BLURB:

Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending.

Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower.

Sweet.

Caring.

Charitable.

Quiet.

Fake.

Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language.

Who taught her how to laugh.

To live.

To love.

Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero.

Gorgeous.

Athletic.

Rugged.

Popular.

Liar.

This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna.

But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore.

When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes.

Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy.

REVIEW:

As always L.J. Shen writes with so much emotion and knows what her readers want. I was a mess reading this book, I seriously had a love hate with the male lead, but it was all good because I knew what to expect of Knight and a child of a hot hole. The men in her stories are always damaged, full of angst, mad a the world of someone. But they are also vulnerable, mostly to the one women who just gets them. It can be read as a stand alone, but I would recommend reading at least the first book in the series to get some perspective of Knight and Vaughn, Luna isnt so much in the first book. However to get a better understanding of Knights parents, I would at least read their book in the Sinners of Saint series, because I feel everyone should know Dean and Rosie.

Broken Knight follows Luna Rexroth and Knight Cole, who grew up together, are neighbors, and just get each other. Ride or Die they say to each other. However Luna has been a "mute" since her birth mother left when she was a baby. Luna can talk but chooses not to because of her past. Knight is her protector her best friend and also wants her. Both over the years battle their emotions, battle their demons and also deal with the heartbreaking reality of parents who love them and abandon them.

This story will bring out the push and pull of your heart, you will love and hate the choices these two make over the course of the book. They will frustrate you with how much miscommunication their is, but its raw and real and they both have so much growth from so much pain. Prepare yourself to fall for these characters just like you fell for their parents.

Excerpt:

Right now I wanted to just be here in silence with my best friend. And somehow, I don’t know how, but Luna sensed it. So we sat there for what felt like two hours but was probably a lot less, until I opened my eyes again. Her eyes were closed, too. I watched her for a while.
When she opened her eyes, it felt like she took something away from me.
“Let’s jump,” she said.
“I’m quite fond of my limbs, Moonshine.”
“Stop being such a big baby.”
“Big, quarterback baby who just finished a football season in one piece and would like to keep all his body parts intact.”
She crawled out of the treehouse and settled on the branch. It was thick, but I doubted it could carry my muscular ass for more than a few seconds before snapping. I rolled my eyes and settled next to her. She slipped her hand in mine.
“Three, two, one.”
It was a short, sweet way down.
