Loved it!
Have to admit, this isn’t my favorite book by this author. The hype surrounding this book had me expecting more. I got it in the last 30% but felt a little disappointed in the first half of Knight and Luna’s story - too much of the same thing over and over again. That being said, I loved the book. This author really knows how to write and capture her audience to the point you feel like you’re a part of it all.

This book is a hot mess- the FMC is a selective mute who rejects the advances of the MMC three times. The MMC ends up retaliating by making it look like he's hooking up with other people when in reality, he's a virgin and wants her to be his first time. The FMC moves to college and ends up giving her virginity to someone else. The MMC finds out and is enraged and then she starts talking to him. I don't know if she ends up talking to everyone else after this because I'm not going to finish.

This book was amazing! I loved both main characters and their flaws. It's also well written. I experienced so many different emotions and even found myself re-reading part's. I definitely recommend Broken Knight!

I knew this book was going to be an emotional roller coaster. I knew it was going to hurt me, yet I still read this book. The most angsty emotional book I have ever read, and it has destroyed me. Part of me didn't want to read this book, but the author, who I have read everything by, was a strong draw. Every book that she writes, she gets stronger and a writer, you can see it, and feel it.
The characters take us back to Todos Santos California, where we get to visit old friends and make new ones. You feel like you are right in this book, and yes Knight is indeed broken, probably more broken than even his father Dean Cole was. Let's face it, the Cole men are hot mess express. This book drags you kicking and screaming through the gutter, and makes you whole again by the end of the book. This book is told in multiple POV.

"With Luna, I was in fucking everything. Love. Lust. Obsession. Take your pick."
So, this follows two best friends: Luna and Knight (Trent and Dean's kids respectively). Luna's a year older and goes to college on the opposite coast. This primarily follows them over her first year at college and when she returns for breaks.
Now, there's a lot of toxicity and mutual pining between the pair. I mean, Knight is kind of obsessed, as you can see from the above quote. But he's also a bit of an a-hole (yes, there's cheating). Half the time I was like... do I even like these characters? 😅 It was a rollercoaster.
But then the ending was sad AF and it made me bawl my eyes out at close to midnight so for that it gets at least three stars. I don't make the rules.

One of the things I appreciated the most with Broken Knight was the glimpses we got of Knight's and Luna's parents... While I enjoyed their story, I also found them to be less believable as characters. Especially Knight...

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!
Everything this woman writes is great, but this book is GOLD.
i dont remember being so shaken up with the book as much as i was with this one and props to the strong woman that wrote it cause i would never be able to do what she did here.
Hats off Miss Shen.
i just hope that Angry God will be 3/4 as good as this one :D

imagine getting so hyped over a book and then it turns out disappointing you? that’s me with this book.
there are so many aspects of this book that doesn’t sit well with me and tbh at the top of that list is the rexroths being paid dust.
re-rating from 3 stars to 2.
