Book Review: Built to Last by Julie Ann Walker

If you are into romance, “Built to Last” is for you. If you are into thrillers, this book is for you. And finally, if you are into romantic thriller, then this book and the whole Black Knight Inc. series by Julie Ann Walker is for you.

You’re probably wondering I had to write that whole paragraph and not just be short and concise, going straight to romantic thriller. I did that first, but then it did not feel right. “Built to Last” is a romance, it’s a thriller and a romantic thriller. It fits all three genres and if I miss one, I will be doing it a disservice.

First, there is the mysterious Jamin Agassi, better known as “Angel” and there is former Interpol Agent Sonya Butler. Their relationship is very unusual and their chemistry… whew!!! Just the way that they look at each other will get you hot and bothered!

As the readers get to know more about Angel and Sonya and traverse their story, characters from the earlier books make cameo appearances. This is the final book in the series, so it is sort of a farewell as Julie Ann Walker reveal what has happened to them off screen.

But, don’t worry, you don’t need to have read their books to understand what is going on. The author gives enough background material so that you won’t be lost. “Built to Last” is a standalone novel. Still, you will find the other characters intriguing, so I won’t be surprised if you pick up the earlier books after reading this.

Built to Last” is Rated M for Mature due to violence and sexual content.

Description: Built to Last

In the epic conclusion to the BKI series, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie Ann Walker delivers her biggest bombshell yet!

Welcome to Black Knights Inc.

What appears to be a tricked-out motorcycle shop on the North Side of Chicago is actually headquarters for the world’s most elite covert operatives. Deadly, dangerous, and determined, they’ll steal your breath and your heart.

After a mission-gone-sideways forces Jamin “Angel” Agassi to change his identity, he’s determined to bring down the world’s worst crime syndicate kingpin once and for all. That’s going to be the easy part. Keeping Interpol agent Sonya Butler from discovering who he really is—and blazing another trail into his heart—is the challenge.
