4 Taco Loving Stars!!!!
This was my first Nikki Ash book, but I loved it so much I am on a mission to read the rest of them!!!!! This was one of those books where I just took a chance based on a FB post and I am so glad I did! I think I have found another author to stalk, I mean fan girl over lol…
Griffin had me at hello!!! I mean, he is a single dad who loves his little boy, and his main goal in life is to give his son the best life he can. I mean are you swooning yet?! He had no intention on settling down, until fate quite literally throws Ava in front of his face and boom, it’s on! Ava was a sweet girl who had been burned one too many times so she certainly doesn’t make it easy for Griffin, but that’s okay because he is all about the challenge.
This was a great story with a little angst about two people finding their way to each other. Throw in an adorable little boy and happy dog and you can’t help but smile all the way through. I loved it!
Knocked Down
By Nikki Ash
This book was just WOW!!! You will fall in love with these characters and be OMG I need more of this fun loving single dad Griffin now. You will laugh out loud and may even laugh until you cry but be prepared you will be craving Taco after reading this one.
Griffin and his son Levi are moving into a new apartment when they meet the new neighbor Ava and her dog. Levi falls in love with the dog immediately and Griffin needs to get to know more about Ava, they both feel the immediate chemistry, but Ava is fighting it because she has been hurt before. I loved how important family was in this book as well and that they all end up getting involved throughout the story. There are also some life lessons that will bring you to tears but make this story even more special.
Will Griffin win over Ava and can they all become one big happy family? Read this one now to see.
Nikki can really make you fall in love with her characters. This is the first book I have read of hers and it made me buy all of the rest of her books. If you love tacos and hot guys, buy this now!
I loved this book. The chemitry between Ava and griffin is off the charts. Levi is so cute and I was happy to see all of my fav characters back.
What a fabulous book about a single dad. This book had me completely hooked with all the characters and their personalities, the banter, the humor, the feels and most definitely the heat. I found myself so easily relating to all the feels of everyone in the story and I loved every page of this read.
Nikki Ash did it again. Nate and Ava’s story is so fun and heart tugging. From how far he’s come to her spunky personality. Definitely one I’ll read again and again.
4.5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. It had me right from the beginning and it’s one I was sad to see end. Ava and Griffin were great together and had a ton of chemistry. Griffin just has to break down the walls Ava has put around her heart. One of the things I enjoyed so much was the humor that I got with my heat and heart. I found myself chuckling along with the book a lot. The last chapter was so beautiful and to me was the perfect touch to end this one on. I know this book was a winner because this left my heart happy sighing. This is one you definitely want to read.
I love single dad romances and Griffin and Ava did not disappoint. Throw in Griffin adorable son Levi and you’ll smile the entire book.
What I enjoyed most about this book was that they weren’t any crazy exes taking up space in this beautiful story. Griffin never let anyone close to his son but his new neighbor Ava has him doing otherwise. Ava has trust issues because of her previous relationships but this single dad and his adorable son are breaking down her walls.
They started out as friends but when they started feeling things for each other Griffin wasted no time showing her exactly what she meant to him. They were some really funny moments that will have you laughing and some sad moments with real life problems that will make you tears eyed for a bit.
Griffin brother and his wife were constant figures in this family and they added to the charm. This was a very cute read in which I enjoyed the ending.
Let’s Taco bout a great Taco Tuesday release! I loved this story. The main characters were super sweet and funny as can be. Griffin is a single dad that is tired of playing the field. He happens to move in to an apartment right next door to a hot as sin Latina. Let the fun and games begin….
I read this one so fast! As soon as I got it I stayed up late to read it all. I just loved the chemistry between Ava and Griffin. Ava and her taco loving shirts is definitely a favorite part of this book. Now that I have kids I love to read books about characters who would do anything for their children and Griffin with his son is perfect! Having Ava also fall in love with Levi is just what any parent would want. I have so many favorite Nikki Ash books and this is in the top. She knows just how to hit you with emotions.
I can’t taco about this book enough!
This was another amazing book by Nikki! She’s definitely an author I one-click automatically.
Definitely pick this one up! <3
This is my first Nikki Ash book. Knocked Down was a cute, funny and sexy read about a single father finding the one. Griffin and Ava are neighbors and immediately become friends. Ava has trust issues when it come to men and Griffin hasn’t wanted to settle down since he became a single father. Griffin’s son Levi is so cute, funny and loves Ava’s dog Maverick. These two have their ups and downs. I did want to slap some sense into Ava but once she comes around it all clicks. This book definitely has some emotional moments and smokin’ hot scenes. The secondary characters really fit in this book and didn’t over power the MCs. I’ll be picking up more of Nikki’s book.
Griffin is now raising his son and getting on his feet now that the bar is in the black. He wasn’t ready for the hot neighbor who has trust issues. What follows is a slow dance between the two while he says yes and she says no way. Trust isn’t easily earned and for these two this author gave them no breaks. When the past can’t be let go of it’s hard to move to the future. Griffin in for the fight of his life, he just has to figure out if it’s worth the battle.
This author just does it right. While Bella’s story was hard and emotional, Griffin has a different kind of battle. Her stories may have characters in common but each story is a standalone and is completely unique. How she continues to do it amazes me but is completely to my benefit.
his is my first book by Nikki Ash. I have a few in my kindle but haven’t had the chance to read them yet.
I really liked it. It was fun, cute, sexy.
Griffin is a single dad… and if you know me at all, you know I’m all about the single parent romances!
I wish there had been a little more of the emotional relationship. There was quite a bit of sexy time which is always nice but I would’ve liked a little more building of the emotional side of things.
I can’t wait to read more from this author!
Is there a book for Sean and Lilly? I need more of them!!
Griffin and Ava was such a great love story. I thought it was a great book, realistic and just a good love story. The chemistry was hot and sexy. Really liked.
Knocked Down is an amazing read that hooked me from the very beginning and had me laughing out loud, swooning and wanting tacos all at once.
The moment Ava comes crashing into Griffin’s life his world is turned upside down and sparks fly. I absolutely loved Ava and Griffin! Both have trust issues but the connection between them can’t be denied. Griffin’s focus has always been his son and giving him the best life possible but his quirky and intriguing neighbor soon has him realizing that maybe he’s missing out on something else. Ava is one of my favorite heroines. She’s feisty, independent, kind hearted, smart and hilarious. The bond that quickly formed between Ava and Griffin’s son, Levi, was heartwarming to watch develop. Poor Ava had no chance of resisting these two no matter how hard she tried!
Knocked Down is a fantastic read that reminds me why I love single dad books. The characters are phenomenal and will steal your heart and you’ll be absolutely ok with it. If you love books that tug at your heart, give you all the feels and leave you with a huge smile on your face then Knocked Out is a definite must read!
Another amazing story! This author never lets me down.
OH MY GODDDDDD! Another great book from one of my favorite authors and I always devour her books with happiness. Knocked Down was no exception. You will be smitten with this book and the amazing characters. You will laugh out loud, hurt, laugh and laugh some more and fall head over heels in love with Griffin, Ava and Levi!! If you’re a fan of smoking hot and sexy single dads who do everything for their kids but happens to feel like he’s not content with his life and mix it with an adorable accent, feisty and amazing book cover designer wearing a taco-loving t-shirt…You’ll devour this book in one sitting!!! I finished it with a massive grin on my face. This book is a definite MUST READ!!!
Nikki Ash! what can I say about you as a writer that I haven’t yet said?
This was an amazing book. You start off laughing your ass off right from the first page. Ava is an amazing, beautiful, independent, vulnerable, funny, sensitive, strong and kick ass character that you just have to love right off the bat.
Griffin, damn… It’s hot in here or what?!!! He is fire, sexiness at its finest, strong, sensitive, hardheaded, such an amazing father, brother, brother-in-law and boss.
These 2 characters have been through quit the storm that it was inevitable that they had to end up together. I began reading chapter 1 and I was already rooting for them.
Levi, oh sweet Levi! That little boy took my heart right from the first words that came out of his mouth. he was such a sweet heart and such a happy child that you just knew that Griffin was definitely the reason why he was such a happy child.
I have never laughed so damn hard in Nikki’s books, but this one I nearly died of laughter. I will never be able to keep a straight face when a child asks to play swords! I know you’re probably thinking what am I talking about, pick up Knocked Down and find out. this book is a guarantee 5 stars and so worth no sleep to read it in one sitting.
Nikki Ash, thank you for yet another amazing story that made me laugh, hold my breath and smile from ear to ear.
This was a great read.
