I have to say Nash has been my favourite read so far in the Skull series, followed closely by Murphy. This novel was raw, full of revenge, violence, a battle to survive addiction and reclaim love. Sophia’s relationship with Nash consisted of only friendship, she refused to allow herself anything more as he constantly bedded her sister Kate, a path she could never cross despite how she felt about him. Little did Sophia know that the real reason behind his visits, he had fallen for her hard and needed to be in her company, he didn’t think she could handle his lifestyle with the club so he remained with Kate. When Kate died Sophia discovered how Nash really felt about her, she pushed him away feeling that she lacked what Kate had to offer. Kicking Nash out with Kate’s belongings he falls hard into drugs to deal with the rejection. The story drew me straight into his world of pain, the anticipation of seeing how this played out was too nerve wrecking and exciting to read lol. I loved how Lash protected his younger brother from the club, taking matters into his own hands, he pushed Sophia into a corner so that he could save his brother and the only way she could remain protected by the Skulls from any further attacks. Nash’s recovery was emotional and heart breaking to read, held captive and withheld from any comfort, Nash learnt to tough it out, he fought to overcome his battles, seeing how much pain Lash took on to keep his secret, the risk he put the club at and seeing Sophia in another man’s arms took all his strength to redeem himself. Sophia’s character was just amazing, I really connected to her more so than I did with Angel, she was really there for her man, making him fall more in love with her, Sophia stepped into her own shoes and overshadowed Kate in strength and beauty. The scenes between Sophia and Nash were oh my just hot and kinky! A brilliant read with twists that bought action to the table from everyone at the club, how it handled drug abuse within the club and faced those that dared to threaten the lives of their loved ones.
