Blog Tour - Hard Knox by Nicole Williams




My Thoughts

Charlie is a reporter for her college newspaper and decides to follow up her last article disclosing her virginity with an article on underage drinking. For research she attends a fraternity party and ends up having her drink laced with a date rape drug. She is rescued by the person she least expected - Knox - who is known on campus as a bad boy. They come up with a plan to work together to find out who drugged her and she ends up drugged a second time. Knox decides the best thing would be for Charlie to move in with him for protection until they can find the person targeting her. They begin to move past the rumors of who they are and really get to know each other. When the truth comes out about who it is coming after her, it will be in a moment that is so scary and only one person had the ability to save her...Knox.

I absolutely adore Charlie. She's smart and snarky with a penchant for words of wisdom on her tshirts. I so enjoyed her banter with Knox and her best friend. I laughed out loud a lot due to Charlie's wit. I loved Charlie and Knox together. Even when they were both fighting their attraction, they were combustible. Once they gave in to their desire for each other, there was that mix of sweet and sexy. Who knew that Knox could be so tender. I heart Knox and that heart broke a little when he shared that no one ever wanted him to be the first in anything. This was a darling story with a bit of mystery and sass. 

I give Hard Knox 4 hearts!




About the Book

Knox Jagger. The name inspires resentment 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.
