PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Walker wraps up the 12th and final installment of her Black Knights Inc. romantic suspense series (after Hot Pursuit) with a thrill ride of a plot and an impressive array of irresistible alpha males. Stoic Angel Agassi was forced to leave his old name, his old face, and his one true love to save the world (or at least keep Iranians from building a nuclear program). Smart, softhearted Interpol agent Sonya Butler has spent 10 years mourning Mark Risa, the tough-as-nails Mossad agent she believes died on the banks of the Seine. When she's planted in the home of an almost cartoonishly ruthless crime boss who's determined to build a nuclear bomb and take out part of Chicago, she comes face-to-face with Angel, a seemingly bad guy who inexplicably reminds her of Mark. But as everything goes topsy-turvy, questions arise: who is Angel, really, and is Sonya a turncoat or undercover? Walker delivers a hair-raising crisis at every turn, punctuated by steamy interludes and glimpses of the happily-ever-afters of all the previous protagonists. She ends her series on a high note, leaving her fans eager for whatever she embarks on next.
Customer Reviews
How do you say goodbye?
How do you say goodbye to a group that has been in your life for six years? I was so excited to finally get Angel’s book yet I was so sad that it was the last BKI book. I debated reading it as soon as it came out but I couldn’t bear to see it end. Sadly it has ended for me but what an ending. Holy cow it was great to see team members that we haven’t seen in awhile. I had missed Ghost and Rock but they were in the middle of all the action in this final book as they should be.
I loved the mystery and intrigue that was Angel. When the truth came out it was both relieving and heart breaking. I think deep down Sonya knew but didn’t want to really know. She is a strong woman and she didn’t want history to repeat itself. It nearly broke her the first time and she couldn’t do it again.
This book is definitely a must read. Having these operators in your lives will be entertaining, funny and at times frustrating. If you haven’t read the series I highly recommend you start at the beginning but it’s not necessary as these are all stand alone stories. The way Ms Walker ties things together yet leaves a dangling string is amazing. I’m looking forward to see if she revisits BKI in the future.
Exciting and Sexy
This highly anticipated book is a complete adrenaline rush! It's so exciting and engrossing that I could not stop reading until the end - it's that good! I highly recommend reading the entire series to get the full scope of the plot in this last book of the series where everything comes to a head and there is more than one happily ever after.
The characters are so well written that you feel what they feel and they run the gamut of emotions. Angel and Sonya have a past that is being tripped over in the present. How these two try and navigate a relationship while taking down a criminal mastermind is just as intense as the action of the story - which is brillant. It grabs you in the first few pages and never lets you go.
I absolutely loved this book and the BKI series!
Epic conclusion to the series
I have loved this series from the very first book. It always has a good story that is action packed with this band of brothers that I have come to know and love. The ending is bitter sweet for me, but I was thrilled that Ms. Walker left the door open.
Angel and Sonya's story is a second chance romance that is action packed. Angel has had to change his appearance for the greater good. He walked away from Sonya ten years ago as Marc, but now as Angel he intends to claim what he had lost. Sonya is tangled in Spider's web and when Angel walks in, she feels things she hasn't felt for ten years.
This epic conclusion to this story finally leads to the take down that we've all been waiting for in the kind of blazing glory that only BKI can deliver. We get a look at all of the couples we have come to know and love through the series. It has been quite the ride. Amazing series!
