Synopsis
Evelyn Banks is alone, and she has only herself to blame.
Overwhelmed by her feelings for the enigmatic, dominant Wade Parks, she pushed him—and everybody else—away and drowned her torment in alcohol. Now at rock bottom, she needs help…and the only help she’ll accept is from Mr. Parks.
Mr. Parks has done the unthinkable…he’s fallen in love.
Beneath his completely controlled surface, his heart is in turmoil. Despite his inner conflict, he’s committed to helping Evelyn regain her emotional equilibrium and giving her the life she deserves.
Evelyn has more secrets, and one could be a deal-breaker.
One dark chapter from Evelyn’s past is uncomfortably similar to Mr. Parks’ own, leaving him at a loss as to how to connect with her in the only way he knows. He structures his life around dominance and submission, but how can he use discipline on someone who has been so broken?
If Mr. Parks can eliminate a looming danger, maybe he can save them both.
He’s determined to find the culprit threatening Evelyn, but when his own dark past is revealed, his illusion of a perfect life is shattered.
Their love has become an addiction, but when the fantasy is stripped away to reveal their hidden truths, will love be enough to hold them together?

Review
Four Stars- I received an ARC for an honest review of Addicted to Mr Parks (The Parks Series #2) by Lilly James
What an emotional roller coaster! Let me begin by warning you this book ends in yet another terrific cliffhanger. Evelyn's story gets more complicated and more of her destructive past is released. While Wade's past remains a secret locked up like a vault. Evelyn and Wade seem to be working together to heal one another until a trip to America reveals so much about Wade's past. And the past may finally have the upper hand in destroying the relationship between these two struggling individuals. I was a mess at the end and now have to figure out how to cope with waiting for book 3.
Excerpt
Parks had to take care of business when we arrived home late Sunday afternoon, so instead of lounging around the apartment, I decided to go visit Steph. I changed into ripped jeans, a white shirt, and heels and stalked into the office to inform Parks about my plans. His gaze drifted up from his computer screen, where he’d stopped vigorously typing. It hit my face, soft and warm, but when he saw what I was wearing on bottom, he glowered. “Your jeans are ripped.”
“They’re meant to be.” I chuckled.
“But I can see the tops of your thighs, Evelyn. Which means so can other men.”
“I’m going to Steph’s. Don’t be ridiculous.”
He pushed to his feet and made his way towards me with determined strides. When he reached me, he bent down and ripped the hole in my jeans, making it even bigger. “Now you can’t wear them.”
I remained gobsmacked, immobilised, and fucking pissed off. “You’re insane. I can’t believe you just did that.”
“I can’t believe you think I would allow you out with the tops of your thighs on display.” He turned his back on me, shoulders intensely flexing as he walked away. Reasonably, he was in a foul mood because his work was stressful and he’d been taken away from me for a few hours. Unreasonably, he was taking it out on me.
“These jeans are from the wardrobe you gifted me with, dumbass.”
He froze on the spot, taking a moment to turn and face me. His eyes were brimming with cold, calm rage when he did. “Did you just call me a dumbass?” Oh shit.
“Well, you stocked the damn thing.” My heart was thrashing against my rib cage. The look in his eyes was far too familiar. It was the one that came just before a spanking. He crooked his finger, speaking low and menacing.
“Come here.” The power and command in his voice pulled out a submissive side of mine that I loved coming out to play. I began to walk backwards, my feet working slowly. For every step back I took, he took a step forwards. “Don’t make me chase you, Evelyn, because if I do, your punishment will enhance.”
“Maybe I want it to enhance,” I breathed. My steps suddenly ran out when my back came into contact with the wall. Seeing his chance, Parks charged at me. Mercilessly, he turned my body around and pushed my front into the wall. My cheek pressed up against it. A gasp heaved out of my mouth, my body already aching and wanting. Parks pressed himself into me, keeping me from moving. His whispers tickled at my ear.
“You love to push my buttons, don’t you, Evelyn?”
My breathing was heavy, my words gasping. “You know I do.”
