She Needs a
Hero...
Abby
Thompson didn’t sign up to be the daughter of the President of the United
States. The position was forced on her by the small matter of her birth.
Preferring a quiet life of study, she’s content to leave the politics and the
international intrigue to her father. Unfortunately, the most powerful man on
the planet is sure to make enemies. When a group of armed thugs takes her
hostage half a world away, demanding the U.S. government release prisoners in
exchange for her safe return, she fears her father’s policy of “not negotiating
with terrorists” means she’ll never see the shores of the Potomac again.
Luckily, there’s one glimmer of hope. His name is Carlos Soto. And though she
abruptly ended things with him years ago, she knows now he’s the only man who
can save her…
Black
Knights, Inc. to the Rescue...
Carlos
“Steady” Soto has taken part in his fair share of dangerous missions working at
the covert government defense firm of Black Knights Inc. But nothing prepared
him for the emotional rollercoaster he faces when he’s tasked with rescuing the
only woman he ever loved—who also broke his heart. Racing against time and
outmaneuvering a group of trained terrorists will take everything he’s got.
Plus there’s the heat simmering between them which is threatening to ignite
into an inferno. While ruthless enemies stalk them, they must learn to trust
each other again. Even if they do make it out alive, will Abby turn her back on
him…for the second time?

MY SWEET BLACK
KNIGHTS!!!! I love this series. Miranda started this one before me. Yeah, I
don't know why we are still friends. Regardless, she gave me one line of
anticipation. She said, " This book is full of possibilities." I
didn't truly understand this until midway through. With all of the various
characters that matched up in the previous Knight books we were running out of
options. That being said and truly incredible author that Julie Ann Walker is
she gave us so much more in this story. Now we are almost overwhelmed with
options for the next few books of the series. This particular story was a bit
of a dual story line. I mean Carlos takes center stage, but Dan really has a
story of his own building in quite extensive detail on the sideline. This is
yet another action packed, and thrilling adventure. Very unique to the stories
I have come to expect since Carols flying solo in the Jungle for much of this
story. The lack of the Custom Harley's were also a noticed absence here.
Regardless, the adventure does not suffer. This will prove just as amazing as
the previous six books, and a new addition to BookWhisperer Recommended
reads. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer Jax~

Dang!
How does Julie Ann Walker write these books that just suck me in and make me a
nervous wreck throughout the entire plot line?
The
story behind Carlos and Abby was super adorable. Carlos, being older than
Abby, kept himself at bay so that he wouldn't be tempted. Especially
since his sister, Rosa, was mentoring her through college. And then, it
happens....the event that kinda rocked my world in this book even though it was
in the first chapter. Oh, wow! And this event is what separates
them, defines them, and eventually brings them back together.
Now,
let's fast-forward--Carlos is a part of the Black Knight, Inc. group and Abby
is the President of the United State's daughter and a botanist. You really
shouldn't think that their lines should cross again but they do when Abby
speaks at a conference and finds herself in danger. This danger is the world that both Carlos and
Abby live in this entire book. It is packed with action and was
something that just built on top of more action - which made this book pretty
amazing. Also, adding sexy Carlos to the
mix made this book practically heaven.
It didn’t hurt that we also got to see a small relationship build
between a new character Penni and Dan.
But
this action packed book took me on a ride of my life. I felt like I was tromping through the jungle
with Carlos and Abby. Too bad I don’t
have my own Carolos to take a stroll through the jungle with.
