Britton “Brit” Rollins, former Army Ranger, is a covert operative for Black Knights Inc. He masquerades as a motorcycle mechanic to keep his true job a secret. Brit cannot seem to shake his growing interest in a certain blond federal agent. When his ex-con brother shows up unexpectantly, Britton agrees to help clear his name. Even if it puts him at odds with Agent O’Toole. Can Brit convince Julia to help him find the traitor within her Bureau’s ranks? Or will this fiasco reveal the truth about Black Knight Inc.?
Federal agent Julia O’Toole is damned good at her job. She
could never get the handsome mechanic at Black Knights Inc from her mind, or
her fantasies. When a case falls into her lap, it gives Julia a valid reason to
approach Britton. She suspects there is more to the man and the shop than it
appears. While chasing after Britton and his brother, Julia learns there is a
traitor in the FBI. Will Julia jeopardize her hard-earned career for Britton? Can
she convince the stubborn man to take a chance with them?
Britton is an adrenaline-junkie. There is only one risk
he dares not take (or touch): love. I understand his hesitation of losing his
heart to someone. The mind conjures all types of thoughts and reasons to
protect itself from being further hurt. What I adore the most about Britton is
his willingness to help his brother. Some family members write their kin off
once they go to prison. Brit knows his brother is uncapable of murder. Petty
crime, yes. Murder, no.
Julia is a tough-as-nails woman. A necessity to carve out
a niche for herself in a male-dominated occupant. Julia does not allow male
egos, or testosterone, stand in her way of doing her job. I like how Julia
remains open-minded when presented with new facts and evidence. She does not
close her mind to the possibility of one’s innocence, as some agents would. While
they think of elevating their career, Julia wants to uphold justice. I find
that admirable of her character.
BLACK MOON RISING is the third book in Julie Ann Walker’s
romantic suspense series, BLACK KNIGHT INC: RELOADED – a spinoff from her popular
BLACK KNIGHT INC books. It is not necessary to read the prior series before
this one. But boy, oh boy would you miss out! Boss, Becky, and Ozzie,
characters from BKI, make frequent appearances throughout the entire book. It
is always great to see the original gang again! I really miss them! And we
cannot forget the resident Black Knight’s mascot, Peanut!
In my opinion, it is not a Black Knights book without
Ozzie. I have always adored his character from the very beginning! His antics and quips make me laugh every time.
I always fist bump the air when his character makes an appearance. Ozzy really
is my ideal soul mate, lol. Though, I bet my husband would frown being replaced
so easily by a fictional character! And his love for 80’s music and hairbands! Am
I a nerd for knowing the two bands (Tesla and Skid Row) mentioned, especially
the songs. I even started humming the melodies. Okay, I itched to find the two
songs on my Ipod to listen to them.
There is one thing I am dying to know. Kerberos. Will we
learn who they are in future books… Or (hint, hint), is there a possibility of
a spin off about the hacker group? I would be down with that! Especially, if
the Black Knight boys, both new and old, will be involved.
Julie Ann Walker never fails to enrapture me with her characters
and books. I always grin in eager anticipation whenever a new Black Knights Inc
ARC hits my inbox. I can be sicker than a dog or dead tired, but that does not
stop me from delving head-first into her book. Now to wait for Hew and Sabrina’s
book! The wait is going to kill me!
