Review:
HELL ON
WHEELS is the first book in Julia Ann Walker's new Black Knights Inc. series and
what an amazing new series this is!!!
I am a
huge fan of romantic suspense so when I came across these books on Amazon, I
knew I had to read them. I was extremely
lucky to get ARCs of the first three books in the series and I am so happy I
did. Once I finished the first book I
couldn't wait to start the second.
I
ended up reading all three books in 2 days.
I am a sucker for tortured heroes and the "big brothers best
friend" relationship so this book was right up my alley.
Black
Knights Inc is a group of ex-military men working as a top secret private
agency under the guise of a motorcycle shop that is owned by Becky
"Rebel" Reichert, who is one of the team members younger sister.
This is
the story of Nate "Ghost"
Weller and his best friend Grigg Morgan's baby sister, Ali Morgan. Nate has
always been attracted to Ali since the very first day he met her. He was also threatened by Grigg that very
moment he met Ali that Grigg would kill him if he ever touched her LOL. So, Nate has always tried to limit his time
near Ali so she would never find out how he felt. Now that Grigg is gone, Nate still feels
obligated to not betray his best friend and stay away from Ali. Nate is also tormented by Griggs death and
feels extremely guilty. After delivering
the news of Grigg's death to Ali and her parents, Nate and Ali share comfort
with each other. He knows now, more than
ever that anything between him and Ali could never be, because when she finds
out the truth about what really happened to Grigg, she'll never forgive
him. Nate decides to just leave Ali
alone. That is until Ali shows up at the
Black Knights Headquarters and needs protection.
Ali Morgan
is an innocent kindergarten teacher. She
has always been attracted to Nate, her older brothers best friend. But Nate has never even given Ali a second
glance or has barely even held a full conversation with her, leading her to
believe that he doesn't really like her.
After Ali is mugged and attacked she decides to go to the Black Knights
Headquarters and ask Nate for his help.
Ali doesn't know much about Black Knights or what they do because Grigg
could never tell her the full truth, but she knows her brother was involved in
something. A big something that has now
gotten her on the bad guys hit list and only Nate will be able to find out what
Grigg was involved in and help keep her safe.
The
chemistry between Nate & Ali was scorching.
I couldn't wait for Nate to finally give into his feelings. Ali has always known Nate to be surly and a
man of very few words and emotions. As
Nate starts to break down, Ali is surprised to find out that he actually likes
her, and is surprised when Nate reveals his true feelings to her.
The story
of Nate and Griggs past and the truth about what really happened was
heartbreaking. I was in tears when we
finally find out the truth, and the horrors of what Nate and Grigg had endured
and what Nate was keeping secret from Ali.
We also
learn a lot about the secondary characters and I fell in love with them as
well. There's Frank "Boss"
Knight who runs Black Knights Inc.. We
learn that Frank is secretly pining for Becky but will never allow himself to
make a move on her for many reasons, two of which are, he's 13 years older than
her and her boss. I instantly fell in
love with Ethan "Ozzie" Sykes who is the light hearted, geeky computer
tech of the group. There's also Becky's
older brother, Bill "Wild Bill" Reichert and Dan "The Man"
Currington who is married to Patti, Black Knights secretary. There is a horrible, heart breaking event
that occurs with Dan & Patti that had me crying my eyes out again!!
All in
all, this was a great start to a new series and it has now become one of my top
favorite series. I cannot wait to get my
hands on more Black Knights Inc. books!!
I give
HELL ON WHEELS 5 out of 5 stars
