Twisted Knight

This story took me for a ride! I went in completely blind, and was absolutely enthralled with the lies and deception that unfolded as the story played out. In a town where perception and status matters, all is not as it seems when Holden Knight waltzes into Rowan’s world, throwing an even bigger wrench into her tumultuous relationship with her family and their failing business. He is arrogant yet charming, is ruthless in all things business, yet he seems to be the only one that truly sees Rowan for everything that she is.Rowan was so smart and capable, but no one in her family saw her for anything more than a pretty face, truly the face of the company, but nothing else. And while Rowan may have been charmed by Holden, there’s one big problem, Holden had revenge to seek and nothing would stand in his way to finally getting his vengeance. The flashbacks to his past absolutely ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped all over it, each one giving one more piece to the puzzle of his life and what truly happened to cause him to become so cold. This book was the perfect mix of forbidden romance and steamy scenes to keep me enthralled right up until the last page! Looking forward to the seeing what happens after that cliffhanger!

This is by far my favorite book I’ve read in 2024 (113 books total so far)! This book has a good plot and just the right amount of smut to keep you invested and turning the pages for more! The back and forth between Holden and Rowan is done well for the enemies to lovers trope. The writing telling the agendas of both Rowan and Holden is amazing. I found myself cheering them both on throughout! The gradual reveal of Holden’s reason for revenge is so good!The narrators for the audiobook (Patrick Zeller and Victoria Connolly) were great in conveying the emotions of each scene.I was selected to listen to the audiobook ahead of the release date and I will be buying the hard copy and impatiently waiting for the next book in the series!
