AUTHOR BIO
USA Today bestselling author Amie Knight has been a reader for as long as she can remember and a romance lover since she could get her hands on her momma's books. She’s a dedicated wife and mother with a deep love of music, makeup, and house plants. When she isn't reading and writing, you can catch her jamming out in the car with her two kids and husband to '90s R&B, country, and show tunes. Amie draws inspiration from her childhood in Columbia, South Carolina, and can't imagine living anywhere other than the South.
This was a fast and fun holiday novella that I really enjoyed. There was great chemistry and dialog, a cute and unexpected pet, family drama, and a magical setting.
A Wild Heart, an all-new single mom second chance standalone romance full of heat and emotion from USA Today bestselling author Amie Knight, is available now!
I lost a huge piece of myself the day my husband was killed in action. In the months that followed, I felt like my grief would swallow me whole. My only solace was my daughter, whose bright light guided me through the darkest of times.
I never wanted to meet someone else. I vowed to never fall in love again, especially with a marine.
It was supposed to be no strings attached and for a while it was. But Weston Reeves’s grumpy soul called to my tortured one. Maybe it was the midnight rides on his bike or the way that only I could make him smile. He lit me up, set my body afire, and for the first time in five years made me feel alive.
Our relationship was probably the worst gamble I’d ever taken. But my stupid, wild heart needed him, even if our love was destined to burn me to ashes.

The Final Play isn’t always the end. Sometimes, it’s the beginning of something far more beautiful.
As a professional linebacker, I lived and breathed football.
The only thing I loved as much as the game was my twin brother, Max, who kept me almost as busy cleaning up his messes.
The most recent of which landed him behind bars.
So, it shouldn’t have surprised me when a beautiful woman showed up on my doorstep, claiming to be pregnant with Max’s baby.
Glory was unexpected, infuriating, and flat-out crazy most of the time.
But no matter how hard I tried to deny it, that tiny spitfire slammed into my boring life with the strength of a Category 5 hurricane, blowing through my defenses until she’d carved her name in my heart—permanently.
I feared we would never work. She was a single mom, my brother’s ex, and one more chance for me to fail yet another person I loved.
My review: 4.5 stars
Author Amie Knight handled the set up of the book (heroine is pregnant with the hero's brother's baby) so well! I knew from the emotional prologue that The Final Play was going to tug on my heartstrings, but at the end I had such a big smile on my face with how everything came together so fantastically. I loved Mason and Glory separately as well as together and I enjoyed catching up with characters from the previous Summerville Sports books. The Final Play reads well as a standalone, but I do recommend the first two books as well.
The Stars Duet Boxed Set, including the complete The Stars Series and the bonus story Christmas Beneath the Stars from Amie Knight, is available now!
Beneath His Stars I met Adam Nova under the twinkling lights of a nighttime sky. He was hiding, but that gorgeous boy didn’t belong in the dark. Nevertheless it was where he lived; a different world than mine. I was Livingston Montgomery, Southern debutante. With the world at my fingertips, I was well on my way to being another spoiled socialite. But I didn’t want money. I didn’t want social status. I wanted him; tattoos, sarcastic smirk, bad boy reputation and all. It didn’t matter that he was from the wrong side of the tracks. It didn’t matter that my family forbade me from seeing him. I just wanted to be Beneath His Stars.
In Her Space I was reunited with Livingston Montgomery in the broad sunshine of a Carolina morning, right where she belonged; in the light. It’d been too long since I’d seen her face. She had changed, but so had I. I was Adam Nova, reformed bad boy. Now, successful business man. I had it all, except for the one person I’d always wanted, and now I was back to claim her. She was living in the shadows, just a shell of the former girl I knew. But it didn’t matter that she tried to hide from me in the dark. I’d follow her into the deepest depths of hell. I just wanted to be In Her Space.
The gorgeous cover and enticing blurb drew me in- but Amie Knight's talent for emotionally-charged romance kept me up way past my bedtime, turning page after page. I found both Adam and Liv to be well-developed characters, and their dialog was so real and believable. Although their relationship started a bit slow, when the first kiss happened, I swooned.... and kept swooning! The ending on this book absolutely leaves you wanting more, but I expect that with a duet announcement and know that the wait for the conclusion will be well worth it. Beneath His Stars will absolutely be on my Best of 2018 list!
In Her Space: 5 stars!
What an epic finale to the duet! I waited on pins and needles to read In Her Space and was not disappointed. Liv and Adam had drawn me in in the first book and it was so neat to see them 10 years later. I was pulling for them to get their well-deserved happy ending and Amie Knight did such a fantastic job taking us on their journey. This duet will be on my Best of 2018 list for sure.
Excerpt from
Beneath His Stars
“Are you smoking?” Her lip curled in
disgust.
I nodded.
It was her
turn to look disgusted this time. “Do you even speak?”
I nodded again
and she shook her head in disbelief before reaching over the space between us
and snatching the cigarette out of my mouth so fast I didn’t see it coming. I
stood there dumbfounded. People didn’t snatch s$%& away from me. People were
scared of me. Not this brave girl. I should have known.
“Smoking is
disgusting.” She said it quietly like it didn’t matter, but I could tell it did
to her. She bent over and put the butt out on the driveway before standing up
again and shoving it in her pocket.
I smirked. “You gonna keep that?”
Her eyes ignited with anger. “No, I’m
going to throw it in the trash because I’m not a litterbug.”
Shaking my head, I muttered under my
breath, “F$%&ing litterbug.” She was being cute. The girl with the too long
legs and too big mouth that I couldn’t get out of my mind was f$%&ing cute,
too. I was screwed.
I wanted to full-on smile at her
cuteness, but I held my happiness close to my chest. God knew it always came
with a price. And I was done paying.
“You kiss your momma with that smoke
mouth?” she asked snarkily, clearly pissed off about my smirk.
I lowered my
head and took a step back, running a hand through my dark hair. I wanted to
tell this girl things. Things I had no business telling her, like that I didn’t
kiss my momma with anything anymore. Instead, I asked the question that had
been plaguing me since she’d seemed surprised it was me who had left the notes.
“Who did you
think it was?”
Her face
screwed up in confusion. “What?”
I stood
straighter and licked my lips before answering. “Who did you think left the
notes?”
I was feeling
strangely vulnerable in that moment waiting for her answer and I didn’t like it
one bit. Why did it matter to me who wrote her or didn’t? Or who else thought
she was the most intriguing thing ever? For fuck’s sake, she was just another
rich bitch from the island. Why did anything about what she was about to say
matter to me at all?
She bit her
lip again and I still wanted to reach over and pull it from her teeth. It was
sexy that lip bite, innocent even, and for some reason that made it all the
more attractive.
“I don’t
know.” Her brow furrowed in thought and she looked away, almost like she didn’t
want to tell me the answer to my question. But then her eyes landed on mine
again. “I thought it was the other guy—”
“Boone?” I
interrupted loudly.
A disgusted
look crossed her face. “God, no. Not him. The blond. The other guy.”
I let out a
long breath accompanied by a sarcastic chuckle. “Grady?” That guy didn’t even
graduate high school and she thought he knew anything about astronomy. I would
have laughed if the whole thing hadn’t annoyed me so much.
Her eyes
brightened. “Is that his name?”
I pulled out
my pack of cigarettes again. “You like him or something?”
“What? No!”
I walked out
into the street and lit my smoke far away from her.
She started to
follow me. “Where are you going?”
“Home.”
“But I don’t
even know your name!” she yelled and stomped a foot.
I almost
smiled again.

BLURB
Dear Ida,
Never in a million years did I think I’d turn to an advice column for help, but I’m stuck. Moving to New York is my dream come true, but the big city is a tough place to navigate for a small-town, southern girl like me. Luckily, fate sent me my very own knight in shining armor.
Only Whitaker Aldrich didn’t ride in on his white steed to save me. He picked me up on his Harley Davidson, wearing a leather jacket and sporting a cocky smirk that doesn’t bode well for my man free diet. He screams one-night stand.
But there’s so much more to him than that bad boy billionaire persona. He's thoughtful and kind and his six-year-old son is his entire world.
That twinkle in his brilliant green eyes makes me weak in the knees and I’m terrified that I won’t be able to protect my already bruised heart. I should probably say no when he asks me to be his nanny, right?
Yeah, getting involved with Whit would be a huge mistake.
I should definitely say no. Maybe... Possibly?
Help!
Yours truly,
The Billionaire's Babysitter
Bad Boy Billionaire is a billionaire/single dad/friends to lovers romance inspired by Stuck-Up Suit.
My review: 4 stars
I have always enjoyed Amie Knight's writing and was excited to read her addition into the Cocky Hero Club. It was fun to revisit characters from Stuck Up Suit and I thought she did an excellent job weaving the character in to her new story, but it's really not necessary to have read Stuck Up Suit to enjoy Bad Boy Billionaire. Grace was such an adorable southern girl but she was finding it hard to settle in in New York, so it was so sweet to see her bond with Whit and his son Andrew. The dialog and banter between the main characters was fantastic and their chemistry was apparent. Once we got to know Whit he wasn't much of a bad boy after all- he was pretty amazing and an all-around great guy. The ending of this book made me smile so big- what a great epilogue!
