Knock Knock by Nordika Night
5.0
"Knock, Knock" is the third and final installment in the "From Nothing" series by Nordika Night. What a ride it's been! I fell in love with Maddox and Devon in "Garron Park" and "Lot 62" and was intensely curious about the relationship between their sweet meddling brothers. In "Knock, Knock" we finally get a look into Nate and Xavi's lives. We pick up right where we left off, with the boys working and living in the boat shop and trying to figure out their new sexy feelings for each other. There's a lot of miscommunication at first, which was really odd because Nate and Xavi have been best friends forever who talk about everything. Eventually it all gets sorted, the truth comes out, and the sexy times begin.
But there's more to life than banging for these two. They grew up constantly in protection mode trying to care for their younger brothers. What happens when their brothers don't need them so intensely anymore? With Xavi's clock ticking as he gets older, he has to decide if the life he has is really the one he wants or if there's something missing. Nate on the other hand has to figure out what will make Xavi happy and fulfill his dreams.
We got to see many characters in this book, both new and old. They all added so much to the story and felt fully fleshed out. While there was a bit of miscommunication in the beginning, it didn’t overwhelm the story and frustrate me like the trope usually does. Where "Garron Park" and "Lot 62" were edgy, passionate, and intense, "Knock, Knock" is a gentle, swoony, seductive goodbye. I don’t want to include any quotes because I think you should go into this relatively blind. Trigger warnings should include mild violence, sh!tty parents, off-page child abu$e, and June bugs.
Listen, if you loved the first two books, I can almost guarantee you'll love this one too. Just remember this is about Nate and Xavi. Besties-to-lovers. Sweet lil golden retriever boys. The trailer park vibe is still the same, but the perspective is COMPLETELY shifted. Keep this in mind and you'll have a great time.
A massive thank you to Nordika Night for the ARC of this book.
