Knight's Ridge Empire Book #10
Dark Knight
Authour: Tracy Lorraine
" For years I’ve watched her. Wanted her. Craved her. But it’s always been from a distance, from the shadows. The darkness."
“And just like that, the angel hands herself over to the devil himself.”
“Your body craves me, doesn’t it, beautiful?”
Wow, just wow I want to say so much but to keep the secret alive I won't.
As soon as I read the first chapter I was hooked as well as I guessed as to who the Dark Knight was and damn I was not disappointed. I am very excited to explore more with both of these characters. It's going to be a bumpy ride, to say the least. The chemistry between those two is too much for both of them to ignore and they start to fall deeper and deeper for each other. But Cali definitely has her hands full with her dark knight but also a few other guys too.
Can these lonely people find a safe space together or will the walls they put up keep them apart? Because everytime she gets close to the real man he is, he takes the coward's way out and pulls his mask back on. I'm pulling hard for these too to work things out. Also Tracy doesn't disappoint with another great cliffhanger.

Knight's Ridge is getting better and better with each new couple. Tracy Lorraine has made me obsessed and addicted and it is impossible to explain how amazing Dark Knight is. Callie and Daemon's dark new adult enemies to lovers mafia romance is all kinds of raw, messy, beautiful yet toxic and heartbreaking. And I am here for the dangerous, twisted and filthy ride.
Daemon Deimos has been hiding in the dark forever and the Cirillo princess is not someone he should touch. But Callie has put a spell on him and he has to claim her..but in darkness. Callie is trying to understand this broken boy but she is just getting hurt over and over again. Their family is getting ready for a big war with the Italians and Daemon has to keep her safe at any cost.
Holy alpha jealous possessive antihero goodness! Daemon gave me goosebumps every time he uttered those crazy bossy dominating words. He made me go swoony over his deranged deviant acts. He made my heart ache for his broken insecure vulnerable soul. Callie has been protected and sheltered all her life but she is restless now and she wants to live life fully..a bit dangerously and recklessly. Daemon set her body and soul on fire but she wants more that their filthy passion. She knows Daemon is hiding a cracked beautiful heart behind his cold violence but he has a high impenetrable wall around his heart. This girl is equally sweet and fierce and I love how she refuses to let Daemon downplay their connection. This group is a loud loving and explosive one and I love them all with my heart. That cliffhanger ending was shocking and I cannot wait to see how Daemon comes out of his shell to win Callie for once and all.

Dark Knight is book 10 in the Knight's Ridge Empire. This is the story of Callie and Batman and I have been counting down the days to get my hands on the full version after reading the first few chapters (tiny review at the bottom).
And wow, this was such an intense, emotional and all consuming read. Callie and Batman had my mind spinning. The dangerous one dancing with the princess. I loved how the story was focused on the two of them.
Dark Knight left my mind spinning trying to figure just what was going on with Batman. There's something under his facade, even Calli noticed it, and I'll be here to see the 'stripped' version of him.
I need more.
...................................................................................
Let's have a tiny taste review:
Ok, now this was hot!
I definitely did not see this couple coming. They seem perfect for each other and I already can't wait to see how misbehaved they will act.
Can't wait for more!

Mafia Princess Callie meet the Dark Knight Daemon which is the darkest of the group. The one that is set part from the others always focused on “The Business” & can get any answer out of the prey he keeps alive. Love their story the sweet innocence virgin Callie that couldn’t fall for the good twin but the dark dangerous twin Batman is the one she wanted.

HOLY HELL! I LOVE this series so much even when it makes me so mad that it makes my head feel like it's going to explode LOL! See, the heroes can be a bit difficult on their journey, but somehow manage to make me fall in love with them before all's said & done. This couple's story didn't start here though, we were given a taste of it in the Bully God Anthology, but I knew that I would need so much more & here we are. I'm not inclined to give details because there's some secrets & mystery to the couple so why ruin it for others amirite?! Not to mention the overall plot is suspenseful goodness since it deals with mafia things, so the twists are coming in hot. There's also the heat in spades, and the angst factor which always tends to do my heart in, and it all leads to a HUGE cliffhanger ending that left me dying inside for more even though I knew it was coming LOL! Anyway, everyone should read Tracy Lorraine's books as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

YES YES YES! FINALLY!
It‘s about time we get Callie and Batman‘s story! And it for sure did not disappoint in the least! I devoured this book and couldn‘t stop reading from the very first page!
Batman and Callie are fire! Honestly their story is starting out amazingly and addicting. The chemestry between those two is off the charts and I am already impatiently waiting for the second book. Already know I won‘t be satisfied with only 3 books about those two!
Tracy Lorraine is a master when it comes to this type of book. Her story‘s are addicting. Her characters are so easily loveable and just overall perfect. I am in awe of her and her ability.

POV:Dual Angel and Batman
Calli and Batman
This is the full length book for Calli and Batman that started in the BULLY GOD ANTHOLOGY which is set within Tracy's dark mafia Knight's Ridge Empire series.
Ends in a cliffhanger.
OMG!! How to write a spoiler free review? There's so much I want to put in, but I won't. I won't even reveal who Batman is 😈
Callista 'Calli' Cirillo, Mafia Princess. Her brother, Nico, their cousin Theo, their friends, and the rest of the family have shielded her from the Family's business. She's not naive to know what the family does. But since she's been exposed to Stella and Emmie's influences, she's coming out of her shell and doing things that she should have been doing for someone her age.
The guys can only watch her grow up.
She's enjoying this new found feeling of freedom. She's even sneaking out meeting a guy, who's not someone her family would like her to be with.
But she can't help thinking of the guy who she was with on Halloween night.
Her Batman.
He made her feel things she's never felt before. Even when she's with this guy she's been sneaking out to see. She wishes it was his touch, his lips on her. What kind of person does that make her?
But it doesn't change when she finds out who her Batman is. She shouldn't want him, sees the vulnerable, little lost boy under everything he hides. She just wishes that he'd let her fully in, instead of shutting her out.
'Batman' finds her in a place she shouldn't be.
He's wanted her for so long, but he knows he's not good enough for her.
He couldn't help himself that Halloween night, when he finally got her in his arms.
But seeing her there, where she shouldn't be, he sees red, and goes all caveman on her.
He's watched her from the sidelines all these years. Put her up on a pedestal. She's untouchable. He doesn't deserve her, she deserves a decent guy, not his darkness, he's messed up, broken, she's pure, light, innocent. But he can't stay away any longer.
This possessive Dark Knight doesn't have the right to touch, or want this beautiful Angel.
But of course he does. She's his weakness.
Her parents have other things in mind for her, top grades, marry a nice Greek guy, have a handful of future soldiers for her Father to train up. Her Mother is barely there, nothing Calli does is good enough for her. She's constantly putting her down. Nico doesn't know how lucky he is. She just wants to be in the loop, and for them to stop being so over protective of her.
Meanwhile in the background there's still the Italians, and they're planning something big, but what. Making the Family on high alert. But are they ready for what's to come?
The banter and interactions between them all is still as strong and entertaining, even with the newest additions Jodie and Brianna.

Review :
Calli has always been the innocent sister in her group of friends. The one with the overprotective big brother. So her dating life had practically been non-existent. Until a dark Knight swooped in and took her away. One night with her dream man and she was hooked. That is until she knew his identity and got to know that she had always known that man. A man her brother definitely won't choose for her. Their story will not have a happy ending. It was written with betrayals and pain so that is how it will end until they change the path by falling in love.
Ever since I got a glimpse of this storyline, I was hooked! Those small teasers in the books and the wait made me crazy but when it came? I loved it so much! Definitely recommending this dark romance for all the romance loving people. This one is the first book of a new series and ends on a cliffhanger.

Another amazing five star read! I’ve been dying for this couple’s story and this author didn’t disappoint! I’m going to leave my review short and sweet because I don’t want to give anything away this is one you need to read yourself I absolutely loved the chemistry between Cali and her Batman this story starts off dark and intense throw in the angst and emotions and I was completely consumed by these two characters! This is another unputdownable story and I can’t wait for the next book already! I know I say it with every book I read in this series but I’m going to say it anyways this couple I think is my favorite couple I’ve read so far lol hell this series is seriously my favorite dark mafia romance series of the year !
June 27, 2022
I was so engrossed in this story, they make dancing with the devil very very sinful!
I knew I loved Batman but absolutely love him even more now! This man is dark, possessive, dirty talker and hot as heck! He is also very aggravating for sure. But I love those types of MMC because that’s what has the panty melting moments 🙌🏼🙌🏼.
The princess that nobody wants to bring in to the fold is so sick of being sheltered she wants in the fold, but everyone wants keep her at arms length, but it’s not what she wants. Callie is so strong willed and she know exactly what she wants but she’s also sticking up for herself more than ever.
Batman has wanted Callie for as long as he can remember but he always feels he isn’t good enough..can her light brighten his dark?
This book is 🙌🏼🙌🏼 great and I can’t wait to see where this story goes because I’m so invested in the whole series. I love all the characters so much!

Angst: 💣💣💣 Plot: 📚📚📚📚📚
Cliffhanger? ✅️
Do I recommend? ✅️
Tropes: dark mafia romance, bully, enemies-to-lovers, forbidden
For years, he watched her, wanted her, craved her but didn't get close until one encounter changed everything. The shadows were where he belonged and he didn't feel he deserved her light. So in typical alpha, antihero form, he treated her horrible. But their chemistry and connection was undeniable and absolutely could not be ignored. He hid his true self, fearing if she saw the monster within, she'd run and never return. Any relationship between Calli and Batman is utterly forbidden but they can't fight what draws each one to the other. Fate won't be ignored.
Each book just gets better and better. I think this couple might just be my favorite yet. The plot was intense and intriguing to the max. This author is a true creative genius! Before reading this book you really need to read the free prequel. This book had everything that my dark-natured heart craves in any dark romance. Twisted and filthy enough to require a cold shower or change of undergarments. I'm highly recommending this read! This is my honest opinion, freely given.

4/4.5 ⭐️
Dark Knight is the first book apart of the 4th trilogy within Tracy Lorraine’s Knight’s Ridge Empire series. It follows the story of Callista ‘Calli’ Cirillo and Batman through their dual perspective.
The journey within Dark Knight released an outpour mixture of deep, intense, raw emotions equating to the narrative being emotionally charged overall with a lot of angst. Especially when you took into account the slow growth of the relationship that was attempted to be established between Calli and Batman. Simultaneously there was the component of mystery and intrigue when it came to the character development too. Though mostly on Batman’s part, having been presented as an enigma throughout the series to date.
With two complete opposite characters like Calli and Batman, who actually did share some similarities that you learn further into the progression of the story. It’s what led to Tracy taking you on a wild rollercoaster ride, with the narrative she showcased in telling the first part to Calli and Batman’s story in this trilogy.
On the one hand you had the enigma Batman who may have been dark, twisted and crazy given his obsession with Calli. But at the same time with the chip on his shoulder that he carried around, you could see there was a lot more to him that had yet to be discovered. Especially on the inside, given what Tracy showcased with the peeks divulged from the turmoil his inner thoughts was fighting within the chapters told from his perspective.
On the other you had Calli, the Princess of the family who had been shielded her whole life from the family business. Yet she set upon proving she was just more than the title role given to her through no choice of her own.
Just like Batman there was so more to Calli than meets the eye. Attempting to break out of the box she was put in, Tracy gave a glimpse of growth from her. Given her actions and decisions within some situations and events that occurred.
Although Calli and Batman’s constant back and forth, alongside the pushing and pulling led to some deeply intense moments filled with some hard hitting emotions. Given the raw emotions being poured out, especially when it came to either of the two putting themselves and what they were thinking or feeling out there. Allowing us further insight with an in-depth look into their character development.
At the same time it's what led to the build up of some high voltage sparks being given off. Making their chemistry undeniable, particularly in the heat of the moment when they gave into their desires and caused fireworks display explosion with the Sizzling, Spicy steam show they put on. Especially on Batman’s part, since he seemed to be the one to initiate their sexy time together.
Which is why IMO Calli and Batman definitely gave all the previous couples like Stella and Sebastian, Theo and Emmie and Toby and Jodie a run for their money not only in the chemistry department, but the steamy side too with their relationship.
While the cliffhanger ending to Dark Knight was not surprising, since it was expected as much as Tracy is known to leave us hanging like that.
It still has me intrigued with wanting to know more of what’s to come in Dark Princess next when it comes to Calli and Batman. Mainly because it's obvious their story has only just began with so much more to give.

I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. Oh man I knew Daemon was going to be dirty and rough but he's so much more than that. Right now he's my favorite of guys I love him so much! He's such a complicated man you want dig deeper into his layers and discover all of him. I also love Calli has been hiding her true self bit let's herself be real with Daemon. I also adore Alex he's the funny but he has a heart of gold. I need the next book asap.

Tracy Lorraine didn't disappoint with this instalment of the Knights Ridge Empire Series! She is a master of words and seriously knows how to write loveable characters, addictive plots, and plenty of drama and twists.
Calli and Batman are definitely made for each other, the tension between these two was so good, and the fireworks when they finally get out of their own way is perfection. She is the light to his dark... and I can't wait to see how their relationship develops. The chemistry between these two is off the charts, and I absolutely loved every single interaction between them.
Batman is a dark, broody, possessive and slightly psychotic hero, who has a distinct personality that is written so well and brings so much intrigue with it! Do I need to say more? While Calli has transformed into the not-so-innocent angel of the story, she is full of sass and is fiery enough to handle everything that is Batman and boy does she handle him well!
This was another amazing instalment into this series and if you love angst, steam, possessive alpha-holes, friendship, fiery heroines, and a great plot then this is for you. Great job Tracy, I seriously cannot wait for the next book after that shocking cliffy!
"She's mine. The light in all my dark. The angel to my devil. The fucking air I need to breathe."

Heads up people, we got an obsessive stalker and I LOVE IT!
Calli Cirillo. My obsession. My addiction. My ultimate fucking weakness.
I have been desperate for Batman and Calli's story since we were first introduced to them! Calli Cirillo the sheltered, good girl and Daemon Deimos the ultimate broody bad boy.
Daemon has been obsessed with Calli since he was 6 years old. Little to anyones knowledge! He watched her, obsessed over her and kept his distance because he knows he is not good enough for the mafia princess. But as he watches two men get closer to his obsession, his walls breakdown and he HAS to get closer. He has to let her know that she belongs to him. ONLY HIM.
Calli Cirillo was a princess in the making. She hated it. She wants to be free. She wants to LIVE. For as long as she has known she has been sheltered from everything by her father, mother, brother, cousin, friends... but one person see's her. He see's the real her. Her Batman.
Daemon's story was quite different than what I had in mind! Who knew this boy was so insecure! From the previous books, he always seemed the lone broody boy, like he preferred it that way but being in his head that doesn't seem the case at all! I FELT for him, so hard. For that little boy with all his insecurities. But the stalker, jealous, obsessive side of him is so hot! Whew... 🔥🔥🔥
A few generic spoilers below, so read at your own risk...

I love Alex too. Have to admit, crossing my fingers for a little bit of twin action (a girl could hope!). But what is Alex up to? I think he knows, he's just riling up Daemon and he's been protecting Calli. And Ant, I think Ant is going to be a villain here!! Can't wait for Book 2!!!!!

Callie has always been the princess of her family and friends, one that has her life planned for her, left in the dark, add a protective older brother and her life is not her own. She shows us a strength that she usually keeps hidden in this story and I loved that she is coming out of her shell to stand up for what she wants, but she still has a way to go. When it comes to living her life, she is stepping out of her comfort zone by the choices she is making in finding love, but with her Dark Knight always lurking around she doesn’t know that he has already claimed her as his. The Dark Knight has always had his eyes set on Callie and he knows he isn’t her best option because he has a darkness to him, and she is an angel that deserves so much more. He tries to fight the pull to her, but a series of events has him making the decision to claim her even though he knows there can’t be a future for them. Callie and DK have an intense chemistry that is hard to deny, but with so much against them how could they ever be? This story has been my absolute favorite out of this series, don’t get me wrong I’ve enjoyed them all but these two have a tough road ahead of them and it won’t be easy especially when the Dark Knight thinks he is so undeserving of love, but I hope they fight for each other. At times Callie's, let's call them options, were frustrating because you know how he feels for the option you want her to pick, yet she still fights with herself over them. I can’t wait to see more from them.

holy Batman
My poor Batman!! He’s got so much insecurities going on that I never would have imagined before reading this! I hate that he fights against himself from what he wants and doesn’t think he deserves. I hope that he comes out from the shadows soon! He deserves to be with all his friends.
Calli has really stepped up to her own in this series! I want her to get everything that she wants! I like that little by little she’s starting to come out of that “good innocent girl” everyone has her pegged as. Although that might have found her trouble at the end!! Enter cliffhanger!
I loved Alex in this book too! I know he loves his brother and wants the best for him and you can tell he was worried about him too. He’s also become a great friend to Calli!
Can’t wait for the next book, it can’t come soon enough!

Omg! This book is everything. The plot. The complicated characters. This series keeps getting better and better!
Daemon aka "Nikolas" aka "Batman" is everything! He has moved up to my #1 favorite in this series. I love that he is complicated and multi-layered. I just want to wrap him in a big hug and tell him that he's enough. There is so much more than meets the eye with him, and Callista aka "Calli" may just be his only weakness, the one who breaks down his impenetrable walls. Daemon and Calli's love story is killing me in the best way. The push and pull, the passion, the emotions, and the angst between them is everything I love in a romance. Calli started out sheltered and innocent but she has grown so much and is now a strong, confident young woman. I love that even though Calli has a weakness for Daemon, she gives as good as she gets. The plot is unique and entertaining. The elements of danger kept me on the edge of my seat. This was unputdownable! That jaw-dropping cliffhanger had my pulse thundering. I can't wait to read the conclusion to Daemon and Calli's story!

Holy moly this is getting better and better. Calli has her hands full with her Knight. I can't wait to see what else happens because that cliffhanger just left me reeling.
June 30, 2022
Holy smokes! I don’t know how she does it!! Every couple get better and better. I have been completely hooked on this series and Dark Knight was no exception!
Batman and Callie have quickly become my favs to read. Their little teasers from the novella and the anthology had me completely hooked on them and was an absolute joy to be with them again x
Full of angst, drama, friendship, acceptance, sweetness, possessiveness and steam.
And that ending - oh Batman will not be pleased and I’m super excited for more…

June 24, 2022Lord help Batman has become my favorite Knight. I always loved him in the other books he was so dark and mysterious. Him and Callie really have some amazing off the charts chemistry. He has always watched her and wanted her from afar, when they came together it was like fireworks. She gives him the calmness he needs. This series is going to be explosive I can tell. Bring on Book 2

I cannot wait to see what happens! I love how we are getting to see so much of Alex here . His and Cali’s friend ship is so cute I love it . I think Cali and Batman’s story is 100% going to be my favorite there is just something about them that I cant get enough of ! 5 stars like always is never enough.

This is the 10th book in the series but this could have been the 20th. This series is freaking fantastic. The Easter eggs that we would get throughout the books before we even got to meet these two there was always something that drew me to them. Calli is the innocent one, she's not one for dating and having an overprotective other brother doesn't help. When she meets Batman everything changes and her world gets flipped upside down. The chemistry and emotion kept me glued to my kindle I was enwrapped in their story. These two are complete opposites but at the same time couldn't have made them more perfect for one another.
July 3, 2022
When an author is a mean species, but you still love her books.
Oh my goodness! I just finished "Dark Knight" and I'm like "asafnjdgjkdrhngsdovndkjfnds". Where are my words, right now? Seriously, my heart can't bear all these ups and downs expecting me to react normal. I'm a mere human after all...
Tracy Lorraine did her magic once more and left me (and all us) with THIS cliffhanger we so much needed, loved and hated, but all the same can't wait for the second part. She made me dive head first into the story without the possibility of leaving the book for few minutes. I had to read each chapter, each word and letter, written and make pause to breath. it's that way how it was affecting me.
Batman and Calli are... pure fire! If we thought that Theo was crazy and obsessive psycho, Batman took the first place with all gold medals! At that moment, I don't know how to write my review without giving you any spoilers, because I need to tell you who Batman is (probably some of you already know it) and dissect all the moments, dialogs and interactions in the book. Well, I'll try to do my best and just share my emotions about all it. Every time I put my hands on a book by Tracy Lorraine I'm surprised because she keeps the same level of writing without losing her touch. Her stories are captivating, some of them breathtaking, others brutally and explicitly described, but always meant to hit a nerve. And it actually does it, because after reading any of her books, they remain in my mind for a long time.
Dark Knight is the 10th book in the Knight's Ridge Empire series and it involves Batman and Calli. Since we met Calli in the first book of the series, I liked her because she developed a lot, changing from this shy girl being a princess in distress to the woman she actually is, trying to stand her ground in front of her brother and their friends. Stella and Emmie were a good influence about her, because they showed her how to live and what life has to offer. Anyway, it wasn't Calli's fault she couldn't live much more beforehand due to the overprotective guys, but she grew a lot since the first sneak peeks we had about her character. She's strong, a bit dark, but calm and empathetic. All the while, she's also funny, tender and a good friend. I hope in the following books she will have more presence in moments of action, because I think deep inside she craves it. It will make her feel complete and valued in a way the guys don't see her, right now. Which by the way is a bit of male chauvinism when their girls are all in for the action and violence, but Calli has it prohibited. Please, note the sarcasm because I'm going to kill Nico and Theo for it, jajaja.
On the other hand, Batman is... the perfect anti-hero guy who looks for the light in his darkness. I'm so enthralled with his character that I think he wins Theo's award for the first place. He's a combination of Seb and Theo's personalities put together, but darker than them. The definition of him could perfectly be about a traumatized, cold, dark, obsessive/possessive, hurt guy who has trouble opening up and always feeling out of place when he's with his friends. His problems are originated deep inside him and come far from the past. Batman is also psycho loving all the blood of his enemies he spreads.
I loved Batman and Calli's interactions and holly hell, how hot they are! I couldn't enjoy more than I did his possessive and dominating side with Calli. He's incredibly hot and with the broken guy's vibrations filling him is just the soul that need not a fix, but his other half to be completed and understood. They are heartbreaking , cute and explosion when it comes to colliding. Their story will be a rollercoaster because Batman will try to keep his walls up, but with the brutal cliffhanger Tracy left us with I don't think that will be the case. Seriously, the end was very mean, but I have my theories which I will not share because not everyone still read the book.
As for the rest of the book, I, like always, took a load of pleasure in reading about all the banter, interactions, doses of action we received, the weekend trip (that's a minimal spoiler-not spoiler) and more so, Alex closed up appearance. He's funny and easy going, but that sure is a mask and he hides his own scars. Probably, he also has a kink and would be an interesting pair with I. The despise floating there would be quite entertaining to observe.
Tracy Lorraine cooked the story with the perfect measures giving us bites of everything, but leaving us with the suspense of "What the heck?!" needing more from those two. Yesterday night, I felt the deep urge to throw the Kindle across the room because of this end and had to calm my curious and needy mind. I recommend you these series because you'll fall in love with them and would live a large life through the characters, their world and the masterly built storyline that at times takes my breath away. It's so skilfully done that it's impossible not to appreciate the imagination of the author and how she develops everything step by step creating a whole universe with its own pieces put perfectly in place.
I received ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Tracy Lorraine has no limit; each book she publishes adds so much to the Knight's Ridge Empire world; more twists and turns, more darkness, but it's the characters she's created that make this series epic.
The story of Daemon and Calli is appropriately titled "Dark Knight." Daemon's darkness is unlike the others. Calli appears to be the catalyst for his tranquility and brings his demons out to play.
I'm at a loss for words when it comes to expressing my admiration for Daemon and Calli's story's beginning. Again, the level of Lorraine’s talent permeates every page, leaving me awestruck. Although it takes place in the Knight's Ridge universe, Lorraine has surely started this trilogy off with a helluva bang, blood, and a stalker-level possessive anti-hero. Consider my mind blown.
Calli isn’t the girl we first met. A piece of her that had been all but extinguished by others' expectations of her was rekindled by Stella and the other people who came into her life.
She’s transforming into the person she was always meant to be. She's not the sweet little princess they expect her to be; instead, she's fiery and carries a host of wicked desires that she has only recently become aware of, all with the presence of her Dark Knight.
Daemon was a surprise I didn’t see coming; a fantastically dark and unique type of knight. He has a distinct personality that although he’s lurked about in the pages of the previous books, he managed to bring me endless intrigue on every page. He owned the role of "Alpha AF" anti-hero book boyfriend. He sticks to the shadows, but when he steps out, "hfs," so freaking hot...
There’s much more to him than the smeggsy demon. He’s been put through the wringer, and it’s caused him to become the man he is—one who watches and lurks while missing out on being present in the lives of his friends and family.
I’m not sure if there’s a word to describe the connection between Daemon and Calli. It’s well beyond searing, it’s intoxicating with a side of explosive. She’s the light to his dark. He’s the devil with a soft spot for an angel. She was his heart, and he was her soul. Oh, and the steam? Next level, dark on the verge of pitch black, where boundaries aren’t a thing, but knives and ropes are... I’m here for it, and this is only the beginning.
My emotions were a whirling mess. In the way they saw one another, in a way that nobody else did. The expectations that others had for them and the little snippets we get of what Daemon keeps buried deep inside of him. My heart ached while my eyes consumed every single word of this enthralling story.
Lorraine never fails to leave me completely and utterly astonished. Daemon and Calli’s connection, along with the Angel and Devil vibes, creates a whole different type of dark between them that’s unlike anything else. I will be waiting impatiently to see what is in store for them in Dark Princess.
Every girl needs a man who will lurk in the shadows, appear like a Dark Knight, and make sure she knows who owns her pleasure and her pain while he brands her body and soul. Daemon is that man, and yet there’s still so much more about him we’ve yet to see. He’s an orgasmic dark mystery. I licked him. He’s mine.
Dark Knight is fucking epic. Cancel life, and prepare to become consumed by Batman and Calli from the first word until you are muttering "wtf" as you read the last.
Dark Knight is an enticing blend of explosive chemistry, a stalker-level anti-hero, an angelic (ish) heroine, enchanting mystery, "wtf" twists, and steam that allows you a glimpse of what happens when the devil gets his hands on the not so innocent angel.

Oh my…so much drama, angst, and heat!! Calli’s and Daemon’s (Batman’s) story has it all….drama, angst, twists, turns, things going sideways, emotions, secrets, revelations, a strong heroine, and a dark, dangerous hero (anti-hero?), and so much heat. Tracy Lorraine definitely knows how to capture your attention and keep it. I love Tracy’s books and have read them all (so far) and she is one of my favorite authors. I can always count on being drawn into her books and not wanting to put them down. She always has the right touch to have me lost in whatever world she is writing in and I love that. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Dark Princess can’t come soon enough for me. I highly recommend Dark Knight, Knight’s Ridge Empire, Dark Trilogy, and Tracy Lorraine as an author. Readers will not be disappointed. If this is your first book into the Knight’s Ridge Empire world then I highly suggest that you read from the very beginning with Wicked Summer Knight: Prequel (Stella’s and Seb’ story). If you have been reading from the beginning then I highly recommend you check out her other books if you haven’t yet. They are all wonderful books you can get lost in!! Happy Reading.
