He Loves Me… KNOT is the second RC Boldt book I’ve read, the first being Blue Balls. While Knot isn’t the laugh-out-loud romcom that BB is, I think I actually may have loved it even more. And I liked BB a lot!

Knot had me eagerly clicking through page after page, wondering what the heck had happened that split up Emma Jane and Knox to begin with. They both clearly still loved each other, but hated each other at the same time. What happened on their wedding day that left them both so utterly heartbroken, feeling they were the victim, and blaming the other?

By sprinkling in scenes from EJ and Knox’s past, Boldt created a wonderful tale of yearning, loss, heartbreak and soulmates. The tension between EJ and Knox jumps off the page just as much as the yearning and desire that still so strongly runs between them. It takes a good, long time before they actually confront what happened the day they planned to marry, which only had me anticipating the moment more. The reason why EJ left Knox at the altar turned out to be a bit lame, in my opinion, BUT it doesn’t involve cheating, which scored big points in my book. Otherwise, I don’t think I would have still been as invested in these two working out their issues and getting back together.

Overall, He Loves Me…Knot was an engaging, fun, all-the-feels read. I loved EJ and Knox’s friends, the use of history, and is full of charm that equals Southern gentleman Knox Montgomery. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
