Holy crap what a cliffhanger. Thank god I have the next book. My god. Tons of sex. Strange people who seem to know everything except I can't figure out who they are. And murder. I love the craziness!

***** Another hit for Club Imperial *****


I have loved this series from the beginning. You are going to get lost in the character's stories and will fall hard for them. I love how we got to see the gang again in this installment. Killian and Cece's story will grip you from the beginning. That man is so sexy, and she is a hellcat. There is so much drama in this story that your head is going to spin. But that's what I loved about it. There are these two people that you don't know, and you think you have it figured out and then bam.... Back to square one!!!! We also get some new characters in the mix. Everette and John Smith who I love dearly. Well John we will see about. Killian and Cece have so much to deal with in this book, that I can't really describe their relationship without giving anything away. I just hope that they get their HEA whenever everything is said and done. They deserve it.

Katherine~ Fantastic job lady, the Shabari art was so much fun reading about, and I have always loved your characters backstory. You have had me from the start!

I bought this book to continue the story of Club Imperial. This is the story of Cece , Frances Michele Rabbe, known at the club as Dusty Rose. She is an expert in Shibari or rope art. She is forced by her mother and brother to marry Paul Wainwright. Will she loose everything including her freedom and her kink? Will she ever love Paul ?

DNF.

Undisclosed multiple M/m sexual interactions. Not merely allusions but actual delineated sexual contacts. I would not have purchased this had I known.

A Good Read

In very similar lines to the previous two books in the series.
I found the various character and A confusing at the start.

I loved this book there was very hot sex, some suspense and family drama. I don't like Chas at all he is extremely sleazy. I love Killian and Cece I don't like what is happening to them. I love Hannah and how much Cece loves her. I like Paul and the good guy he is. Killian is a Dom, Cece is a Domme talk about a power struggle. I can't wait to see where this relationship goes. Katherine Rhodes does a good job of combining suspense and great sex in one story. She keeps you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages. Katherine Rhodes does a good job of hiding details so you have a hard time figure who is behind things. This is really a good thing, I usually make a guess at being of the book and a lot of the time i'm right. I have some suspicions who is behind the mystery but know will guess. So I give credit to Katherine Rhodes this does not happen often. I can't wait to start Untied. If you have read the other Club Imperial Books, then in my opinion this book is a good addition and worth reading.

'Knots' (Club Imperial 4) by Katherine Rhodes is a fantastic read! Oh my goodness! I loved this story! I loved getting to know Cece and Killian. It was awesome to get more of Emmy, Nathaniel, Morgan, Nick D, and all my other favorites from Consensual, Broken Bonds, and Not Quiet Juliet. It was also great to meet some new characters, John Smith, and Elliot. This story is absolutely packed full of passion, drama, suspense, and humor. This is an awesome addition to the Club Imperial Series. Katherine Rhodes has written another amazing story! I can not wait to see what happens next in this series in Untied!
