S.E.X. Review~ Copping an Attitude by Morticia Knight

Vegas is filled with human cast-offs, yet officer Parker McLean sees something special in hustler Slade Wolfgang. Unfortunately, so does Slade’s pimp who wants to sell him overseas in the sex trade.

Hustler Slade Wolfgang has little choice over his fate. At the age of twenty, he’s had to survive any way he can since being thrown out of his home for being gay. As soon as he hit Vegas, Slade was lured into the hopeless world of prostitution where he’s become a virtual prisoner to his pimp, the ruthless Julio Estevez. His evil keeper has even threatened to sell Slade overseas as a sex slave.

It’s another typical night on the Strip when Parker comes across Slade. His heart breaks every time he sees someone so young being exploited. Something in Slade’s eyes tells Parker the young man might be in real trouble though—especially after the recent spate of sex worker killings from a rival prostitution ring.

The two men’s lives become intertwined when Slade is almost beaten to death. The danger grows, but so does the relationship between Parker and Slade. Parker helps Slade to heal from the horrific attack and their bond deepens. But the human traffickers are still out there - and they’re still looking for Slade.



Sexy and Dark~ Words that I wouldn’t normally put together, but after reading Copping an Attitude by Morticia Knight my mind and emotions are still in a jumble. Ms. Knight left me bereft and enamored with Lonnie and Parker. Parker, a Las Vegas police officer who assisted a young hustler caught in a web of sex slave trafficking. Slade, (real name Lonnie) was at rock bottom, and he thought it was only because he hustled. Little did he know his the meth-head pimp planned to sell him to the highest bidder and ship him across the pond. Lucky for Slade~ Parker saw a good soul and fell fast for the young man.

There were so many things I loved about this book. First, even though Parker fell fast and furious for young Slade, I never felt as if the romance was rushed or insta-loved. Ms. Knight wrote with such emotion that the budding relationship blossomed into a beautiful love affair.

A darker edge than Ms. Knight’s usual style immediately captured my attention as she brought the seedier side of the Las Vegas strip to life. I was transported to the strip where I envisioned every hustle, pimp or police bust. Her attention to detail always makes this reader come back for more.

Morticia Knight delivered grit and grime, spun her magic web and created a story of second chances and unconditional love.

S.E.X. Review~ All Fired Up by Morticia Knight

Officer Shawn Everly patrols the Strip. Fireman Trent Marshall saves him when danger strikes. But it’s uncertain whether Trent can save himself from getting his heart broken by Shawn.

The party never ends on the Las Vegas strip, but neither does the danger. Officer Everly is new to the beat, having recently relocated to Vegas from Los Angeles. Foot patrol on The Strip is a demanding assignment because he’s up close and personal with the public. But what he’d really like to do is get up close and personal with Station 32’s hunky fireman, Trent Marshall.

Trent has been a fireman for over ten years and is dedicated to his job. He’s built tough and is a no-nonsense man of few words. At a local blood drive, Trent meets the handsome new officer on foot patrol, but won’t let himself get too close. He’s lost love before when his policeman lover was killed in the line of fire.

During an emergency, Trent’s over-protective instincts kick in when he believes Shawn is in harm’s way. He ends up embarrassing and angering Shawn in front of their fellow officers, which seems as though it will end any hope of Trent having a chance with the young man he can’t push from his mind.

Shawn can’t decide whether he wants to punch or kiss Trent. Kissing wins. Once they spend some time together away from the stresses of their jobs, they find that they’re not just compatible—they’re combustible.

But Trent can’t seem to accept that there are hazards that come with working in law enforcement. Right as they’re discovering how much they mean to one another, the danger escalates on The Strip. The underground vigilante group, The Citizens Against Immorality, have raised the stakes. Will Shawn and Trent be their next targets?




Morticia Knight has a new series, Sin City Uniforms and the first book All Fired Up, set my e-reader aflame and my heart pitter patter. A sexy police officer and an alpha fireman~ what more could any reader ask for?

Ms. Knight hit the mark as Trent and Shawn continuously encounter each other at the same crime scenes, only to have firefighter Trent alpha-out on Shawn. Embarrassment aside, Shawn was willing to forge a relationship with Trent and let the chips fall where they may.

All Fired Up dove into insecurities and difficulties of the job, when the main characters were both first responders. Trent had his own demons to tackle, and lucky for him Shawn was willing to give him the space to figure out his priorities.

Ms. Knight never fails to deliver a wonderfully written story, whether it’s historical or contemporary, her books should not be missed.
