(Read more) Anya Gage has learned that to get anything good in life, you have to work for it. She has no expectations, no dreams.

Then she finds herself at a party where she doesn’t want to be and she meets Knight.

Knight Sebring knows who he is, what he wants and what he likes. And he gets it. But he never expected something as sweet as Anya Gage to wander into his bedroom during a party he did not expect to be having to borrow his phone.

Knight tries to leave Anya to the life she deserves of white picket fences and a man who watches football on Sundays – good, normal and clean. But when Anya comes to his nightclub and finds herself in a situation, he knows someone has to look after her, he can’t fight it anymore and he decides that man will be him.

Knight teaches Anya that, just as with the bad, in life you should also expect the good. And he teaches her this by giving it to her.

But Knight has a dark past and just as he desires Anya for exactly who she is, he fears when she finds out exactly the man he has become and always intends to be, she’ll leave him for good, normal and clean.

Loved it! Very 50 shades of grey (which I loved the story of) but with an even better love story. I wish it was longer and had a little more character development, but I love how KA always surprises me with their story and journey and of course the steamy, provocative love scences (blush). :)

Bits from this book reminded me of 50 Shades but that being said this book is not another 50 Shades!

Another great book from KA!

I love unique off the beaten track books and this one is certainly that!

This one was a tough one. KA states quite clearly on her homepage that Knight is "an anti-hero" and he is. I struggled throughout this short book w/ his hard side. Ultimately, he's definitely a good guy but ..... I still prefer my Chace, Hawk, and Joe Callahan. I will continue with her series becasue that's what we KA Addicts do, but .... I need to reflect on this more

I love this book. I have read it twice and fell in love with all over again.All the charters are great but it was knight that had me hooked the rough hard man that has a sweet tender heart.I going to look into KA's other books and I know they will be just as enjoyable.

Using my iPhone to do this.. So it'll be short n to the point :)

This was KA genius !!!! I think I blushed throughout the entire book... Blushed for many reasons !! Lol.. Steamy scenes that were amazing !!! Perfect in every way ! Not over the top or left u wanting more.. It was just perfect !! Knight has taken over my Tate spot as #1.. :)

Don't know how to tell you abt it without spoiling anything, but I'll tell you this :

Knight was everything I hoped for and more! Total alpha ! Extremely bossy but even more of a sweetheart :) took my breath away !!

Anya was smart . Sweet. Loyal. Trust worthy . Determined . Can you tell I loved her? Lol.

Even though it's a short book! It was packed with emotion and heart :) !!! I laughed, cried and swooned like never before !! Opened up my mind and made me fall inlove with a person who I didn't think I would or could.. How can you beat that? Lol

Last thing the epilogue was the best ever !y favorite part of the entire story !!! I **squeed** and cheered !! And of course got teary eyed !!!


Love KA ? Get started and brace your self !!!

Review by: Janice Hertwig on May 01, 2012 :
well I have to admit i was getting a bit peeved when i started reading and i persevered and read the whole book. I had never read this type of topic before and i was astonished at how a person would allow herself to be controlled. But having said that the story was beautifully told i came to understand her reasoning and her love for Knight. I give it 5 stars, i was going to give it 4 but thinking about it i was pleasantly surprised after a rocky start.

Loved the book and now am looking for a Knight of my own...Or maybe a Ty from Lady Luck. Kristen Ashley never disappoints.

Review by: Barb Hunter on April 11, 2012 :
A departure from her traditional hot men, Knight nevertheless is someone I loved getting to know and loved his "controlled control" of Anya. (in other words, even though he was controlling, it was always at the right level and not "out of control"). Totally agree with other reviewer Virginia Conti's comments...KA masterfully dished this out with just the right elements...Bravo!

Review by: Virginia Conti on April 10, 2012 :
Wow I was sucked in to this story. I had to know what Knights story was and it was very interesting. This story tested my limits of how much control signals a red flag for a girl to run but every time I thought it was too much the author had Knight say and do just the right thing to prove our girl was in no physical danger. It was a Hot Hot read with and I felt right along with Anya that Knight was THE MAN. Thank you Kristen this was worth double the cost!
