On The Edge by Mari Brown

On The Edge (The Knight Series Book 1)

Leaving an abusive life behind is not a crime. Katarina Roberts’ only goal is to get the hell out of Belmont, and the further away, the better. After living with an abusive mother most of her life, her brother Drew, part of the town's notorious Knight Crime family, is doing everything he can to help her attend school at UCLA. Cole Knight is being groomed to take over the Knight family business. A lethal combination of sexy and dangerous, he has no interest in a relationship... until he meets Kat. Cole wants Kat, and will stop at nothing to have her and keep her, and make her part of the ‘family’. Kat and Cole have an explosive connection from the first moment they lay eyes on one another. Now, Kat faces the hardest choice of her life… Cole or UCLA? Cole would mean dealing with everything that comes from being a "Knight." A world where you are constantly worrying about your loved ones being hurt or possibly worse. But loving him makes it seem worth it. Or does she stick with the plan to get as far away from Belmont as possible? Will she give up her dreams of UCLA for Cole?

My Thoughts

5 stars!

I was a lucky winner in Mari's Release Day Takeover on one of the many Facebook book blogger pages I follow. There was no expectation what so ever for me to review this book. But I LOVED it, and I'm a big fan of Support Indie Authors....so try and stop me from reviewing this book! I loved it that much I bought the second book damn near straight away!

OK. So my thoughts. Well Mari makes crime seem hot. I mean, Cole Knight and his brother and father are hot too, and they all make crime seem hot, yet Cole makes it smoulder under his penetrating gaze and panty-wetting good looks. We meet Cole when he comes with Kat's brother to rescue her from the latest of their mothers douche bag boyfriends. Straight away there is a sexual tension between them, and yet Kat is strong in her belief's in what she wants from life and where she wants to go in life. To be honest I doubt I would have the strength that she has to be as strong as she is for sticking to her guns with Cole.

I enjoyed this book to the point that I couldn't put it down until I damn near finished it, it was only the 3.30am time check that had me putting it down without realising there was only one chapter left.

Mari wrote such steamy scenes that I was disappointed my husband was actually asleep, or he could have taken advantage of the wonderful desires evoked from simply reading.

I daren't say any more for fear of spoiling the book and giving away the story line. So instead I will tell you...go and buy this book...buy it now! Go on....BUY IT!
