Description

A secret identity mixed in with forced proximity on top of red-hot chemistry? What could go wrong? The Black Knights are back and better than ever! FBI agent Grace Beacham is on the run. After an operation to bring down a Russian disinformation campaign goes sideways and ends in her partner’s death, the Kremlin has sent its most notorious assassin to kill her. Not knowing who to trust inside the Bureau, Grace is forced to call on the one man who might be able to save her. The one man she hasn’t been able to forget. BKI operative Hunter Jackson walked away from Grace Beacham three years ago. And he hasn’t looked back. But when his cell phone suddenly jangles to life with Grace on the other end begging for his help, he doesn’t hesitate to ride to her rescue. Grace is no stranger to men like Hunter. Men who are devastatingly attractive and in love with their perilous professions and no-strings-attached lifestyles. As the two of them go off-grid to uncover the truth behind what happened on her last assignment, she fears her life might not be the only thing on the line. With Hunter, her heart could be in danger too. "A first-rate thrill ride."—Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review for Thrill Ride "This razor-sharp, sensual, and intriguing tale will get hearts pounding"—Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review for Wild Ride "Deft characterization, skillful pacing, touches of humor, and red-hot love scenes rev up this highly recommended roller-coaster." —Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review for In Rides Trouble

    This book continues with the Black Knights Inc. series. Hunter and Grace are exceptionally partners in this story, and have found a way to make a life together despite personal struggles. Could not stop reading this book and I can’t wait for the next episode of the Black Knights Inc series.
  • Great to be back!

    I loved the original crew so I have to admit I was a little hesitant to jump into this story. But I loved it! It was great to see some of the old characters. The storyline was just as fast paced as before with many of the same feels. Highly recommend!

    Reading this book was like hearing from old friends. I loved catching up on BKI the original crew and being introduced to BKI 2.0. This group is just as intriguing as the last and the artful cursing had me literally laughing out loud. As always, these books are suspenseful, page turning, sexy (wow) and hilarious. My favorite combination and I can’t wait for rest of them.
  • Action packed sexy ride!

    Loved! I absolutely loved this fast paced fun and sexy book! I have read most of the Black Knights previous series and loved it! This series brings back some of the characters in the original series for cameos and introduces a whole new set of characters. I truly loved the story line and cannot absolutely not wait for the next book in the series. It was a fun, sexy exciting read that I did not want to end.

    Grace Beacham is an FBI agent on the run. She’s been framed for the murder of her partner, as he was killed with her pocket knife. The other agents on the case are convinced she’s guilty; meanwhile, there’s a Russian assassin on her trail. To escape the assassin and to give her time to ferret out the criminal mastermind, she contacts Hunter Jackson, a member of the ‘reloaded’ BKI Team. The new president is a woman, and she reconstitutes a functioning BKI Team populated with her own group of chosen warriors. Sure, Boss and Becky are still around, with two little girls in tow. But this book gives us a glimpse at the new BKI group, and gives us a deeper look into the lives of Hunter and his friend Sam, also a BKI operative. This story gives readers a glimpse of Hunter’s backstory, and the things that made him the man he is now. It also gives us the story of Grace’s past, and introduces us to her family. The overall feel of this story is very current. It exposes some of the issues that are relevant to the way people can be manipulated to think certain ways, without any knowledge that they are being manipulated. The story is well-written and fast-paced. The tension increases when needed, and recedes when other things are happening. This book is fun, energetic, and poignant at times. I’m thrilled that there are more BKI stories! It was a sad time when the prior series ended, but this story begins to fill that void!
  • They’re finally back!!!!!

    OMG. They’re finally back. The new crew mixing with the old crew in Julie Ann Walkers famous BKI world. Grace and Hunter have worked together before so when she finds herself in a pickle she calls him. Hunter rides to her rescue and then whisks her off to a safe house (his safe house). As you can imagine being in close proximity turns up the heat and things develop between them. Unfortunately innocents are caught in the crossfire. Once the mission is over will these two find their way back to each other or will it be like last time where they go their separate ways? It was great seeing Boss and Becky from the original BKI series in this book and I’m looking forward to seeing more of the original crew pop in to help with missions.
  • Highly recommend

    This is the kind of book/storyline/writing that keeps me reading. I love that this author decided to delve back into the world of The Black Knights Inc. The first series was/is wonderful and this first book in the 2.0 version of BKI did not disappoint. I love all the action, the brotherhood and the romance that comes with each book. Definitely going on my keeper shelf, highly recommended.
