His Knight by Charity Parkerson
Tumblr media
Series: Shining Armor, #1 Read time: 2 Days Rating: 3/5 Stars
The Quote: “This is Benjamin Lee. Please don’t shoot me. I’m already having a really shitty day.” — Benny
I don't know what to make of the end of this. It loses down to 3 stars due to the ending. It's so controlling and manipulative. There is a scene that runs dangerously close to being a form of rape. If you are a fan of Asian drama it is kinda close of TorFight in Why RU? (especially when watched with one particular set of subs). The plot is okay. But I feel there are some moments of serious hero complex. I'm just conflicted, or I was until I started writing (I really dislike it). As such, quick review I hope.
I do like the characters. Benjamin "Benny" Lee is just sweet, his insecurity and isolation leanings are backed by his history and just seem right. Wyatt Knight is a typical high-end police, loyal, strong and fierce. He has a little bit of trauma gained at the start of the book, and not handled. I find Wyatt and Benny together are just weird, I have resounding negative feelings about them. I'm not sure if it is the characters of Charity's execution of their relationship. Charity Parkinson has made an impressive choice with the two maternal figures of the story. Elle is that warm, motherly, loving and protective type that is so common in this type of romance novel. But Benny's mother is a whole other deal. Benny's mother is North Korean, trapped in North Korea after being deported back there, she is the reason Benny does what he does. They are polar opposites while both being supportive of their sons.
That storyline with Jayden is written in well. Jayden is a complicated character. He is already showing himself two have more than one side. Jayden is lonely, a bit broken and needs love. We actually get to see the side of him that is fierce and caring. I do like that we met him through Wyatt they are more than a little complicated. He deserves his happiness with Darrel (book 3, His Salvation) not all readers will think that at first but trust me by the time you finish you will.
Some quotes:
There had to be at least five shooters. All in full riot gear with automatic weapons. Wasn’t this high school shit? Who shot up a college campus? — Five is a lot for a campus shooting, like unheard of from what I saw, some minor realism would be appreciated. As for that who shoots up a college campus? It's not nearly as common, I'm guessing something to do with attendance being a choice and campus size, but it's not as uncommon as we'd like to think. (Benny)
Two members of his team were dead. Their funerals had passed without Wyatt in attendance. — Well fu** you very much for that. Way to make a man bitter. (Wyatt)
He couldn’t even find one person to go to the movies with and these five people found one another to go on a killing spree. Life was funny. Popularity was wasted on the popular. — Jesus that is just grim. I mean I appreciate the quote and the thought but it is good. (Benny)
“I’m sure she’d love to have you, but then I wouldn’t get to do this,” Wyatt said, capturing the man’s lips." — Well sweetie, that went from I-can't-do-this-it's-unprofessional to kissing Benny in maybe a page and a half. I think I'm almost impressed at the speed.
“She assumed, since you’re bi, you’d be open to having other men join you,” — FFS Kayla. I can't even with you girl. Between this and your actions later... 🤬🥊 (Benny)
“I get the feeling you’re an old man trapped in a twenty-two-year-old body.” — This is in reference to Benny. It's a recurring line and theme. Honestly, it is true and a mood for me. (Wyatt)
There are some good moments in the second half that I would share but I'm not sure where the spoilers are for this and I'm not sure I have the motivation to spend more time on this review.
I will likely read others in the series because Richie's (book 2, His Loss) sounds appealing as a set-up. All of them work on the stressful situation principle to open, campus shooting, stuck lift and claustrophobia and a bank robbery. Call it a series of attempts to defy the Speed principle. I'm hoping it is still known what I mean by that but it comes from the last times of the film "I have to warn you, I've heard relationships based on intense experiences never work. OK. We'll have to base it on sex then. Whatever you say, ma'am." (Jack Traven and Annie Porter)

But I’m still gonna cry a bucket of tears because that’s what emotionally wrecked b*tches do

Fighter: Dads will see their kids and be like 'is anyone going to emotionally damage that' and not wait for an answer.
Tutor: P'Fight, do you want me to hold you.
Fighter *choking up*: yes please.

Why R U: HORRIBLE SUBS EDITION
I need to yell for a sec about the subs on Fighter's texts to Tutor, because they have LITERALLY NOTHING to do with what he actually wrote! Props to the translators for the entire rest of the episode, but wtf is this??
Tumblr media
WHAT IT ACTUALLY SAYS:
Fighter: Get well soon, Tor
Fighter: If you need anything, let me know
Tumblr media
WRONG AGAIN:
Fighter: But I'm going back for today... I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable
?!?!?
This changes the whole tone of that scene! Fighter wasn't throwing money at Tutor or overstepping or being anything but The Sweetest Boyfriend ™.
Anyway, just thought y'all should know.
