I was very excited for Knox’ book and let me tell you it was great! We meet Knox Wellington in Ignite, which is book 1 of the Explosive series. Knox is a bad boy and oh so sexy, but like all bad boys there’s a reason for this tough exterior. Knox was once in love, but was badly burned when he caught his girlfriend cheating with one of his brothers. This led him to not trust any woman and he also distanced himself from his family after this betrayal. He was hardened and decided to join the Army and get away.  The only family he keeps in contact with his is younger brother Cohen.Knox Wellington and his best friend Jace McAllister are both injured in a road side explosion while serving in the Army. After Knox is released from the hospital, Cohen sets up a volunteer to help Knox get to appointments and for some help around the house. This is where Charlie Davenport enters the picture. Knox being the tough Army guy he is, doesn’t feel like he needs help or a babysitter and definitely not that of Charlie Davenport. It’s clear that these two don’t like each other. Knox is cocky and Charlie doesn’t tolerate that at all.  Charlie isn’t your typical heroine. She’s tough and doesn’t put up with anyone’s crap including super sexy Knox Wellington. She was raised by her father, loves to box and can hang with the boys.The dance between these two are funny, sexy and entertaining. They go toe to toe many times, fight and ultimately give in to feelings that they have for each other. They both have strong personalities and unfortunately have both been hurt in the past. But they compliment each other very well.  Charlie is what Knox didn’t realize he needed.Knox’ story has such depth.  Yes he’s a bad boy and arrogant, but when we finally see through all of that and get to his soft sweet side, it was amazing!  Charlie and Knox together are so real.  The back and forth between the two and the issues were believable.  It wasn’t rushed or insta, but just perfect.  Tessa Teevan created an incredible follow up in this series and I loved every minute of it.
