Beck
I’m a gifted surgeon, a playboy who can have anyone I want with a click of my fingers. I get to play out whatever fantasy I want with whomever I want at the club I own with my best friends.
My life is perfect, so why do I feel like there’s something missing?

Then she walks back into my life, and I realize how hollow it all is. Amelia is my best friend, my anchor, the girl who knows all my secrets except the one I guard the most. She’s the love of my life, but I’ll never risk our friendship by telling her.

Only now she’s in his arms, the man who turns my blood to fire, my body to liquid lust. Xander makes me want things that are impossible and everything is messy in a way I never expected.
I love her.
I want him.
Can I risk it all for the two people I know I should stay away from or do I walk away from everything I’ve ever wanted?


Amelia
Beck is my best friend, the man who knows my every secret, except this one. I have loved him my entire life but he refuses to see me as anything other than his childhood best friend and I’m done running from my heartbreak. I need to move on.

Then I meet Xander, Hollywood’s golden star and he sees me, introducing me to passion like I’ve never known. He makes me happy in a way I never expected, but Beck is always there tempting me the chemistry between us is fire if only he’d acknowledge it.

Then I see the looks, the burning glances between the two men in my life.
It makes me wonder can I have them both. As passions and desires are unleashed things get messy in a way none of us expected.
I love them both.
I want them both.

Can have everything I ever wanted or will these two men, who have so many secrets, destroy us all?

    L Knight's 3rd book The Unexpected from the Kings of Ruin, is a hot steamy romance between Beck, Amelia, and Xander. Navigating a throple, brings up some fears from each of them on where they fit in in the relationship. Love is always worth the risk and these three show each other their commitment in a world that doesn't always approve of unique love. I can't wait for the next book, and hope there will be an additional book for Audrey- the Queen of Ruin and her perhaps love to hate relationship with Hudson in the future.

    The title lays it out for you.
    This story follows several characters but the 3 main ones, Ameilia, her long time bff Beck and actor Xander. We all know men and eomen cannot be best friends especially from a young age and not have feelings for each other. Their story hooked me from the prologue. But then comes Xander like a raging storm who has connections to Beck that will tie them together mind, body and soul.
    This trope is not for everyone as it focuses on 3 people as a throuple and there are scenes of MM and MMF relations. The spice was spicing for sure.
    It was a cute story but it was just that. Nothing to change my life.

    Fabulous story.
    The story includes Bisexual men and best friends to lovers.

    There is angst, friendships with all the club Ruin friends and their significant others.
    We get a glimpse into the future of not only the main characters but others also.
    If you haven't read the stories from the beginning you will be a little lost to some of the dynamics.

    Amelia, a physics whiz, leaves without saying goodbye when Beck, her best friend, breaks her heart after graduation and on her return to their friend circle finds herself attracted to Xander, a movie star, as well as still carrying a torch for Beck after being gone for years. As the story progresses a war of alphas begins, they start a relationship that makes their heads spin, and if they do not face things together it could come to a time where nobody wins. The unexpected was unexpectedly sweet on romance but full of enough steam to satisfy any craving.

    I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

    After the consequence I was kind of stunted about whether I was going too read this or not but now I'm soooo happy I did.
    This book deserves more stars lol it was easy too read it flowed really the storyline was so cute and spicy
    The spice was so good without making it the whole of their relationship I truly loved this story and also again love how the author entwines all the characters in the story without too much confusion between whose who in which book.
    And gives us a lil nugget of intrigue as too how the next book might go.
    Not too much to put you off but just enough.

    Beck and Amelia have been friends since childhood. Both of them are so in love with each other but are scared to lose the friendship by admitting it, even though everyone else can see it. It takes bringing Xander into the mix to complete them.
    All is not perfect though. My heart breaks for them all when they go through the test of their love to come out on the other days.

    I couldn't wait to find out Beck's story, and it absolutely did not disappoint!!

    Beck and his bff Amelia have danced around their attraction to each other for years but Beck will not cross that line because he values their friendship and refuses to risk losing Amelia, but their is only so much one girl can take.

    So now we have Player 2 Xander, who is attracted to not only Amelia but also Beck, and things just got a whole lot more interesting.

    This book is nothing short of perfection!! The relationship between Beck and Amelia is special, but Xander completes them in a way that neither of them expected.

    This book deals with so many big themes, and L.Knight does it in the most wonderful way. Every time I read one of these books, I think I have found my favourite couple, but honestly, this full group is just amazing. Can't wait to see what we have in store for Ryker.

    100% recommend the book Author and series Kings of Ruin.

    I loved this book I am not normally a fan of MFM sernario but the way this was written had me riveted to the book. Loved all three characters and the problems they had with the relationship. Loved how it jumped forward to when she had children and personally I think she had one child for each of them. ❤️
