Louise BayThe British Knight

If you are an incurable romantic like me, then you are going to L.O.V.E The British KnightAlexander Knightley is without a doubt The Knight in the shiny armour- He is British, freaking sexy, successful- in a nutshell he is Prince Charming!Yes, we all know that the perfect prince does not exist but trust me the perfect Knight does and his name is ALEXANDER KNIGHTLEY.Alex is used to getting what he wants, and everybody at the Chambers fears him apart from the bubbly sassy American girl who turned his world upside down and cracked his armour.Violet King is looking for a purpose in life. After a bad break up ( this is an understatement by the way), she has lost her drive to succeed, her enthusiasm and any faith in the mankind. After leaving job as a waitress , she does not know what to do next, until Darcy suggests that she goes to London with her and stays at her house for free.Violet seized the day and not only moved across the pond but also landed herself a job- assistant to Mr Knightley. She had been hurt and had no room for love or a relationship.“He was gruff, antisocial, and sexy as hell.”Alexander Knightley is the one that everyone fears- He is a workaholic- his work is his life and he lives for his work. He has no time for anything else. I loved him from the very beginning! His interactions with Violet were endearing, funny and swoon worthy. The attraction between them was sizzling but they were more than that. Violet changed him… but did she change him for the better?“The girl was dissolving my focus, my control, my defenses.”Can Alexander have his career and a relationship? Will Violet stay in London indefinitely?“ if anyone is capable of having everything they want, it’s you.”The secondary characters- The King Clan- that we met in the other books, The King Family were there supporting each other and made this story even more endearing. It was good to meet the King of Wall Street again. I love Louise Bay’s books and covers- they always make my heart melt and put a big smile on my face. I am without a doubt addicted to her words, and get high on the chemistry between the characters. Violet is my favourite heroine of hers!The British Knight had all the angst, wit, drama, dilemmas, passion and romance that a great book should have. It was perfect for moi!“We’re dancing?” she asked, grinning up at me. “It’s being here in Berkeley Square, with you. We have to dance cheek to cheek and listen for nightingales.”

Oh I love these two! Both strong, stubborn and in need of a little fun. I devoured the book in 2 days, which is my usual for a Louise Bay book.Having it set in my favourite city was a great bonus, I could picture myself taking the routes they took through London as I've done them many a time.I've been impatiently waiting for Violet's story and it didn't disappoint. She meets her match in Alexander... Boy does she meet her match! Both give as good as they get (*ahem*) so it makes for an interesting read with plenty of ups and downs along the way. Neither are perfect and have to work and fight for what they truly want.I loved the characters, the story and the setting. Alex and Violet are well written characters that draw you in. If you have audible, I highly recommend the audio book also... trust me, you won't be disappointed!I'm now impatiently waiting for the next Louise Bay instalment.

OMG! I'm in love with Violet and Alexander! I think I may have a new Louise Bay favourite!"His voice was like creme brulee - silky smooth with a hint of gravel. Yum. I'd lick the bowl if I had a dishful of him."Violet King lives in the moment. After a disastrous love affair, she flits from job to casual job, and she's nowhere near realising her full potential. When the opportunity to take a break from her current life presents itself, she's on the next plane to London, and on her way to a new temporary job."Women rarely caught my attention, but she was not only beautiful. There was something exotic about her, something that made me want to know more."Alexander Knightley lives and breathes his work. He's a total workaholic with a singular purpose: to be the best at his job. His father's legacy is a shadow of expectation that hangs over him, which is both a curse and something to be proud of. When Violet blows into his life, her beauty and vibrancy has him distracted and questioning what he really wants out of life."I wanted to please him. I wanted him to want me. I wanted him to fantasize about his hand up my skirt"This novel was so romantic and sexy! Violet and Alexander are complete opposites in so many ways, but so alike in others. I felt such a thrill of excitement from the first moment they met. The tension between them was tangible."The girl was dissolving my focus, my control, my defenses."I loved Violet's breezy, gutsy ways. She's utterly charming and has a heart of gold. Alexander's reputation precedes him as tough, taciturn, and difficult. I loved his dirty thoughts about Violet and how she affects him from their first meeting - the way she has him acting out of character. He demonstrated very clearly how much space she occupied in his mind. In turn, I enjoyed how Alexander also changes Violet and her view of the world, and makes her see herself in a new light.This was such a FABULOUS book. I completely ADORED it!! Thoroughly, thoroughly recommend it.

When Violet gets an offer to stay in London for a while she grabs it, as life in New York at the moment sucks. So she hops on a plane ready for a challenge. And that's exactly what she gets when she accepts a job working with the brooding, workaholic barrister Alexander Knightley. Let the fun begin!For me this book is perfect in every way. There's nothing I didn't like about it. Violet and Alexander are great characters and the storyline is fab. I also loved catching up with the characters from previous books. And of course now I'm hoping it's Grace's turn next to find love. I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed!
