Editoral Review
Wanted by Kimberly Knight is a thrilling contemporary romance novel that was first released on March 23, 2013. Knight, the author of several bestselling romance novels, has cemented herself as one of the most prominent voices in the genre.
As expected, Wanted lives up to the high expectations that come with Knight’s name. Set in San Francisco, Wanted follows the life of Angelina Sinclair, a young woman who is struggling to find her place in the world.
Despite having a responsible job and a supportive family, Angelina feels like something is missing from her life. Her journey to self-discovery is complicated when she meets a handsome stranger, Vincent Mancini, who has an air of danger around him.
As they start to fall for each other, Vincent’s dark past threatens to ruin everything. Knight’s writing is both engaging and inventive.
Her characters are well-crafted, and readers quickly become invested in their lives. Angelina’s emotional journey is particularly compelling, and readers will relate to her struggles with identity and self-worth.
Additionally, the chemistry between Angelina and Vincent is electrifying, and the tense moments throughout the book keep readers on edge. Knight’s descriptions of San Francisco bring the city to life.
She captures the beauty and complexity of the city, adding depth and realism to the story. By setting the story in San Francisco, Knight draws attention to the cultural and social aspects of the city, evoking a sense of place that shapes the book’s themes.
One of the strengths of Wanted is the way Knight deals with themes of emotional vulnerability, identity, and redemption. Her characters grapple with these themes throughout the book, and their journeys are both relatable and touching.
Knight’s ability to handle these sensitive topics with nuance and sensitivity makes Wanted a book that will stay with readers long after they finish reading it. However, the book is not without its flaws.
The pace of the book is uneven, with some parts dragging and others feeling rushed. Additionally, the plot is somewhat predictable, and readers may see the twists coming from a mile away.
Despite these minor flaws, Wanted is a well-written, well-crafted book that will be enjoyed by fans of the romance genre. Kimberly Knight’s evocative writing, compelling characters, and themes of self-discovery make Wanted a book that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
It is a must-read for anyone looking for a captivating and emotional love story. Rating: 4/5
The rating criteria are based on the book’s ability to engage readers, the quality of the writing, the depth of the characters, the pacing of the plot, and the thematic relevance to current events.
While the book has some flaws in its pacing and predictability, it is a well-written and engaging story that will resonate with readers. Knight’s talent for creating relatable characters and bringing San Francisco to life in the book makes Wanted a unique and exciting read.
I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy romance novels that explore themes of self-discovery and emotional vulnerability.
