Hell on Wheels
by
Julie Ann Walker
Book Monster Reviews
, November 15, 2012
HELL ON WHEELS is the first book in Julia Ann Walker's new Black Knights Inc series and what an amazing new series this is!!! I am a huge fan of romantic suspense so when I came across these books on Amazon, I knew I had to read them. I was extremely lucky to gets ARCs of the first three books in the series and I am so happy I did. Once I finished the first book I couldn't wait to start the second. I ended up reading all three books in 2 days. I am a sucker for tortured heroes and the "big brothers best friend" relationship so this book was right up my alley. Black Knights Inc is a group of ex-military men working as a top secret private agency under the guise of a motorcycle shop that is owned by Becky "Rebel" Reichert, who is one of the team members younger sister. This is the story of Nate "Ghost" Weller and his best friend Grigg Morgan's baby sister, Ali Morgan. Nate has always been attracted to Ali since the very first day he met her. He was also threatened by Grigg that very moment he met Ali that Grigg would kill him if he ever touched her LOL. So, Nate has always tried to limit his time near Ali so she would never find out how he felt. Now that Grigg is gone, Nate still feels obligated to not betray his best friend and stay away from Ali. Nate is also tormented by Griggs death and feels extremely guilty. After delivering the news of Grigg's death to Ali and her parents, Nate and Ali share comfort with each other. He knows now, more than ever that anything between him and Ali could never be, because when she finds out the truth about what really happened to Grigg, she'll never forgive him. Nate decides to just leave Ali alone. That is until Ali shows up at the Black Knights Headquarters and needs protection. Ali Morgan is an innocent kindergarten teacher. She has always been attracted to Nate, her older brothers best friend. But Nate has never even given Ali a second glance or has barely even held a full conversation with her, leading her to believe that he doesn't really like her. After Ali is mugged and attacked she decides to go to the Black Knights Headquarters and ask Nate for his help. Ali doesn't know much about Black Knights or what they do because Grigg could never tell her the full truth, but she knows her brother was involved in something. A big something that has now gotten her on the bad guys hit list and only Nate will be able to find out what Grigg was involved in and help keep her safe. The chemistry between Nate & Ali was scorching. I couldn't wait for Nate to finally give into his feelings. Ali has always known Nate to be surly and a man of very few words and emotions. As Nate starts to break down, Ali is surprised to find out that he actually likes her, and is surprised when Nate reveals his true feelings to her. The story of Nate and Griggs past and the truth about what really happened was heartbreaking. I was in tears when we finally find out the truth, and the horrors of what Nate and Grigg had endured and what Nate was keeping secret from Ali. We also learn a lot about the secondary characters and I fell in love with them as well. There's Frank "Boss" Knight who runs Black Knights Inc.. We learn that Frank is secretly pining for Becky but will never allow himself to make a move on her for many reasons, two of which are, he's 13 years older than her and her boss. I instantly fell in love with Ethan "Ozzie" Sykes who is the light hearted, geeky computer tech of the group. There's also Becky's older brother, Bill "Wild Bill" Reichert and Dan "The Man" Currington who is married to Patti, Black Knights secretary. There is a horrible, heart breaking event that occurs with Dan & Patti that had me crying my eyes out again!! All in all, this was a great start to a new series and it has now become one of my top favorite series. I cannot wait to get my hands on more Black Knights Inc. books!! I give HELL ON WHEELS 5 out of 5 stars

In Rides Trouble

IN RIDES TROUBLE is the second book in the BLACK KNIGHTS INC. series. This is the story of Frank "Boss" Knight the leader of Black Knights Inc., an elite special ops team, and Becky "Rebel" Reichert the owner of the motorcycle shop that the Black Knights use as their cover. We met both Frank and Becky in the first HELL ON WHEELS and the tension was high between them. At the end of the first book Becky needed some much needed space from Frank and decided she was taking a vacation whether Frank liked it or not. This book picks up with Becky on a ship with her best friend and the ship has been taken hostage by pirates. Now Becky has to depend on Frank to come to her rescue and their incredible story takes off from there. Becky has loved Frank since the first day she met him but Frank is determined to stay away from Becky. Besides Frank being 13 years older than Becky and her being his employee, issues that happened during Frank's childhood prevent him from making Becky his. Frank and Becky are HOT!!! The tension and chemistry between them is enough to make you sweat and leave you clamoring for Frank to give in to his stubbornness and finally let Becky know how he really feels about her. Take that, a crazy pirate hell-bent on getting revenge on Becky and the adrenaline packed action throughout the book and Julie Ann Walker gives us one incredible story. Black Knight's Inc. has quickly become one of my favorite series. When I finished the first book, HELL ON WHEELS, I could not wait to read Frank & Becky's book. I was definitely not disappointed. Frank and Becky are my favorite couple in the series so far and I am really looking forward to reading more in this phenomenal new series. I give IN RIDES TROUBLE 5 out of 5 stars

Rev it Up formerly Deadly Connections

, November 15, 2012
REV IT UP is the third book in Julie Ann Walker's incredible new romantic suspense series, BLACK KNIGHTS INC., and this is the story of Jake "the snake" Summers and Michelle Carter. We met both of these characters in the second book IN RIDES TROUBLE. Michelle Carter is Frank Knights younger sister that he kept hidden all these years in fear that someone might come after her to get back at him. At the end of the last book Jake came to the motorcycle shop and stated to Frank that he was there for Michelle. Jake and Michelle have an intense history. Jake broke Michelle's heart and pushed her away because he was fighting odd his inner demons. He ended up pushing her into the arms of his best friend. Now Michelle is a widow with a young son and Jake is determined to do anything to win her back. The stakes are even higher now because Frank made a terrible enemy is the previous book and now he's out to destroy Frank by going after his family. Jake is determined to protect Michelle and her son Franklin even though Michelle is not happy about being stuck with him. Michelle has mixed feeling about Jake showing up again. She's always loved him but she's hurt about he just left her and blew her off years ago. When she has no choice but to let Jake protect her, she knows she has no chance at guarding her heart against him. But when Jake discovers that Michelle has betrayed him all these years by keeping a devastating secret from him, will he be able to forgive Michelle? Julie Ann Walker takes us on another adrenaline packed, emotional rollercoaster ride in the third installment of the BLACK KINIGHTS INC. series. I was really upset when I finished this book because I realized that I now have to wait until April 2013 for the next book in the series but I know it will be worth the wait. BLACK KNIGHTS INC. is an incredible series and I highly recommend it. Each story in the series can be read as a standalone but if you want the full effect of the series and the experience of falling in love with the characters as you read each book, I would recommend reading them in order. I give REV IT UP 5 put of 5 stars
