Book #1-Hell on Wheels** This first book in the Black Knights Series grabbed me from the start with its smart writing, riveting suspense and sizzling sexual tension. We are introduced to the ex-seals and ex-marines that comprise the shadowy world of black-ops that operate out of a custom motorcycle shop in Chicago. Their missions are clandestine and dangerous.  Nate is riddled with guilt over the death of his best friend, Grigg, Ali’s brother.  Ali is head over heels for Nate and can’t seem to figure out why he pulls away from her. Ali needs Nate to help her with a stalker and threats to her life. Julie Ann walker can deliver the action and suspense and still give us hot romantic interludes.  This read propelled me to read more of the series.  Try it; I guarantee you will like it. 4-starsBook #2-In Rides Trouble**Another wild, sexy ride with the Black Knights.  In book #1, HELL ON WHEELS, we met Frank Knight, the boss of the group, and Becky their crack mechanic.  Both have been pining for the other for a few years without either making a move.  But that doesn’t mean they are not all wrapped up in each other.  Frank leads the team to save Becky but Becky also has learned a thing or two from the team and holds her own with the bad guys. This series is a red hot read with Alphas all over the shop.  There is lots of action, interesting situations and sizzling sex. 4-starsBook #3-Rev It Up**This, the third book in Julie Ann Walker’s Black Knights Series, is the most exciting, breathless one yet.  Wait a minute….that’s what I thought about each of the first two in the series.  Walker just keeps turning out sizzling hot alpha men and the women who can’t keep their hands off of them.  Skillful characterization, smart plotting, humorous touches and sublimely sensual love scenes makes this a very satisfying read.  We are treated to the romance of not only Jake “snake” Sommers and Michelle Carter but also the sparks are flying for Vanessa and Rock who will get their highlight in the next book, Thrill Ride. 4-starsWhen I checked out the series I thought I might get a better feel for the series if I bought the beginning books and read them before the more recently published.  Well! I never expected to get hooked so quickly.  Thank goodness I bought the bundle because I didn’t have to wait to just keep reading.  If you like the idea of motorcycle riding, trash talking, alpha males who basically do all the government dirty work and the women who bring them to their knees, then this is the series for you….and me. Yes, you should read this series from the beginning since you will get a better understanding of the characters and background.  I found these books are available in both e-reader and paperback but the bundle is only available in e-reader format. 4-starsBlack Knight Series by Julie Ann Walker:1. Hell On Wheels (Nate and Ali)2.
