Kim! Honestly, throughout Elsa and Aiden's book, I was curious about what was happening with Kim and Xander. The books kept making little remarks about their history, and we know Kim grew up with the guys, but we never really delve that deep into things. But this one starts off really strong because we quickly learn just how rough Kim's life has been and the emotional trauma she's been forced to deal with due to how her mother treats her. She even threatens her through her baby brother, and it's just terrible. We knew in the previous books that her parents weren't around that much, but I never realized how bad it was until this one. Plus, the big reveal of this book would involve her brother being like her half-sibling and Xan's. Still, it ends up going down an even crazier path. On the other hand, Xan has been holding onto that secret for a very long time, and that's why he was so terrible to her suddenly. I wish we had more groveling from him because he did awful things to her, and she accepts it and moves on a little too fast. Same with the ending; it wraps up a bit too soon. I wish we had more time to work on everything after it's revealed.

I would like to preface this review by reminding everyone to please do some research on this novel — and ensure that you read up on all of its trigger warnings — before beginning it. 

Being a responsible reader and protecting your mental health should always be a priority. ♡

Gosh — I devoured this book!

I wasn’t a big fan of Xander’s character in the beginning of the series — so I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about him in “Black Knight” — but after finishing it I think it’s become my favorite book in the series (so far)!

I felt as though Kim and Xander’s plot was more believable than Aiden and Elsa’s — which I personally enjoyed — and I ultimately just love that Xander waited for Kim.

(Some of the other men in the series that have also claimed to have loved their LIs “for years” are hypocritical and cannot relate.)
