This was a really good read for me.  Picking up shortly after Storm concluded, Fierce focuses on Scott and Harlow.  Holy sexual tension – and it just kept brewing.  Harlow – I liked her a lot – a sweet but strong little Aussie cowgirl who, after admitting she was wrong about her initial impression of Scott, never wavered in accepting who he was, what he did and calling him out when needed.  The subtlety of her strength was nice – being a strong woman does not mean you have to be a bitch.Scott is quite the dichotomy – the bada$$ biker with the brooding personality to match, and then also the thoughtful, caring man who looks after his crack head neighbor’s daughter, and cat.  It was nice to see some human qualities (and actual conversation!) in a biker.  I liked that Scott continued to be pissed at his Dad for cheating on and hitting his Mom.  The fact that he expected trust and faithfulness from a committed relationship made me love him even more – not the typical MC slant. Not to say he wasn’t a player before he met Harlow.  The key word there being before.  I do not enjoy the whoring around in MC books.  If that makes me a softy and unable to handle the intensity of the genre, so be it, but I won’t apologize for expecting the same undying loyalty to his woman that a biker gives to his club.  So Scott totally did it for me.Nina Levine continues to set the stage for future releases, as the continued character development of some the supporting characters (i.e. Blade and Nash) was stellar.  No, it wasn’t gritty throughout but it definitely had its moments.  While this book does contain a HEA, I am glad there is more planned for Scott and Harlow’s story since the ending felt a little rushed.  Can’t wait to see what happens with the Storm MC crew from here.  Next up is Nash!
