ARC REVIEW OF Relentless - Manhattan Knights Series Book Two by Sienna Parks

This is book 2 in the Manhattan Knights Series and this is Addi Warner and Carter de Rossi love story. These are two people who have had a rough time in their pasts. They are immediately drawn toward each other. Carter and Addi are both players, they are wham bam thank you types but when they meet, they find they want more than 1 time. Addi cant let Carter into her life while Carter wants to try a relationship with Addi…oh the angst and the emotional heartbreak that envelops these two in the beginning. Their relationship was so toxic in the beginning yet there were glimmers of hope, of surprises , of the hot sexy times they shared as they tried to overcome the environment and the toxic beginnings of their relationship. Carter is a definite alpha while Addi is outwardly an independent girl but inwardly she is so fragile, so in need of safety and protection. One is afraid of commitment while one will have to prove what true love means and show that commitment doesn’t mean imprisonment and/or rejection. There are so many ups and downs, highs and lows. I didn’t know half the time if I was happy or if I was sad but what I do know is this is a fantastic followup to book 1 and I loved Addi and Carter’s story.
Will they or wont they end up together? This book is so emotional, so ..well for lack of a better word- heartbreakingly good- its full of angst, of heartbreak, of two people who think they will never be able to have what they want the most when it is literally staring them in the face…they have such strong wants to deny themselves happiness yet that is what they were doing. It was a push/pull pretty much throughout this book and at times I wanted to smack both of the H/h because I was suffering right along with them yet this is what made this a good book, a great book. The fact I felt like I was literally living the story with the characters and when the book was over, I wanted the book to never end…which I hope there is definitely a book 3 to come up next.

My rating: 4.7 stars ****
