Knight's Obsession (Sanctuary Falls #2)
Katie Reus
Blurb:
Someone killed her friend…
Clover is
convinced that a low-life criminal killed her friend—and she refuses to let it
go. Even if that means walking into a nest of vipers. She knows how to wear a
mask. She’s been doing it most of her life. So she gets a job at the man’s bar
to study his operation and find out what happened to her friend. To her
never-ending annoyance, she’s forced to turn to the irresistible hacker who
tempts her on every level—even if she can never have him.
And she’s going
to bring them to justice…
Micah Knight
isn’t sure when it happened, but he’s fallen hard for the innocent-looking
Clover who’s anything but. Unfortunately she won’t listen to reason, won’t let
him just do his job and investigate the man she thinks killed her friend.
Making things even more complicated, the suspect is an informant for the Feds,
so they have to tread carefully. But it turns out the truth is far bigger and
more dangerous than either of them could have imagined. And it’s going to take
everything they have to survive the coming storm.

Review:
I
love a good romance that develops and carries over from one story to
another. We first met Clover and Micah
when their siblings found love in the first in the new series by Katie Reus and
I knew I just had to have their book.
When we finally get to read their story, we know immediately that their
path to love will not be a simple one. Nothing beats a good murder mystery but
there were so many twists and turns in this one that I almost lost track of
everything going on more than once. The skill it takes for an author to not
only come up with a plot this in depth and complicated but lead readers through
the maze and ultimately to the end, without losing us and still give us a
believable romance along the way is nothing to sneeze at. I am thrilled I was able
to enjoy this story before it was released and get to experience Knight’s
Obsession before the masses. Clover was an intense and stubborn character, with
a determination to do what she felt was right, even if it put her in danger,
and she was unwilling to give up on her friend that she knew was in trouble. I
liked getting to know her more and seeing her find her footing as she
investigated alongside Micah and they dug into mystery after mystery until they
found the full truth of everything, they’d gotten themselves into. Micah was an awesome character with depths
that were impossible to reach until he finally allowed Clover to know him fully
and he opened himself up. He has hidden
parts of his past for a long time, but he knows that Clover is the woman for him,
and he is unwilling to lose her, whether to danger, her own stubbornness, or
his closed heart. There were so many
great side characters, and I am looking forward to finding out which sibling
gets their story next and seeing more of this crazy family and their
friends. Katie Reus is one of those authors
that can amaze us with supernatural beings, thrill use with dangerous spies, or
confuse us with deadly escapades, but she never fails to show us the most basic
need of any life remains love and the pursuit of finding it for ourselves.
Bring more Knights on, Katie!
