First of all let me just say that I was gonna read another book but I found myself waiting in a line without my kindle and I remembered I had this book on my phone so I gave it a try....
I should have known ... being a KA book I got HOOKED!
I just simply couldn't put it down... it's definitely KA style but with an erotic twist...
I found Knight (awesome name BTW) to be the epitome of an alpha male... Bossy as hell, self assured, arrogant,powerful, badass...sexy... scary...the whole enchilada!
And An ...more

Shelves: erotic-romance

3 ½ stars. Above average, but I wanted more story/plot.

There’s some repetitiveness, but I didn’t mind because it’s all this good Kristen Ashley stuff, which I love. The gorgeous guy is sooo devoted to one girl and giving her tons of attention and protection (and expensive gifts). It’s fun being her. As to her - she’s a wimpy placid little thing, but hard-working with a good attitude. He’s controlling. He speaks like KA’s motorcycle guys. He does not use the word “If.” He frequently omits pronoun 3 ½ stars. Above average, but I wanted more story/plot.

As to her - she’s a wimpy placid little thing, but hard-working with a good attitude. He’s controlling. He speaks like KA’s motorcycle guys. He does not use the word “If.” He frequently omits pronouns and verbs. Instead of “You come here.” He says “Here.” It’s fun - and confusing.

Anya has very little money so she buys cheap things and on-sale things. I liked the way she would say to herself my cheap (but cute) purse, or my inexpensive (but cute) sandals. It’s her positive attitude.

Lots of graphic, explicit, detailed sex scenes. Anya learns that she likes being punished with spankings and strap whippings. It was odd to hear her call him “Daddy.” You need to get used to that, and be ok with it.

The hero is in a bad-guy-business, described in Spoiler below.

TYPOS:
Some reviewers complained about typos and errors. I did not notice any. There might be different ebook versions out there.

THE SERIES:
This is the first book in The Unfinished Hero Series. There will be at least five books. They can be read as stand alones. The sequels continue with more stories about characters who work for Knight or have a connection to him. I’ve read the first three. I like this one the best.

DATA:
Narrative mode: 1st person Anya. Kindle count length: 4,977 (285 pages). Swearing language: strong including religious swear words. Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes: about 10. Setting: current day Denver, Colorado. First ebook published: 2012. Copyright: 2013. Genre: erotic romance. ...more

Knight (Unfinished Hero, #1) by Kristen Ashley

I have mixed emotions about this book. I'm mostly a Kristen Ashley fan--enjoying some series more than others. She has a distinctive writing style that takes a little getting used to but once the reader finds the rhythm is entertaining. This book has a darker hero--anti-hero according to the author. There are D/s themes explored--vividly. Knight has a sense of honor and duty that redeems him and while the heroine is mostly secure in her own agency, there is a need in her for the things Knig ...more
