Another addition to the Knight Family series. Lady Eugenia is the only daughter of a duke and the youngest of 5. When she makes her debut, childhood friend, Graham, is tasked with looking out for her as she navigates the season. Her brothers being busy with their own families. She leads Graham a merry chase with her hijinks and hoyden tendencies. I enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed the previous books in the series.
Thank you Elizabeth Johns, Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me an advance copy for my honest feedback.

Look at the cover! It's so so stunning! and yes finally Euginia's story!
I enjoy this book more then what I thought it would be and I recommend this book to anyone out there who enjoy historical romance, this book worth the try!


Lady Eugenia Knight was the youngest of five, and the only daughter of a duke, so was it any wonder she was a hoyden? When she made her London debut, naturally Society—and the gossip columns—were fascinated with her. When her best friend and her brothers married, she was left to her own devices with an inattentive aunt and a childhood family friend as chaperones to navigate the perils of the ton.

Graham Tinsley, said childhood friend and neighbor, had returned from his diplomatic post to learn the duties of the family viscountcy. Yet, he spent most of his time in London enjoying Society during the Season. As the Knight brothers began to marry one by one at an alarming rate, he found himself squiring Eugenia about and rescuing her from one mishap after another.

A Charming Regency Romance

They have been friends since childhood, but could they become more? Lady Eugenia is a hoiden, and Graham is forever chastising her for being improper. Eugenia has no use for society’s rules, and she often forgets them. She is a free spirit in a society that frowns upon people like her. When scandal finds her, she is faced with difficult choices. Could her friend be her knight in shining armor? Would she let him protect her? This is a charming story about two friends who have feelings for each other. Those sentiments don’t take root until Eugenia is in trouble. Will she come to terms with her feelings before it is too late? There are villains intent on ruining Eugenia and Graham’s happiness. Eugenia has difficult choices to make. Will she let pride ruin her happiness, or will she embrace love when it finds her? If you like Regency romance, you might enjoy this charming story.

Although the beginning was a little too stretched out, the rest of the story was fun and entertaining. Graham's patience went beyond anything one could imagine. Although he wanted to pull his hair out because of Eugenia's indecisiveness he held back. I felt bad for Eugenia. Raised by four brothers (the herd) she never quite caught on what London society would and would not accept. So, she became falderal for the gossips and the daily embarrassing cartoons. When Genie is attacked and it looked like she was compromised Graham came to the rescue. But Genie would not consider it. I loved how her brothers protectively surrounded her and guided her. All Genie wanted was to be herself not something society wished her to be. Graham knew this and adored her for it. I love how the grandmother was a feisty type of woman and she was funny and outrageous. I can see who Genie took after. An extremely entertaining story after you get through the beginning of the book. I do recommend it.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Easy-to-read
Entertaining
Funny
Happily Ever After
Unpredictable
Wonderful characters

Lady Eugenia finally gets her story! The youngest of five, with four being brothers, she has learned how to make herself heard. Graham may as well have been her fifth brother, but now that they are grown, he sees her as so much more than the girl she used to be. He knows what he is getting into, at least he thinks he does. I love friends to lovers, and this is a great example of why this trope can be so fun. I enjoyed the time it took to build as Eugenia needed to be sure she was loved for who she really was and not married out of convenience, even if for her own protection. A delightful ending to a great series. I received a copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are my own, freely given.

Lady Eugenia Knight was a very talented debutante, however her talents led her towards the outspoken end of the spectrum which always seemed to bore her dance partners or make them want to explode because they didn’t care for her forthrightness.
Her brothers were being married and just when she knew she was going to be forced into a marriage of a sham a friend comes riding into save her so he thinks. Graham Tinsley, a friend of the family knows he is ready to make the leap into marriage, but only with Eugenia.
Now, the issue is to convince her that he wants to marry her and help her. Does he realize he is in love yet? Does she know she is in love yet?

Even though this book has a predictability it still has enough of a storyline that keeps you wanting to know more about the characters and how it will end up for sure with them.

I love to have enough of lighthearted reads in my library that when we are on day trips or I just want a switch from heavy dramas or I just need a quick pick me upper!

I received a free advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.

To me, it seemed mostly like a long, too drawn out story of "does he" "does she" "do I' friends to lovers. It just went on and on and could have and I feel should have wrapped up long before it did. It also seemed to me that this was the last book in a series about four brothers and a sister, but I don't find previous books by this author in Amazon Kindle, so that must be my mistake. I skimmed a lot to get to the end. Can't recommend. #NetGalley #ShiningKnight

Be still my heart! What's not to love? Having known each other growing up, Graham and Eugenie are the perfect match. Of course her brothers had always been around, but with all of them either married or away, Graham was left with looking out for Genie, and yes, she was a handful!

Adored these two. Genie was really a tomboy that was trying to conform now that she was on the marriage mart. It seemed no matter what she did, her caricature ended up in the daily society pages.. Oh not flattering at all!

At some point Graham began to see her as the grown up woman she was, and his feelings began to change. He was such a handsome, upstanding gentleman who was hard not to adore, can I say?
This has been a delightful series and just cannot get enough!

Shining Knight by Elizabeth Johns is the fifth in the Gentlemen of Knights series featuring the Knighton family. We have reached the fifth sibling, and only girl, Eugenia. Eugenia is a bit of a hoyden and is having trouble fitting in during her come-out season. Their next-door neighbor from the country, Graham Tinsley, has been keeping an eye on her for her brother the duke. Graham had been on the Continent for years and was only recently at home and amazed to see the difference in Eugenia, who had been a child when he left. She had several suitors, none of whom seemed really right, but certainly no wrong. There was even a duke. There were also men just after her money. She had been warned, and now, had been warned specifically about one man who would try to compromise her. She found him outside her window, after having made sure her door was locked. She had a knife. She could protect herself. Despite the fact it was obvious what had happened, she was ruined, and her most likely suitor had backed out after seeing it with his own eyes. Graham helped her fell to her home, to her brother, but not before suggesting she could marry him to keep the rumors at bay.

Graham had to be nearly knocked over the head to recognize his feelings for Eugenia, and how perfect their marriage would be. Once he recognized it, he was all in, and nothing would stop him. Eugenia had always been half in love with Graham, even when she was a child, but she recognized that he was offering for her to save her from disgrace, not because he loved her. She would save him from himself and hold out for the loved she felt she deserved. These are both very entertaining characters that have been placed in a situation largely out of their control. What brother wants to think of his good friend and his little sister? In reluctant partners, it is usually the man who is reluctant. Not this time and it is entertaining to watch the whole thing unfold. A rewarding romance that is worth the time.

I was invited to read a free ARC of Shining Knight by Dragonblade, through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. #netgalley #shiningknight

This is my first book by this author. I had no trouble following the story even if it is the fifth book in the series.

It is a clean romance, nothing more then a kiss, but the tension is there. I enjoyed the characters a lot. I liked the fact that Eugenia was once of a kind, not really fitting in and how Graham loved her just as she was. There is a lot of great interaction, funny situaties and wonderful banter.

Eugenia Knight is the youngest and the only girl of 5 children. She had been raised by her 4 brothers. In addition to her own brothers, her neighbor, Graham Tinsley, is considered to be her brother too, calling them all the herd. Eugenia is trying to convince her brother, Rowley, the Duke of Knighton, to take her to London for the season. Graham has retuned after 6 years with the diplomatic service. When he sees Eugenia across the ballroom floor, he is shocked at how beautiful she has become.

Eugenia is used to being a part of her brothers when she was little, playing roughly and riding fast. The family tries to get her to be a bit more ladylike, but she is stubborn and enjoys having fun.

The family calls upon Graham to keep an eye on Eugenia as she attends balls and other events. They want her to find a good husband, and she considered to be an heiress. So many of the men she meets do not appeal to her and she doesn’t want a loveless marriage. But when an unsavory man tries to get her to marry him any way he can, things get desperate for her. Graham steps in and that’s when the two of them really look at one another for the first time as a couple.

This is a sweet story that I enjoyed immensely. It’s so refreshing to read a Regency romance that isn’t filled with spies, etc. Eugenia is a fun character and Graham is definitely swoon worthy. Don’t miss this book. Well done.

Copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Lady Eugenia Knight has always run wild with her brothers and their neighbour, but that has not prepared her for the wilds of London society.
Growing up without a mother means nobody thought to teach her to be "ladylike". Our heroine is featured in far too many comic sheets.
Graham Tinsley has been a Knight family friend for years and will always be there to help protect his bestfriend. He didn't realize just how much it would entail.
A very amusing and fast paced historical romance. You will fall in love with with our spirited heroine on the first page. For someone surrounded by loving family, she is still frustratingly sad at times.
This is the final book in the Knight family series but you don't have to have read the others to enjoy this.
A light hearted, sweet read .
Great fun.

Genie and Graham have know each other for all their lives, more like brother and sister than neighbors. When Graham goes away for 6 years he returns to find Genie fully grown and to his horror he senses a spark of attraction upon seeing her again. Graham is determined to be her protector, despite Genies penchant for absolute chaos where ever she goes. He comes to the rescue unfailingly, much to her chagrin.

This is a really sweet book and well written. Now don't get me wrong, I like a clean sweet book as well as a steamy one, but this one seemed to be missing the transition from sibling love to passion. Overall, this is a really good sweet book.

Graham Tinsley is on my list of swoon-worthy heros. If Lady Eugenia had not finally taken him I would. A laugh out loud adventure of a young lady who always breaks London society rules without thinking first. Graham is her protector who with her four brothers are called by Genie "the herd". When Genie is compromised, Graham seizes the opportunity to claim her for his own. Now he has to convince her he really loves her. What a sweetheart! This is a keeper! My favorite LOL is the hat and the monkeys! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Thanks go to the publisher and Net-Galley for the electronic copy of Shining Knight by Elizabeth Johns. I voluntarily agreed to read and review this delightful Regency romance prior to publication. My opinions are my own and nothing has influenced my rating.

Shining Knight is an enchanting traditional Regency romance with endearing characters and an emotionally charged plot. The pacing pulled me in from the first page and kept me engaged until the last.

Lady Eugenia Knight is the heroine, and an intriguing one to say the least. She’s not the typical Regency lady since she grew up spending most of her time with her brothers. At times, she’s a bit awkward and doesn’t enjoy London society, getting into mischief on more than one occasion. She prefers spending her time in the country much more than town. What I enjoyed most about her character is her unique and quirky personality.

Graham Tinsley is the handsome hero, and he has all the characteristics I enjoy most in a Regency gentleman. He’s known Eugenia most of his life, since he’s best friends with her brothers. In the beginning, he’s a bit clueless and doesn’t see her in any way other than affection, but as they spend time together, he quickly realizes how truly lovely and vivacious she is. He sees her kind nature.

I enjoyed Eugenia and Graham’s romance. It’s sweet, yet there is definitely a spark of electricity between them. Right from the beginning, I could see they were made for each other. I really wanted them to find their happy ending.

If you enjoy traditional Regency romances with characters you’ll fall in love with, and a plot that will have you sighing, then you will love Shining Knight as much as I did. I just realized I have the first book in this series on my Kindle and look forward to reading it. Happy reading!

Lady Eugenia Knight the youngest of five siblings, and the only daughter of a duke, was brought up by her older brothers so it’s no wonder she's a hoyden. When she made her London debut, naturally Society and especially the gossip columns were fascinated with her. When her best friend and her brothers married, she was left to her own devices with an inattentive aunt as a chaperone to navigate the perils of the ton. Graham Tinsley, a close childhood friend and neighbour, had returned from his diplomatic post to learn the duties of the family viscountcy.

As the Knight brothers began to marry one by one at an alarming rate, he found himself squiring Eugenia about and rescuing her from one mishap after another.
This is the fifth book in the series & whilst it’s easily read on it’s own the Knight siblings are delightful. Graham was like another brother to Eugenia but when he sees she’s all grown up he starts to see her less & less as a sister. A well written book that flowed well & Had me engrossed from cover to cover. Strong characters added to my enjoyment. Eugenia was a joy, who fell from one disaster to another, some of which were out of her control, Graham was toe curlingly gorgeous & obviously smitten with Eugenia. A lovely friends to lovers story that often had me chuckling
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

I thoroughly enjoyed this highly entertaining and witty romance. Graham Tinsley is the hero every woman longs for. Despite having known Lady Eugenia since she was a little girl, he is nevertheless in love with her but realises that if he is to win her heart, he has to give her space to come to the realisation that he is exactly what she needs. Unfortunately, Eugenia knows she needs Graham, but it is to extricate her from the scrapes she manages to get into, many times without any effort on her part. Whilst she does love him, it is as a brother. When both Graham and Eugenia find themselves the targets of nefarious plots, they join forces, but Eugenia comes out of the situation with her reputation severely smudged, and Graham once again steps into the breach, trusting that Eugenia will finally come to her senses and see that he means what he says. This novel has many tender and gentle moments, but there are also really hilarious incidents that made me hoot with laughter. The story is well-written and entertaining and kept my interest from beginning to end. Although part of a series, it is a standalone and comes to a delightful conclusion. I received a copy of this novel as a gift through Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley, and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Eugenia Knight is the last of five and the only girl. She was young when her mom died. She had no one but her brothers to help her learn. So she learned what they did. She spent almost every day in the gossip columns. Poor thing couldn't do anything right and she was so frustrated. She is lovely and so caring.
Graham Tinsley left when he finished college and went into the Diplomat Corp. He spent six years on the continent. When he returned he could not believe how much she had grown. Six years is a long time. His father needed him to come home learn what he needed to take over. His dad was very ill.
She called all the males in her life the herd. There were five of them, three had married, her brother Felix was in the Army and Graham had come back from overseas.
She tries so hard but she is not made to be a dull lady. London is not for her. He said she was a free spirit and it would ruin her.
This was a wonderful story. An eccentric young woman trying to find her place. Graham knows her very well and cares about her. As she cares for him. The characters are so appealing and Charming.
The tale flows so well and is easy to read. She makes it so clear you can slip into your mind and see Genie at a full gallop in the park. Or maybe watch the little boy get chased by ducks and fall into the lake. I loved it and hope to read more of her. I highly recommend this truly enchanting and exciting novel.
I received this ARC from Net Galley and voluntarily reviewed it.

Lady Eugenia Knight aka Genie is quite the hoyden and keeps London’s society quite entertained with her antics. Her brothers are all married now Graham Tinsley, Viscount , a childhood friend and neighbor, has been attempting to keep Genie out of trouble. Oh my gosh she has the worst luck and is often embarrassing herself and her family. Her brother the duke gives an ultimatum it's time to find a husband. Grahan has decided it’s time to wed and he can still keep an eye on Genie. A wonderful story as Graham realizes little Genie has grown up, but now he needs to convince her his feelings are true and marrying her is no sacrifice. Eugenia wants a love match like her brothers, but she knows after the latest scandal her chances of love are nearly impossible. Graham is a wonderful hero and friend to the Knight family, he at last finds his true love in Eugenia if only he can convince her of his true love and not be confused about his feelings. I voluntarily read and reviewed this excellent romance love story and a perfect ending to the Knight family series.

I have enjoyed this series so much and this book was no exception. Eugenia was the perfect unsure debutante, She had such a vulnerability that you couldn't help but just feel for what she was going through and I kept wanting to reach out to her. Having no female figure in her life was very apparent in her inability to trust herself or her decisions. Graham has the patience of a saint, and part of me was surprised that he would put up with her childish antics for so long. But he was sweet and patient with her, even when he wasn't. I actually really enjoyed the storyline of trying to force a marriage onto both Graham and Eugenia. Though it was a little frustrating for Eugenia to come around to Grahams feelings for her. If I had one disappointment with this book, would be the lack of Epilogue at the end, especially since this is the last in this series. I always enjoy a little follow up a while down the road. Definitely a good read, I highly recommend it and will definitely put it on my to buy list.

I received a copy of this from Netgalley for my honest opinion.
