Every time before starting a Bella Matthews’ book, I worry whether I will like it as much as the previous ones or whether these previous ones were some kind of exception. And every time I am happy when I realize at the very beginning that this is another book of hers, which I will devour in a very short time, and in the end I will not want it to end. "The Knockout" is no different.
✨Today is a new day and I'm living my life, not as the little girl afraid of flames, but as the oman who's waked through fire.✨
In the first five pages of chapter one, I already adored Ares and Grace as a couple. The insanely great attraction between them, the teases, the nicknames they had for each other, the understanding and conversations they had - all this only proved how perfect they are for each other and how, although their huge differences, they fit like two pieces of a puzzle. For this very reason, they did not feel as different from one another as I saw in the previous books in which they appeared. However, this should not confuse you that the author has now totally changed their already familiar images just to fit together. No, it just showed us how complex and well-built they are and in this book we are witnessing their thoughts and anguish, we do not see them through the eyes of other characters.
✨"How can you miss something you never had?"
"Oh, baby... Don't doubt for one single minute that you haven't been mine since the snowstorm."✨
However, do not be confused that all their scenes together are just cute or nice, because you will be really surprised by the absolute fire they were. I can tell you wit shaking legs that the chemistry, attraction and passion between them fueled the already raging fire burning during their erotic scenes.
✨"We're a really bad idea, god of war."
"We're the best fucking decision I've ever made."✨
But although it touches on the extremely important topic that you should put yourself first, and not try to please everyone and thus lose yourself, the book is presented in a very easy and pleasant way. Even this topic is approached in such a way as not to burden the reader, but only to absorb him even more in the already addictive and interesting story. That's what makes me admire Bella Matthews as an author with every subsequent book I read - how every time in seemingly light romantic stories she weaves such serious topics in such a masterful way that they do not seem superficially affected and do not make the book difficult to read.
Also, once again, I remain fascinated by the family, care and friendship that all the characters have created and maintained. The way they are there for each other, support one another, and would do anything for each other is simply priceless.
✨The scariest thing about crazy girls is they usually run in packs. If you think I'm a lot by myself, you should see me with my friends.✨
The ending is so sweet that it made me happy as a little child. Just like every other book by Bella Matthews I had read have made me.
A really wonderful book. Nothing was missing in the story, nothing was too much, and I think for now, "The Knockout" is my favorite in this series.
