Charlie can be summed up in three words: independent, independent, and independent. To Charlie, Knox epitomizes everything that’s wrong with college males: prolific one-night stands, drunken senseless fights, and a body that hints at prioritizing gym time over study time.
As an up-and-coming writer for Sinclair University’s newspaper, Charlie’s tasked with getting to the bottom of who’s been dropping little white pills into girls’ drinks at parties. In an ocean of All-American boys sporting polo shirts and innocent smiles, Knox is the obvious suspect. As evidence piles up against the bad boy of Sinclair, Charlie becomes more and more certain it isn’t Knox. But when her drink is dosed at a party and she wakes up on Knox’s couch the next morning, Charlie’s left with more questions than answers when it comes to Knox Jagger.
How can Charlie ever hope to uncover the truth behind a guy so closed off he’s become . . .
Hard Knox.
The Outsider Chronicles, #1
New Adult/Adult Contemporary
Hard Knox was a good sweet read for me. I know a lot of you probably think that I am completely insane for saying that it was a 'sweet read' but bear with me.
By chapter three I was completely smitten with Knox. I knew that he was nothing like the rumors had purported him to be. I knew that he was a broken boy who was just trying to survive. I can't say much more without spoiling the story.
I had, more or less, figured out the major secrets of the book by half way through chapter five. So for me there was never a looming question of what was going to happen because I was pretty sure that I knew. So I just got to enjoy the story of Knox and Charlie without all of the questions about what was actually going on.
Nicole's writing was good in this book, but I would say that it's not my favorite of hers.
