Knight's Ridge Empire #1
Wicked Knight
USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Lorraine brings you a new dark mafia, high school bully romance series.
The truth is meant to set you free… but not my truth.
Mine has sent me deeper and darker, feeding my need for revenge. I want blood for those who wronged me and my family. And my so-called truth is ripping me apart, in a way lies never could.
Everyone else has moved on, but I can’t. Not until someone pays.
And it seems that fate is on my side this time, because the hellion girl from the graveyard is going to be my saving grace… and provide me with everything I crave.
The pain.
The vengeance.
The blood.
She has no idea what she’s been dragged into, but she’s going to regret every step she’s taken to get here.
Stella Doukas isn’t like any other girl I’ve encountered before.
She’s fierce, determined, and much stronger than I anticipated.
I might have met my match.
And that is not a good thing…

the cassie clare of it all 🥴🥴🥴
dnf
March 7, 2023DNF because it's aggravating af
Don't you love it when the authors warn you about EVERYONE in the book talking British English, hence the differences in spelling etc., but the only British word turns out to be is 'aRsE' ? 🤦🏼♀️🤣 My cat is actually a British shorty, so I'm offended on his behalf 😾
The heroine is so annoying, it's not even funny. She's so extra and is the type to call herself "not like other girls" 🤡 Not because she's shy or quirky, but because she thinks she's so cool, she's god's gift to humankind 🤣 Her family's head of security know all kinds of martial arts and is teaching it to her every day, her Porsche is not just black, it's matte black, she randomly drinks vodka on her way to the cemetery. She moves a lot, so she had to change schools very frequently, so being new girl at school is something she's used to. But her thoughts on the subject made me hate her a little. Even before her first day of school starts, she already JUST KNOWS there will be "bitches attacking her since they'll be threatened by h stealing all males 😶 But then there is a girl who was supposed to show her around and was friendly and excited to meet the heroine, only the h was rude and dismissive and had the nerve to feel sorry for the girl's openness. Hon, you won't find friends with that attitude and it's not because of other bitches...
Also, every time the h went toe to toe against the school's mean girl, she had the lamest come backs and then.... there would ALWAYS be some girl fawning over the heroine and saying how awesome the oral battle had been 💀 I don't appreciate being told what to think or how to feel when the text doesn't evoke those feelings at all.
The same thing was with the hero. For some weird reason schoolboys were either in a mafia or in some criminal organization. To show how 'cool' and 'smart' the hero is, the author made him have inner monologues about schooling his features, not giving away his thoughts etc. It was almost as if she was trying too hard to make as believe the hero had a brain and used it from time to time, when in reality everything he did was so utterly stupid... Like he wanted to avenge his father and to do so, instead of killing the man responsible or doing something actually evil or cruel, he decides to "bReAk hIs EnEmY's DaUgHtEr". You'd think he would kill her or kidnapp her or do something horrible to her. No...I'm sure the genius plan would consist of something completely cheesy like breaking her heart or making her cry in school or something equally dumb. How on Earth this would avenge his father and make the h's father suffer, idk and am not interested to find out.

Don’t get me wrong, the plot, the hate, the fuck is all good and then you realise these are 17 years old kids. It’s like kids playing adults. And I get the following quote
“Don’t I fucking know it. But what Coach doesn’t understand is that I’ve been a fucking adult for years. Every single time I prized a bottle out of Mum’s hands, carried her to bed, bathed her, brushed her matted hair, I grew up that little bit more until I was nothing more than a boy drowning in the reality of being a man in our world.”
But as someone coming out of abusive relationship from around that age, and actually going through some of that, these kids don’t know shit. Author is trying to portray them as older than they are but she should have made them older for the whole plot to make sense.
So yeah, I’d totally would read the shit out of this book if it was slightly more realistic and age consenting. And I do get that things happen when you’re 17 (trust me I do get that), these teenagers’ behaviour doesn’t. So this is a no for me.

Audibook review
Sizzling!
Sebastian and Stella's romance is scorching, from a passionate graveyard scene to stormy, caustic attraction. However, there is a reason Seb Papatonis, a soldier in the Greek mafia, has it out for Stella, and Stella has family secrets too that will shape her life and their future relationship.
Gotta say, these characters were phenomenal. I loved the dynamics, not just between the couple but among the group and look forward to future stories in this world. I was particularly fond of Stella, who, while strong, was confident, talented even, but not unrealistically invincible. Seb was the dominating, bad boy who, much to his chagrin, was physically and romantically brought to his knees by his lady -- all in a humorous way. Their love-hate attraction was sizzling; the spice level was hot! A combination of romance, mystery, and suspense, this story was amazing and kept me engaged the entire book.
Audio performances were excellent, from the accents -- British, English -- to the character changes, shifts from prose to dialogue. Added to both actors having pleasant voices, a duet narration was the chef's kiss to this stellar rendition.

гарний представник буллі романів з нотками... ем, мафії 🌚
тут вам атмосфера елітної школи лондона, бунтівна та розпусна молодь, вечірки, трохи таємниць, криміналу і кліфхенгер, після якого захочеться відкрити наступну книгу та дізнатися, як розгорнуться події далі 😏
оскільки історія про стеллу та себастіана це трилогія, в цій книзі ми знайомимось з гг та багатьма другорядними персонажами, спостерігаємо за їх взаємодією один з одним. а сам сюжет більше вертиться навколо бурхливих стосунків головної пари.
стелла та себ мені сподобались. вона впевнена в собі, сильна та запальна дівчина. він гордовитий червоний прапорець, який не жаліє стеллу. вже чекаю, коли розкриються таємниці, він усвідомить свої почуття і змінить ставлення до неї. після цього ще поговоримо 😈
але їх суперечки та секс з ненависті це щось. токсично, брудно і добіса гаряче 🌶️🥵
в мене був настрій на шалену молодь, тому, в цілому, книга зайшла і хочеться читати далі 😎

WOW! Where to start with this review?
It amazed me to see the strength and force that is Stella, she bows to no one and can take care of herself. But when it comes to Sebastian she falls to her knees, he is her only weakness. With everyone else she is fierce, confident, and totally capable of handling any situation.
There are so many questions in this book...and not enough answers. I need more! How do they all fit together? What is up with Stella's dad? What is Sebastian's past?
But that ending! Everything crashed together in that last chapter and left me gasping, with my mouth hanging open, thinking what just happened?

February 12, 2022Toxic relationship in new level. H calls her a whore 24/7 and does not kiss her... because whores do not get kissed. h gets turned on by that .. and acts like a whore.. makes out with everybody.. has sex with H infront of others...
h is too "free" and "badass" to me. If i cringe each page.. then this book is not for me.
Made it to 250 pages and nope.. not anymore

Oh my fucking god! Tracy is the absolute queen of bully romance and she seriously bought her A game with the first in this new series! This was such an explosive book from the first page to the last.
The tension between Seb and Stella was *chefs kiss*, soooo much sexual chemistry and hatred for each other. This is certainly one that’ll get you hot and bothered 🥵
Stella was one of my favourite FMC ever.. she just did not give a shit about Seb and his band of boys power, she gave as good as she got and got the upper hand on him on more than one occasion! I really enjoyed reading her.
And Seb… can you say holy alphahole 🔥 he took dark and depraved to a new level. The way he dominated Stella and showed how he felt about her was just tooooo much. God, he really was something else!
I loved the story and it’s already got me hooked and ready for the next one! The ending was an epic cliffhanger and I have so many theories and thoughts and can’t wait to see how it plays out!
There is a free prequel to this series which should be read first! Download now ready for this release as you do not want to sleep on this series I can assure you!

So good and so hot!
And just like that Seb and Stella's scorching, graveyard encounter goes from passion to hate after Sebastian Papatonis discovers that newly arrived Stella Doukas is the daughter of his family's enemy. Stella and her father of clandestine security operation are settling in England after years of moves while "across the pond." Stella rediscovers a broody, angry, and still appealing Seb attending an elite academy along with other alpha kings. These hot guys, though, have mafia ties, Greek-Italian mafia ties. This book follows the passionate, stormy relationship of Stella and Seb and thrilling secrets in a new adult, mafia / academy romance.
Stella was one of my favorite heroines -- confident, fiery, strong, but not invincible. She could hold her own with the guys and other women without artifice, but was empathetic and swayed to her feelings for Sebastian. With a lifetime of physical training -- MMA, shooting, gymnastics, cheer, I loved the couple of humorous scenes where she took down Sebastian. And because of her skill and confidence, she was also not subjected to typical bullying. Suffering from family loss, Sebastian, one of the school's elites, athlete and foot soldier in the Cirillio family, could not deny his attraction to Stella. I love their interplay -- the jealousy from the other man / other woman drama, the claiming, the stalking, their spice. Their love-hate attraction was explosive. I loved the mature themes in the book, from sexual escapades to hedonism (parties, drug use) to mafia dealings. Additionally, I was also invested in the side characters, whether Stella's new or old friends or Seb's circle of brothers. Their stories peppered the Stella-Seb drama. The character development was great.
I would definitely rate this book very highly for spice from their first meeting to the chemistry and sexual experiences combined light kink (breath and knife play, spanking, hair pulling, exhibitionism.)🥵. For me, I didn't find the story dark, but dark themes -- power exchanges, light mafia violence.
The pace was perfect, my preferred: progressive --not slow, but not fast and held my attention until that unbelievable cliffhanger. My favorite book from this author to date, rivaling the Kane-Letty trilogy. I can't wait for book 2.

hope the next one is better
I spent most of the book annoyed by the two main characters, but I hate leaving a book unfinished so I kept going. I don’t like slutty main female characters. I know, I know. But I feel like by trying to make her badass, the author stripped away her femininity. It just didn’t sit well with me. Women don’t have to be like men in order to be strong. Idk, it just kind of annoyed me. It got better after 60 percent or so… so I’m actually excited for the next book.

DNF with prejudice.
This book is not for me. It's one of those books that has me questioning why I read the new adult genre in the first place....then I look at my bookshelf and realize I have 5 starred some new adult books, so I don't think this is just on me.
Idk. The writing was fine, I can't even think of any criticisms. Beyond the writing and story failed to engage me in any way.
While this was a dnf I'm marking this as read since I got to 66% and skimmed to the end.

Wow ! Ok this story I think is Tracy Lorraine’s darkest and dirtiest story yet the hotness factor in this book is insane! She’s definitely outdone herself with these two ! From the first page I was immediately captivated and sucked in I couldn’t put it down till it ended and holy shit what a ending I’m still gasping my jaw on the floor . Seb and Olivia are both alphas their twisted with inner demons and secrets and absolutely perfect for each other their relationship is passionate intense and full of love hate their chemistry is off the charts explosive some of the sex scenes between them was super hot like change your panties hot ! I have so many freaking questions that need answering so I’ll be not so patiently waiting for Wicked Princes ! All’s I can say is buckle up your in for one helluva ride !
maybe
November 18, 2021Liked the writing, loved the strong h, but the H wasn’t an alpha of his group/school, so DNF for now. Might come back to this later.

***RECEIVED FREE ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW***
This book is a roller coaster.
You don't know what will happen next! There is angst, mystery, secrets, dirty scenes, dark scenes and lots of "hate".
Stella has moved to the UK and has suddenly become enemy number 1. She is a tough girl though, nothing brings her down!! Stella is a typical 'I'm not like other girls" but she is strong, independent, and a badass. She is about to face a lot of truths and I hope she is ready...
Seb is a hot-head, loyal, angry and an alphahole at times. He is determined to break and dominate Stella but he is not ready for Stella.
Their attraction to each other is insane and every page is filled with so much drama. The ending will leave you wanting more!

"Puede que tú hayas empezado esta guerra, pero voy a ser yo quien la acabe."
Estuvo entretenido aunque hay varias cosas que no me gustaron como la actitud del protagonista el 70% del libro.
Siento que realmente no avanzó nada en cuanto a la trama, se repite lo mismo sin razón. Pero lo voy a seguir leyendo porque no puedo quedarme con la duda.

I didn’t love this one but I’m intrigued enough to give the second one a try and see if it pulls me in more. This one did seem to pick up the last little bit

HOLY MOTHER CHUCKER!!! Tracy Lorraine totally instigated a massive fire by stoking/fanning/fuelling the flames to a big explosion. One that was equivalent of a volcano erupting, when it came to bringing us Stella and Sebastian and the unrestrained tumultuous rollercoaster ride that was their story.
There is so much to say about Wicked Knight, but where to start.
One things for sure Enemies to Lovers Estella ‘Stella’ Doukas and Sebastian ‘Seb’ Papatonis gave Kane and Letty a run for their money, given how mind blowing their story was.
This book was a deliciously dark, twisted and depraved story that was spilling over with the burning lust-filled hate, leading to an endless fiery, smoking hot, sexual pleasures and needs that just came pouring out at every corner from the fulfilment of it occurring throughout. Add in the twists and turns, loops and drops from the suspense surrounding the mystery as well as drama. It resulted to an huge detonation of emotions and feelings, consuming you wholly with it being a continuous overflow that was never ending. Especially considering the hate, the passion and the pain that is made very well known all through between Stella and Seb and their unstable relationship they have going on. Always at each others throat, in some instances literally. But despite their hate for one another, their chemistry is too mesmerising and alluring for them to ignore. Like a siren call they're attuned to one another, resulting in them being able to bring out each other's dark side that they can only feed and fulfil when with each other. Making it obvious that Stella and Seb need/want/should be together, seeing as they are only able to feed one another's inner demons to keep them at bay.
All of that plus so much more is what made the journey of their adventurous story thrilling, despite being deviant and sadistic a lot. Tracy Lorraine's ability to grab a hold of you with continuing to reel you in tight had you never wanting to stop or let go AT ALL.
It needs to be said, Tracy absolutely killed it by starting off the Knight’s Ridge Empire series with a massive bang with the first book, Wicked Knight. And considering those shocking secret explosions with the added bonus of the cliffhanger ending…words cannot truly describe how mind blowing it was! Safe to say I can’t wait for the next book, Wicked Princess. It couldn’t come fast enough!
*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Knight's Ridge Empire Series
Wicked Knight
Authour: Tracy Lorraine
"An obsession? I think it’s abundantly clear to both of us that I’m completely fucking addicted."
I started this series after reading the Hallowed Night A Halloween Romance Anthology " Dark Halloween Knight". Just by reading this short story, I knew I had to read more of Tracy's Books. I was very excited to see that the Knight's Ridge Empire would be released shortly after as well as a prequel called "Wicked Summer Knight".
Wow, was I not expecting this strong hate/lust relationship between Sebastian and Stella. 🥵
Sebastian blames Stella for all the fucked up things that have happened in his life, but after a night together before realizing who she is ... he can't stop thinking about her. That doesn't mean he doesn't want to destroy her.
Stella doesn't take anyone's shit and she can hold her own in any fight. So when Sebastian thinks he can break her he has another thing coming.
There is so much spice, hate and lust in this book that I couldn't put it down. I couldn't get enough of the push and pull of these two. They're made for one another question is when will they figure it out?
Not only does the book center around them but also follows a story of unanswered mysteries in both of their lives.
The cliffhanger got me! I couldn't wait for the next book.

Para quienes buscan un romance oscuro y peligroso, déjenme presentarles Knight’s Ridge Empire de Tracy Lorraine.
Stella Doukas llega a Knight’s Ridge College para empezar de nuevo, pero, claro, el destino (y la autora) tenían otros planes. Y se encuentra con Sebastian.
Seb es el rey oscuro del colegio, marcado por un pasado que lo consume y una venganza que lo define. Él pensaba que tenía todo bajo control... hasta que Stella llega como un vendaval, desafiándolo en cada paso. Me encanta cuando ella le planta cara, porque, aunque Seb a veces actúa como un mal hijo y trata a Stella de maneras que no me convencen, ella tampoco es precisamente una santa (y se deja hacer y deshacer al antojo de Seb). Son como dos fuerzas implacables que chocan y se atraen, cortados por la misma tijera.
Pero ojo, también hay cosas que me frenaron un poco: esos errores de corrección que a veces te sacan de la trama y te hacen suspirar más de frustración que de pasión.
📖 Si te gustan las historias donde las reglas se escriben con sangre, lujuria, juegos de poder y seducción con miradas intensas, entonces estás en el lugar correcto.
⚠️ Advertencias que me hubiera gustado saber antes: aunque es considerada como darkromance juvenil, tiene escenas fuertes de bully/s€x0/degradación.

Ever since listening to the prequel Wicked Summer Knight (which should be read first as it is not included in this book, but there are quite a few references to those events) I have been dying to jump into the rest of the series! Because I was so engaged by the audiobook, I wanted to do the rest that way as well, so had to wait a bit longer before starting. And it was worth the wait. There is a bit of mystery going on, because we (as well as Stella) have no idea what is going on with these kids and their families. That, as well as the budding romance and growing friendships, are keeping me interested in seeing where this all goes. I am a huge fan of a J/P Hero, and we definitely have that with Seb. It is equally as fun to see him struggling between wanting her and hating her. This series starter could easily have been 5 stars for me, but I read a very similar trilogy within the last month, and it is giving me vibes like I've already read this before. The stories are not necessarily the same, but little bits here and there certainly remind me of the other books, which is taking me out of fully enjoying this one.

August 10, 2022This book is so frustrating, that I had to write a review. There was no plot ffs, just pure smut. Also, the Hero slut shames every woman in his vicinity. It infuriates me, idk. It rubs me the wrong way. I think Stella's character is trying too hard to be badass. She's more stupid than badass tbh. I can't take it. I wanted drama, intrigue, and maybe some action but all I got was a bunch of horny teenagers. DNF @ 60%.
