3.5 Shelved as 'dark' because the heroine spends most of the book fighting her way back to mental health after being held in captivity. Although the story kept me turning pages, the FBI hero crossed a number of lines that outside of fiction would have got him fired.

Dark read
Enjoyable and dark but not as dark as I like. Smith was dominant but the situation just felt third person. The characters didn’t suck me in like some books do, but still a good read. My first in the series.

Holy wow.
I think this is my favorite book of the Impossible series and that is saying something because I love all of Julia’s books a lot.
Smith is with the FBI and goes on a bust. There he finds Lydia, who doesn’t know she is Lydia because her brain is trying to save her. The things this woman has been through.
We know from the blurb that Smith finds Lydia and saves her, physically that is. Can he save her mentally? Her brain has completely separated the person that she is now, the prisoner, and the woman she was. She has the memories of that woman buried down so far, she has trouble accessing them. She is just slave.
Can Smith break through that wall and find who she was.
I spent the whole book just completely absorbed in the story. I was horrified, then I had hope, then I was horrified again, and I loved Smith. I adored Lydia. I was rooting for Lydia. Lydia HAD to pull through this. I had tears at times, sad and happy. I had my hand over my mouth while reading what Lydia had gone through as slave. Knight is such an intense book. It is absolutely amazing. When I was done with Knight, I just sat there. I couldn’t just get up and go about my life for a few moments. I had to stop and just be, if that makes sense. Take a few moments to breathe before I went on with life as I know it. It was one of those traumatized at the hands of a book kind of moments.
It was an incredibly powerful and heart wrenching read with these characters that are so very strong even after being broken.
I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I am dying to get my hands on it NOW.
I have another series (Dark Grove Plantation: The Complete Series) that I bought from Julia that I was dive into so I have my Julia Sykes fix while I am waiting.
Dear Julia, I cannot find another word that can adequately describe this book but amazing. I know I keep using it, but you did an absolutely amazing – wait, phenomenal job! on this book. You are a talent that everyone needs to know about!

Knight is the fourth book in the Impossible series, and I was insanely excited for this one. Our male lead in this one is a character I’d come to enjoy in the prior books, and I could not wait to see how his story played out. Add in the fact this one sounded darker than the prior books, and I was more than happy to dive in.
As I’d hoped, Knight is the darkest of the first four Impossible books. This one deals with a really heavy topic and takes us to places the prior books did not. It is not the darkest book I have ever read – I have read more dark romances than I can recall – but this was more in line with my usual standard than the prior books have been.
Although plenty happens throughout Knight, it is a slower book than the prior Impossible books. However, it introduces a number of things that will play an important role in the rest of the series. With things building so slowly, you find yourself lost to the story and unaware of just how deep into it you have been sucked. I admit there were times when I felt like things did drag a bit, but the story made it more than worth it.
As much as I enjoyed the story, I’m going to be honest and say I did not feel the chemistry in this one. I really enjoyed watching the way things developed, but the relationship did not hit me in the same way the relationships did in the prior book. I think, with Knight, we could have done with some scenes from both points of views. Receiving only one point of view made it difficult to appreciate some aspects of the story, and I feel like I would have enjoyed the relationship between the two a lot more had I been inside both characters’ heads.
Overall, though, this was another fun read. It may not have been my favourite couple, but it was certainly the darkest of the stories (a fact I really enjoyed).
