Revive is the continuation of the Storm MC series. The first two and a half books don't need to be read but it helps to get you the back story to the club, club house and characters' lives.Revive is Nash's story. Oh, Nash. I want to smoosh his cheeks and then do untold naughty things to him. I fell in love with him. Hard. God knows I love me a brooding, dark male lead!Nash harbours a secret. One his family know but that's it. He has his 'brothers' in the MC but none that know his deepest and darkest secrets. He has a friend in Velvet, the headliner at the MC's Strip Club but she doesn't know his deepest and darkest secret. Hell, we're seeing a personal insight into his life and WE don't know!! This hidden truth has been eating at Nash for almost a decade without closure, without moving on and without release.Velvet had a promising future. From a 'trailer trash' background she received a scholarship to college to study law. She met a boy. They fell in love. She left college behind to get married and be a good little housewife. Her husband, James, was a d*ck and screwed her over. Divorced for 5 years, Velvet had made herself into a strong, independent woman and was finally making something of herself at 32 years old.This story is about their friendship turning into a casual relationship into something else. It's a succession of events full of intrigue, guesswork (on our part!) and frustration. At times I just wanted to bang their heads together!Nash hasn't leant on anyone for a long time. He's always been the dependable, strong, head male and for him to need someone, to rely on someone it was a show of weakness. One he didn't need in his personal life nor at the club house.This book and the story of Nash and Velvet tugged at my heart strings. They both had less than happy pasts and bad, scarring memories but they found lightness and relief in one another. Whether it's the right time for them remained to be seen.This is the most emotional of the Storm MC books and I devoured it, staying up until the early hours with a deep need to finish it! Both Nash and Velvet's pasts made me shed a tear and the final reveal just made me sob like a child. A fantastic read with an immense depth of feeling that left me reeling and needing more.And the twist at the end? WOAH! Sorry, no spoilers here! Go and read it for yourself to find out! Thank you, Nina for another fab read! <3
