My favorite of the series. You need to read this book. I love Bradley and Cassie.
4 1/2
I really liked Brad and Cassie’s story. It had a little bit of everything. Tragedy, life struggles, steaminess and love. The main point in their story was how to choose between the only family you have left and doing the right thing. It was something a little different and I liked that.
Well written and great addition the the Saddles & Racks series
I love this series and this latest book was everything I was hoping for. Brad and Cassie are perfect characters and their journey is captivating. This book has it all, depth, angst, hurt, friendship, romance love and emotion. Brad and Cassie story will take you on the most heat felt emotional rollercoaster. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.
Another fabulous installment of the Saddles and Rack series. Gin and Jewels is Book 5 in the series and had me hooked immediately.
Brad and Cassie were great characters they were as different as chalk and cheese but that just made them perfect for each other.
Cassie hasn’t had a great life for the last few years, she’s had to grow up quickly and learn to take care of herself. When she meets Brad he’s just a customer in the casino she works in and has no idea their paths will cross again.
Brad works for Saddles and Racks as an escort. Whilst out with a client he finds himself in a situation that will cause him to re-evaluate what he really wants in life.
Such an emotional journey for Cassie but with Brad by her side she was able to rise though it all find the love she deserves and was no longer on her own.
A highly recommend read from Kimberly Knight.
(Each book in the Saddles and Rack series can be read as a standalone)
Another phenomenal addition to this series. This story just solidified my belief that fate does exist and that everyone comes into your life for a reason. My heart broke for Cassie in what she went through when she was a teenager and how she was treated by her actual family.
The Saddles and Racks “family” is absolutely fabulous and it’s amazing to witness their love for one another.
Thank you for this beautiful and touching book; it was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone.
Gin and Jewels is the first book by Kimberly Knight that I have read and I am now a fan! It is book five in her Saddles and Racks series but can be read as a standalone.
This book was a perfect combination of enjoyable characters and an engaging storyline that I know you will love. I loved the good slow burn and building relationship between Brad and Cassie. She was always struggling since the sudden death of her parents and her brother was no help. He was actually the cause of all stress in her life. Little did she know that her Prince Charming was so close until Brad entered her life. Fate put them in each other’s paths but something else was in play to show each of them what love truly looked like.
Brad ended up as an escort to help pay his mother’s bill when she became sick. Now he is free from having to worry about problems. Cassie hasn’t had an easy life and her brother treats her like dirt. I hated that she let him treat her that way. Brad always told Cassie the truth about his life and everything that goes with it. I loved how they were a great match for each other.
After getting out of the Marines, Brad joined the S & R escort family to pay off medical bills and have a good life for himself. He had never had a girlfriend so being the next of the Fallen.
Cassie has been thru a lot of traumatic experiences in her short life. She has pushed away all her friends to the point where she only has her brother and her job.
Can these two be more for each other?
Gin & Jewels is book five in the Saddles and Racks series. It can definitely be read as a standalone, even though a few characters show up but I felt like back stories were explained well.
Brad had always wanted to be a Marine and gave everything to that job but when his mother became sick with cancer he left to help take care of her. Medical bills were piling up so a friend suggested working as a male escort at Saddles & Racks.
Cassie lost her parents when she was 15, and has been forced to work ever since to pay the bills because of her brother’s cruel actions. Now six years later, Cassie is working at a jewelry store.
Brad & Cassie have an incredible relationship. Their friendship starts the something more to the slow burn.
When an incident occurs at Cassie’s workplace, both Cassie & Brad are irrevocably impacted.
This book is so good combining romance, angst, suspense, and a genuine connection between two people that really deserve to have happiness. An easy 1 click!!!

I want to start off by saying that I absolutely love this series and can’t wait to read the next! Cassie has a rough go at life after her parents pass away when she is a teenager. Her brother takes full advantage of her and continues to do so as she grows older. Brad is the all american hero and saves the day when Cassie is in danger at work and their love story begins there. The story is well written and I love the twists and turns. Definitely a page turner!
This is the first book by Kimberly Knight that I have read. Although this is book 5, it can be read as a standalone -although knowing the other characters from previous books would enhance the read. I will be going back and reading the other books. It was a quick easy read that kept you engaged and wanting to know what happens next.
I’m a little embarrassed to admit that this was my first book to read in the Saddles & Racks series. I knew I should’ve read the others before starting, but I didn’t. I don’t think it hurt the story for me, but I do plan to go back and read the others because I loved it!
Brad is a former Marine now working as an escort at Saddles & Racks. He’s adamant that he will not be the next in his group of friends to get married or tied down. While out with his buddies he meets Cassie. Cassie’s parents died when she was 15 & she’s been supporting herself and her brother ever since. A week or so after their initial meeting their paths cross again. But this time is life changing.
I absolutely adored both characters. And I loved the action/suspense part of the story. I enjoyed all the side characters, Brads friends, and can’t wait to go back and read their stories. I will definitely be telling everyone who will listen to read this series.
Gin & Jewels is my favorite book in the Saddles & Racks Series. The story was suspenseful, drama filled, and so very entertaining. The characters were amazing. I loved Brad, he’s kind, caring, and loving. Cassie is so sweet, and was just trying to survive. My gosh this girl pulled my heart strings. I wanted to pack her up and move her in. Together they were so perfect for eachother. I loved how the previous guys and gals are in the story too. They really are family to one another. Great story!
Don’t miss Bradley and Cassandra’s story.
Sweet Love Story!
This is an absolutely fantastic and very sweet love story. It was very entertaining with lots of suspense thrown in and little twists and turns throughout. The characters were lovable and relatable with a fantastic edge of your seat storyline. Bradley and Cassandra both grew up in heartbreak (some worse than others) but when they first meet you know right away these two were meant to be together. There is something about a woman so sweet and innocent coming together with a strong alpha male that pulls at your heartstrings.
I loved every second of this story and can’t wait to read more in this series. Highly recommend.
This was another solid offering a series. Brad was in the military but his mom got sick and in order to help pay her bills he starts working at Saddles and Racks. He meets Cassie one night at the casino where she worked. Cassie is offered a better job at a jewelry store. One day Brad comes in with a “friend”. The store gets robbed and people are hurt. One day Cassie ends up going missing. This is where the story really takes off. I really enjoyed reading the book with all the twists and turns! I can’t wait to see what comes next!
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done
Loved this story! This is a powerful tale of two people finding acquiescence within themselves and with one another. This is book 5 in the series of Saddles & Racks. This story had action, suspense, kidnapping, and drugs; but it was also entertaining, engaging, and had moments of heartbreak.
The story about Cassandra (Cassie) Davidson and Bradley (Brad) Rhodes is scintillating. Brad is very handsome and sexy, served in the Marine Corps for 10 years, then he became an escort at Saddles & Racks—that paid very well. When tragedy hits close to home, this put Cassie’s life in a tailspin while also dealing with brother issues. Cassie, 21 years old that is naïve and a virgin, acquired a job at a small casino as a cocktail waitress to pay the necessary bills. When Brad meets Cassie, he is enamored with her. One encounter is not enough—the heart wants what the heart wants, and without giving away any spoilers, emotions get very complicated. The chemistry between Brad and Cassie grows more potent the more times they spend together! There are so many intense elements to this story that you cannot highlight on just one. Wait until you read what happens and why someone was kidnapped and murdered—you will be flabbergasted and appalled. Kimberly Knight manages to weave plotlines centered on romantic ideas with artfully developed main characters. The storyline is fluid, and the characters are extremely well developed. You won’t regret reading Gin & Jewels!
I can’t even with Kimberly Knight right now. Every time I think that she has outdone herself she outdoes herself again but more!! Gin & Jewels is my favorite. Oh I’ve said that about ever of S&R book? Well then…haha But for real, this book was full of so much everything from heartbreak to strength to lust to angst and back again over and over. I loved this book from the moment I opened it up and began reading. <3
I loved this book! It was a little bit different from the rest of the series, but it was just as good. I read 60% of the book in one sitting, and the rest the very next day. It was that engrossing for me. I felt so much for Cassie because of all she’d been through in just a few short years of her life. I loved that Brad finally came around and accepted he was the next to become one of “The fallen”, it just had to be the right girl. Because sometimes all it takes is Fate stepping in, and you never know how or when that will happen.
Gin & Jewels is book 5 in the Saddles and Racks series by Kimberly Knight. This is Brad and Cassie’s story and it is full of action, suspense and of course romance. I love this series and this author. She never disappoints. Each book in this series I think is my favorite until I read the next. I highly recommend this book and this series!!
