Blog Tour Review: Hard Knox – Nicole Williams

Posted September 1, 2014 by Shannon in Blog Tour, Reviews, Shannon / 0 Comments

Hard Knox FrontKnox Jagger. The name inspires resent in every male at Sinclair University, want in every female, and contempt in Charlie Chase.

Charlie can be summed up in three words: independent, independent, and independent. To Charlie, Knox epitomizes everything that’s wrong with college males: prolific one-night stands, drunken senseless fights, and a body that hints at prioritizing gym time over study time.

As an up-and-coming writer for Sinclair University’s newspaper, Charlie’s tasked with getting to the bottom of who’s been dropping little white pills into girls’ drinks at parties. In an ocean of All-American boys sporting polo shirts and innocent smiles, Knox is the obvious suspect. As evidence piles up against the bad boy of Sinclair, Charlie becomes more and more certain it isn’t Knox. But when her drink is dosed at a party and she wakes up on Knox’s couch the next morning, Charlie’s left with more questions than answers when it comes to Knox Jagger.

How can Charlie ever hope to uncover the truth behind a guy so closed off he’s become . . .

Hard Knox.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

There hasn’t been a Nicole Williams hero that I’ve met that I haven’t loved. Β Knox Jagger is no exception. Β The bad boy with the incredibly squishy center was the perfect hero in this book and the clear case of never judging a book by it’s cover.

Charlie and Knox have a rough start to their relationship…mainly Charlie was a bit stubborn and didn’t like Knox thinking he could waltz in protect her. Β  When Knox ends up saving her at a party she was working, she discovers there’s so much more to Knox and he was someone she was willing to break all her rules for.

I loved the chemistry between Knox and Charlie. Β You knew, when Charlie agreed to let Knox help her investigate the use of date rape drugs on campus, that neither of them was going to be able to stick to their friends only rule. Β Knox slowly let Charlie discover the man he really is. Β The man who was riddled with guilt over his part in his sister’s tragic ending and his determination to bring justice to her. Β And when push came to shove and Charlie had to prove she believed in who Knox was, despite what might be put in front of her face, she discovered she had a lot of faith in him.

I always enjoy Nicole Williams books. Β They’re always full of angst, emotion, and a few smiles here and there. Β HARD KNOX was no different and it was an absolute dream to read and left me wanting more from our friends at Sinclair University.
