Knotted by the Psychopath
I came to the asylum to study a monster.
An alpha psychopath.
They warned me about him.
The other psychologists.
The guards.
Even the warden.
But when his scent hits me, my body responds in ways my clinical training never prepared me for. He watches me like he's memorizing the way I breathe. Speaks to me like he's reciting hungry prayers he wrote in my name.
And then he calls me his queen.
I should run.
I should scream.
I should remember what he is.
But the most dangerous thing about him isn't the blood on his hands.
It's how desperately I want those murderous hands on me.

I didn't enjoy anything about this. It was corny and overly dramatic and featured the most boring of tropes, insta-love.
Also, the FMC had been an accomplished career woman (psychiatrist, published author) but as soon as she met the MMC she didn't care about anything but staying up under him for the rest of her life. 😒

This series is on point so far!
This was a fun, hot little read. Taylor Rose always writes bangers and this one was no exception. At times it got a liiiiiiiiiitle repetitive for me but was still poetic and well written. Insta love of course. Loved the Joker and Harley spin off as that’s one of my favorite unhinged love stories.

Toxic, Messy and Obsession at its Finest!!!
I’m just gonna say it and not care if other people disagree. The way Rook retrieved his Queen is WAY BETTER than how Joker got Harlequin. There I said it!! 😈😜😂😂😂
The visuals, the music and the story combined was CHEFS KISSED. It was fun and heightened my senses. A true IMAX experience in book form. Loved everything.
I loved that Rook was awakened by a Book of his Queen without meeting her. Books be that powerful 😂😂😂
Bravo 👏🏽

Knotted is a gripping instalove, fated‑partners romance that leans unapologetically into the darker side of devotion. From the very first pages, the story establishes an intense, magnetic connection between its leads—one that feels inevitable, consuming, and impossible to escape. This is not a slow burn; it’s a spark‑to‑inferno kind of love story, driven by obsession, destiny, and emotional intensity.
What truly sets Knotted apart is its multimedia storytelling. The illustrations woven throughout the book add depth and atmosphere, visually reinforcing the characters’ emotions and the shadowy tone of the narrative. The included music links are a standout feature, enhancing key moments and allowing readers to fully immerse themselves in the smoldering mood of the story. Together, these elements elevate the reading experience beyond the page, making it feel cinematic and visceral.
Dark, passionate, and unapologetically intense, Knotted will appeal to readers who love morally gray characters, fated bonds, and love stories that toe the line between dangerous and irresistible. If you enjoy romance that’s a little twisted, emotionally charged, and enhanced by art and music, this book delivers a memorable and immersive experience.

Maannnn Listen… A Phenomenal Omegaverse That Left Me Wanting More
Maannnnn listen, Knotted by the Psychopath was a journey into a world I absolutely want to dive deeper into.
Usually in omegaverse, we only get omegas, alphas, and betas. But here, Taylor Rose introduced Gammas and Sigmas, and honestly, I need a deeper exploration of how they truly function within this world.
Then there’s the Trickster’s Court. I loved how each suit of cards had its own delegation and way of operating. The court itself felt like a living embodiment of a deck of cards. She even wove in a touch of tarot lore, especially the part about the lovers who fight while holding hands and never letting go of each other. That detail stayed with me.
This book was incredibly immersive. At the start of each chapter, there’s a link to songs that match the vibe of what you’re about to read. And the images throughout the book were phenomenal. If you’re reading on Kindle, I highly recommend opening the Kindle app afterward to see the artwork in full color. Those visuals are necessary to the experience.
This is my second Taylor Rose read, and it definitely won’t be my last. I truly hope she continues to expand this world. It was a phenomenal take on omegaverse, and I would love to read more.

😭😭😭😭
Girl we go together real bad. I literally crave your new releases. There's no one better than you, you hear me Taylor 🤣. I love as kenya but girl when you switch to Taylor I know without a doubt my satisfaction level it at its peak. Ive read knotted by the other author but I knew you were the only that will have me on edge. Willow never stood a chance against that sexy psychotic man Rook. The illustration the music baby imma need my copies before anyone else😌. Willow thought she scored big by interviewing the worlds most ruthless psychopath but little did she know that he planned it all. Ms Taylor on to other matters you left me stranded with the hunt I needed a 3rd book I'm still waiting girl 😒😒

Rook and Willow
Rook and his followers killed many unworthy alpha’s until 2 years ago they turn themselves in. Housed in a mental prison.
Willow writes a book about Rook. She is invited to interview him. For 12 years she hasn’t had a heat as an omega. As the warden walks her toward Rook’s cell his followers start chanting “the queen is here”to Willow. He stops at a door to let her walk toward Rook’s cell alone. The closer she gets she begins to smell something wonderful, then her body starts to react. Her suppressants aren’t working.
The book pulled me in and didn’t let go. They are obsessed with each other, Rook says she is his soulmate, Willow is just studying his case. Rook tells her she will soon find out….

Wow, that was unhinged, didn’t know I wanted or needed that.
I mean, I work in mental health and have to say, I don’t recommend fantasizing/romanticizing this in your real life, it’s really not going to get you the HEA you’re hoping for. So put your pen down, go ahead and throw that envelop you addressed to the state penitentiary in the garbage, and let’s leave this unhinged gem among our other unattainable fiction addictions (fae/shifters/vampires/demi-gods, etc).
Knot for everyone, but if you like dark, morally pitch black MMCs, short spicy OV reads, this might pleasantly surprise you, it definitely surprised me.
Two thumbs up, recommend if the above sounds appealing.

Love and Madness
"Valentine’s Day was a strange time to visit an asylum." Actually, it was perfect timing!
This story is the purest form of unhinged romance in all the best ways. Rook and Willow give chaotic Harley Quinn/Joker energy, twisted devotion, dangerous chemistry, with soul bond so intense their proximity alone ignites it. Watching their dormant emotions wake up and spiral into madness was everything! Dark. Deranged. Sexy. A beautifully broken love story. 💜

Knotted by the Psychopath by Taylor Rose
I enjoyed this ride into Taylor Rose’s mind. You really never know what to expect. I enjoyed the two main characters Rook and Willow Rook being the Psychopath, and Willow being the Fated Psychologist only she doesn’t yet know that she is the Trickster fated-bond mate! And little does she know that once she walks into the psychiatric hospital, big changes await her. Grab a snack and a drink and relax to find out what happens! ENJOY!

Willow and Rook
This story is completely over the top in a good way. Willow and Rook have an obsessive connection that works for them. I liked the whole idea of music being tied to the chapters. Made it fun to read.
I would've loved more if we got a few chapters from Rook's perspective.
Idk. The story was good. It was extra steamy. Rook was obsessed with Willow and only her would make him happy.

Willow and Rook
Willow was a psychologist who studied the insane and Rook aka the Jokester was the serial killer psychopath she studied for 5 years, writing a book about the gruesome murders he committed up until he surrendered. Their meeting in the hospital for the criminally insane was explosive, hot and so wrong on so many levels but oh so right, too.

Immersed in the enchanting world of paranormal romance and whimsical fairy tales, I find solace in the evocative melodies that transport me to realms of passion and emotion. The allure of a captivating narrative, coupled with the irresistible charm of a rebellious hero, creates an irresistible literary escape that leaves me breathless and yearning for more.

While I get that this story was inspired by Harley Quinn and The Joker, the execution wasn't good. The book didn't make sense to me, it felt disjointed and rushed. I didn't feel the chemistry between the characters and it just wasn't interesting. This was definitely not one of Kenya Wright's aka Taylor Rose best by any means. It could've been better.

One interview. One psychopath. One asylum burned to the ground.‼️
Taylor Rose didn’t just meet my expectations; she set them on fire.🔥🔥🔥 This retelling is everything I craved—dark, intense, and sinfully hot. 🥵🥵🥵 If the breakout was this wild, I’m terrified (and thrilled) for what comes next. Also, can we talk about The Broken Court? Because I am desperate for their secrets. 🥵🔥

Colorful and enthralling
Loved the imagery, the music and the dedication to the character's personalities. Willow didn't give in right away and Rook took his time breaking her. He is a true psycho. Once he got Willow, his demeanor didn't falter, it took on another possession. This was amazing writing.

intense
Very racy and deeply disturbing. The male main character isn’t gray but pretty evil. Except in his worship of Willow. This story is all about crazy obsession and possessiveness. I like my heroines with a lot more agency, but this way good for what it was. What you’d expect but more!

I loveKd, loved, loved, this book! The songs just added another layer of depth to the story.
I was skeptical about the music, but now, how do I read without a
playlist.

Love Taylor Rose
I loved the inclusion of illustrations and the songs to check out for each chapter. Taylor Rose books are always so dark and sexy that I have to read one as soon as they're available. I highly recommend this book and any of her work.

Queen tattoo?
I loved the book, the only thing I didn't like was that she didn't get a queen of hearts tattoo or a tattoo of a crown or something. I think that would've shown him that she truly had become his.

great reading experience 10/10
Loved this. I’m calling it an immersive experience. There was story, there was music, there were pretty things to look at. The author really crafted a beautiful work of art.

if love is madness I don’t want to be sane
This novella was a ride. Like I wasn’t sure where we were going and when we got there I was caught up by the court! Would love a life update of the couple. This was a fun read.

Rook is the man.
I devoured this book. I loved the action and the knotting. Also loved how Rook protected her. And I enjoyed how Willow evolved into the queen of the court. Great story!
