Pagan Souls of Cherokee MC #3

Knight's Bright Eyes

Rate this book
Knight’s life completely changes once he finds out he has a daughter. The months he spends learning to be one and forming a relationship with her has been bumpy but good. He loves her and his club. The only thing his life is missing is female companionship. He has doubts he’ll ever have anything permanent, but he’s come to accept his daughter is his priority, not his love life. A new club endeavor brings a woman to his notice. Only he gets the wrong idea about her and runs her off. When he finds out he’s wrong, he insists on making it right. And making it right means protecting her, even if she won’t tell him who he and his club need to protect her from. Natalya seemingly has it all. She’s the daughter of a very wealthy man. She can live a life of leisure and that’s what Knight mistakenly thinks. If only her life was as rosy as everyone assumed. Her run-in with Knight leads to more interactions with him and his club, even though she tries to push them away. It’s not safe for her or them if they continue to associate. When the club finds her hurt and in danger, they insist she accept their help. This puts her in Knight’s sights daily. As they get to know each other and she forgives him for their first encounter, they, along with Knight’s daughter, Cara, become a family in the making. Only there’s more than one person who has their own agenda and wants Natalya for their own reasons. Knight and the Pagans have more than one battle to win in order to eliminate their enemies and let Natalya remain forever more Knight’s Bright Eyes, so they can form a family.

Ciara St. James

An avid reader with a passion for romances that finally got the chance to write one of her own. The rest is history. Not what anyone thought for someone who has been a nurse and in healthcare management for years.

I sit writing as my two fur babies, my pugs Kujo and Khaos, impatiently wait for me to get done so they can lay on me as their human sofa!

My children are finally considered to be adults, so it's me, the hubby and the dogs.

I'm a iced tea drinking fiend who has insomnia, more ideas than I know what to do with, and a need to write them down.

Not too bad for a girl from rural Ohio in the foothills of Appalachia that grew up in a town of about 4000 people.

Boring. Sex, sex and more sex. There is a tiny plot but it doesn’t really come to anything.

Knight/Elijah is a single dad to Cara after her mother who was a bunny cleared off and left her. Elijah has got a lot of hang ups about women after he was used by two different women for sex. So when he sees Natalya at an open event the club has organised, he mistakenly judges her as being like his two girlfriends. He thinks as her dad is wealthy that she’s slumming it and is a d*ck to her.

When Natalya is badly beaten, and is being threatened by someone, Elijah realises that he misjudged her and wants her in his life. Yawn…. Personally I wouldn’t ever speak to him again after what he said to her! When he finds out that she’s in danger and is being threatened he moves her into his house. HE MOVES A VIRTUAL STRANGER INTO HIS HOUSE THAT HE SHARES WITH HIS LITTLE GIRL! 😱😡 He doesn’t know anything about Natalya but he wants her so that’s okay then???

Of course they fall in love and have endless sex everywhere. Yawn…. The danger that Natalya is in doesn’t really come to much after dragging it out the whole book. It never explains how certain things happen, and it just feels really rushed. Probably so they can go back to the sex.

One thing this author is really bad at, and she does it in every book. Natalya and his daughter both need trauma counselling which of course isn’t even suggested.

As I’m suffering from insomnia, this book was okay in the middle of the night. In the day it got on my nerves how bad it was.

Mistakes, assumptions and amends

Ms. St. James has done it again. Three more characters for this romance reader’s heart to adore in Knight’s Bright Eyes (Pagan Souls of Cherokee MC Book 3).
How could you not fall for Knight? This bad boy biker is one stand up dude that melts your heart when he interacts with his daughter, Clara. What an absolute sweet little darling! Just adorable and endearing! Then there’s Natalya. Misunderstood by Knight, he makes some really nasty assumptions which he quickly comes to realize how very wrong he is. I just love how this author crafts her characters and Natalya is by no means an exception. Natalya is a sweetheart that’s determined to be independent and has persisted in that endeavor. The plot of her antagonist is determined to undo everything she’s worked for to their own benefit, taking matters to the extreme. Those matters are exactly what puts Natalya on the MCs radar and shines a light on her for Knight. It’s an instant revelation for Knight and a slow acceptance for Natalya. I so enjoy how the MC as a whole comes to her aid despite the danger and threat. The suspense leading up to the unveiling of all the manipulations and vile plans kept me enthralled while my heart thundered and pulse pounded!
On top of all that good stuff, there’s the burgeoning love between Knight and Natalya as well as between Clara and Natalya. It’s family sweet perfection from the get go. I’d be remiss if I didn’t also mention the chemistry! Knight and Natalya burn the pages up, singeing and electrifying each other setting the steam factor high.
Overall, Knight’s Bright Eyes completely captivated me from the first. As entertaining as it held me enthrall with suspense and steam. As expected, Knight and Natalya get their HEA. Most exciting and promising of all, there’s more mini Pagan Souls joining this MC.
I read an ARC of this book and am voluntarily sharing my review.

Knight’s Bright Eyes is book 3 in the Pagan Souls of Cherokee MC series written by the talented author Ciara St.James. Once again, Ciara delivers another mouthwatering installment in an already amazing series. This is Knight (Elijah Dalton) the Secretary of the Pagan Souls & Bright Eyes (Natalya LeBlanc) she’s the daughter of a very wealthy man and sexy Russian translator. They had a very bad first encounter at a party in the Clubhouse. After a second chance it was proved that they had undeniable connection and crazy hot chemistry. Knight's little daughter Cara adores Nat. The plot has it all; drama, action, fantastic characters, suspense, mistakes, threats, danger, intrigue, strong men, sassy ladies, second chances, heat, romance, enough tension to keep me invested throughout and absolutely loved the HEA. Can't wait for more!!!

The Pagan Soul boys sure know how to put their foot in their mouth all the way up to the knee. Knight is ugly to Natalya when they first meet. The past clouded his judgement and he made a huge mistake. He ends up having to work a little to get Natalya to give him a chance, once he learns the truth. She might seem like she has a cushy life but appearances are very, very deceiving. Fortunately, having the Pagan Souls at her back and Knight by her side, completely changes her life for the better. The danger is still lurking, though and it is a race against time to save her and Knight's little girl. I was completely wrapped up in their story, completely wrecked by the anxiety. Such a great story, what a love they share!

Loved it

Knight and natalya story starts off very rocky cause like his prez he speaks before knowing all the facts and let's his past over shadow the his feeling towards a young rich girl and her motives to being at the clubhouse but a visit to see the prez women bringing things to light and has knight rethinking his opinion on what he thought he knew and then things heat up between them but what's finding the love of your love in a mc without a dangerous life threatening situation that needs all hands on deck to keep her safe. Knight is a great character and is now the father to a adorable little girl just as he is figuring out parenthood he needs to leave how to be a partner in a relationship. This is another well written mc romance by Ciara st James

Good Read

Knight’s Bright Eyes is the third book in the Pagan Souls of Cherokee MC series and follows Knight as he lets his past cloud his judgement when he meets Natalya which causes a big misunderstanding, especially when he realise there’s more to Natalya that meets the eye.

I enjoyed reading this book, the story was good and I liked how as much as Natalya tried to deny needing helping from Knight and the Pagans, they still strong armed their way in, in that alpha male way they always seem to do. I found the characters to be quite likeable and really grew to love them by the end.

Overall, this was another good read, with alpha males and strong females and if that’s your cup of tea then I would recommend giving it a read.

always a good story but always predictable

Ciara’s stories are always great. At the same all the stories are the same :(. Old lady/ GF kidnapped club has to go rescue them, woman abused/ beat rescued by the club then claimed then kidnapped etc etc. Her series are hard to put down, but it would be nice to have a different story line. Characters are always amazing. The part of receiving her father’s money left hanging, his illegal business left hanging, his legitimate business left hanging….if you are going to have part of the story as a major point it would be helpful if it is closed out and not left hanging.

Read this book!

Do yourself a favor and read all of Ciara's series! Knight and Natalya are the focus of this book and they have an adventurous road to their happily ever after. Add in Knight's daughter Cara and you will fall in love with this family; I certainly did. They meet and get off on.the wrong foot but once things are cleared up between them it is a case of insta-love. Together they explore steamy intimacy. There is a threat against Natalya in the form of her father. In fact it is his actions that brings her under the protection of the club. I can't wait to read the next book in sequence of the reading order.

Excellent book!!

I've been super excited for this book. Waiting to see how things unfolded with Knight finding out he was Cara's dad has been hard, lol!! Finally, the wait is over, and I wasn’t disappointed he's a wonderful dad and Cara is the best little girl!! Knight found the perfect partner and mother for Cara with Natayla. Natalya wasn’t a pushover and being raised by such a horrible father she is an amazing caring woman. This was an excellent addition to this already amazing series!!

Single dad finding his one

When Knight sees and speaks to Natalya for the first time he doesn’t make a good impression that’s for sure. He thinks the worst due to his past relationships but realizes he was way off. Reluctantly Natalya agrees to the protection of the club when they find out what is going on in her life. Knight falls fast and so does his Buttercup, Cara for the woman with the Bright Eyes. Another one down…Twisted is next.

When Knight sees Natalya at an event being sweet to his daughter, his hackles are up. He thinks that Natalya is another biker hanger on using his daughter to get him in bed. Knight couldn't be more wrong and when he finds out she has been beaten, he is the first one to try and gain her trust. Finding out she is in danger, Knight steps in. He knows he wants to protect her but he also wants her to be his ol' lady and mom to his daughter. Can he keep her protected or will it only put his club in danger?

I can't say that I liked Knight in the beginning, he was a big jerk but he rebounded as the story went on. I liked Natalya and felt bad for her as she is conditioned to be worried about putting others in danger. Another great read from this author, looking forward to the other characters finding their match.

5 star ⭐️

This man has got to be one of my favourite men in this series,Knight is a single dad to an adorable little girl,there’s a misunderstanding when he first meets Natalya so when the club offers help she’s reluctant at first because of knight and she doesn’t want the club on the radar of her horrible father. The club steps up and they get their happily ever after. Really enjoyed this book, love this series 🖤❤️

Knight’s Bright Eyes by Ciara St James

This book is Knight and Natalya’s story and the third book in thePagan Souls series. This is about Knight and his daughter Cara whom we met in Dare’s book. Knight met Natalya at a community gathering and thought that she was a rich women that wanted to bad a biker and he couldn’t have been more wrong. That attitude made them getting to know each other harder. But in the end they got their HEA but Knight had to work for it. Great read!!

book 3

I love this series more with each book, a total fantasy ride in to the world of sexy tatted, muscular bikers, with legit jobs and businesses, that fall hard and fast for their soul mate the second they lay eyes on them. Knight is no different except he didn’t want to be attracted to a “little rich girl” looking for a walk on the wild side…. He was wrong of course. Natalya is the victim of familial domestic violence and controlling parent.

Absolutely loved reading Knights book. I was looking forward to his book after reading Dares book & find out Cara was his daughter.

This book was everything & more. I had my suspicions about Natalya mom being a mail order bride but didn’t turn out that way. But not to give anything away. This book is a must read. Lots of twists & justice was served. Can’t wait to read Twisted book. I look forward to Hulks book in the future.

Finally!!!

I feel like I have waited a lifetime for Knight and Cara! I'm a sucker for a single dad and Knight did not disappoint! Natalya is a strong confident woman who becomes a marshmallow around the most beautiful little girl 😍 so glad she found her Knight and a hea in the process!

amazing

I love all Ciara’s books, I’m always sad when I finish one as I have to wait for the next to come out. Knights book was amazing, it has angst, heat and so much going on I couldn’t put it down. I really like Natalya’s quiet strength she was a great female lead. I can’t wait to read twisted’s story x

I love this series and the ones before this. We have all these clubs come help when they need it. Knight needed help protecting his woman and they came. He has everything now and more. His family is safe, Natalyas dad is dead, and Caras mom can't come back to hurt her. All is good.💙💚

knight’s bright eyes ( pagan souls of Cherokee MC book 3)

Great storyline about Knight and Natalya romance. Knight doesn’t trust Natalya’s feelings towards him and Cara (daughter). Natalya had a physically abusive childhood with her father. I enjoyed reading about the other MC relationships in this novel.

A Great Story

I was so happy to see knight got his own story after finding out he was Cara's biological father in Dare's book. And to see how Ciara written such another amazing story of another Alpha finding his HEA & how much he not only fell for her but also how much he loved his child made it such an enjoyable read while sitting on the beach too lol.

Good Series but….

I am enjoying the series but one thing is interesting— all 3 of the first books have a bit of a focus on one specific intimate act. It’s beginning to become almost a running joke rather than a spicy tidbit. I hope this isn’t true of the whole series as it is starting to be a giggle and eye roll, pulling you out of the story.

A crazy baby mama and a psycho dad make for an interesting storyline.

Their first meeting didn't go well but the road to happily ever after was steamy and great. Good flow and well loved characters make this another 5 star read.

Great story

Knight's Bright Eyes was a great read - Knight makes assumptions about Natalya but soon tries to make up for acting like a fool when she needs help, and the entire club has her back.Definitely more to this story, and well worth reading. Love this author!
