About this listen

I won’t let anything happen to you.

Fourteen years ago, Braxton Kane’s feelings were forbidden.

As an officer, he couldn’t fall for an enlisted…no matter how much he longed for Holt Madigan.

Now — as a police chief in love with a digital assassin — his promise to always protect Holt is becoming harder to keep.

I’ll protect you.

Holt doesn’t understand why his best friend has been pushing him away for months.

But when Brax’s life and career are threatened, Holt refuses to allow the distance any longer.

The Madigans protect their own, and Brax is family, whether he believes it or not.

I won’t let anything happen to you either.

Forced together, Holt realizes his feelings for his best friend have changed. His desire to explore the promise their single night together held is undeniable. His resolve to protect the man who has always protected him is unshakable. But if Holt wants a future with Brax, he’ll have to search and destroy the person who attacked him — before Brax activates the kill switch and sacrifices himself.

Love and devotion. Friendship and trust. Family. It all comes down to this. Holt and Kane, together at last, in the final book of the Fog City romantic suspense series.

Brax and Holt's story is my favourite in the series, not just because it's the conclusion so everything we've heard so far in the previous books has been leading up to nicely warpping up the plot, but because of the kind of romance we've got going on here. These guys have the sweetest, slow burn going on that spans over a decade and it's just perfect to me.

The whole thing has been lovingly brought to life with Christian Leatherman's narration...a great listen. Do make sure you've read/listened to all of the other books in the series - this is not a standalone. 5*

Love This!

5 Stars!

I've been wishing for Brax and Holt's book ever since I read Prince of Killers and Layla Reyne didn't disappoint! For maximum enjoyment and a better understanding of this world, you need to read at the very least the Fog City trilogy. Silent Knight features cameos from some of my favorite AIW and Trouble Brewing characters, too, which might have made me squee a little, LOL.

This story is told in three parts. The first is in the past and told from Brax's POV, I just felt so bad witnessing Brax's unrequited love for Holt, even if it was a delight to see how their friendship became as tight as we witnessed in the Fog City series. The next part is in Holt's perspective and is set in the present. And the last part is from Brax's point of view.

Brax was so protective of Holt and Lily, despite it being a conflict with him being a Police Chief. Determined to save and protect them from everything and anything. He was even more amazing and swoon-worthy than I imagined. I really liked Holt, and how he finally realized his feelings for Brax. It was a slow burn, but it was so well done that I really didn't mind the wait. Their chemistry was off-the-charts from the first moment I met them, so I knew they would be explosive when they finally got together and they were. *fans self*

Christian Leatherman did such a great job with the audiobook! I think this is the first book I've listened to him narrate, but he did quite well with Silent Knight, especially considering how many characters there are in it.

I'm a huge fan of books with demisexual characters and this one was especially well done. Never mind that it was plot-oriented, action-packed, and interesting, and tied up some things that had been dealt with before, but not completely. And that ending! OMG, I hope this isn't the last we've seen of these fantastic characters, I just can't get enough of them all, and Ms. Reyne's storytelling brilliance.

Very recommendable!

Loved Brax and Holt's story!

I enjoyed the first half of the book where Brax and Holt were in the Army, but after they left and ended up together in San Franciso with all of the Madigans and their criminal shenanigans things became over-complicated and confusing.
The romance aspects of this story were slow-burn, painfully so, and I kept listening so they could get their HEA.
After Holt and Brax inevitably got together they were pulled apart. The contrived angst got too much for me. I became bored with the manufactured angst and rambling monologues about the layers of deception and who put a hit on Brax. I wanted the book to be over 2 hours before it was. To be honest, It became a bit of a struggle and the only thing that kept me listening was the great narrator.

Drawn out contrived angst

I really loved this story. It was the perfect end to a wonderful series, filled with mystery, suspense, betrayal, corruption, trust, and love.

Holt's story was amazing. I loved how the pieces of him from other books clicked into place and how he and Brax spent so many years apart, but found each other in the end.

New to me narrator got it all right!

If you haven't read/listened to this series, you should. It's fantastic!

Fantastic end

As far as I can make out, this is the last in the Fog City series (of which this is the second book I've read) And it's way more than a single friends to lovers. There's a lot of back story here because Holt and Braxton have known each other for 10+ years. Its full to bursting with pining and longing and almosts, that you might start to wonder if it will ever be their time. But when the moment happens, it's electric and they went through a lot to get their HEA. I've enjoyed for the most part what I've read from this author but this is my favourite book of theirs by a country mile. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

So many almosts
