Book Review ~ I Knocked Him Out (Love at First Crime #2) by Jessica Frances

I Knocked Him Out

(Love at First Crime #2)

by Jessica Frances

Genre: Romantic Suspense

She knocked him out, so he knocked down her walls…

He has irritated me ever since we were kids.

He is overprotective.

Controlling.

A complete jerk.

So, I knocked him out.

It was an accident.

I felt terrible … mostly.

It changed things between us.

Life for us both got more complicated.

Add in a stalker who has decided to take an interest in me,

And suddenly our worlds are turned upside-down.

Can things really change between us so fast?

Or are we just making a bigger mess than what we started with?

I think that hit to the head might have knocked things loose for both of us.

Because, from the moment I knocked him out, we saw each other differently.

As some people say, there is nothing quite like love at first … crime.

I Knocked Him Out, the second book in the Love at First Crime series, was everything I expected plus so much more.  With the perfect combination of romance and suspense, this installment kept my interest throughout and was very difficult to put down for even a second.

I absolutely loved everything about this story, but I especially adored the main characters, Sasha and Declan.  They were just too cute with their back and forth banter and their denial for their feelings for one another was simply priceless.

“I know I’m not perfect, and I know this is mad, but a big part of me is wondering if I’ve been blind to what has been right in front of me all along.  And I know I’ll kick myself if I never get the chance to see.”

“When you knocked me out last week, I can’t say it changed how I felt, but I think it forced me to see you in a different light.  Strong, powerful, capable, and with one hell of a right hook.”

I Knocked Him Out can totally be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend checking out the first book, I Stole His Car, not only because it was awesome, but just so that you can get to know the background of the other characters in this book.

Jessica Frances is an amazing writer and her words seem to flow effortlessly across the pages.  With a well-written story, likeable characters, and a mixture of romance and suspense, you simply can’t go wrong by giving this book a try – and while you’re at it, pick up the whole series.  You will not regret it!

Then Zander’s gaze turns back to me, and I don’t feel so warm and fuzzy toward him anymore. Instead, I feel as though I’m facing a judge and ready to hear the verdict on just how many years I’m about to be thrown in jail.

“You stole my car,” he growls.
“Yes.” No point denying it.
“You kidnapped my twelve-year-old brother.”
“Technically, yes. However, I wasn’t aware he was in the car at the time,” I pathetically try to defend my actions.
“You came back, though, even after I told you I was calling the police.” His stance is stern, but I see the same expression of curiosity that I saw earlier in Van.
“Yes.” I glance around again, waiting to see the flashing lights of a police car approaching in the distance. Instead, I see a lone officer in uniform approaching us.
I don’t recognize him as one of Brian’s friends, but that doesn’t mean he won’t hand me over to him.
I barely even got to enjoy my freedom away from Brian. Well, it technically wasn’t freedom since I was chased the entire time.
Why can’t I just catch a break?
I can’t stop myself from stepping away from the young officer, my body back to being tense and shaky. I hate that this feels normal to me now. It never used to be. Now it feels strange to feel relaxed.
“What’s wrong?” Van asks me, his concern sweet.
“Excuse me, but did I just hear you accuse this woman of stealing your car?” the officer asks, swinging his hand to rest on his side arm in what looks like a reflex.
Silence falls over us. Van looks as panicked as I feel. I can’t read Zander’s face, but he hasn’t confirmed the man’s words. That gives me a small amount of hope. Maybe he is the most forgiving man in the world.
