ARC Review

Julie Ann Walker is an incredible new romantic suspense author who has delivered in a big way with her Black Knight, Inc. series. This is the first book and it absolutely consumed me. I fell in love with the characters and her remarkable writing style.

Nate Weller is part of an elite team of Special Ops. They take the jobs to covert for anyone else to handle. Their headquarters are housed in a tricked out custom bike shop that they use as a front to conceal the assignments going on between the US Government and the Black Knights.

Ali has been in love with Nate for years. In her opinion, he is cold, standoffish and has never wanted anything to do with her. She has done her best to stay away from him. It’s not always been an easy task as Nate is her brother, Grigg’s best friend. Nate has been secretly attracted to Ali since she was just a teenager. Grigg made it known that he is never to look at her or touch her. He has stayed distant from her in hopes that one day his feelings and secret desires would vanish.

When Ali’s life is in danger and she doesn’t know why or who is after her, she goes to Nate. He and his team are the only ones she can trust to help her figure out what is going on. As they are forced to work together the feelings they have for one another develop into more than either one is prepared for. Although the sexual chemistry is intense, Nate knows that any kind of a future with Ali is hopeless. He has too many secrets from his past that can never be revealed.

It is rare that I find a book that is packed with such electrifying emotion as this one. The humor sprinkled throughout the story was amusing. She gave her characters their own little quirks that made these people completely believable. The description that she writes of some of the gruesome experiences Nate had to encounter on previous missions paint a very clear and heart wrenching image as you read them. The passion, sexual tension and turmoil she is able to capture with Ali and Nate is breathtaking.

Well done Ms. Walker. You have given us a rousing novel full of secrets and suspense. I can’t wait to read the next book in this exhilarating series and see what you have in store for the Black Knights.

If you are looking for a fast paced read that keeps you hooked from the first to last page, a tale that will have you laughing out loud one moment and wiping tears the next, an inspired exciting love story, this book is a must for you!
