Dark Sexy Knight


DARK SEXY KNIGHT (MODERN FAIRYTALE) BY KATY REGNERY



Release Date:  June 5, 2016


SYNOPSIS

From New York Times bestseller Katy Regnery comes another timeless tale of love everlasting!
Loosely inspired by the legend of Camelot, Dark Sexy Knight tells the story of dinner theater knight Colt Lane, who meets down-on-her-luck Verity Gwynn on the worst day of her life. Evicted from their home, Verity and her special-needs brother, Ryan, must find jobs or risk being separated. Colt, who is the furthest-possible thing from a white knight in real life, comes to their unlikely rescue, quickly cementing his place in Verity’s heart.

Colt has dark, deeply buried secrets that keep his smile hidden and his eyes down, which has kept people away . . . until he meets Verity, who seems immune to his gruff manners and taciturn ways. The more time Colt spends with her, the more he longs for her sweetness in his life and yearns to be the knight in shining armor she so desperately needs. Certain he will lose her if she learns the truth about his past, he must decide if he can trust her with his yesterday in order to build a beautiful tomorrow.

REVIEW:  DARK SEXY KNIGHT (MODERN FAIRYTALE) BY KATY REGNERY

Dark Sexy KnightDark Sexy Knight by Katy Regnery

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Upon first look I was not impressed. Colt's sarcasm was off putting and aggravating. Verity was too naive and trusting. That did not bode well in my opinion. However, as I started to delve deeper I started to get what the author was doing. Ms. Regnery was building up to the meat of the story and boy was it hearty. Verity's doe eyed innocence started to grow on me when it became obvious how devoted she was to her brother's well-being. Often at the expense of her own. Colt was an array of contradictions. It was hard to predict his actions from one moment to the next. What it boiled down to is that he was a lost soul with a good heart and hid it all behind an acidic personality. The seriousness of the story was balanced out by the absurdity of the references to Camelot (dinner theater). Had I known how it all would end, I would have never doubted the direction of the story. Beauty can come from darkness. Not your average love story but it awed me and humbled me in so many ways.

REVIEW:  HOT CHOCOLATE BY CHARLOTTE DE PACE

Hot ChocolateHot Chocolate by Charlotte De Pace

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Hot Chocolate has all the makings an old school romance. Ms. De Pace is a new author to me but she understands what appeals and what doesn't. Although not as modern a romance as I would normally read, she got her point across.
