Suspenseful, powerful and emotional. I adored this book and the characters just get even more interesting as time goes on in this series. Another fantastic hit of the series. There’s a little bit of something for everyone in this series and I hope you all love it as much as I do.
What a spectacular follow up to the first story in this new series by a terrific author. This has all the elements of an outstanding romance suspense from the smart, sexy characters to the thrilling, chilling espionage storyline to the smarmy villains and of course the swoon-worthy, sizzling romance between Cord and Morgan. But his lies are threatening their marriage and the missing nuclear materials takes the attention away from fixing their problems. And now Cord may have a new threat in the form of a new man, Victor who has his sights set on Morgan. There’s so much to love about this story so far and the cliffhanger is a killer. I can’t wait to see where this fabulous author takes her story next. The suspense is killing me! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and loved it so I purchased a copy.
My heart is just about broken at this moment. This book (really the series) has taken me on a roller-coaster ride, mostly just going down! The emotional trauma that Ms. Stone has put Cord and Morgan through is just enough to break my heart. I almost hated to keep reading as Victor seems to keep gaining ground on Cord’s destruction but I persevered in my quest to see the evil vanquished. Well at least not in this book but hopefully in the next one. In this day and age with books being around 100 pages, having such a lengthy one that is broken up into multiple books is hard to see the good guys go through such turmoil. You want instant gratification in seeing the evil broken and the good winning out. Here the ground work is being laid down and the characters really have to work for their HEA. The action came at me, at such a fast pace. There really isn’t a down time that is nothing but fluff. Each scene has a meaning for the character that I had to slow down at times and REALLY pay attention to the little details. The plot is intricate in details but flows beautifully. I was enthralled right from the beginning and was burning up my e-reader to read.
This book gives the reader the POV from multiple characters and it is a joy to see how a scene plays out differently for each individually at times.
Like I mentioned earlier, I purchased a copy of this book and all of the prior ones as I will definitely be re-reading this series from start to finish straight through several times, I am sure. This author is a favorite of mine and is on my list to purchase. This book like all of rest of her books are written in such a way that I feel like I am a voyeur in the scene. The writing is such that my mind fills in the details and I focus in on the action.
This book is a part of a series that is necessary to read in sequence. There are scenes that may trigger a harmful reaction to some. I would only recommend this book to someone of a mature audience.
As more of the story comes out, I am rooting for our couple. AS they tried to figure out what was happening to each of them, I felt them grow a little more. I enjoyed the story and look forward to the next installment.
I received a copy of this story through Candid Book Reviews, and this is my unsolicited review.
The third episode in this startling saga. This is a very emotional page turner that at times makes you want to put it down and shout ENOUGH. But there is no way that you will be able to stop! I can’t wait to read the next episode. This series is not for the reader looking for a ,”fluffy sweet story” but if you like intense thought provoking drama don’t miss this one.
Book 3 answered any questions I had in Book 2. It left me with a better understanding of what leads Morgan to the point she was at and settled my queries about Cord.
As usual, the characters and the plot are so well developed that you feel as though you are in the story right there with them. Emotions run high!
It also highlights Victor more and my dislike for has more than tripled. I can’t wait to see where the rest of this story leads.
As Cord and Morgan are being pulled farther apart, Victor becomes more determined to have Morgan for his own. But there’s more to his malicious machinations than capturing Morgan’s heart and destroying Cord. He may be setting the stage for controlling something much bigger. When Cord finally returns, he discovers that his life as he knew it is gone, and he has become a wanted man. But he has a few tricks up his sleeve and is not ready to give up without a fight.
The continuation of Cord and Morgan’s story is powerful, emotionally overwhelming, fast-paced, edge of your seat suspense. The rapid movement between scenes is riveting with such intense action that it at times is emotionally difficult to read. This episode is the part of the story where you begin to feel nothing’s headed in a good direction. At times you just want to stop reading, but you just can’t put it down. From the first book this has been an emotional journey, and this installment will definitely put your feelings through the wringer and leave you desperate for what’s to come. This may be the best romantic suspense series I have ever read.
Ciana Stone has written a captivating story. Relentless is phenomenal. I love it when a book is so good you feel like your right there with the characters and you lose all concept of time. I loved this book.
Who are the loser or lost people in this book? All it takes is one mistake to have repercussions later in life. Remember karma will catch up to you in the end.
Morgan is still on a roller coaster ride for her life and she does not know who to trust. The love of her life committed a betrayal in the past that allow her to love but still lose faith in her spouse years later.
Her world is being torn apart and she does not know how this will end. Her children are now being affected and this is something that stresses her.
Book three is continuing the on going saga for this family, friends and enemies Cord did not know he had. An act of stupidity has made him the perfect fall guy for government corruption.
Ms. Stone is still keeping this story moving and intriguing with elements of danger, magic, mystical beings, conspiracy and out right betrayal of friends. If you have not started this series I do urge you to pick of the first book and get to reading.
My review is voluntary with no obligation tot he author.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book !
Morgan still loves Cord, but she is not sure if she can trust in this love.
Cord still loves Morgan, and he is trying to fight for their love.
Will Morgan + Cord be able to regain the live that they lost back ?
Loved the characters + the storytelling!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
“Relentless” is everything that all reviewers have stated, and more. The heartbreak of Morgan and Cord’s story as Victor manipulates and tears them apart, is so evil and devastating, it brought this reader to tears. Victor is nothing but pure evil, and I look forward in the future to see him receive justice. A bit of paranormal, suspense, betrayals, drama, well developed characters, and sexy scenes, are in each episode of Cord and Morgan’s story. It is sure to be a page turner for the reader that loves these types of stories. One of the best series I have read in a long time!

Having read the ones before this I raced into this one. This author has kept me hostage and have to find out if I get any wiggle room or what lol. Morgan will consume us in this one as everything is imploding around her. Oh the joys and dangers of love that is what we are shown. Also this one takes a twist with her that adds spice to her already being intriguing. Mystery abound we look and dig also wanting answers just as she does. And what about that Cord-wowie what a pickle for him. This author has given us superb in reading with us soaking it all in twisting us at times. Now what could be next?
This was so much better as I was able to read Ruthless and move right into Relentless. This way to read just works better for me than having to wait for each part of the book to be released.
The book is full of action, tension, suspense, and intrigue. Morgan and Cord are sliding rapidly along the downhill slope, into what I am not sure. Destruction? Devastation? The evil that is Victor seems to be all consuming. I do see some breaks in the web he is weaving. Not enough to relieve that “sitting on the edge of your seat” feeling that stays with you throughout this book.
There are glimmers of hope with Joe, Juro, Big Jeff, Slats, and the undying faith of Trevor, who is Cord and Morgan’s son.
I really hope the next book is the last one. I can’t take much more!
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy.
ARC for honest review with no compensation. 4.5 stars
Relentless is tied to the Cotton Creek saga (Shattered Chronicles book 3) by Ciana Stone and as always she keeps you on the edge of your seat…
The saga continues with Morgan engaged to Victor who is using mind altering drugs on Morgan, Trevor is trying to convince his mother, Morgan that all is not what it seems and Cord has come back from being missing and now wants his life and his wife back… With mysterious dreams happening about the past and future, suspense, danger, intrigue, twists and turns and manipulation this book has you turning the pages faster to find out what happens next…and what is the manipulative Vincent Vinsetti up to now?
This heart pounding read may end in a cliffhanger with plenty of loose ends…but it will make you think…what’s going to happen in the next book!!!!
Book three in The Shattered Chronicles / The Others series and this one kept me turning pages until the end. What is Victor up to? I want to read the next book to find out. I received a copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This is the third book of the Shattered Chronicles Series. The saga of Victor, Morgan, and Cord continues. A roller coaster of emotions combined with manipulation, betrayal, secrets, and lies make for an entertaining story. Throw in adultery, espionage, murder and lots of suspense. Quite a series that ends in a mild cliffhanger. I read an advance reader copy and voluntarily chose to review.
Fabulous read! In this 3rd book in the series, Morgan is devastated about her husband and is swept up by a man she has been warned to stay away from but life can change on a dime and she finds that Victor Vinsetti is a man who needs her and she gravitates toward him even though her love for Cord will not be forgotten and maybe not forgiven. Do not miss this book because this series will have you on the edge of your seat. Love the characters they are so vivid and intriguing. This is a page turner. I was given an Advanced Reader Copy from the author without obligation. I am providing an honest review.
With each new installment I remember why I don’t usually read “serials”. I feel like a kid again watching General Hospital. Rushing home after school, asking my Grandmother what I’d missed and then having to wait for the next episode. But…what are you going to do when you’re hooked? Morgan and Cord’s story definitely has me hooked. So I guess I’ll keep waiting for the next installment…..at least there are no commercials to interrupt my story!
