Blog Tour: Review+Excerpt: Broken Knight by L.J. Shen

Broken Knight, an all new standalone about first loves, betrayal and loss from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen, is available now!

Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending.

Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower.

Sweet.

Caring.

Charitable.

Quiet.

Fake.

Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the tree house who taught her how to curse in sign language.

Who taught her how to laugh.

To live.

To love.

Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero.

Gorgeous.

Athletic.

Rugged.

Popular.

Liar.

This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna.

But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore.

When life throws a curve ball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes.

Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy.

Review:

“ Shelly’s Book Corner received a review copy from Author. I voluntarily provided an honest review. This does not affect the opinion of the book or the content of the review.’’

This story put me through the ringer. My heart was in my throat the whole time I was reading. My feelings were all over the place and I am emotionally EXHAUSTED!!!

“There will be no one else, Moonshine. I will never let you get over me.”

The angst was so off the charts between Knight and Luna. I wanted to shake some sense into both of them for the way they treated each other in this story. Oh how my heart ached for Knight in this story. I wanted to reach into this book and fix my broken boy. 

This book has become my new favorite by L.J. Shen. It was raw, emotional, heartbreaking and heartwarming.  This is definitely L.J. Shen’s best book to date. The writing was flawless and passionate. I had tears in my eyes while reading and I had to take a break to compose myself. I have been in a book slump as of late and this book just put me into book hangover territory.

Excerpt:

Right now I wanted to just be here in silence with my best friend. And somehow, I don’t know how, but Luna sensed it. So we sat there for what felt like two hours but was probably a lot less, until I opened my eyes again. Her eyes were closed, too. I watched her for a while.

When she opened her eyes, it felt like she took something away from me.

“Let’s jump,” she said.

“I’m quite fond of my limbs, Moonshine.”

“Stop being such a big baby.”

“Big, quarterback baby who just finished a football season in one piece and would like to keep all his body parts intact.”

She crawled out of the tree house and settled on the branch. It was thick, but I doubted it could carry my muscular ass for more than a few seconds before snapping. I rolled my eyes and settled next to her. She slipped her hand in mine.

“Three, two, one.”

It was a short, sweet way down.
