What a cracking romance this is, full of suspense and action from the very first page.
I’ve recently just discovered Maddie Wade’s books and was intrigued to read this one co-authored by India Kells and it was a humdinger of a read.
I slipped up, I should have read Deadly Alliance first, I believe, saying that it didn’t spoil my enjoyment reading the books out of order. I’m a huge fan of Maddie’s Fortis Security books which are based in my home town, well, mostly anyway. lol
Kingsley Knight is in the lead role, his mission is to find Sydney Rutherford, who has been kidnapped.
Sydney has issues, mainly with trusting men after a relative has treated her badly in the past. Kingsley does his best to reassure her and win her over as he carries her to safety. But someone is standing in their way.
A tense read at times and I can honestly say I finished this book in two sittings, absolutely brilliant.
Suspenseful and a great camaraderie between the team which I can tell is going to go from strength to strength.
Go on, give it a read.
This book is captivating and engrossing; one you won’t want to put down. From the very beginning you feel the camaraderie of the team and the chemistry between Kingsley and Syd. The plot is spiced up by the threat that is chasing them and the trauma that both are coming to terms with. It’s fun to see the evil plot of a calculated mad man fall apart and be thwarted by love and a family made by choice rather than blood.
King is a sexy brit who was once a military man, has come to the states to join a group of specialists in a security agency. From the beginning, he gives off this great strength that makes you believe he’ll do just what he says. Whether its a vow to protect, a promise to make someone pay or a simple bit of humor, he stands by everything he says and does. He’s strong, alpha, fierce but surprisingly gentle to those who need that. He’s tall, dark, and dangerous!
Sydney is a young woman who has been dealt a brutal blow in a short period of time. She’s fought to be a strong, independent, fierce and fiery woman who has her life together. Not only did she survive a trauma at the hands of someone who should have protected her, but she also finds out that moments from her past hold a lot more information than she thought. She’s survived a lot, and she’s going to show what a fighter she is. Super determined, brave, smart and with a fiery spirit she’ll prove she’s got more grit to her than anyone.
Together they have a common goal, to end things once and for all. Through their battle though, they’ll discover more about each other and themselves to boot. Their story turns into a love story that has you cheering them on and wanting more. I commend the authors for their approach and handling of sensitive topics. Such a good book!

Knight Watch is the first book in the An Alliance Agency series by Maddie Wade and India Kells. I love both of these authors separately and now they teamed up to write this novel. Wade and Kells have the story filled with mystery and romance at the same time. There was a content warning which I placed first in this review. I have to say that I am very sensitive to this subject matter but the way Wade and Kells told the story was tasteful and respectful. This story is about Kinsley Knight is in America and is put in charge of his first case. Sydney Rutherford had been assaulted in her past and her past is coming back to haunt her more now than ever. Knight and Rutherford are at odds until Rutherford realizes she is in good hands with Knight. Will Knight be able to keep Rutherford safe? With Rutherford be able to trust Knight to safe her future? I cannot wait to see what Wade and Kells has in store for us next.
This story has it all. Adventure, bad guys, strong men and women, romance. I don’t know how two authors can write together to make such a seamless story flow so well, but Wade and Kells have no problem doing that with this series! I really enjoyed reading this story and look forward to reading more from these authors!
I love the characters. I love the story line, the plot twists, and the overall adventure. I love the tension between the secondary characters. And I love the dirty romance.
This book is sure to be on my list of favorites! You should really go check it out!
Knight Watch (An Alliance Agency Novel Book 1) by Maddie Wade & India Kells
5 ++++ Stars
I am so loving two of my favorite authors ever teaming up in this series…I especially love since they are both so awesome that the stories flow so smooth, you can not tell there are two authors writing this book.
I love this new Alliance and the people are all fresh and complicated, and awesome, and troubled, and amazing and I can’t wait to read about each one of them.
Kingsley and Sydney were everything each other needed even if they had no idea, Sydney’s past was horrible and it just would not leave her alone. Kingsley gets to head up the Alliance Agency’s first case and must save the niece of a rich and powerful man who is being held for ransom …but further investigation into the whole story brings to light some things that don’t make a lot of sense. I loved the first meeting between Kingsley and Sydney and I fell for him so quick with how he did everything he could to prove to her that she could trust him.
This is going to be an amazing series and I already feel like im completely invested in this group, I can not wait for the next one and all those to come after.
Highly recommend!!
Knight Watch (An Alliance Agency Novel Book 1) by India Kells and Maddie Wade was the perfect way to start this crossover series.
Kingsley sounds like my dream man, tall, dark, handsome, bearded and British. How could you not fall in love with those traits, then add in the alpha male, hero and there is all sorts of swooning.
Sydney has experienced more loss and tragedy than one person as young as she is has. She still has residual effects from the events of her past but I don’t think she allowed them to define her which makes her a hero in her own right.
I’m looking forward to keeping up with everyone at Alliance and follow along on their adventures and jobs.
Kingsley Knight has moved from the UK to the US to become an agent in the newly formed Alliance Agency. He is assigned as the lead investigator on their first case, to rescue Sydney Rutherford, the missing niece of a powerful businessman. When Kingsley and Sydney meet, you can definitely feel the sparks fly between the two. But as they find out that things aren’t quite what they seem to be, will they survive the dangers and be able to figure out what is going on between them? Can Kingsley keep Sydney safe when his personal feelings get involved?
This is an intense, action packed, suspenseful story that you won’t want to put down! These two authors together are quickly becoming favorites of mine. I easily connected with these characters and quickly became emotionally involved with all of them. I am looking forward to what comes next in this exceptional series!
Knight Watch was a great 5 star read and book one in the An Alliance Agency series.
Once I started I couldn’t put it down. This is Kingsley and Sydney’s story.
Kingsley is now in America working with the Alliance Agency. When he gets his first kidnapping case, he has to find Sydney Rutherford.
Sydney suffers from PTSD from a rape by someone close to her. When she is kidnapped, things from her past start to resurface. When she meets Kinglsey there is something about him that makes her feel like she can trust him. The chemistry these two have is off the charts.
Will he be able to keep her safe?
There is so much more to this great read, I don’t want to give away anything.
There are twists and turns that will throw you off. All of the secondary characters were great.
We get suspense, danger and so much more. My emotions were all over the place and I will warn there is a scene that may cause triggers for some. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today.
Knight Watch by Maddie Wade and India Kells is the first book in the new series An Alliance Agency Novel. The story does not disappoint. It is full of action, suspense, with some romance thrown in. I always am leary when two authors join up for a book because at times it can get disjointed and you can see where one picks up and the other ends. These two authors work well together and the story is seamless. I have enjoyed other books by both of them in the past and was excited to see them working together again. The characters are well written and have some depth to them which allows the story to develop. I enjoyed learning about Kingsley Knight and Sydney Rutherford. They made a good pair in various ways. I look forward to more in this series and from each of these authors individually.
Knight Watch (An Alliance Agency Novel Book 1) by Maddie Wade & India Kells
5 stars
This is book 1 of this series, but i would recommend reading the prequel, Deadly Alliance, to get familiar with some of the characters in this book but it’s not required to follow this story.
We follow Kingsley Knight or as he prefers, just Knight, and Sydney.
We are taken for quite the ride through all the twists and turns in this amazing story. As with both of these authors, I knew I’d not be getting anything done until I hit the end and sorry kids but cereal for dinner counts as a meal.
I felt for Sydney and the trauma she carried through life and all she went through in the years to come.
I cannot wait for more in this series as I know they’ll be amazing.
Knight Watch
An Alliance Agency Novel
Book 1
By Maddie Wade
& India Kells
Outstanding full length novel. Suspenseful romance that will keep you reading. Not for those under 18. Due to violence and adult content.
Sydney Rutherford is in over her head. She is on the run from her Uncle. Her parents are both dead. Her only family, is the very one that is trying to kill her. With nobody to help her, she must be smarter than her Uncle. Having no one to help her, she runs into her Knight. Kingsley Knight from the Alliance Agency. Is he the one to rescue her? Can they get the information needed to save them both?
Maddie Wade and India Kells has written a high action novel. The first couple of chapters will start the uphill roller coaster. Then hang on because the action will not stop until you read, THE END! I fell in love with Sydney and Kingsley. Sydney is a strong woman, that does not wait to be rescued. She does what needs to be done. You can bet I will be waiting for the next installment. Thanks for the adventure Ladies!!!
KNIGHT WATCH is the first book in a brand new series called “Alliance Agency”. The Alliance Agency is a spinoff series from 2 previous series written by these authors. It can absolutely be read as a stand-alone as the first chapter fully explains who everyone is and where they come from. If you don’t catch on in the first few pages, it’s ok – stick with the story because it’s really, really good.
I read this story in one sitting and devoured every word. There is only 1 open door sex scene (ummm maybe there are 2) and little to no curse words. The story is quick and generally full of action. While I guessed some of the outcome, I did not guess the entire plot which kept me on my toes.
There is great world building with setting and secondary characters and while it is all being set up, it never took away from the main story line. The writing was detailed and didn’t have any filler in it. It was co-written seamlessly.
I look forward to continuing with this series and seeing how everyone else’s story fleshes out.
Knight Watch is the first book in a new suspense romance by two authors that are still a little new to me. What happens when Sydney’s past comes back into her life and the new handsome agent from Alliance Agency needs to protect her?
India Kells and Maddie Wade have introduced us to some great characters and a world that will have you on the edge of your seat. I cant wait to see what they will bring next in this series. Highly recommend these authors.
Knight Watch is the opening of India Kells and Maddie Wade’s Alliance Agency series which a spin-off of their other series. I have already learnt that any time something new drops on my radar that has their names on, I need to get it AND I have never ever been disappointed! The series was introduced by the crossover novel Deadly Alliance so I was very much looking forward to getting my hands on the first case!
Knight Watch gives us an ex bomb tech Kingsley Knight from the UK who has found a new home with the agency in the US and he is part of the team that has been hired to find Sydney Rutherford who is in a fight for her survival as her traumatic past has finally caught up with her! The writers give us suspense and danger, despair and angst, camaraderie and of course chemistry and sparks that light up the darkness! You will get sucked in and after you are done with the book you are left floundering until the next one comes out! Welcome into the fold!
Knight Watch by Maddie Wade & India Kells a four-star read that will save you. This is number one in an Alliance Agency Novel series and this one shows us great promise for the series, the characters are deep and complex and bounce off each other well. Sydney was by far the strongest woman in this story even if she may not feel it at times, after everything she has been through in the past, (this may be a trigger warning for some, but the authors do give clear warnings and well done on that) and now being kidnapped, this could be enough to break many, and who knows if it will break Sydney, you need to read the story to find out. Will Sydney find more strength in the love that Kingsley will bring for her, love that he cant avoid.

I loved the characters and setting of this novel. Sydney was brave, fearless, and strong. I don’t think I could have handled the things she dealt with in this story. Kingsley was charming, handsome, and a gentleman. He was every readers fantasy guy. I found myself carried away by this story. It was so good and I highly recommend it!

Knight Watch is the first novel in the Alliance Agency series by 2 of my favourite authors India Kells and Maddie Wade. It follows on from the prequel Deadly Alliance where Emme from Maddie Wade’s Fortis Security joined forces with Shane from India Kells Purgatory team to create the Alliance Agency.
In this book they are given their first job, finding Sydney Rutherford, the niece of a prominent businessman, who has been kidnapped. Brit Kingsley Knight is put in charge of the mission and it soon becomes clear that there is so much more to this story than they originally thought.
This story gripped me straight from the first page and didn’t let me go, as I would expect from these 2 authors. On their own they both devise amazing characters and storylines, however together, this is taken to a whole new level. The storyline is fast paced, flows very well and has many twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. It is full of danger, suspense and intrigue and you won’t want to put it down.
One thing I particularly loved is the growing camaraderie and bond between the members of the team. There is such a wide difference among the characters and yet they work so well as a team. I’m really looking forward to getting to know the other members of the team on a closer level.
I have come to love when 2 great authors team up to write a story together. Knight Watch is very well written, action packed, has suspenseful moments and may have you sitting on the edge of your seat at times. You’ll definitely be turning the pages to find out what happens and won’t want to stop reading until you reach the end.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
