A full review is included at the end of this post, but in short, I adored "Knox" and highly recommend it for all contemporary romance fans. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in this series!

Knox by Prescott Lane is now live!
Sexiest man alive, scene stealer, Hollywood headliner.
That's what the world calls him. I've got more colorful names for him, all of which would be bleeped out if I was on air doing my radio show. Even if he hadn't broken my heart, he would just be Knox to me. Not a famous movie star.
Just a boy.
The boy who grew to be my first love.
That is, until he ripped my heart out of my chest and stepped on it, live on the red carpet.
I thought that was all behind me. Until he decided to come waltzing back into my life. Granted, he looked hot as heck doing it, but that's neither here nor there.
He may have acted alongside some of Hollywood's hottest "it" girls, but being my leading man is a much harder part to win.
My Review
I adored "Knox" by Prescott Lane, a sweet, funny, heartwarming, and heartbreaking story with a healthy dose of steam between main characters Mae and Knox as well as several unexpected twists and turns that kept me glued to my Kindle and turning the pages long past my bedtime. I read most of this book in a single session because I absolutely had to know what was going to happen next!
The second chance element of this romance was particularly well-crafted, and I really appreciated that Mae gave Knox a hard time at first, forcing him to explain exactly what went wrong between them when they were younger and work to earn her forgiveness and trust. Knox wasn't afraid to fight for his second chance, however, and I loved the way he used the cassette recordings they exchanged as kids in his campaign to win her back. I also loved how hard he tried to protect Mae when their relationship went public in a way that neither of them had planned. The media attention was a huge obstacle for them to overcome, and I honestly wasn't sure how they would get past it at times. I was really happy that they managed to come up with a plan that worked for them in the end.
In addition to Knox and Mae, I really enjoyed the book's supporting characters, who added a lot of depth, humor, and heart to the narrative. Mae's grandmother Imogen (aka Gigi) and best friend Everly were especially wonderful, and I was very intrigued by what we learned about Knox's older brother Ryder. I can't wait to get my hands on Ryder's story next!
Overall, I highly recommend "Knox" for all fans of contemporary romance. I will definitely be checking out more of Prescott Lane's work in the future.
