Title: Thrill Ride
Author: Julie Ann Walker
Series: Black Knight Inc #4
Pages: 352
Rock Babineaux’s life gets turned upside down when he is framed for murder and is hunted by the government. He is determined to stay off the radar and protect his friends. What he doesn’t expect is for his team’s beautiful communications specialist to track him down and fight for him.
Like all the previous books, Walker does an amazing job at pulling on your emotions and keeping you hooked to the story. Rock and Vanessa have a very dangerous and intense relationship that is filled with a lot of frustration, fear, and love. Vanessa was a great character. She was smart, capable, and determined to help Rock. I loved that she never backed down, even when she knew she was going to get hurt in the process. She stayed true to her feelings and fought for the man she loved.
Rock is an extremely protective soldier who tries to keep everyone safe by going solo. While it works for a while he quickly realizes that he needs his team if he is ever going to find out the truth and set things right. Rock was a character who I liked but wanted to smack a few times for his determination to protect everyone at the cost of his life.
Walker continues to create a wonderful group of people who will do everything they can to protect their teammates and see justice served. This series has just been a wonderful blend of romance and suspense that I don’t want to stop reading. Also I am really loving all the Knights and how badass all the female characters have been. I can’t wait to see who falls in love next.
