Blog Tour & Review: BROKEN KNIGHT by LJ Shen


🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡


"Everyone needs to read this book. "
- Harloe Rae, USA Today bestselling author.

BROKEN KNIGHT, an all new standalone about first loves, betrayal and loss from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen, is available now!

Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending.

Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower.
Sweet.
Caring.
Charitable.
Quiet.
Fake.
Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language.
Who taught her how to laugh.
To live.
To love.

Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero.
Gorgeous.
Athletic.
Rugged.
Popular.
Liar.
This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna.
But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore.
When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes.
Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy.

REVIEW:
"Moonshine,"he whispered."You will up the empty, dark space--like the moon owns the sky. It is quiet. It it bright. It doesn't need to be a ball of flame to be noticed. It simply exists. It forever glows."-Knight.

"Two hearts, two lives, and too many missed opportunities." 

This was unrequited love at it's best! ALL. THE. FEELS. This book took me through a whirlwind of emotions. A rollercoaster of highs and lows and everything in between. I have NEVER cried so hard while reading a book. I am NOT a crier while reading, so to brought to gasping, blubbering tears, snot, puffy eyes and all, was a powerful testament to Leigh's ability to pull on my heartstrings for characters I have grown to know and love. 

I could NOT read this story fast enough. When I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it. When I was sleeping, I would dream about it. I knew after only a few chapters, that this was going to be a powerful book that would inevitably break my heart and put it back together in an altered form. This was going to be one that taught me a reminder that is all too easily forgotten: The sun WILL shine tomorrow, but we MUST live for TODAY. You need to live EVERY moment, EVERY day, EVERY interaction, like it's your last because you only get ONE life to live, so enjoy everything there is to enjoy about it.

I can say WITHOUT a doubt, that this is Leigh's best work, to date. It was everything I had hoped for and then some. Move over Daria and Penn, this Knight and his "Moonshine" took the crown. I will be listening to the as soon as it comes out! I NEED to experience this book all over again, even with all the pain along the way. 

"Life's too short not to be with the person you love." 

I know that this book is being advertised as a standalone, but I HIGHLY and WHOLEHEARTEDLY, recommend you read the first books in the series before this one (DEFY, VICIOUS, RUCKUS, SCANDOLOUS, and BANE). At the very least, PLEASE read RUCKUS and SCANDALOUS. This is Knight (Dean and Rosie's adoptive son-RUCKUS) and Luna (Trent and Edie's daughter- SCANDALOUS) story and I truly believe you will NOT get the full emotional impact if you don't at least read those two novels. I felt it would be a disservice to this OUTSTANDING story if i didn't mention this. 

***Be warned: A box of tissue WILL be necessary while reading***

Excerpt:

Right now I wanted to just be here in silence with my best friend. And somehow, I don’t know how, but Luna sensed it. So we sat there for what felt like two hours but was probably a lot less, until I opened my eyes again. Her eyes were closed, too. I watched her for a while.
When she opened her eyes, it felt like she took something away from me.
“Let’s jump,” she said.
“I’m quite fond of my limbs, Moonshine.”
“Stop being such a big baby.”
“Big, quarterback baby who just finished a football season in one piece and would like to keep all his body parts intact.”
She crawled out of the treehouse and settled on the branch. It was thick, but I doubted it could carry my muscular ass for more than a few seconds before snapping. I rolled my eyes and settled next to her. She slipped her hand in mine.
“Three, two, one.”
It was a short, sweet way down.
