Everyone thinks I’m a playboy, but the truth is I’m technically a virgin.Don’t get me wrong — I’m no saint when it comes to women. I just refuse to take the chance of bringing an unwanted kid into the world.A kid like me.Growing up with the daily reminder that my parents didn’t give a shit about me is all the birth control I’ve ever needed in life.Until Jade.How I ended up getting lucky with the … Jade.
How I ended up getting lucky with the sexy detective is beyond me.
And like some cruel joke, fate took the one time I slipped up and turned it into my worst nightmare.
Only now, being a father isn’t what I’m terrified of. What keeps me up at night is the fact that I may never get the chance to be there for my son or daughter.
No matter what, I’ll keep fighting, because losing is just not an option.
*Knox is the third full-length, MMA romance in this series. Readers are advised to start with Cain and Ivan since Knox is a continuation of those stories. *

Sweet 4 stars – Steamy and sweet. There is something about Knox that despite his appearance and outward attitude, makes you think of him as a sweet and sensitive person. Jade was just having fun with him and having consensual interrogation with him but ended up appreciating Knox’s sincerity and love. Steamy romance. Good introduction to the MC series too. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily chose to review it.
Jade is a detective. Knox is a cage fighter for the mob. Two people on opposite sides of the law with undeniable attraction. Plenty of heat and drama to keep you turning the pages to see if they can make it as a couple.
What a book!! While I reading this and being I already read all the Savage Kings I still didn’t connect Jade as the step sister to Torin and Chase..lol..until she went home so I was like omg, anyways this is a great last book for Out of the Cage and a great beginning for Jade as a side character in the Savage King series (still can’t believe I didn’t make the connection sooner, even when the her parents name was mentioned). Definitely must read you will love Knox and Jade.
Finally… This book is here… I’ve waited so long for it… Dayum..
But let me say a few things first before I start to talk about this book.
The author that had created this amazing series is someone that I love dearly and I want everyone to know. Every single book that I’ve read made me feel things and see things differently and I want that for you guys.
Lane Hart can take you to a world of love, lust, forgiveness, madness… You name it, but be sure that you will take the ride of your life.
But now let’s talk business.
Knox is the last book from the Out Of Cage series and tells the stories of Knox and Jade.
But before you start this book you should read the other two first because despite they are all standalones you need to know a few things…
Knox is a player, a womanizer and someone that always says what’s on his mind and that can be a problem. Behind this bad boy facade hides a boy that was hurt and never really found what he was missing. He’s into one night stands but his latest gave him a surprise.
Jade is a detective that lives for her career. Since she was a kid she wanted to make the world a better place to live and safer from deadbeats like her how father. She’s feisty, stubborn and never give up from a challenge. In a world dominated by man she needs to stand up and fight for herself. One wild night Knox get the surprise of her life and now what will happen?
More… I want more… Why did it had to end? Why?
Reading this book was a breath of fresh air and I loved every word of it.
The plot is superb, super engaging, wild and hot. The interation between the characters is raw, intense and bumpy. These two are stubborn but can they see the light?
There were parts of the book that I cursed so loud because I wanted to slap someone…
Get ready for some hot stuff that will rock your world.
I’m sad. Sad because it’s over and I wanted to keep reading but this series will lead us to a new series and I’m so exited. It’s a new MC series, my favorite genre and from one author that I adore. For me it’s the perfect combo…
Oh Lane you’re amazing. This serie is amazing an DC I can’t wait for what’s about to come. Please let it be quickly…
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Knox is the final story of our YA/MMA fighters that met in a orphanage as children. Knox has always been a bit of an enigma in this series. He’s overtly sexually suggestive but privately he has been very lacking in that area. His path crossed with officer Jade Horton in Cain. They continue to run into each other during Ivan and now we finally get to read what was really going on with those two in private! Jade is a hard working, devoted policewoman. She has had a rough time working in a male dominated field and has the internal scars to prove it. From the moment she and Knox meet it was instant attraction no matter how much she tried to fight it. However crimes have been committed and Jade believes in her duty to uphold the law. How are these two external opposites going to make a relationship work? You are going to have to read their story to find out. I received a review copy of Knox and I highly recommend this. It’s funny, angsty, sexy, sweet and has a bit of suspense running through their story. it’s written in dual POV and I have read the entire series. Knox’s story leads in to the Savage Kings MC series too.
OMG! Knox is totally my favorite! His story was breaking my heart into a million pieces! Like I wanted to jump into the book so that I could beat the crap out of Jade…. but then I remembered that she is pregnant and I would have to wait until she had the baby….. she had redeemed herself by then!
Knox always wanted a family. He basically had one with Ivan, Cain and Gabby. The he finds out that he got Jade pregnant! But just as soon as he starts to dream of this new family, it is basically ripped away because Jade doesn’t think that he will ever be on the right side of the law, and not good for their baby. Right about that time Ivan and Cain both move out and move on with the women they love and are planning their lives with! So now he feels like he has no one (Like I said…. the man was breaking my heart). Eventually Jade gets her head out of her ass and sees that he really is trying to be better for them! I cried real tears and felt serious excitement through out this whole book. The Out of the Cage series has been great as a whole. I love how all of these men came from some very messed up backgrounds but over came the crappy life that was given to them! Lane has, once again, done a fantastic job of telling stories with all the feels!!!
Knox by Lane Hart a five-star read worth fighting for. This is the third and final book in the Out of The Cage series and I am sad to see the boys go, but wow it looks like the are going with a bang, I would whole heartedly recommend you read them all I order, Cain, Ivan and then Knox as each novel reveals another part of the story, building the bonds and characters.
I will say I haven’t always been Knox’s biggest fan but the more I get to see his story the more he fills up my heart. I get his reasons behind hid actions and as you read his story be warned you will need tissues and time. This dropped to my kindle just as I was settling into bed and I had to finish it before I started to sleep, I couldn’t let Knox go and his relationship with Detective Jade Horton just went wild, the have more ups and downs and complications in their short relationship that most face in a life time. But how will their eggs come up? Sunny side? Scrambled? Or over fertilised?
This is filed with passion and drama and the heat level is hotter than the surface of the sun!! Lane Hart writes a good hot steamy scene but she also writes so much more.
Bring on the Savage Kings, I can’t wait to find out what stories they will come with, and I can only hope that we get a cameo from Knox and Jade. Thank you Lane Hart for being an amazing writer with talent that seems to pour through your fingers.
Wow…. another amazing Lane Hart read!!! I couldn’t help but dive in and devour this book in a day because it captured my attention from beginning to end. Knox and Jade’s chemistry is off the charts explosive but trying to form a relationship is a struggle because of trust and abandonment issues. There are some twists and turns that will surprise you but the peak into the new book world of the MC will definitely excite you. I highly recommend the Out of the Cage series but you’ll definitely want to read the first two books which are just as amazing as this one!
I’ll admit that this book was bittersweet for me. I was chomping at the bit to read Knox’s story, but knowing it would complete the series, I dreaded saying goodbye to these characters that I’ve grown so attached to. In this one, we get the answers to Knox and Jade and everything that happened off page in the last book as well as the history that made Knox the man he is today. I did have a little trouble getting behind the romance here and wasn’t crazy about Jade as we learn her motivations, but the chemistry between this pair is undeniable and as the story progresses, it all comes together. Knox may not have faced the tragedy in his past that the others did, but that feeling of being unwanted shapes him in ways that certainly tug at the heartstrings. This series has been about so much more than the affects of being sucked into the criminal underworld of crime families. Cain, Ivan, and Knox are their own type of family, one born of necessity and survival. These misfits may not always do what is legal or right, but their actions are guided by a fierce loyalty to each other and I couldn’t help but fall a little in love with them. Knox completes the series wonderfully and hints at a possible new series have this reader ready to see what’s next.
Having already read the first two books in this series, Cain and Ivan, I was already familiar with Knox and Jade. However, reading their story gave a whole new perspective to the couple. Knox is a misunderstood, brooding bad boy and Jade is a detective that shouldn’t be drawn to him. I love these characters and am sad to see the trilogy come to an end. The writing is real and gritty befitting the rough and tumble mafia fighters that the leading men are. I think Knox is my favorite though.
Knox’s story is a fantastic conclusion to the Out Of The Cage series and I absolutely loved it.
Knox has always intrigued me from his appearances in the previous books and I was desperate to find out more about him. From first impressions you’d see a cocky, confident, hot as hell fighter but there’s another side to Knox. He’s not the ladies man you would assume he is and he’s definitely carrying baggage from his past that’s affecting his relationships now. As he grows closer to Jade, the full effect of his abandonment issues are very easy to see.
Jade has always wanted to be in the police force and she’s determined to make a career for herself. When her job brings Knox into her life she has no idea how much he’s going to shake things up for her. With an instant attraction between them it’s not long before Jades risking more than just her job but her career aswell. I loved Jade from the start. Yes she annoyed me with some of her actions but I could see her way of thinking.
Jade and Knox are great together. A cop and a bad boy that dances on the line between good and bad, that have a chemistry between them that’s super hot and a story that kept me hooked, Knox’s story was everything I hoped it would be.
This is the final and last book in this series and I’m sad to see it end. Knox is such an amazing character and I’m so happy he got his happy ending. It’s definitely a great way to end the series. It was emotional, sweet, romantic and more. Well written and keeps you intrigued from the very beginning. Knox is probably my new favorite. Love this book.
What an awesome conclusion to the series!!!
Knox was born unwanted. He’s never had anyone to hold him or love him. As a result he lives with a hole in his chest that nothing will ever be able to fill. The only time or place he finds any satisfaction is when he’s in the ring. When Jade comes into his life as much as he desires her and wants her for himself, he realizes that she’s simply using him to further her investigation into a murder.
Blackmailed and sexually harassed into having sex with the Chief of Police, in order to gain a promotion that she has worked so hard for, Jade is determined to break open the current mafia case so she can move elsewhere. The men in her life have used her selfishly and cruelly and as a result she finds herself turning the tables on Knox to gain the information she needs. Ironically, the very actions she uses against him, works against herself as she quickly falls into desire with the very man she absolutely should not be crossing lines with.
Knox and Jade’s story pretty much runs concurrently with the previous two books of the series, Cain and Ivan. The beginning between these two was fast and a bit shocking as Jade makes some decisions that definitely cross professional conduct. As their story progresses, outside forces continue to push one or the other – usually Knox – into taking some action that puts distance or stumbling blocks between these characters. I wondered how they would ever be able to overcome the obstacles before them and find their happy ever after.
This is a fast paced read with an amazing amount of steamy goodness. I’ve enjoyed every one of these books and I am sorry to see them go but I’m stoked to learn that the author is beginning a new series revolving around a motorcycle club! I don’t mean to be greedy…but I can’t wait!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
