London Mister #3
Potyczki z panem Knightem
Bonnie Casey wolałaby pracować dla samego diabła niż kogoś takiego jak Jack Knight.
Już dawno go rozgryzła – w jej oczach ten mężczyzna jest bezwzględnym biznesmenem traktującym Londyn jak należącą tylko do niego planszę do gry w Monopoly, a swoich pracowników – jak pionki.
W dodatku to bezczelny playboy.
Bonnie sądzi, że jest dla niego jedynie kolejną młodą architektką, błagającą o uwagę, by móc wziąć udział w jednym z jego projektów.
Gdy kobieta zostaje podwładną Jacka, urzeczywistnia się jej największa obawa – będzie musiała oglądać jego arogancki uśmieszek i zgadzać się na to, że gdy ten mężczyzna każe swoim ludziom skakać, oni zapytają, na jaką wysokość.
Bonnie już wie, że Knight to większy dupek, niż głoszą plotki.
I naprawdę nie może znieść faktu, że ten facet tak bardzo ją podnieca…

3.5 Stars
I really loved the first two books in this series and was ecstatic to get an ARC for this one's release. I couldn't WAIT for Jack's story and he was definitely everything I wanted him to be. That said, I didn't love this as much as I love the first two or as much as I thought I would - BUT, as a reminder:
3.5 stars is a POSITIVE rating, which means I DID like this book.
Jack and Bonnie had great chemistry and it was well done. The way their relationship developed was also cute. This whole read was an enjoyable reading experience overall.
So why not 5 stars?
I felt like Jack & Bonnie took a bit of a backseat to Max & Bonnie sometimes. The book starts with Bonnie fairly fresh from the breakup of a long-term relationship with Max. And that breakup acts as a bit of a touchstone throughout the entire book.
Bonnie's grief regarding the breakup sprouts up during understandable times throughout the book - even after she and Jack have started hooking up. And while that's, like I said, understandable in real life and wholly reasonable (after all, you don't want your heroine to look like a heartless shrew by somehow being able to move on too fast from an extended, serious relationship), it also felt like it took center stage a little too often for my liking. And not just in action, but in thought as well. Max and her breakup with Max occupied a lot of Bonnie's thoughts throughout the book. And it I felt like all of that drowned Jack out.
I didn't feel like enough time and attention was given to Bonnie and Jack to make me feel invested in the events of the ending. Their relationship felt rushed, unestablished, and without stakes.
Overall, through, my gripes might not strike others the same way. I did enjoy this overall and I think fans of the series will enjoy this well enough as well. Perhaps my expectations were too high and I'll ultimately upgrade it upon rereading. Or I just read this wrong the first time around. Time will tell.

I didn’t love this very much. Don’t get me wrong, the story was good and done well, the characters were amazing with great chemistry but I just hated that so much time was spent on the FMC’s ex. On top of that there was less cameo of the other characters I’ve come to love here than the previous books.
Overall not a bad read just not my favorite

Wow. Jack Knight is right up there with Danny Walker (Taming Mr. Walker) for favorite billionaires who are rough around the edges, a bit mean, have filthy mouths and give off blue collar energy which is cat nip to me.
I loved this story so much. Bonnie was such a great h and I loved how she stood up for herself both professionally and personally. There is some OM drama but not in a love triangle way and I felt the angst from her breakup so badly and thought it was written so perfectly and realistically. While I'm not an angst lover with the main couple I actually love it when it's about the h and her pathetic ex.
Also Bonnie and I are the same person 😂
"listening to my reverse harem audiobooks. Volume hitched as high as it will go. I pig out on takeaways in large pants and watch 365 Days on repeat getting unreasonably emotional."
Dream night in really.
The sex as always was off the charts hot and the sexual tension melted my Kindle.
If you enjoyed the first book in this series you'll absolutely love this one and it's of course got little updates about previous couples which I loved, especially Charlie and Danny updates.
I really enjoyed the side story about Jack's dad and his murder and felt that it was a great addition to the romance.
Also that final epilogue, I really really wish we got the full play by play of that, pretty pretty please 😂🙏
Now to wait for another book from this wonderfully talented author.

I didn't expect to like this book soo much...Just the typical office romance with a CEO boss romance. Well...it was that and so much moooore.
I liked Bonnie since the first couple of chapters and I think that she was very sweet and in the meantime fiesty. She wasn't giving to Jack's attitude. Most importantly she wasn't taking his crap. You can definately see that she was attracted to him since the beginning, but she was not trusting herself after the last heartbreak with her ex-boyfriend. But comon...how can you say no to such a man 😍😍😍!
Jack...he is my dream man. Sexy alpha man from every side and with a body of a God. Even beneath all the hard attitude he was really sweet. What I liked a lot was, that even though he knew Bonnie from before and was attracted to her, he didn't wanted to be the reason for her split with her boyfriend. He was waiting patiently and knew that someday she will be his ♥️.
There were some misunderstandings between them at first, but thankfully they were disolved quickly (all this to my liking 😎).
Last, but not least...I don't have words to describe the heat level between them. It was like an explosion of sexy naughty times. The chemistry between them was a literal 🔥. I loved reading those scenes between them ♥️♥️♥️!
I really really loved the book and I am thankful I had the chance to read Bonnie and Jack's story!

Eu adorei...adorei este casal, esta história e este livro!!! Foi a maneira perfeita de terminar a saga = com um livro fenomenal e inesquecível.
Adorei a componente de office romance, adorei todo o modo de ser da Bonnie e sim...amei de paixão o Jack (já o amava desde o primeiro livro então vê-lo finalmente a ser o foco foi épico!).
Esta história teve aqui algum mistério por detrás que as restantes não tiveram (e pessoalmente adoro isso) - pode ser um momento "chocante" para alguns leitores, devendar toda a verdade...confesso que eu adivinhei então foi só confirmar que estava correcta 😆 (mas foi incrível na mesma).
É um romance lindo com um casal muito forte que sabe claramente o que quer e precisa para ser feliz. Adorei e sem dúvida que vão deixar saudades.

Not as good as the first book, but miles better than the second.
BECAUSE I AM ON MY KNEES FOR JACK KNIGHT 🧎🏽♀️🧎🏽♀️ hello sir 😩🥴 ugh the man was god tier, almost too perfect and a knee to the balls reminder that fictional men do it best.
When she woke up after they’d first slept together and realised he’d put his necklace on her whilst she slept, the one his dead father gave him, I damn near passed away 😩💀 fixing all the stuff in her house?? Making sure she got home safe ?? 10/10 🙃
And their chemistry 🔥🔥🔥 off the scale. I also thought this one was funnier than the first. When Bonnie was tinder swiping for the first time I ROARED, the inner monologue nearly took me out.
Loved the Archie Knight plot line, that was different. But I do feel like their relationship development was rushed. His love declaration felt too soon, and I think this book would have benefitted from being slightly longer to further establish the stakes.
But overall LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️

I could not put this book down I started it Tuesday evening and finished it Wednesday afternoon I was sent a early release (ARC) for a honest review and I can honestly say it was gripping, I worried because I enjoyed the other two books in the series that it may not live up to them but it sure did! The only downfall now is that I read it to quickly and that it’s over with now I wish I could start all three again without knowing what happens! I cried, laughed and got a little steamy! Would highly recommend!

I like the other books in the series better. Not a big fan of this one. I don’t like what Jack did and she just took him back even when he said all those terrible things.

Uma das maiores desilusões do ano.
Tendo adorado o segundo volume e apreciado de forma considerável o primeiro, esperava que este superasse ambos. Lamentavelmente, não poderia estar mais enganada.
A narrativa desenrola-se a uma velocidade estonteante — e não no melhor dos sentidos. Em vários momentos, mais parecia tratar-se de uma novela breve do que de um romance pleno.
Apesar de alguma química entre os protagonistas, nada neste enredo parecia verdadeiramente coeso, com exceção da sequência inicial do casamento (não se trata de um spoiler, sosseguem os ânimos). Na verdade, não fossem esses breves instantes, dificilmente atribuiria mais de duas estrelas.
No final, restam apenas duas palavras para descrever esta leitura: que desilusão.
⸻
English
One of the year’s most profound disappointments.
Having adored the second installment and held the first in high regard, I fully expected this volume to surpass its predecessors. Regrettably, I could not have been more mistaken.
The narrative unfolded at a dizzying pace — and not in the best of ways. At times, it felt more like a brief novella than a fully realised novel.
Though there was a hint of chemistry between the protagonists, little within the story truly resonated, save for the initial wedding sequence (not a spoiler, rest assured). Indeed, were it not for those moments, this would scarcely have earned more than two stars.
In the end, only three words remain to sum up this experience: what a disappointment.

Jack and Bonnie. Bonnie has always blamed Jack for firing her dad many years ago. He is now a billionaire and has hired her architecture firm to work on his new project. They are now moved to his office building to complete the task. She has recently just broke up with her fiancee who is also her boss. Lot of tension, as Jack has secretly wanted Bonnie for a long time but did not approach her when she was getting married. Now she is free but angry at him and her ex.

1 thing I don't like about this book is the unnecessary misunderstanding, I know that's the formula in romance books, but the same misunderstanding happens over and over again.
I don't understand why the author keeps making it like Michelle Allard is something in this story when it doesn't even elaborate what her relationship/history is with the MMC.

Tropes: love after heartbreak / hero falls first / agp gap / workplace romance / billionaire romance / playboy hero & good girl / HILARIOUS banter
I absolutely LOVE Rosa Lucas and her books!! She is, hands down, my favourite find of the year! I just absolutely love her writing and storytelling.
My favourite part about it is the relatability of her female characters! They feel SO SO real and I truly believe that's what makes her stories so compelling. Well that, and, of course, the fantastic banter (which was FULL TO THE BRIM in this book), the swoony but DOMINANT MCs and the great buildup and tying up of all loose ends.
This third instalment in the London series follows Bonnie, who after recently being dumped by her ex-fiance (who is also her boss), has the opportunity of a lifetime when the company she works for as an architect wins a bid to work with the hottest property development in London - the Lexington Group, owned by none other than Jack Knight.
Jack Knight is just P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N. I love this man. He's equal parts swoon and alpha and I fell so hard for him. I also absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Bonnie. The girl is my spirit animal. I need her to be real.
I really have nothing to add other than to tell you to READ THIS BOOK now, now now and once it releases on 17 November!
I read this as a beta and it was so so good that I didn't put it down the entire time, and literally finished reading it in 6 hours on my day off. Enough said!

Of the London Mister books, I found this one to be my favorite. The passionate romance between Jack and Bonnie is followed in this last book. These two were so tense with one another that it was apparent there was more between them, yet I adored them together from the start. My only problem with this book was the conflict at the end. I don’t want to spoil it, but I feel like the conflict was solved too quickly. I would have loved to see it develop more. Regardless, I still loved these two, and I enjoyed this book!

Não foi o meu favorito, talvez dos três foi o que menos gostei, ou então ia com as expectativas muito altas.
Ainda assim foi uma leitura muito agradável, perfeito para ler nas férias.

It had a good storyline. Fast paced which was good & luckily non of that toxic behavior of these billionaires going to confide in the next woman they see. I’m glad Jack confided in his punching bag vs Michelle.

“Ouve, Bonnie, tu és forte. Não precisas de mais ninguém para te ergueres. Vais perceber isso. Mas se me quiseres, eu estou aqui. Não te esqueças.” 🥹
Não foi o meu favorito da coleção mas acho que foi um bom livro para terminar, em termos das personagens acho que foi bem desenvolvido (para o género de livro que é) e conseguimos perceber as suas cicatrizes e a profundidade das suas emoções.
Contudo, houve algumas atitudes que me irritaram um pouco.
Acho que o Jack é o meu MMC favorito da coleção! Muito fofo 🤌🏼

„Jeśli wygramy przetarg, będzie to jeden z najbardziej ekscytujących epizodów w mojej karierze.
Haczyk?
Jack Knight.
Po tym, co zrobił, wolałabym pracować dla szatana przy projektowaniu piekła.”
Już podczas naszego pierwszego spotkania Rosa Lucas urzekła mnie lekkością pióra, które zabarwione jest idealną dawką humoru i dozą pikanterii. „Potyczki z panem Knightem” to już trzecia wydana u nas powieść autorki i po raz kolejny absolutnie nie zawodzi! Co więcej, uważam, że każda jej kolejna książka jest lepsza niż poprzednia, a progres w jakości kreowanych historii jest niesamowicie dostrzegalny.
Głównymi bohaterami są Bonnie i Jack. Ona – świeżo po rozstaniu z narzeczonym, z którym wkrótce miała wziąć ślub, na dodatek nadal jest jej szefem. On – przez lata dorobił się reputacji aroganckiego playboya otaczającego się wianuszkiem kobiet. Do tego dochodzą sprawy z przeszłości, które wzbudzają w Bonnie niechęć względem Jacka oraz wizja nadchodzącej współpracy, która jest jej wyjątkowo nie w smak, ale jest też szansą na upragniony awans. Już od pierwszego spotkania dostrzegalne są między nimi iskry. Z jednej strony widzimy tę niechęć, ale podszytą niebywałym pożądaniem. To mieszanka idealna dla każdej fanki motywu „enemies to lovers”. Rosa Lucas wykreowała między nimi naprawdę przyjemną chemię, a ich perypetie wciągają od samego początku.
„Spogląda na mnie z takim żarem w oczach, że serce łomocze mi w piersi.
Zdenerwowanie. Tak właśnie się czuję. To zarówno błogosławieństwo, jak i przekleństwo.”
Autorka oprócz humoru i pikanterii stawia na emocje. W moim odczuciu ten tom serwuje ich najwięcej. Dzieje się tu sporo za sprawą rozstania Bonnie, ale też pogłębiającej się fascynacji między nią a Jackiem. Widzimy, że niełatwo jest się pozbyć przypiętej łatki, a budowanie zaufania na nowo bywa trudne. Jack pokazuje nam się od zupełnie nowej strony, która niesamowicie mnie urzekła. Choć przywykł do tego, iż kobiety padają mu do stóp, to jednak Bonnie jest tą, dla której pragnie się starać, a to uczucie towarzyszy mu od dawna. To było naprawdę urocze, ale też emocjonalne, bo musiał przy tym pokonać wiele barier. Nie tylko swoich, ale też tych, którymi otoczyła się Bonnie. Bardzo podobało mi się to, że Rosa Lucas postawiła na budowanie napięcia między nimi. Ten zabieg wyszedł rewelacyjnie, bo po drodze skutecznie „przeszkadzała” naszym bohaterom. Nic nie dzieje się między nimi zbyt szybko, a kiedy dochodzi do czegoś więcej, jest gorąco i zmysłowo. Czytelnik nie ma też problemu, by uwierzyć w rodzące się między nimi uczucie, bo oparte jest na więzi emocjonalnej i zaufaniu. Choć i tutaj pojawiają się schody.
Bardzo ciekawym wątkiem jest tu sprawa zabójstwa ojca Jacka. Wprowadza ona dozę tajemniczości, napięcia, niepewności, a nawet zaskoczenia. Budzi zaintrygowanie tym, jak się zakończy. Muszę przyznać, że tu autorce udało się naprawdę świetnie to poprowadzić, bo nie byłam pewna, jak uda się to rozwiązać.
Nie mogłabym nie wspomnieć o tym, jak na przestrzeni tych trzech książek z serii „London Mister” ewoluowało pióro Rosy Lucas. Widać, że autorka przykuwa większą uwagę do dopracowania, a także nie stawia na utarte schematy. Mimo iż każdy tom opiera się na motywach różnicy wieku oraz romansu w pracy, to jednak każdy jest na swój sposób wyjątkowy. I ja to uwielbiam!
„– Nie patrz na moje niedoskonałości.
– Wszelkie twoje »niedoskonałości« zamierzam zawrzeć w moim banku gorących widoków, chcę je zapamiętać na później.”
„Potyczki z panem Knightem” wraz z poprzednimi tomami serii „London Mister” to historie, które lekkością, gorącym romansem, brytyjskim humorem i emocjonalnością porywają od pierwszych stron. Rosa Lucas w każdej z tych powieści stworzyła wyrazistych, wyjątkowych i budzących sympatię bohaterów, których losy śledzi się z największą przyjemnością. Tę serię pokochałam właśnie za to, że swoim klimatem odrywa od rzeczywistości. Autorka swoimi opowieściami przenosi nas do klimatycznego Londynu, gdzie wraz z paczką przyjaciół po prostu czujemy się jak w domu. Polecam z całego serca i mam nie taką znowu cichą nadzieję, że wkrótce doczekamy się jej kolejnych książek.

Już podczas naszego pierwszego spotkania Rosa Lucas urzekła mnie lekkością pióra, które zabarwione jest idealną dawką humoru i dozą pikanterii. „Potyczki z panem Knightem” to już trzecia wydana u nas powieść autorki i po raz kolejny absolutnie nie zawodzi! Co więcej, uważam, że każda jej kolejna książka jest lepsza niż poprzednia, a progres w jakości kreowanych historii jest niesamowicie dostrzegalny.
Głównymi bohaterami są Bonnie i Jack. Ona – świeżo po rozstaniu z narzeczonym, z którym wkrótce miała wziąć ślub, na dodatek nadal jest jej szefem. On – przez lata dorobił się reputacji aroganckiego playboya otaczającego się wianuszkiem kobiet. Do tego dochodzą sprawy z przeszłości, które wzbudzają w Bonnie niechęć względem Jacka oraz wizja nadchodzącej współpracy, która jest jej wyjątkowo nie w smak, ale jest też szansą na upragniony awans. Już od pierwszego spotkania dostrzegalne są między nimi iskry. Z jednej strony widzimy tę niechęć, ale podszytą niebywałym pożądaniem. To mieszanka idealna dla każdej fanki motywu „enemies to lovers”. Rosa Lucas wykreowała między nimi naprawdę przyjemną chemię, a ich perypetie wciągają od samego początku.
„Spogląda na mnie z takim żarem w oczach, że serce łomocze mi w piersi.
Zdenerwowanie. Tak właśnie się czuję. To zarówno błogosławieństwo, jak i przekleństwo.”
Autorka oprócz humoru i pikanterii stawia na emocje. W moim odczuciu ten tom serwuje ich najwięcej. Dzieje się tu sporo za sprawą rozstania Bonnie, ale też pogłębiającej się fascynacji między nią a Jackiem. Widzimy, że niełatwo jest się pozbyć przypiętej łatki, a budowanie zaufania na nowo bywa trudne. Jack pokazuje nam się od zupełnie nowej strony, która niesamowicie mnie urzekła.
