Book 1 of 5: The Unfinished Hero Series

See all formats and editions

Anya Gage has learned that to get anything good in life, you have to work for it. She has no expectations, no dreams.

Then she finds herself at a party where she doesn’t want to be and she meets Knight.

Knight Sebring knows who he is, what he wants and what he likes. And he gets it. But he never expected something as sweet as Anya Gage to wander into his bedroom during a party he did not expect to be having to borrow his phone.

Knight tries to leave Anya to the life she deserves of white picket fences and a man who watches football on Sundays – good, normal and clean. But when Anya comes to his nightclub and finds herself in a situation, he knows someone has to look after her, he can’t fight it anymore and he decides that man will be him.

Knight teaches Anya that, just as with the bad, in life you should also expect the good. And he teaches her this by giving it to her.

But Knight has a dark past and just as he desires Anya for exactly who she is, he fears when she finds out exactly the man he has become and always intends to be, she’ll leave him for good, normal and clean.

About the Author

Kristen Ashley is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. She grew up in Indiana, but has lived in Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she’s been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least), but loopy is good when you want to write. Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched). Needless to say, living in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up. And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.

An awesome departure from Ms. Ashley's norm, yet exactly why we love her books!

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2013

I'm on a Kristen Ashley kick. I've had Knight on my Kindle for some time and finally decided to read it. I was totally missing out. I'm actually thankful I hadn't read it sooner because Knight would have ruined me for anyone else. Yep, you read it, Knight Sebring is at the very top of my list. Joe Callahan and Knight Sebring. What a merry Christmas that would be. Kristen Ashley knows how to write an alpha. Albeit, brace yourself, Knight is much different than any of her other alphas.

There is not one thing that I would change about Knight, have zero complaints, and would like to know where to find him. Knight is not KA's typical hero. He's like the anti-hero compared to other of KA's men. It doesn't make him better, because all KA alphas are great. The difference just makes Knight more alluring. His darkness is addicting. Knight is INTENSE. He's passionate. He's brutally honest. He dresses hot. His sweet is way sweeter than any alpha I've read yet. His compliments aren't "flowery" as Anya says but they sure pack a mean punch. There were several times when his words gutted me. And most importantly, Knight is controlling and overbearing. Not character flaws, for the kind of man Knight is, those are character enhancements. I get it why some people might be put off by him and while I might not actually condone some his "business" actions I would, like Anya, accept him for who he is, just as he is. Because what Knight gives Anya is so much bigger than anything else, it's all encompassing. Anya understands and accepts this and refuses to let anything poison what they've built. She fell hard for a hard man. I don't blame her, I totally would have to. At first, I thought Anya was sort of bland. Then delving further into their story, I had the enlightening epiphany (sarcasm) this is a KA heroine. She's confident and strong. She went through hell as a child and came out unscathed. Anya wants stability and trust. She gets that and so much more from Knight. Relinquishing control to Knight is like a breath of fresh air for Anya. In handing herself over to him, she finally gets beauty and believes she deserves it. Anya's passionate, she's loyal, and she loves Knight. Bottom line. He needed someone to understand him and nurture his needs and Anya does that beautifully. There is nothing better than a strong, confident KA heroine who takes care of her man. She writes beautiful women inside and out.

This is a perfect, darker, love story written in only a way that Kristen Ashley could write it. You're absorbed you into this darker world with colorful and descriptive dialogue and characters that make you feel. There is no major climactic scene in Knight and I was totally ok with that. I felt myself slowing down a bit and just savoring their story as opposed to needing to know what happend when the drama hits. The story was so addicting with the growth of their soul-deep bond that no drama was needed. The shift in Anya's life was dramatic enough. This book is truly an exploration of a darker love, a deeper connection. I cannot wait to re-read it again in the future. I could read an entire series about Knight and Anya. Kristen Ashley does it again for me, something completely different and unexpected ends up being one of my favorites of hers to date.

Oh wow! I was prepared for an intense alpha-male but Knight Sebring is IN-TENSE! Great read!

As soon as Knight and Anya met I had a million questions and was fascinated by Knight. Intense doesn't cover it. Dominating. Controlling. Aggressive. Demanding, intriguing, sexy, and secretive. He had all those bases covered. Anya is sweet and has fought hard for everything she has and tries to stand up to him but since Knight is who he is, that's rather hard to do. It creates bits of drama, nothing over the top, some angst, and a lot of hotness! I really liked their story and learning their histories. Knight can be so gruff and overbearing but mixed in with all that attitude and dominating ways are these sweet moments that make you melt. I loved those moments so you could really see that underneath, he was a good guy (in his own way).

Great writing with an interesting cast of characters. I did think there were a few parts in the front half that were a bit drawn out. Excellent pace in the second half.

There was excellent hotness. Knights not shy with the dirty talk and wordage. There is a nice nontraditional D/s element happening, it was intense and erotic. I can't not mention the name exchange that happens between these two, I was warned about it so I was prepared, it was a bit... odd... but hey. It worked for them. I kind of just had to accept it and go with it.

Really great read. I didn't know what to expect besides an intense alpha male (which I totally got) but it also had a great emotional element with their soft words and whispers. Kristen Ashley always does a really great job of pulling me in. Be prepared for intense and hot!

Great book! Knight & Anya are awesome!

This was a great book! I Love just about all of KA's books but reading the reviews I wasn't sure how I'd like this book but I was not sorry at all that I bought this book. I seriously love Knight and Anya! They're a great couple.

Anya has had a rough life and had to work for every little thing. She's smart and working full time while going to school with an end goal in mind. She's also loyal which is what leads her to be at a party where she meets Knight. He gives her a ride home and at first doesn't seem interested even when he's helping her out (with more than just the ride home). She knows he's scary but is still attracted to him and doesn't feel threatened by him. From the start she feels his protection of her, even carrying over to her dreams. Since he seems intent on using the scary to keep her safe she gives him a chance once he starts wooing her.

Knight had a disturbing background. It made him in to an honorable but yet dark man. He's done a lot of things that people would condemn but yet I can understand his actions. He's all about keeping his people safe and doing anything that needs to be done to ensure they stay safe and are good. I know that some people put him down because of his profession but hearing about his background I can understand why he does it. I liked Knight a lot regardless of his profession. He was good to Anya and treated her special (something she hadn't had for most of her life). He made her happy and I loved seeing it.

While there is some drama in the book I found that it wasn't a huge part of the story line. There are some issues to get past (obviously when she finds out about what he does for a living) but overall they were pretty stable and it was great to see them together. It had a great ending that left me satisfied and happy. I'd totally recommend this book and I'll be reading the next in the series. 2 thumbs up. :)

*NOTE - My thoughts on the "Daddy" usage - Some reviews spoke of her calling him Daddy. This does happen and although calling a man Daddy isn't really my thing I didn't find it bad. There's no role playing or anything like that. It's more like a title. She calls him Daddy and he calls her Baby. You could substitute Master and Sub for Daddy and Baby and it wouldn't make a difference. Since the play Knight likes is BDSMish (but with no serious kink) but he's not fully in to it, it seems like Daddy kind of works as a title outside of Master for him. It might bother some people but I didn't feel that it brought down the story for me.

Under Knight Sebring's Spell😍😍😍

Reviewed in India on June 3, 2021

Oh my..... Goodness..KNIGHT WAS 😍🔥😍🔥.
I'm totally under his spell just like Anya, unable to resist him even if I tried. He's just so all Consuming, so Intense. Knight takes what he wants and he'll make sure you know it if you're what he wants.
A draining night out party at an apartment, Anya is there for her friend but is so done and wants to get out. But to call a cab, her phone's not working. But amidst this small inconvenience she doesn't realise her entire life's gonna change as she unknowingly comes onto Knight's radar.
Oh my... Right from that scene I was so done. Falling hard for Knight. He's straightforward, rough, crude and doesn't take no for an answer.
Also like Anya, I was at times like dude, that's too soon or too intense but he had me and Anya under his spell in no time at all.
Although this my second time reading this book, it certainly won't be the last.
Ahhhhhh.... Some of his comments, what he says to Anya.. Just melted my heart.
How can a guy so arrogant and rough in a refined way, say such things and make me and Anya feel so many things.
This book...... I'm in LOVE WITH KNIGHT. 5 +STARS.. Loved loved freaking loved this one. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️

Quando a escritora fala, a gente tem que acreditar. E ela disse que este livro é um pouco diferente do que ela costuma escrever. A mais pura verdade. Diferente e, mesmo assim, muito bom. Personagens sólidos. Intensos. Bem retratados. Cenas que fazem a gente chorar, rir e suspirar. Muitas cenas de sexo, realmente. Só que no final, é só uma linda história de amor. Knight é um sonho de consumo pra qualquer uma. E um dos meus personagens preferidos da autora, junto com o Lee, o Luke e o Tatum.
Kirsten Ashley nunca me decepciona!!!

I wasn't sure if I'd like the Unfinished Heroes collection but once I started on Knight I feel in love with the 'anti hero' and couldn't put it down. Awesome series. Kristen Ashley you are like a gifted chameleon writer. Each series and the characters are all so different but still enthralling.

Inhaltsangabe:

s. oben

Meine Meinung:
Ich mag weder "Bestrafungsspielchen", Dominanzspiele, noch "Baby/ Daddy"-Rollenspiele. Überhaupt nicht!
Obwohl dererlei Dinge im Buch nicht zu knapp vorkommen, hat mir das Buch dennoch gefallen.
Kristen Ashley versteht es einfach, spannende und fesselnde Geschichten zu schreiben und tolle, tiefgründige Protagonisten mit Ecken und Kanten zu erschaffen, die sich auch im Laufe einer wachsenden Liebesbeziehung nicht völlig verbiegen.
Knight ist von Beginn an ein Alpha-Männchen aller erster Güte. Er bestimmt sämtliche Regeln, ist kontrollierend, anmaßend, übermäßig beschützend und rauh, kann aber auch sehr einfühlend, fürsorglich, humor- und liebevoll sein. Um die Menschen, die ihm lieb und teuer sind, zu beschützen, schreckt er auch vor Gewalttaten nicht zurück.
Trotz seiner Beziehung zu der warmherzigen, liebevollen und gütigen Anya wird er nie zum vollständig gezähmten Tiger.
Er ist eben ein "Unfinished Hero".
Ich mag ihn, obwohl er eben oder gerade weil er so unperfekt ist. Entscheidend ist für mich, wie der Held im Kern mit "seiner" Frau umgeht. Auch wenn er gerne über Anya bestimmt, sie gerne herumkommandiert und auch mal etwas rauher mit ihr umgeht, ist er zu ihr doch immer ehrlich und im Kern stets auch zärtlich und fürsorglich.
Nachdem ich den Roman angefangen hatte, konnte ich ihn nicht beiseite legen.

Ich habe mit diesem Buch nun 6 Romane von Kristen Ashley gelesen (die ersten 3 Bände der Fantasyland Series, "Breathe", "Three Wishes" und eben "Knight").
Kristen Ashley ist unglaublich einfallsreich und überrascht mich immer wieder mit ihrem Facettenreichtum. Selbst wenn sie mehrere Bände einer Serie schreibt, gleicht doch kein Buch dem anderen.
Und mit dem ein oder anderen Roman schafft sie es auch gerne mal, die Leserschaft zu polarisieren.
Wie bei "Golden Dynasty" auch, liebt man den Roman "Knight" meiner Meinung nach oder man kann ihn nicht leiden. Meinungen im Mittelfeld gibt es m.E. kaum.

Auch wenn mir ein paar Dinge definitiv nicht gefallen haben (s. oben), haben mir die Protagonisten und die Geschichte trotzdem total gefallen.
Deshalb gibt es von mir die volle Punktzahl!
