I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book. Note: Please take the trigger warnings seriously as this book touched on some sensitive and traumatic experiences. I cannot wait to see how this carefree playboy capture his love interest. In this book, we learned more about Ronan and I think I know who will be his object of affection.
Their genuine friendship was one of my favorite parts of the series. I was totally invested in this bunch of friends in Royal Elite School. I absolutely enjoyed this emotional and empowering bully romance. The road to recovery was bumpy but the HEA was so worth it. With the love they shared, both of them slowly heal. The barrier between Xander and Kim dissolved once the truth came out. It was evident that they cared for each other and the cosmic pull between them was undeniable, but they fought against each other just because of a secret. The angst of their story was excruciatingly painful to watch. The unfairness of the situation fueled the rage within him which turned him into a cold and heartless person. He had his reasons for bullying Kim and keeping his distance. Xander was troubled too because he was carrying the biggest secret ever that prevented him from having what he wanted most in the world. My heart ached for Kim and for all the suffering and internal battles she had to endure throughout her life. They both had awful mothers that messed up their minds. On the surface, Xander and Kim put on a brave face with pretense, but deep down they were very broken. However, when Xander revealed the true reason behind years of bulling, I was shocked by the plot twist. I was eager to find out what happened and when I got Kim’s flashback of the day, I was thinking “that’s it?”. Xander and Kim used to be best friend when they were little but something happened when they were eleven that turned them enemies. I was touched, invested and emotionally exhausted in the best possible way. I literally had to take a break from the book at around 50% to pull myself back to reality so that I can function without breaking down into a sobbing mess.
I didn’t expect this book to be so dark and emotional. I was excited to get Kim and Xander’s story in Black Knight because their love-hate relationship intrigued me.
