Knight is book fifteen in the Damaged Devils series

This series has really been a ride. I wasn’t sure what Royal’s deal was but I was absolutely intrigued. I enjoyed his relationship with Knight. Now looking forward to the next book

I feel like it’s been a while since I really liked one of this author’s book. But this one I actually really liked. I loved both the characters. They were so sweet together. The only thing I didn’t like was desperate ass Cannon but he wasn’t a MC so he didn’t influence my rating at all. His book is next though and I’m not gonna lie I hope he’s still miserable for at least half the book lol.

‘Royal was like an animal protecting his food‘ – an exciting new episode in this mesmerizing series!

Popular author Charity Parkerson is a prolific, award winning author. Her genre is romance, in a plethora of forms! In this series Damaged Devils her characters are ‘crime lords, assassins, and sociopaths who find their hearts.’ She provides an introduction before launching this tale: ‘Knight lives by his name from the military to taking in a friend in need. No good deed goes unpunished. It started when an adorable pink-haired sprite slipped into Knight’ life. Before that moment, Knight hadn’t realized how much a person could love their best friend. Unfortunately, that friendship has him knee deep in the world of crime. Even more unfortunate for him, this predicament has Knight incapable of staying away from the most dangerous man he’s ever met....Royal had his emotions stripped from him years ago. He’d been trained to do one thing: kill….Its a puzzle Royal has to solve before the clock runs out and Knight learns the truth…’ Curious? Then delve into this soaring story and discover!

With her inimitable flair for making her characters visual, Charity opens this novel as follows: ‘Bedroom eyes. Royal had never understood that saying before Knight. As he watched him through the scope of his high-powered rifle, that was exactly what he saw…Half nude and posing for his art class, every muscle flexed for Royal’s viewing pleasure…’ And with that degree of detail the story progresses with steam – and insights, a trademark for Charity’s finely spun stories. For complete enjoyment of this Book 15 of this series, roll back and read the other volumes, enhancing the electricity this story generates

Royal had his emotions stripped from him years ago. He’s been trained to do one thing: kill. For now, he’s doing what needs to be done to survive.

I love this series. It is dark and yet when these damaged men love someone they do it completely and obsessively. The story of Knight and Royal was a very enjoyable story. The addition of Cannon was fun and added colour to the story. Easy to read feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

I’m going to cry when this series is over

Royal and Knight made my heart swell with happiness, these two needed each other so much and the happiness they found within each other jumped from the page. Every second of this book was so good and I am so sad there’s only one book left to go. This is definitely a comfort series for me and I can’t wait to see what Charity does next.

🤍 My favorite quote 💚

Royal shook his head. He looked exasperated. “What am I supposed to do with you?” “Keep me, I hope.” Royal snatched him from the mattress and squeezed him so hard, he lost his breath. He rolled from side to side, hugging Knight the way a child would a stuffed animal. “You’re mine. Forever and ever and ever.”

Satisfying

I liked Knight and Royal. I especially liked Royal. While he had this dark aura surrounding him, he really just needed someone to see past it and love him for who he is, cracks and all. Knight was definitely that guy.

Cannon was just awful and I don’t know if I even want a redemption arc with him. What a terrible human he presented himself as throughout this whole book.

Also, can we get some regular names? Knight? Royal? Cannon? Snow? Pink? I can’t even begin to imagine someone calling out those names during sexy times without laughing.

Overall, I really enjoyed Knight and Royal’s story. Both of them truly deserved their HEA.
