Black Knight by Rina Kent
5.0
Black Knight is the 4th installment in the "Royal Elite" series and this story features Xander and Kimberly's book. I will be honest in that I do wish that we saw more in the events in what happened between them in the previous books features the trilogy with Aiden. However, I was pleased that I didn't have to go through a whole trilogy to get these two to their HEA either haha I will admit that I could probably forgive this author mostly anything as her books are like catnip for me and I just can't seem to get enough of them.
In this installment, we get a few flashbacks, so no worries if you don't care for flashbacks, is there are just a couple of times it happens. I am normally not a fan of flashbacks, but I was on board with how it was done here. I was really intrigued in seeing how this story grew between the pair. I did love seeing the childhood scenes so that we could get some backstory between these two. You sense that the hero learns something and this is why he pushes Kim away, these alpha males and not being able to handle truths very well haha but through a course of Events, Kim and Xan are brought back together and forced to face the truth together and find their way to the HEA.
I really adored how this story implemented this conflict and resolved it. It was done in such a unique and interesting way, I have never seen this type of conflict resolved like this and I really liked it. This author definitely knows how to keep me on my toes. That is for sure. I also really enjoyed the way in that the author portrayed the character growth especially in regards to the mental illness that is showcased. I felt like she represented it very well. And I just really related to the heroine especially so well (she even had weigh gain stretch marks---which I NEVER see in romance, the heroines always have the perfect skin haha).
Overall I was so entertained by Black Knight and was delighted to see how it was delivered and it came out as such a win of a read for me!
