KNOT by M. Mabie
She has all the damn answers. I’ve always been a free spirit. It’s my nature.
I crave control, but with her it’s far more. He’s a power hungry climber.
Her wealth could buy and sell me. It’s too much pressure being the center of anyone’s focus.
She underestimates my desire for her, my need to please just her. When he’s vulnerable, it’s hard to deny him.
Her crooked smile cripples me. He hides his demons, but I’m no fool.
She thinks not committing to anyone makes her more honest. She’s wrong. A man like him deserves someone who can offer that kind of love.
She promises nothing, yet I feel like a king when she says my name.
I never let anyone possess me like he did. Not before. Not after.
My greatest regret was compromising. I should have never held back.
Still, when we’re apart I’m not myself.
I miss the days when she was just down the hall.
He’s better off without me, and it hurts.
The ugly truth is I need her more than she needs me.
Our relationship was born out of lust and curiosity.
The lies we told ourselves killed it.
Together, we found Nirvana.
We learned it was all a mirage.
I ruined him.
I broke her heart.
I keep coming back.
I can’t let her go.
KNOT is a contemporary romance and a complete standalone. It is the first spin-off from the best-selling Wake Series. You do not need to read BAIT, SAIL, or ANCHOR to enjoy this book in its entirety, but if you love angst you’ll enjoy them, too.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
In true M. Mabie fashion she has given us two complex characters that kept me turning the pages to find out if they could overcome their differences and make it work. Both are strong willed and speak their mind but when they come together they are explosive.
Reggie is total alpha male. Knows what he wants and goes after it. He meets Nora and she is a free spirit and also alpha. Reggie is a one woman man and Nora is into the poly lifestyle. They were as opposite as you could get. Reggie was relentless Nora was under his skin and he had to try something to get her to see it could work. Nora would throw out so many mixed signals and Reggie would analyze them and use problem solving techniques to overcome her obstacles. Reggie and Nora do things they both thought they could never do but with each other they tried because they want to make the other happy. In the end is it enough?
This was emotional and I felt every bit of it. Knot is the perfect title for this book because I felt the knot in my stomach many times while reading this. I would find myself counting along with Reggie during parts of this and felt that same anxiety he felt at times. My heart ached for Reggie and Nora watching them go through what they did. I loved the patience Reggie had with Nora giving her space when she needed it and turning up the Alpha other times. Like Nora I was drawn to both Reggie Jekyll and Hyde sides.
