Ben Knight has held a lot of titles — devoted son, big brother to six siblings, captain of the Marine’s Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team and his best-known gig of Louisiana playboy. But the ladies are just going to have to understand that his time’s stretched thin when he takes on the leadership of a new special ops force.
With his brothers as sidekicks.
Worst idea ever. But a decision Ben has no control over, and control is his middle name. Actually, it’s Bartholomew but thank God nobody knows that, except one pretty little brown-eyed Cajun girl with access to too much information about the Knight family and an oh-so-sweet sassy mouth. A mouth that he’s never forgotten even though it’s been three months since he’s last had her in his bed, against a wall and over a barstool.
Dahlia was a victim of the notorious Ben Knight’s love-’em-and-leave-’em lifestyle, and it ticks her off that she can’t forget him. Maybe it’s that bad-boy smile or the way he looks like sin poured into low-slung jeans. When he comes sniffing around again, her libido makes her jump into action — and straight into a world of secrets surrounding Ben. Leading her to question whether her heart can withstand a life with a man who might not be alive tomorrow.

>Book Review – All Knighter >I am an independent reviewer. This book is the 1st in the Knight Ops series and ends in an HEA. Ben is a retired marine forced back into service leading his brothers and one other in a counter terrorist group. Dahlia is Ben’s one night stand that quickly turns in to more. Neither Dahlia nor Ben realizes she is the daughter of the commander of Ben’s unit. The interactions between the family members are so funny, especially how the brothers interact with each other. When one of their sisters has a shady boyfriend, the alpha tendencies in all the brothers come to the forefront. >This story deals with the stress of a tough job, in Dahlia’s case, being a 911 operator. Loving someone who is in danger as a job is also dealt with. The actual operations are only mentioned a little as the relationship between Dahlia and Ben is the most important part of the story. Ben has to leave a lot, often with no explanation. Dahlia has a hard time being left behind in the dark. >This book is appropriate for an adult audience. The romance scenes are beyond hot. The scenes are like ghost pepper hot! I am giving this book 5 stars. I love this new series and cannot wait to see more of the Knight brothers.
A new series by one of my favourite authors – including military men who are a team of six brothers? No arm-twisting required to have me diving headlong into the kindle!
Sparks. Chemistry. Heat. Ben and Dahlia had that and more when they met and dived instantly into each other’s arms. Would it be a one-night stand or something more substantial, more fulfilling? That was the dilemma in their emotional back and forth struggle to find common ground. Passion wasn’t the problem, it was real life outside of the bedroom that caused the anger and sadness…
I liked these characters and felt their pain as they tried to work and push through one challenge after another. They each brought baggage with them that reared its ugly head, forcing its way into their budding relationship. There was drama, soul-searching and immovable objects that forced both of them to figure out and admit what was important.
I loved this sexy, at times funny, all times emotional start to the series!
Enjoyable enough read and I loved the Knight family. Just thought there was more sex than story for me. I finished thinking that I knew very little about these two apart from some very basic facts. Will probably read Sean's book if it is in KU too.
Ben is ready to retire from the military, and he can't stop thinking about Dahlia, his one-night-stand from a couple months ago. The story picks up with Ben getting called back to serve as the head of a new anti-terrorist team with his four younger brothers - each a skilled and experienced military hero as well, while at the same time he gets a second chance to reconnect with Dahlia, who likewise hasn't forgotten their previous encounter.
Dahlia and Ben have chemistry in spades, but the on-call nature of his job leaves her feeling he's flighty and unreliable, at least until they get far enough in their relationship to exchange last names - and that's when the romance really gets interesting! I should have seen that twist, but it truly caught me by surprise - in a very good way. This surprise adds a couple new layers to their relationship at a time when they're still struggling to define what they mean to each other. Their love scenes are among the hottest I've ever read - this author is known for bringing the heat to all of her stories, and this one is one of her best.
I loved the set up for the ensuing series, as each of the Knight brothers is introduced and we also get to know their two younger sisters and their parents, providing the characters with a strong family foundation that adds depth and history beyond the usual cast of secondary characters. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Hot topic book and very interesting read. Am looking forward to the rest of the series to find out about the rest of the brothers. Yanked out of retirement to be the Captain of all his brothers in a Special Ops Force, Ben Knight does not really want to do this but duty calls and he cannot say no to his country. This book starts out hot and heavy with Ben connecting with a petite girl in a bar and one thing leads to another and they find themselves in bed enjoying wild, passionate love. They part ways and cannot forget each other nor the connection they felt even though he is a love'em and leave'em kind of guy. Months later they hook up again and again but each time Ben leaves before Dahlia wakes up because he is called away for duty. She does not even know what he does nor his last name - nor he hers! When he discovers who her father really is, it is a big shock to all. The question is: Can the father keep them apart? Only time will tell and if true love will be enough. Great book and a great start to a new series! Em Petrova never fails to satisfy with great reads - steaming hot and sexy. This book is extremely entertaining, captivating, and interesting - wonderfully written with sexy, strong characters. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
What a sweet, romantic, steamy and intense read that I just loved. Ben is patriotic, charismatic, sweet and sexy. Dahlia is strong, caring and unsure. Sometimes a one night stand means more to two people who can’t forget it, the passion, the touches, kisses that they are left wanting more. Neither Ben nor Dahlia could forget the one night they stayed in each other’s arms, the passion and emotions won’t go away as their minds keeps going back to that one night. Two people who do not want to be hurt the other or get themselves hurt but fate keeps bring their world together they are finding it harder to turn away.
This was a fun read with wonderful characters, you are so going to love Ben’s family they were a lot of fun. Ben is a character that every woman dreams of having. Dahlia is such a sweet and loving woman. This two blend so well together. It was a pleasure watching them fall in love. The scenes are great you have no trouble picturing them there are some very touching scenes that will stick with you. A totally enjoyable read from start to finish. ****************
What a amazing start to a new series. I can't wait for more!!
Ben Knight is forced out of retirement to lead a Special Ops group that ends up being his brothers. He is not happy about this at all. However, he accepts his new role and they start to work out some of the kinks of being on a special ops force together.
While he is working that out, he is also trying to figure out why he can't seem to get this one particular woman out of his head. Ben is a love and leave them type of man so why does Dahlia have such a strong hold on him.
I really enjoyed these two characters. They were both headstrong and independent but yet when they got together it was smokin!! I loved reading about them trying to figure out a relationship when at first they weren't being completely honest to each other about who they were and when that came to light what that means for them as a couple.
What a brilliant start to a series that looks like it is going to be a scorcher
Ben Knight ha just been put in charge of a special unit that they have jokingly called Knight Ops after all it is composed of Ben and his four younger brothers It just means that this Louisiana playboy will have less time for the ladies but that is ok because at the moment he's hung up on Dahlia a woman he had a one night stand with a few months ago. Dahlia can't stop thinking about her one night stand either when they meet again the sparks fly but his standing her up makes her think h is flighty until they get to know one another well enough for her to realise what business he is in. The steamy scenes between these two have to be some of the best that I have ever read they are enough to melt your kindle I am looking forward to more books in this series
i was given an ARc of this book but this is a true and honest review
Ben Knight is going to command a new group of special OPS and the rest of the team will be his brothers and another person who will join a bit later. He can’t forget Dahlia, a woman he met in a bar and spent a memorable night with until he was called for a mission. Dahlia is a 911 operator who likes her job but suffers from a lot of stress. She knits for stress relief and thinks about Ben, a man she met in a bar and spent a memorable night with until he just left without a trace. I liked the book, although in some places it is a bit vague. I loved the jokes between Ben and his brothers and sisters. All of them are teasers, but they love all of them with all their hearts. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Ben Knight, Spec Ops turned playboy turned team leader of an off the books specialty team. His team? All his brothers plus one SEAL. While hex'd rather be plying golf and chasing skirts, you don't say no to the Colonel. Dahlia is a 911 operator, whose job causes her a lot of stress but also gives her triumphs. An unforgettable one-night stand was a great stress reliever bu he ghosted on her. Meeting him again at the same bar and having him ghost on her a second time pushes her to the limit. No more! But Ben is a hard man to dissuade or turn down plus he makes her feel so good. Their relationship is hit and miss because of his job. Finding out his true identity and details happens by accident but gives her context. Now she just has to decide if he's worth it. He is!
All knighter is the first book in a new series for this author and it is packed full of everything. There is drama, plenty of scorching hot scenes and 8 Alpha males in this new special ops team for us to set our eyes and hearts upon. In this first book we see Ben, the captain get his story told and boy what a story it is. This story is explosive, the chemistry between him and Dehlia is off the charts and we see a lot of misunderstanding between the pair but something keeps drawning them back to each other. Good plot lines, it’s fast paced and I couldn’t put it down. I loved the characters and I can’t wait to read about the rest of the team.
This is sweet, romantic, steamy and intense. Ben is patriotic, charismatic, sweet and sexy. Dahlia is strong, caring and unsure. It started as a one night stand, but neither could forget the other. Fate brings them together repeatedly, and neither wants to be apart, but neither wants to hurt or be hurt. Ben is so irresistible, he's everything a man should be. They make an adorable couple, and the rest of his family are fascinating and fun. The airport scene is so sweet, yet embarrassing, it's my favorite part. I can't wait for the next book. This is a must add to the top of your TBR list.

All Knighter is another great first in a rand new series by Em Petrova. Tough military men, with a connection that runs blood deep; this is definitely going to be an intriguing series.
When Ben is not only forced out of retirement, but also lumbered with the ultimate insult of working with his brothers, he’s royally pissed. However there may be an upside to this fiasco in the form of a sassy Cajun beauty who has haunted Ben’s dreams since their one and only brief encounter.
I loved the world building and character development throughout this story and cant’ wait to read more about the sexy, yet troublesome Knight siblings.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This was a wonderful book. I just loved the entire Knight family and I look forward to reading each of their stories. This book is a fantastic one for the beginning of the series. The characters were so realistic. Their interactions were hilarious at times. I laughed at a great many places in this book. The plot was done so well that I was so disappoint when I read the words, "The End". Say what how could that be. Ms. Petrova could have kept going as far as I was concerned. I highly recommend this book to anyone!
All Knighter is a sexy story with five Marine brothers and one navy seal to be apart of a special Ops team. Ben Knight is the captain of these dark drink of sexy men. He has found his leading lady in Dahila but she also happens to be his Commanders Daughter. Ben and Dahila have hot and heavy times between the sheets that would burn your kindle. I liked the characters but since it's a military Romance I wanted to see more action scenes from the Male characters. I will continue to read the series because Em Petrova has me hooked on the Kinight brothers and Rocko. Happy Reading!!!
Dahlia and Ben. A one night stand, turned two night stand, turned more. The hey don’t share their jobs so Dahlia is convinced he is a criminal, but when they officially meet they are both in for a surprise. Ben is injured in the line and that throws him a loop. The start of this series is also fascinating as it introduces his team, who happens to be his biological brothers! His family is a hoot and so is Dahlias dad. Loved seeing the commitment and love, but also the teaser for the next book! That was a shock to Sean, but hopefully has him set up for one big HEA in his book!
I received a free copy of this book from Booksprout and I voluntarily chose to review it. I loved this book. It is well written and it has a great story line. Em Petrova is one of my go to authors I know when I see her name on a book it's worth reading. This one is about a guy from Louisiana who is military. Em Petrova did a fantastic job with her portrayal of the Louisiana people. I encourage you all to get this book it is worth your time and effort. I look forward to seeing how the series goes. Ben's sisters are so funny. Loved this book!!!!

A flaming hot military romance! 💞🤩💞
I really enjoyed this romance based on a family with five brothers, who are all in the military and two younger twin sisters. Ben is the oldest and home from the service when he meets Dahlia. What started out as one erotic weekend together evolves into so much more.💗🔥💗
This book has tons of heat, intrigue, and strong connections. It's easy to follow and amazing to read!💜
Ben thought he was going to enjoy being retired from the military until he was sucked back in to head a new special ops force. Dahlia was a victim of Ben's one night stands and is done with him. Ben and Dahlia's story is loaded with drama, humor, smokin' hot sexy bits, action and suspense. I enjoyed reading All Knighter and look forward to reading more from Em Petrova soon. All Knighter is book 1 of the Knight Ops Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
Only one book in and I’m already addicted to the Knight brothers. These guys are fierce and you know they’re all heart. There’s absolutely nothing they won’t do for the ones they love and their country. When these two come together though, there’s a chemistry that’s undeniable, even though it’s mysterious to begin with. A couple things one night stands that turn into so much more. I cannot wait for the next one. I’m voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
he is always in control no matter what but when he goes to go on a mission with his brother he is now so unsure of it. he will keep control. he loves and leaves them but now his time is going to be far too busy for them. she knows more than he thought she should. can she lose her heart to him again? what he never comes back after one of his mission? can they make it?

This is vintage Em Petrova! This book was hot as blazes and had me wishing I had a Knight brother to come home to at night. Or daytime, or anytime, every time. This is one sexy series featuring five gorgeous brothers, all of them Marines. There's plenty of action, drama, fun with siblings and love of country, family and that special woman who makes it all worthwhile. Grab a copy and enjoy!
Retired military, Ben Knight sips his beer and idly watches TV while trying to get 911 operator Dahlia Jackson out of his head. They met three months ago and shared drinks, first names and an unforgettable night but he’d like to see her again. His thoughts are interrupted by an old CO an learns he’s being commissioned for a new effort to protect the homeland. While the outing is a fairly good contemporary read, there isn’t suspense here. Rating: 4stars
Whew! Ladies, get your fans out. This series is going to be HOT! Marine Captain Ben Knight and 911 Operator Dahlia Jackson both have high stress jobs. Ben especially now that he has come out of retirement to lead the new Operation Freedom Flag Southern US Division (OFFSUS). After leaving their jobs at the door, they have creative ways of burning off stress! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
"I just melted my panties. I think I'm spontaneously combusting. Please send help." -Dahlia
Dahlia isn't the only one going up in flames in this story. The heat and passion between her and Ben is beyond scorching! Amazing start to a great series. Hopefully more stories will be released soon. Ben's from a large family and I'm sure each will want to find their own happy ending
"All Knighter" (Knight Ops Book 1) by Em Petrova is a great read. I loved Ben and Dahlia's story. This is a fantastic start to this new series. Packed with action, passion, romance, hot military heroes, family, humor, and more. I can't wait to see what happens next with these entertaining characters. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, military, action, family, and series.
What a start to a new series! Fantastic characters, hot chemistry, a good storyline and it held my interest throughout. I cannot wait for the next book in the series, I am loving the Knight Ops and adding this one to my read it again list.
