There is something about how Nina Levine writes her hot biker guys and witty heroines that make it so easy and addicting to read! Relent is just another proof on how the she (the author) tells magic through her stories.
"We'd always be those kids who loved each other. Underneath all the shit that was me today, I still loved her."
Childhood friends, Kick, Jeremy and Evie, they used to always have each other's backs, attached to each other's hips, always there for each other for support and love. Until an accident happened and another scandal followed and their lives changed. It was incredibly enthralling how Nina Levine went from present to flashbacks. There were hints of the past where I kept on thinking "What the heck happened before?" and then the next, there's a flashback explaining everything to me. No, it's not an annoying kind of flashback where it keeps going back and forth in every chapter. No. For me, it worked so well that the flashbacks only happened when needed. It was not dragging. Those flashback were actually pretty emotional and so straightforward and relevant to what's really happening in the present.
"What do you want, Kick?"
"You."
When another tragic accident happened, Evie and Kick were led in each other's path and this time, Kick is not going anywhere. I freaking loved how Kick was still so in love with Evie, he was determined to get her back and in his bad ass biker ways, he was protective of her. I also freaking loved that he didn't make any excuses about the past, he straight-up told Evie the reason he left and he owned it. Kick kicks serious ass!!!
"Evie would be mind forever. I'd make damn sure of it."
Relent is a pretty quick read but don't be fooled because like how much I admire Nina Levine's talent in writing different storylines with each book and characters but still being able to stick to that one overall plot that connects each stories, you know like with the Storm series, Evie and Kick's story is a complete treat that might even bring tears to your eyes. I may have shed a tear... or three. Friendship, love, family, Relent has the mix of an enjoyable hot reading treat!
Stars: 4.5 Stars

Extra Comment: I would love to read King's story but I guess I'll have to wait a little bit longer because Nitro is up next and Nitro is pretty intriguing, too!
