My previous review got denied and I don’t have the time to make a new one again but in summary. I like it. It was better than expected.

This dark romance ripped me open and shoved me back together. My heart broke for the both of them and I was addicted to every moment. Compared to the previous books with Aiden and Elsa, this book was sweet. Tormented but sweet, and I adore Xander. They went through hell to find they're HEA but they did it, and they did it together. They're perfect for each other.Dark, possibly triggering topics, and bit of a slow burn on the spice but worth it. 18+ and highly recommended. I still plan to continue the other books in this series and the others connected to it.

Spice: 🌶🌶🌶🌶Plot: ★★★★★World-Building: ★★★★★ This book...sleep was completely irrelevant when it came to this book. I first found it while playing on an app called Moments, it's where they take books and turn them into a beautiful simulation game. Well, I barely made it through the first chapter and I knew that I had to buy the book instead of waiting for two chapters to be released every week. Not only that, but I HATE reading on a kindle, but I took that hit just so I could have this book in my hands even faster, you know what? It was worth it! This book is part of the Royal Elite series, and it is a dark and traumatic series. That's usually not my genre, but these characters are so well written and the author is absolutely amazing at adding in real-life situations and trauma. In these books, you can always count on extensive growth, hella sexy scenes, and delicious banter. This author and this series have quickly become my favorite.

Kim is the type of character who would dance with passion with her eyes closed and her headphones in, only to realize she was dancing in the middle of school hallway with everyone watching her but she wasn't aware cause she 'let's the melody float her away' LMAO. Good story though, entertaining.

Wow okay I did not think that this book would be that deep. This book was extremely heart wrenching and everything happened so fast and slow at the same time. A great read.Check trigger warnings.

This book was a devastating mess at the beginning. The bullying is intense, and the mental health issues are predominant. It wrecked me watching the downward spiral of both main characters. But the story was written so well. I loved the twists and turns, many that had my jaw on the floor! This was my favorite Rina Kent read so far. I can't wait to keep going!5/5 stars and 3/5 spice.

I knew this book was going to be good. The first 10% in I just didn't know how good. It gave me all the emotions I cried. I laughed it's such a good read highly recommend

A história tem uma reviravolta que eu não esperava, mas depois você fica pensando, sério isso?! Clraro que bem mais velho.Porque não perguntou? Custava fazer um teste? Sei la, qualquer coisa para tentar sair dessa miséria.Amei saber que Xan esperou Kim🥰Os livros da Rina são parecidos, então algumas vezes pode ficar cansativo, mas lendo eles parcelado ajuda bastante e vamos combinar que é esquema de pirâmide e tem livro pra caraca.Mas eu preciso conhecer os pais, já que li todos os livros sobre os filhos.Bora seguir que ainda tem uns 200 pela frente.

“To you.Yes, you.You matter.”That prologue really tugged on my heart. I’ve been dying for their story & could tell that it isn’t going to be even remotely fluffy. It was going to be raw & painful.I wanted to pluck Kim from the pages and protect her at all costs, she looked at Xander as if he hung the moon & the stars, only for him to rip it away.Both have tremendously tortured souls & it was a very long & painful journey for their happily ever after.I personally would’ve loved to have seen Xander grovel a lot more for Kim’s forgiveness but nonetheless their hearts mended and found each other as it always should’ve been.Black Knight contains very sensitive topics & if that is a trigger for you, please proceed with caution.Ps. Xander is the OG lizard 🦎Another beautiful book for the Royal Elites💚🖤Honourable mentions; her little brother Kirian is just too adorable, and everyone else.I did love how fiercely protective Ronan was over his Kimmy, I’m unsure if it was genuine or not but seemed convincing on page.Dishonourable mentions; Jeanine & Samantha

My heart literally bleed with this book. From the character's life hustles to the whole unexpected story arcs, I went through a whole spectrum of emotions. I'm glad I kept reading the previous books about Aiden and Elsa (long story, and i almost droppedit all), because getting to this book was totally worth it. I can't wait for what's waiting ahead with Teal and Ronan, Cole and Astrid. Then I'm going for Levi and Astrid's story

Si many emoticons in a book: Amazing. I recommend to read the previous books in this series, so you can learn the background. Kim and Can hate each other for years: She become bulimuc, while he become an alcolist. Their love help them to Reborn.

It felt like my story.. no I didn't get a Xan in my life.. but yes whatever was Kimberly going through I am still healing like her.. could relate to so many things.. just made me emotional and hopeful in the end
