm MC world.  I also really liked that the Brisbane Storm MC chapter got involved a little because I miss those guys! The end of this book does you lead into the next and I can certainly say I am more than a little intrigued! Although after all the crap that went down in this book I do wish that King’s story was next rather than Hyde’s. 

        I loved the chemistry between Devil and Hailee, watching them fall for each other so quickly was heartwarming at times. There was a lot of hot sex scenes in this one so if you’re in need of a hot naked biker than this is the book for you.  The way they couldn’t get enough of each other was enthralling and kept me addicted right from the start.  The writing was on point and I liked the switching point of views so you get to see what both characters are thinking and where they are coming from.  This was a quick, sizzling hot read and I cannot wait to see what comes next for the Sydney Storm MC.

Here’s a taste of Devil & Hailee 

I decided to be completely up-front with my thoughts. “Are you just after sex here? I mean, if you are, I’m on board with that, but I’d rather know going in what this is rather than thinking it could be more when that’s not what you’re thinking.”

He smiled harder and leant forward so he could kiss me. His lips on mine blazed a line of hunger along my skin. Every inch of me wanted more. And he didn’t disappoint.

Parting my lips, he deepened the kiss, his tongue searching for mine. He took my face in his hands, and his body slid across the lounge towards mine until we were touching.

I wanted to crawl into his lap and never let him end this kiss.

I wanted to rip his shirt off and put my hands all over his body.

God, I wanted to do so many dirty things to him—things I’d never done to another man, but had dreamt of.

“Darlin’,” he rasped, pulling his mouth from mine, which made me want to cry out my disappointment. “We need to stop this now or else I’m not gonna be able to stop. I’d happily fuck you on this lounge if it’s what you wanted, but I doubt it is.”

I took hold of his face. “I need your lips on mine for at least another five minutes, and if you can’t control yourself, that’s on you.” My words came out on a huff of bossy breathlessness, because that’s what a kiss from Devil did to me. I could only imagine what sleeping with him would do. Hell, he might cause me to stop breathing all together.

His eyes widened a fraction before he grinned. “Jesus, you’re something else, woman.”

And then he gave me what I wanted.

And I knew what his answer would be about whether this was just sex or not.

This was never going to just be about sex.
