My Review of Relent by Nina Levine

Synopsis 
Evie Bishop grew up loving Kick Hanson. He loved her, too. They were inseparable. Best friends who looked out for each other. Until the day scandal hit their families and ripped everything apart, changing the course of all their lives.



Kick follows a dangerous path that leads him to the Storm MC where he spends his days buried deep in a violent and lawless world that is slowly consuming his soul. Evie works hard to escape the hopelessness that threatens to swallow her after her family is ripped apart. She builds a stable life for herself, however it's devoid of the one thing she has always longed for - Kick.



The love these two have for each other never wavers but sometimes in life, love isn't enough. Even in the times they find each other again, they can never make it work. Kick fights against bringing Evie into his world and Evie refuses a life with Kick if he won't fully commit to her. However, when circumstance throws them together again, Kick knows he must finally make her his. The trouble is, Evie's done. She loves him but she believes their chance to be together has long passed.



When Kick finally stakes his claim, will Evie relent and give their love another go, or has Kick left it too long to go after the woman who has owned his heart forever?



Relent is the first book in the Sydney Storm MC series. This is a spin off series to the Storm MC series. Readers do not have to read the Storm MC series to read this one.



My Review -

Ugh...I am going to rate this one between a 3-4 star read for me. 

Evie and Kick...... I really wanted to love them. I didn't really connect with these characters on an emotional lever like I had hoped. I felt there were a lot of details left out during certain parts of the story that maybe could have given me the extra OOMPH I needed in order to understand, connect and fall in love with them. Maybe those unanswered questions or voids will be addressed in future books.

Evie and Kick were childhood friends...turned lovers. Then a break up came that lasted three years. During which... Kick become deeply involved in the MC. Neither of them apparently stopped loving one another. SO, after reuniting - Kick felt his loyalties to Evie and the club were being tested. He really didn't know where to turn. 

Evie has always wanted more from Kick. And when he can't or won't give more then that seems to cause problems.

There is plenty of hot sex. But not too much drama which is another thing I was missing. 

This is a story of losing love. Finding it again and trying to fight to hold onto it. It doesn't focus too much on the MC side of things. It's more of can these two oversea obstacles to find their HEA?

I really really wanted more angst and drama and more emotions personally. I do look forward to the next book in the series and how Nitro's story will unfold. 

All in all it was a good story. But, if you are wanting hard core MC stuff.... this wouldn't be that book.
