Broken Knight

Best Audio of 2019

This book has become a favorite and now listening to the audio I’m blown away. Jacob Morgan brings Knight Cole alive. I think it’s his best narration I’ve heard. Every nuance, sarcasm, emotion, and the internal dialogue was perfection. All the narration was so so good. Absolutely loved it!!!

Meh

I love this author and I liked these characters. But honestly I was hoping for more intimacy. I feel like the first generation of bad boys were more bully and erotic. Sorry, but get on with it. It could’ve been a 5 hour book.

There are not enough stars!!! L.J. Shen SLAYED!

It's been a few days since I finished Broken Knight and it is now when I can feel stable enough to write a review, be focused and not ramble away. I will start by saying that this story is WELL WORTH THE HYPE!! If you are a fan of The Sinners of Saint and now the All Saints High having this story told just gives us fans an additional look into what is happening with the characters that we love and adore. When you figure that this story is about Knight and Luna you already know that it will be quite a ride. These are people that have so much going on in their lives as individuals and then add the stress of growing up and having to make decisions... on top of family drama. For every L.J. Shen story I read / listen to I feel I am going on a journey in which I give her my faith and my trust and I just hold on to the ride. This story was very emotional on every level and yet she found ways to bring in humor, banter and outstanding characters that continue to excite by adding additional layers to the story. It came a point in the story that you knew where she would go and even though it hurt, it was beautifully written and perfectly performed by Savannah Peachwood. Her chapter totally obliterated me!! And then bring in Christian Rummel reprising his role as Dean and having to listen to his POV and what he was going through just tore me open even more. I thought I had no more tears left but then the ending was poignant and the characters had so much growth that I was proud and elated for them. This is what L.J. Shen does so well and casting Jacob Morgan & CJ Bloom as the leads was a outstanding casting choice. They carried these characters with strength, conviction and passion and deserve a huge standing ovation. This is certainly a top audio for me this year. I can not even imagine what is in store for us with Angry God!! Bring it on!!

Emotional story.

This book really caught my attention with all the chatter on FB. I've only read one other book by this author. And I like her writing style and the content of which she writes. This was such an emotional story. The narrators really brought the story to life. Have your Kleenex ready for this one.

Broken for all other books

Love this book, the series, and the narrators.

I really enjoyed the Sinners of Saint series which is about the parents of the All Saints High series characters. So when I saw the new series, starting with Pretty Reckless I was really excited. I kept waiting for them to move forward in time and not be in high school. Reading about a bunch of high schoolers really didn’t appeal to me, but I figured it would be similar to Sinners and would jump forward to their adult lives. Well it didn’t, and by the time I realized it wasn’t going to, I was to far into the book to not finish it. By the end of that book I was happy that I finished it. When this book came out I wasn’t sure if I was going to go there again.

Well I’m so glad I did, because I absolutely loved it. Great summer listen even if you graduated high school 20 years ago. However if you have teenage children and think they are perfect angels, then you probably should steer clear. LJ Shen is very much in touch with teenagers and all their bad decisions. Let’s face it we were all that age once and probably made similar choices, good and bad.

Alright already...

This was too drawn out! I like the next generation of hotholes but this was 11 hours of angst and too much bull! Had the story line wrapped up sooner and not been drawn out, it would have potentially been better!!

Lost for words

I havent cried in years, but this book got me good, not just tears down the cheek but full blown weeping so I got an headache afterward.
I got all these things in my head that I want to put down in this review, but really, just read or listen to it.
I didnt think anything about top "pretty reckless", i listened to it like 5 times and hornestly, I wont listen to this again because it hurts to do.

L.J Shen sure is the GOAT of this genre, none even gets close at this point.

Drags On and On and On and On

I love angst. Read angsty books all the time. This book has more angst than is really necessary. They are both teens so I cut them a little slack, but it got really old really fast. Their decisions made no sense most of the time. Also the woman narrator gave everyone a super posh voice. I found that off putting and it took me out of the story. Especially after reading about these women in previous books and knowing they aren’t snooty. They all spoke like the Queen of England in this narrators performance.

Narrators can make or break a book.

While I loved the story and the characters, well done by the author, it is the narrators that can make or break it. Usually I can’t get through a couple chapters if I’m not feeling the narrators despite the story line. These narrators did the book justice. It was like they were truly telling their story. Especially Knight. This audiobook will not disappoint. Loved everything about it.

LOVE!

I absolutely adore these audible originals! And the performer for Knight is so good! His voice is so sexy! It's funny and dramatic, a little sad and even romantic and sexy too. It's a great story and I can't wait to listen to others by Shen.
