Broken Knight (All Saints High Series) Paperback – August 16, 2019

Oh my marx..This book BROKE me. I finished this book at 1 in the morning, and I haven't even attempted to move on from there characters. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is the best book of 2019.Knight and Luna.. Even when I wanted to shake them, I loved them. There were so many miscommunications, assumptions, and angst between the two of them, but they are so young. Of course there will be mistakes made, of course there will be pain and tragedy, but the most beautiful things rise in the ashes of such tragedy, and the back and forth, not really friends anymore but always soulmates, was really spectacular to witness.What I loved the most about these two is that I totally understood both sides of their pain, their resentment, and their love. How was Luna supposed to know that Vaughn was waiting for her when he always threw girls in her face? How was Vaughn to know that his actions would lead to the disintegration of their friendship? But another thing I really loved? Even in their most painful times, if they needed the other one, they were always there for each other.I also loved how similar to Dean Knight was. How he used alcohol/drugs to drown his feelings when he was avoiding the reality of Rosie's health, the pain of having Luna the way he always wanted for a short time, only to lose her again, and finding out why exactly his birth mother gave him up.. The overlap between father and son was amazing.Seeing Luna literally find her voice was more than I could put into words. She always viewed herself as someone who needed saving, especially when Knight was doing the rescuing, but by finding herself she was able to realize that she's more than capable of standing on her own to feet, and standing up for herself. She never let Knight treat her like crap, no matter how much she loved him. (Which is something we rarely see in romance novels.) Having Luna actually talk to Trent made me cry as well. That was just a beautiful and heartbreaking scene.***major Spoilers ahead so stop reading if you haven't read this book yet!***Something else that I absolutely adored about this book? It was also a love letter to Dean and Rosie. They are one of my favorite couples in the Hot Hole series, and even though I knew it was coming, Rosie's death destroyed me. When Knight overheard Dean begging Rosie not to leave him, to at least give him five more years so they could watch their sons grow and love, I had to stop reading. I wanted a happy Hallmark ending where Rosie would suddenly get new lungs and kick Cystic Fibrosis ass, but rationally I knew that wasn't going to happen. In the beginning of Ruckus, Rosie herself states that her story doesn't have a happy ending, and even though I tried to prepare myself, losing her was like losing a loved one in my real life. Once I was able to start reading again, I immediately started crying when Dean brought Rosie home so she could die peacefully and with the ones she loves. The little snippets of Rosie's last conversations with everyone, and her telling Knight that he was always her favorite, made me cry even harder. I always loved the relationship Knight had with Rosie, and seeing them together for the last time was so bittersweet. But that was nothing compares to her last moments with Dean. I loved how even in death, Rosie wanted to make sure that her husband wouldn't die right along with her. No matter how impossible it seemed, she wanted him to be able to love again, because she knows how much love Dean still has to give. Then when she died in his arms,.. I'm reading up now even thinking about it. Rosie was such a beautiful character, and I loved how everything seems to be coming full circle.After learning about Dixie's past, the respect i had for her giving up her son so he could be loved like he deserved, is more than I can say. Whether or not Dixie has a platonic relationship with Dean, I have a feeling that she's going to help heal them, and that they in turn will heal her. The letter that Rosie sent to Dixie, asking her to stay and to help ease the pain of her dying, all the while having a relationship with their son, was just so perfect. As a reader, I selfishly don't want Dean to move on so soon, but knowing that it's with someone Rosie hand picked.. I think that's so beautiful.My feelings are so raw, but that's what makes Leigh's writing so amazing. This is easily her best book to date.❤❤**I loved Daria even more after reading this book. Not gonna lie, I have an insane girl crush on her.Vaughn and his hilarious self.. I'm so excited to see how he and Lenora will come about. I'm also so curious to see how his relationship will change with his mom, seeing as how she has no family members left.That proposal? So. Effing. Amazing. It was totally them, and it gave us all a much needed laugh after the pain of losing Rosie, and finding out that they were pregnant, it was like a little piece of Rosie came back to all of us.Don't just take my word for it, but read this book. It will destroy you, heal you, make you cry harder than ever, all the while thanking the author for this experience because this is what reading is all about. When a book heals us as much as it destroys us, that's how you know it's a story that will defy time.❤❤

"Forever wasn't long enough, not for a love like ours."Luna and Knight, not your typical childhood friends to lovers. Ever since we were kids, I knew it was you. Luna, the girl who didn't speak. Knight, the addict, the adopted kid. This book takes you on the journey of love, and how sometimes having it doesn't mean it's better for you. Life, you can't control it, especially when it throws you something you didn't want to catch. When Knight's life isn't as "perfect" as it once was, how does he handle it? So many things changing in his life all at once, so sometimes Knights don't always have to be the one who saves the day.Dean and Rosie, my sister's ex, life kept me away from you for 10 years, but now we're near full bloom.This book should really should get 10 stars but this is just wow. How did she make me cry, laugh, and feel all the feelings? Such a moving book. I still cry about it sometimes. That's okay. LJ Shen made the characters feel so real, like this actually happened to this person. This book changes your perspective on life. Earth-shattering, heart-breaking love. LJ, you broke my heart, then proceeded to heal it too, in the same book. Sometimes I don't know how you do it. I wish I could say more but this book has left me speechless. There is no amount of words you could say to completely describe the feelings you get from this book. How can we sum up this beautiful and amazing story in just a few sentences? You can't. So, if you haven't go read the book. Definitely worth reading.*Contains Spoilers* Also, I don't think Dean and Dixie are dating. I don't even think they are "in love", I think to Dean, Dixie is the closest female companion he can get. I think Dixie understands what Dean is going through, and Rosie asked her to have a relationship with Dean and Knight. I don't think they are dating I just think they are companions for each other, in a way that no one else can understand. Like that scene where Knight is drunk at the beach and he is going through his contact list and he doesn't know who to call because everyone has something else to worry about, and then the only one left is Dixie. I think that is the same way it is for Dean. Anyways such an amazing book, thank you LJ Shen for writing it!

L.J. Produced yet another hit.However this book was excruciating to read sometimes. The whole back and forth, like ships passing in the night? I don’t know how else to word it. I really just wanted to scream at the characters. I hurt for them. I don’t think I’ve ever been so annoyed with characters, they were so in love and so….. ugh. Just read it and you’ll see what I mean.

I loved this book! It is definitely part of a series and I would HIGHLY suggest reading the rest of the books in order, but this is my favorite. It was a definite tear jerker and I bawled like a baby at some points. The story wasn't just a love story, it was an everything story. Love, loss, angst, and a happy ending. Perfect.

I would recommend it to everybody if they knew this language ! It is the most emotional book from all these series. You can laugh and cry and you almost can feel the emotions of heroes in this book. I have never read a book with teary eyes but this book achieved my emotions come to surface. The scenes were so perfectly described.

I could feel the pain of Rosie and Dean. Close Feelings are captured in the moment . Though the story is about knight , I feel Dean and Rosie story over dominating . Pls do write the second chapter of Dean with his new journey

OK, I've been reading the Sinners of Saint books, and I have fallen in love with all of them, the characters are amazing, the writing is beautiful. I feel like I been inhaling them, read them in just one day (per book) non stopping. But this book in particular has a very special spot in my heart, it make me had so many emotions that I can't properly see because of the tars in my eyes. Thank you so bloody much to L.J. Shen for this beautiful book

At the beginning of this book I wasn’t sure if I would continue reading, I hate constant back & forth in relationships with no communication. But! I pushed through & I’m really glad I did.Knight was more complex of a character then I originally thought. He had his issues yes but he also had a heart of gold. His love for Luna was beyond measure & they always say you hurt the ones you love most. His love for his mom Rosie was so special. His addiction with drugs & alcohol surprised me a little. It really showed his torment with loving both his mom & Luna & dealing with the fallout of his actions. I wasn’t a huge fan of his at the beginning what with the back & forth between him & Luna but when we learn more about why he did what he did it does make sense.The character growth throughout this book was great. Luna became a strong, independent woman who learned to stand on her own two feet. Yes she made mistakes along the way but don’t we all. I hated the lack of communication between her & Knight that led to Josh but that’s just life & we as humans for the most part usually lack communication. I love how she stood up for herself at the end & demanded nothing short of everything. I never understood her silence for a long time, but I love how it played out in the end. Although I really thought she’d only ever be able to talk to Knight but I’m glad that wasn’t the case.Rosie.. oh Rosie. Her story within this book surprised me. I didn’t think she’d play as big of a part as she did. Her ending was heartbreaking & I wasn’t expecting it at all, which it just that much more sad. Throughout the book you kept hoping for a miracle, not only for her but for her entire family. I loved Rosie & Dean’s book so I was really rooting for a happy ending & although this ending was precious it wasn’t what I wanted for them. I know people move on & they should but I’m not sure I’m a Dean & Dixie fan.Overall this book had everything in it, heartbreak, love, family, addiction, inner battles, sadness & so much angst. A 5 star read for sure!

Leigh usually writes amazing books but this one really gave me all the feels. I recommend you read the entire series (Sinners of Saints series and Pretty Reckless) before you read this one. First, you won't be disappointed, second you will connect with Luna and Knight in a deeper level.I never cry reading, but she made me! I laughed too and I was extremely anxious when I knew what was going to happen. In fact when rumors started about the possibility, I thought she wouldn't do it and I loved her courage to give us what we needed, not what we wanted.Leigh surprised me with this one, because although I love the Todos Santos universe I never really connected with Rosie, Dean and Luna. Broken Knight came to change that for me. I fell in love with Knight and loved the girl Luna turned out through the story. Dean and Rosie are amazing parents and I loved their family.Well, this book is amazing and I'm always looking forward Leigh's words. It is a one-click definitely!

4.5 Stars!Broken Knight is not an easy read. I laughed and cried, my heart was broken and put back together, but honestly, I loved every page. It’s a story that shows you to live your life to the fullest because you don’t know what will happen tomorrow.Knight and Luna are inevitable - that’s a given from the start, but their journey to reach their HEA is bumpy, full of hurt, anguish and heartbreak. They are each other’s perfect match, their ride or die, always, whenever, forever.Leigh’s writing pulls you in to Luna and Knight’s world and you don’t want to leave. My heart was in pieces at times because of the strong emotions she brought out with her words. At one point I was sobbing, but it was so well written I couldn’t stop reading. Broken Knight is about more than heartbreak, it’s a story about healing and hope, that you can pick yourself up after suffering loss and come out the other side. It’s not a teen soap opera like the other books, it’s about two broken teens finding each other and figuring out who they are. It’s a story of how life goes on, even if you don’t want it to, but you need to make the most of every day.Knight has always been Luna’s protector, but underneath his cocky jock façade is a broken boy who is spiralling out of control. His feelings are so raw and real, he makes some questionable choices but his love for Luna is infinite, always willing to put her first. Luna is silent but mighty and evolves into the woman she was always meant to be, stepping out from behind Knight’s back and learning to defend herself and those around her. Her story is about finding herself, but also finding who she can be with Knight, an equal. Her actions are what’s best for both of them at the time, even when it hurts. Luna is my favourite ASH heroine; she loves hard and will do anything for her family.There are no words to really describe Broken Knight, the plot is something which consumes you and you have to read it to fully understand how it makes you feel. It’s a must read, not a fairy-tale but a realistic story that deals with hard topics perfectly.
