Keeping Knight

Fox & Falcon Securities #2

by Gia Cobie

Seeing Micah was the best part of my week.

I didn’t sign up for a cooking class as a way to meet men. But my handsome partner made it really hard to remember why I wanted to stay single.

It wasn’t the right time. I had too much else going on. I’d been burned before, and had no desire for it to happen again. They were all reasons that should have been enough to convince me. Still, I couldn’t stop thinking about him.

Then I’m violently attacked, and Micah shows up just in time to save me. Hurt, scared, and still in danger, when he asks me to stay with him for my protection, I agree.



If I’d arrived minutes later, I wouldn’t have saved her.

I’d seen a lot of bad things during my years in the Army, but bursting into Ruby’s apartment to find a man trying to kill her was one of the worst.

Seeing the fear in her eyes and the darkening bruises her attacker left behind filled me with a rage I’ve never felt before. And, in that moment, I knew I’d do anything to protect her.

As a former Delta Force operator, I have the skills to keep Ruby safe. So it only makes sense to take her home with me. Except the more time I spend with Ruby, the more I fall for her. And the more determined I am to never let her get hurt again.



Keeping Knight is a friends-to-lovers story featuring a wounded but strong heroine, a former Delta Force operator turned K-9 handler, a security team comprised of veterans, found family, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and plenty of unexpected twists. Can be read as a standalone. HEA guaranteed

348 pages, Kindle Edition

4.5 stars.

You know what? This is fast shaping up to be my new favourite Gia Cobie series. The F&F world, while connected to the others, feels fresh and new, and the guys are so intriguing. Knight, nicknamed so for being half-British with a knighted father, is the quintessential GC MMC - he’s protective (while respecting the hell out of the FMCs right to choose what happens in her life), he’s smart, and he says all. the. right. things 😮‍💨 (also, Gia if you’re reading this… British hero when???) Ruby is such a great FMC as well. Their flirty first couple of chapters are so cute and it was clear as day to me that they were perfect for each other before we’d even got to the suspense portion of the book. And speaking of, Ruby… you need to get far away from that apartment building. And finally, if you’re an epilogue truthist like me: it’s a good one. It has everything you’d want in it.

Anyway, I’m gonna go start a summoning circle for book three.

Thank you Gia Cobie for the ARC. This review is honest and voluntary.

Captivating reading so I know other readers will love this story as much as I have
A simply wonderful start of a new series of the Fox and Falcon and I loved the story I found it to be simply outstanding and I found the friendship, adventure and suspense is simply a captivating read.
Ruby and Micah are wonderful characters and the way that they had met in a cookery class was something very different and the fact that both of them needed some help for burned biscuits, and meatballs. However, the fact that they were both able to laugh at their mistakes which made all the difference in this story.
They begin to spend more time together and they become very firm friends, Micah ever the gentleman walks Ruby home to ensure that she is safe and sound arriving at her door. Then as time progresses and as things move on it soon becomes apparent that there is a great deal more between this simply wonderful couple.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

Gia Cobie is one of my favourite authors, and I absolutely love how her series intertwine. Reading one of her books really does feel like catching up with old friends - and Keeping Knight was no exception!

The story begins in one of the most unlikely places… a cooking class! But don’t be fooled into thinking things are going to stay calm for long. Before you know it, Gia Cobie has catapulted us into another exciting, twisty adventure that kept me turning the pages.

I read this one in a single sitting, completely falling for the gorgeous Micah and desperately rooting for him and Ruby to get the happy ending they so deserve.

This book has everything - romance, danger, excitement, twists and turns… and DOGS!What more could anyone possibly want?

Another fantastic read from Gia Cobie, and I’m already impatiently waiting for the next book in the series. Definitely recommended!

This new series of Fox and Falcon is outstanding. The love, friendship, adventure and suspense is so much more than expected. Ruby and Micah meet in a cooking class. Of course they both need help. From burning the biscuits to meatball rocks, but they both laugh at themselves and some of the other students. Neither one is looking for romance. They both have had disappointing relationships and figure being single is best. That doesn’t stop them from becoming friends and wanting to spend more time together. So as a gentleman Micah insists on walking her home from class each week. Then one night after Ruby is safe in her building, Micah realizes he forgot to give her the leftovers she brought home. He decides to take them up to her apartment, hoping she asks him in for coffee.

I read Keeping Knight in one day. I fell into the story from the very first page and was invested in seeing how it ended. The cooking class made me laugh, I love how they worked together, made mistakes, and laughed at each other. Their attraction to each other is obvious right from the beginning. When Knight and Ruby were together the sparks flew.

This series is going to be so good. Each character in this book is protective, loving, and the type of friend everyone needs. I love that all the men of Fox & Falcon have a history together and I cannot wait to learn their stories.

Thank you to the author for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

I really loved "Keeping Knight!"

Ruby and Micah’s story had everything I enjoy—protectiveness, suspense, forced proximity, and plenty of emotion. Micah was such a caring and protective hero, and I loved watching their relationship develop from friendship into something more. Ruby was strong despite everything she’d been through, and I really enjoyed their chemistry. The found-family aspect and the K-9 element were wonderful additions too. A great read with plenty of heart, suspense, and a satisfying HEA! I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Keeping Knight starts out fast paced and full of action than transitions into the I'm attracted to you emotional roller-coaster move from friends to something more than moves back into the action packed drama filled twisty surprises filled ending .

I received an advance reader's copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving this review.

I love this series and I definitely love this book enough that I can read it again later. Ruby has absolutely no idea why someone would want to kill her. Micah is determined to try find out. It's scary to know there are people determined to harm others because of what they themselves think. Micah's company is the best at helping to keep her safe.

[Christina]

ARC review. As always I ate this one right up! I love these books! Romantic suspense with spice and love. Micah and Ruby were so cute together and really complimented each other. Can’t wait for the next book!

[Ela La1978]

It all starts with cooking. Who doesn’t like a guy who wants to cook. When he turns out that his Nick name is not only for show. When danger closes in her knight protects her, will they keep guarding their heart or will melt as it does for Sampson.

[Katherine Horvath]

Keeping Knight: It was sweet, fun, intense, and adventurous. I loved Micah and Ruby; they were right for each other. They enjoy each other's company; they laugh with each other; she understands him, and he does the same for her. Fantastic writing and story!

[Country Girl]

This is such a wonderful story with great characters and it all starts in a cooking class. It begins light hearted but soon takes a turn.

Micah and Ruby’s story is a great addition to the Fox and Falcon Security series.
"Thank you for writing this story.”

[Susan]

A riveting addition to the Fox and Falcon Securities series. Fast-paced storyline with twists and turns that kept me hooked from start to finish. Well written with an engrossing mix of engaging characters, action, suspense, romance and spice. Recommended!

I loved reading this story, but didn't care much for the female character, I would have liked someone with more spine and more confidence. HEA.
