Mateo is jaded and on his way out of the FBI when he lands a date with Rachel, a social worker. One of her cases goes haywire, and she becomes a target. Of course, Mateo won’t leave her to deal with the bad guys alone.
I enjoyed the action scenes in this story, but more than that, the connection between Mateo and Rachel was solid. Heaven was a good addition to the story and their relationship. Loved the funny moments and the hero’s protective nature. Seeing the Kings was also a treat. :)
I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is well written and the characters are described well. I would recommend reading the first book in this series to get to know the characters better. Overall this book is well written. I would recommend reading this ebook to anyone and everyone. This ebook is in stores for $6.99 (USD).
Terri Ann Johnson knocked it out of the part with Knight of Penn Quarter. She did an excellent job of crafting the perfect page turner. This was my first book by this talented author, and it won't be my last!
Excellent Read!

Mateo and Rachel are an unconventional couple brought together through some unforeseen circumstances. Both of them have a love for wanting to see change in the world, especially through their chosen professions. This book is filled with suspense, drama and romance. I highly recommend this novel. Happy Reading!

I had a blast reading this particular installment in the Knights of the Castle. Captured my attention from start to finish.
Knight of the Penn Quarter, Michelle Sims, and Terri Ann Johnson brings this series to its conclusion, and it has been an enjoyable adventure.
Agent Mateo Lopez has had too many close calls working for the government, and he is ready to turn in his badge. His commanding officer isn't willing to accept the resignation, so he is met with push back when trying to retire. He is ready to devote his attention to endeavors of his own when a murder-suicide at a foster home grabs his attention.
Rachel Jordan has everything it takes to be a rising star in her job in child social services. She goes beyond the surface and leaves no stone unturned when it comes to her clients. Is this the reason certain cases get assigned to less attentive agents? When one particular file lands on her desk in need of her immediate attention, it changes the lives of many people.
This heart-gripping case brings them together and evokes emotions from the reader. It takes both of them working together to solve this case. Once the kings are involved, no one is safe from their wrongdoing. Teo and Rachel consider themselves unlucky in love due to bad experiences and being married to their work. That all changes when the sparks begin to ignite in the field and off.
Knight of Penn Quarter has suspense, action, deceit, and criminal acts against children. But you also get a great romance between two people from different walks of life.
Great read! I wasn't ready for this series to end but looking forward to what this group does next.

This was a lot of fun and Suspense. I really like Mateo and Rachel. I liked how their relationship built up and how they helped each other to find new sides of themselves.
The story had nerve-wracking moments and also cute and sweet moments that made me read this one in almost one sitting.
There were some things were you have to let go the suspension of disbelief but overall it was a solid read.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review
They saved one of the best for last with this book. I have read books from both authors individually, and it was great to see them come together for this final book in the Knights of the Castle series. Although I'm sure Rachel and Mateo would have never thought they would be with each other, this book goes to show you how someone not your type just might be the right person for you. The chemistry they had for each other was nothing short of amazing. This was a great book, and I can't wait to see what the publishing company as well as all of the authors come up with next.
First off I want to say huge thank you to the publisher Macro Publishing Group -Independent Publishers Group ,the authors Terri Ann Johnson, Michele Sims , and to NetGalley for inviting me to inviting me to read and review this series, and I can't wait to see what they come up with next, because something tells me its going to be just as good as this one was and is, of course I still have the problem of choose which of the main hot male characters are and was my all time favorite , and you know what I've decide to keep them all.While I'ma sad this series ending , i can say that this was the perfect one to end with, because the story simply flowed with non stop action right from the very start, alone with drama, and romance , and the characters themselves bright to life the very topic the story was about because you could feel their pain as well as their fear.
This was a quick and decent read, this book definitely had some heart pounding moments! It had lots of action and suspense. I would recommend reading it, although it wasn't my all time favorite it still was a decent read! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
After a case lands Rachel and Mateo, together it also puts Rachel in danger. Rachel is used to taking care of herself and doesn’t listen to Mateo. She finds herself in a situation and Mateo has to call in his friend Dro, and some fellow Kings of the Castle. This is an exciting and excellent read.

This definitely was an amazing tale. I got so wrapped up that I found myself seduced by Mateo’s character. It was written so well that it flowed as if there was only one author. Definitely recommending this!
KNIGHT OF PENN QUARTER co-authored by Terry Ann Johnson and Michele Sims is the ninth and final novella in the multi-authored, multi-cultural KNIGHTS OF THE CASTLE romantic suspense series-a spin off from the multi-authored KINGS OF THE CASTLE series. This is FBI agent Mateo Lopez, and social worker Rachel Jordan’s story line. KNIGHT OF PENN QUARTER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from third person perspective KNIGHT OF PENN QUARTER follows social worker Rachel Jordan as she struggles in the aftermath of wellness check wherein a suspected murder-suicide has taken the lives of two young children, and their foster parents. With the eldest child missing, and an attack against our story line hero that left her shaken and confused, Rachel calls in FBI agent Mateo Lopez, a recent blind date that she hopes to turn into something more. As Rachel reveals some of the back story about the possibility of the children used in drug trafficking, Mateo calls in the Kings of the Castle, a well-connected, well-to-do group of philanthropic and covert men whose purpose is to rescue the threatened and abused.
KNIGHT OF PENN QUARTER is a story of betrayal and pretense, drug trafficking and murder. The fast paced premise is intriguing and compelling; the characters are energetic and animated; the romance is but a whisper as it remains secondary to the events of the story line premise.

Terri Ann Johnson and Michele Sims have been tasked with the final book of the Knights of the Castle Series; and I must say they did an excellent job. Both are new authors to me and after reading Knight of Penn Quarters I will definitely be reading more their work. The authors did an excellent job collaborating that you don’t know who wrote what. The book simply flowed along with action, drama, romance and the Knight of Penn Quarter was definitely a page turner.
Mateo is an FBI agent and he’s contemplating retiring and venture out on his own for his company Global Security LLC; but he is given one last assignment before he turns in his final paper work.
Rachel is a social worker and she has been tasked with one of her co-worker’s assignments.
Mateo and Rachel story takes place in Washington DC and both have friends in common Lachelle and John who were introduced in “Faith Alone” by Terri Ann Johnson, which I will be adding to my TBR pile.
Lachelle and John think that Mateo and John would be good together and they go out on a date. Sparks are all over the place.
A case that Rachel and Mateo are working on puts them together and Rachel in danger. Rachel is the alpha female and is use to taking care of herself and doesn’t listen to Mateo. She finds herself in a predicament and is kidnapped and Mateo call in his friend Dro a King of the Castle who calls in his fellow Kings of the Castle.
This is a great end to the series and I am looking for more from the New York Times best-selling author Naleighna Kai and her tribe they did an awesome job with the Knights Of The Castle.
I received an ARC from Naleighna Kai and I leaving a voluntary review.
