Synopsis

There's only one thing in life Lucien Knight really hates, and that's husbands who cheat on their wives. There's only one problem in Sophie Black's life. Her cheating husband... From the moment Lucien & Sophie meet, the seal is set. Romantic, emotional & intensely erotic, Knight and Play is the perfect read for lovers of international bestsellers Fifty Shades & Bared To You. Let yourself be swept away by Part One of the Knight series from Kitty French, a romance so hot it'll burn your fingers... CEO of Knight Inc. Lucien Knight is catch-your-breath gorgeous and damaged by his troubled past in Norway. All grown up and relocated to London, he's built his empire of adult clubs from the ground up to become the gorgeous patron saint of the sex industry. No one knows the dark childhood secrets that have given Lucien a backbone of steel and a heart encased in ice. No one until Sophie Black, that is... From the moment girl-next-door Sophie accepts the job as Lucien Knight's PA, she understands how Alice must have felt when she tumbled down the rabbit hole. Lucien takes her safe, vanilla life away and plunges her head first into a huge dish of fantasy flavours. Rich, spicy chocolate covered with dark, oozingly lickable sauce? Check. Tutti-frutti with indecently red, glistening cherries on the top? Yes please. Lucien strips away all of Sophie's inhibitions, and when he instructs her to select three new toys, she soon realises he has more than a game of Monopoly on his mind... He's opened the door to a whole new pleasure packed world without limits, and Sophie is utterly intoxicated. But how far is she willing to go? And what happens when she has to step back into reality again? Lucien & Sophie's is a story of star crossed love and forbidden passion, a sexual odyssey that spans the globe and changes both of their lives forever. Let it change yours, too.

Excerpt

“Look in the mirror, Sophie.”

She tried to pull away but he held her firm. “Look. Tell me what you see.”

She looked, reluctantly. And she saw the same person she always saw reflected back

at her. The same yet subtly different. More grown-up? More knowing?

Black silk underwear, hold-ups, high heels. Long, tumbled blonde hair. A kissswollen

mouth, and the liquid, sensual eyes of a satisfied woman.

And standing behind her, a head and shoulders taller, Lucien. Shirtless.

Beautiful.

Her Viking warrior, and now her Viking lover.

“Let me tell you what I see.” Lucien said, his hands on her shoulders.

“I see a woman with the face of an angel.” He ran the back of his fingers down her

cheek. “A face that makes men want to fuck her just to see how she looks when she

comes.”

Sophie stared at him in the mirror, shocked and mesmerised.

“She has the kind of curves that make men want to touch her.”

He splayed a big warm hand over her pale stomach, making her skin tauten and her

breath catch in her throat.

“I see a woman who deserves to be treated like a princess.”

He only had to touch her and it was as if he’d flicked the ‘seduce me now’ switch

in her head.

“Look at you, Sophie.” He was so close that she could feel the warmth of his breath

tickle her neck. “You’re like a peach waiting to be plucked from the tree.” He stepped

flush against her, her back against his chest.

“Velvet soft skin.” He trailed his fingertips down her arms.

“Luscious curves.” He covered her breasts with his hands and stroked them through

her bra.

“Ripe.” He slid a hand between her legs and cradled her. Sophie watched his every

move in the mirror with wide eyes, almost too turned on to breathe.

“Juicy.” He groaned as he slid his hand inside her knickers. “So fucking juicy.” He

moved his fingers along her sex, still wet from the first time he’d made her come.

“I want to lick your juices, Sophie.”

Sophie could feel his erection pressing hard into her back, and all she could think of

was how much she wanted him to carry on making her feel this good. The sight of

them in the mirror was like a life size soft porn movie; she couldn’t take her eyes

away from his hand moving inside her knickers.

“Tell me that isn’t beautiful,” he said against her ear.

She couldn’t. The fact was that he made her beautiful.

Iva's Review

Kitty French's Knight series begins with Knight and Play, an erotic romance that will have you panting with desire and reaching for your own "tools of the trade" to ease the ache between your legs.

Sophie Black needs a new job, a new focus to make her feel worthy again after living in a lack lustre marriage and it is a spur of the moment gesture to kiss the envelope containing her CV that she sends it off to Knight Inc. that gets her an interview into a world she never knew existed and one a married woman should not be tempted by.

Lucien Knight has a warped view of relationships but a very healthy appetite for all things sex which is why he runs a very successful adult pleasure empire consisting of sex clubs and adult toys. Sophie's demureness as well as her ability to surprise him has him not thinking about if he should bed her, but when.

The writing is well paced with fantastic word selection and seductive dialogue. The authors depiction of Lucien projects from the page and smacks the reader in all those womanly bits that love a dominant man who knows how to wield a vibrator but has a little broken vulnerable bit she can make whole again.

Sophie is a woman many would form friendships with. She has an inner sweetness that makes you want to see her succeed. There is a palpable pain to her hurt over her failing marriage and a tangible sexual need whenever she is in Lucien's company.

The story is well developed and though there is a lot of sex, the story manages to stay along side it and enhances the emotive power of the book.

Knight & Play gets 4 1/2 hearts!

Excerpt

It was as if she'd opened the gates to paradise.

Lucien was parched and desperate to drink from her, to fill himself to the brim with the magical elixir that seemed to flow from her soft curves and hidden hollows straight into his bloodstream.

He lowered his head and captured her nipple between his lips, turned on as much by her groan of pleasure as by the feel of the nub in his mouth. He swirled his tongue over her as he let his hands explore her back; the delicate bones of her spine, the way it dipped then flared at the base.

He shrugged out of his shirt as he transferred his attentions to her other nipple, loving the feeling of his skin against her skin again. The sure slide of her hands over his shoulders had him pushing down her lace knickers. There would be time later to take it slow. Right now he was driven by urgent need; the need to embrace her naked body completely, to be overthrown by the mind-blowing sensation that only fucking this woman could give him.

Sophie's shallow moans of anticipation told him that she was of the same mind, as did the way she swayed her body against his as he reached for his belt.

"I love you like this," she murmured when he gathered her to him, and he had to hold back the words that almost left his own lips as he lifted her onto the edge of the sofa and positioned himself between her legs.

He noticed how she held her breath with anticipation as he let the tip of his cock play against her entrance, and how it rushed from her body when he surged his hips forward. She might have groaned, but he didn't hear it over the animalistic sound that left his own throat. Oh, the way Sophie wrapped her legs around his thighs, and Christ, the feel of her hands pulling him in deeper. She'd regained the weight she'd dropped in her weeks of turmoil and distress and felt to Lucien all the more amazing for it; her lush velvet curves were surely designed to make a man lose his head. Fuck. He needed to thrust, and he needed her with him when he came.

Sophie's mouth opened wide under his when he reached a hand behind her head and pulled her into his kiss, and she mouthed his name when he reached his other hand between their bodies and massaged her clitoris as his hips found a furious rhythm. Christ, she was going to come, he could feel her body tensing and it aroused him almost beyond endurance. She clamped him with her legs, her head flung back with pleasure as he slammed himself into her. So sexy. Bang. So fucking, fucking sexy. Bang. Sophie cried out, her finger nails arcing into his skin as she orgasmed around his cock and under his fingers. Her whole body tightened deliciously, wrenching his own climax out of him with a shout of absolute, blissful, excruciating, intense release.

"Mine." The ragged word left his mouth unplanned and uncensored by rational thought as he buried his face in her neck. "Mine."

Sophie settled herself against Lucien's chest as they dropped down together onto the sofa. "Do you want some dinner?"

"No." He stroked her hair.

"Coffee?"

"No."

"Cake?"

"Only if I can smear it all over you and then lick it off."

Sophie harboured no delusion that he was joking; she was instantly transported back to Norway, laid out on Lucien's dining table wearing nothing but his dessert.

"I don't want food or drink. This isn't a date."

Iva's Review

Knight and Stay is Kitty French's second Knight book. Once again it is very well written, with a tonne of sex and and an extremely sexy alpha male that has you drooling over every page.

Sophie has sent her cheating husband packing, but has also left her glamourous job and swoon worthy lover/boss Lucien Knight, determined to find out who she is now that her life has been turned upside down. However, circumstances have her needing to accept Lucien's offer to continue on in her role as his PA, but will either of them be able to keep their job purely platonic or will they once again find the delights of carnal pleasures too hard to resist.

Kitty French has done a brilliant job of keeping her characters consistent, with enough evolution to keep the story flowing and interesting. Sophie has found the little bit of confidence she was lacking in the first book and Lucien's past is beginning to have less of a hold on him. The passion between the two remains fresh, despite the number of physical encounters that are depicted throughout the first two books.

Knight and Stay is another marvelous erotic romance by Kitty French with a dynamic storyline and alluring characters that will have you turning the pages consistently.

Another 4 1/2 hearts - this time for Knight and Stay!

Knight & Day (Knight #3)

 

Amazon Worldwide

Synopsis

Kara Brookes hates liars. Dylan Day hasn’t told the truth from the moment his plane touched down in Ibiza. It’s a recipe for disaster. Lucien and Sophie are back, and have set up camp on the sun-drenched isle of Ibiza for the opening of the latest of Lucien’s strictly adult clubs. They’re joined for the summer by Sophie’s best friend Kara, and Dylan Day, Lucien’s newly appointed club manager. The laid back, smokin’ hot surf guy from California seems almost too good to be true… but there’s no smoke without fire. It’s going to be a long hot summer of love, lust, lies and wedding bells. But who will get their happy ever after? Romantic, emotional and intensely erotic, Knight & Day is the thrilling final installment of the USA Today bestselling Knight Series from Kitty French.    

Excerpt

“Listen, Kara…” Dylan topped up their champagne glasses in the silence that followed Lucien and

Sophie’s disappearance. “I think we may have got off on the wrong foot, and for my part in that, I’m

sorry.”

He handed Kara her glass and picked up his own, turning his body towards hers on the bench as he

settled back down. The top couple of buttons on his dark shirt were open, and Kara found her eyes

following the tanned column of his neck down and wondering what he’d be like if he lost the shirt

altogether.

Balls. She closed her eyes and brought her glass to her lips. She didn’t want to think that.

Don’t think it, don’t think it, don’t think it.

Maybe if she said it three times in her head something magical would happen and he wouldn’t be so

attractive when she reopened her eyes.

Well, that didn’t work. In fact, if anything, he looked sexier still, because he was watching her, waiting

for her.

“Are you waiting for me to apologise too?” she asked, placing her drink down.

“Do you feel like you need to?”

He was half school teacher, half sex god, and for some reason Kara found herself ready to be thrown over his knee and chastised for her sassy mouth. Oh Lord. This was going to go bad. Champagne swilled in her veins, and there was no stopping the words from leaving her lips.

“No. I actually feel like sliding over there and unbuttoning your shirt.”

Dylan’s expression went from lazy amusement to round-eyed surprise in five seconds flat. Surprise laced with arousal.

“Which is why you should leave right now,” Kara continued, aware that she’d said too much, as always.

Her big mouth had got her into all sorts of trouble over the years, and it would seem that this was destined to be another of those times.

She watched him swallow hard and wanted to trace her index finger down his Adam’s apple.

He watched her watching him.

“Well, that’s an unexpected development, English.”

“You’re telling me,” she said. “Leave. Please?”

Kara manoeuvred herself off the bench and stood to allow him room to get out.

“Should I finish my drink?”

“Nope.”

“I could take my shirt off?”

He was standing too close, his fingers on the buttons at his chest, his eyebrows raised suggestively, his

expression caught halfway between joking and deadly serious.

“Goodnight, Dylan.”

Kara crossed her arms firmly, and for the briefest of seconds Dylan’s eyes moved down to the cleavage

she’d just inadvertently served up like two oranges on a platter. She didn’t dare open her mouth for fear of what might come out. “Rip my dress off and take a proper look,” sprang unhelpfully to mind.

Dylan leaned down and touched his lips against her cheek; warm, tingly, and lingering for a second

longer than could be deemed platonic. Jesus, he smelt like nothing on earth. She wanted to lick his face.

“Goodnight, English,” he said softly. “I’ll see myself out. And for the record… I’ve never felt less like

leaving anywhere in my life.”

Iva's Review

Knight and Day is the final book in Kitty French's Knight trilogy and once again she has written a story that will have lots of readers pressing their thighs together and in need of release. 

Kitty has used a different approach in this book by making Knight and Play centred around two new characters; Kara and Dylan, as well as concluding the story of Sophie and Lucien, thus using four narrators throughout the novel.

A man arrives in Ibiza with only the burning desire to leave his messed up life behind him and start anew; a new job, a new life, a new name. But the new Dylan Day didn't expect to find a new relationship so soon. especially one that makes him want this new life to be his only life. 

Kara has had a bad experience with men lying to her. First her father and more recently her fiance who left her standing at the alter, but with Dylan she can be herself, lower her guard. Afterall, he knows how important honesty is to her, right?

Knight and Day is told from four different perspectives, with the main narrations being those of Kara and Dylan. Sophie and Lucien's narrations tend to be brief and mostly focused on their relationship, but do provide a little insight into Kara and Dylan's relationship also. The transitions between narrations are mostly smooth but there are a few that do seems to flip quickly and without warning, and will jar a reader out of reading bliss for a few seconds

Kara is very forthright and says and does whatever springs into her head. Her friendship with Sophie has offered her some comfort and brought about a new career path, one that leaves her wielding a vibrator like a gun at a much too cocky Dylan Day. Kara is a woman who seems strong and confident, but there is a vulnerability to her that endears her to a reader. Her relationship with Dylan flowed realistically and I found her very easy to like.

Dylan is a man who oozes a very casual type of sex appeal. Lucien, in contrast seemed to dominate the page, bold as brass and almost giving a reader an orgasm just by reading about him. Dylan's appeal is subtle, like a fine wine you want to hold in your mouth and savour. His appeal isn't as forceful as Luciens, but the tingle does start from your toes and move swiftly upwards as you learn more about him. Dylan's heart is in the right place, he just needs his head to catch up. He will definitely please the book boyfriend connoisseur.

This book sees the last of Lucien Knight's demons regarding relationships dissolve.  I was a little surprised to read the scenes where they narrate in this book at first, thinking the epilogue at the end of the Knight and Stay was a pretty good indication that Lucien was over the worst of his hang ups, but I can see why Kitty has added the original couples concluding tale to the third book. It is also nice to have that last piece of them. Lucien has come a long way from the lonely and broken sex epicurean in Knight and Play to a man who can offer a woman mindblowing orgasms as well as his whole heart and soul. It is a satisfying culmination to Sophie and Luciens story that began in the first two books.

Kara and Dylan's story is possibly not as powerful as Sophie and Lucien's was in both Knight and Play and Knight and Stay, but is still very satisfying and emotive. Both characters are easy to like and their emotions palpable to the reader. 

The story is well developed and written beautifully. If there are any flaws I would say they are in a minority of places where Lucien and Sophies views seem to have been pasted into the story, making some narration transitions bumpy. This is only a very little glitch and doesn't take anything away from a wonderful series.

The sex in Knight and Day is arousing and blisteringly hot, though not as "tool friendly" as Knight and Play and Knight and Stay. There is lots of carnal delight, but not so much that it overwhelms the story. Great read.
