When a dark-eyed stranger gets caught up in Sonya’s latest mission, she starts to question all her hard-won instincts. Something about Angel tells her he’s more than he seems, and sometimes, when she least expects it, he reminds her of a man she used to know. As the bullets fly, she realizes that in love and war Bunothing is ever what it seems…

My Rating: 4.5 stars
I have loved the Black Knights, Inc series from the very beginning. As the twelfth book publishes, it’s rather sad to know that my time with these amazing men and women is coming to a close.
I also find that I really don’t want to say too much about Built to Last, the final story in this series that has kept me on the edge of my seat for a very long time. Why? Because if you’ve followed the series then you need to experience Angel and Sonya’s finding each other again, dealing with their past and fighting the most evil criminal ever all for yourself. And if you’re starting the series here… well, you need to go back to Hell On Wheels and follow through the entire series because the threads woven throughout all the stories shouldn’t be missed. I don’t mean that to sound harsh, but a series built on intrigue, black-ops, secrets, and hidden agendas really needs to be read from the start, coming in on the last book won’t give you the entire story.
Angel and Sonya have both been through hell – there is no other way to explain it. Both have moved on but without all the information they really needed. Today, Angel is quite different from the man who Sonya loved, and Angel has never stopped loving this woman in spite of almost desperately trying with a woman in every damn port. Watching them come together, learn each other’s secrets and take down a madman while celebrating their love for each other was a roller coaster ride that I completely loved. If this series had to end, then Built to Last took it out with fireworks. I can’t wait to see what Julie Ann Walker has in store for us next. If you love Romantic Suspense, really intricate story-lines, intriguing believable characters, and one heck of a story then you’d enjoy the Black Knights, Inc series. I simply don’t believe you can dive in at the end or the middle and get the full effect or enjoyment of this series. But that’s my own opinion, that choice is up to you.
*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*
