One wants to chain himself to his woman.The other doesn’t know if he can unchain his heart from the need for revenge and the hatred that has filled him ever since he lost the love of his life.Ryder’s a biker; Harrison wants to see all bikers burn in hell. Ryder loves Jade, Harrison’s sister, and Harrison has never wanted a woman as much as he wants Ava, Ryder’s half sister.Ryder and Harrison couldn’t be any more different in all aspects of their lives; the problem is their lives have collided in a way that there’s no going back from, and now they have to figure out if they can coexist or take each other out.Unchain My Heart is book 2 in Jani Kay’s Scorpio Stinger MC series. It continues Ryder and Jade’s story, Harrison’s drive to take out the MC club, and both worlds desire to keep them apart. It also dives deeper into the drama between the rival clubs and further questions what Ryder’s role is with the Scorpio Stingers now that he’s decided his life is with his princess.In book 2, there are many stories being simultaneously told with multiple point of views, which in some texts can be confusing and chaotic, but that is not the case in Unchain My Heart. Harrison’s role in Ryder and Jade’s story is crucial to understanding Jade’s connection with Harrison as well as his animosity towards Ryder and his club. Harrison’s voice is critical; his words are necessary to understand the depth of his anger and his thirst for revenge. He lives and breathes it, and he’s the only one who can make readers understand his perspective. Ava is a new character to the story, but her role is also vital because she can possibly mend and bring together the two sides. No one knows much about Ava, so in order for her to become a necessary facet to the storyline, her story also needs to be told, and she’s the only person who can play that role.While there is a lot more than just Ryder and Jade’s story in this book, their journey still remains front and center and what Jani Kay puts them through is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. The growth that both Ryder and Jade experience in this book proves what they are willing to do for one another and how far their relationship has progressed since their first meeting where they detested one another.The awesome part about this series is that Ryder and Jade’s story is still being written, and while readers live it with them, we are also pulled in to secondary characters’ storylines that shed light on past and present circumstances that affect Ryder and Jade along with a multitude of others. This means that the characters are extremely well developed and the complex plots interweave to tell one hell of an MC story, and I can’t wait to continue not only the biker and his princess’s story, but also those characters who will look to help and hurt them as well.A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.4.5 poison apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)
