As you can see, I've got a (relatively) new release. Worth the Wait is a novel in e-book format, available at Ellora's Cave. I'm excited by the excellent reviews received thus far, including a Reviewer Top Pick and Reader Recommended/Must Read ratings! Here are a few great things being said about the book:

Blurb:
Jade’s law-enforcing, gun-toting relatives scare off every potential love interest she has in the small town of Moon River, Montana, leaving her frustrated and sexually deprived. Until bad boy Vin D’Angelo roars into town on a bad-ass motorcycle…along with his devilishly handsome friend and business partner, Noah Riley.


For one night of her very sheltered life, Jade gets everything she wants, needs and desires during an intense ménage with the two men. Come morning, though, it’s Vin’s sinfully delicious body she still craves—making him more than worth the wait.

Unfortunately, Vin has come to Moon River to reveal secrets he’s kept for eight years. Shocking revelations that threaten his new bond with Jade when she discovers who he really is…and how intricately he’s entwined with her painful past.

5 Stars—Romance Writer Reviews


Worth the Wait by Ava McKnight is a very romantic story of Vin and Jade who meet online when they were young, but lost contact. …This book is hot and very sexy!!” ~Wanda


5 Stars and Reviewer Top Pick—Night Owl Reviews


“Vin D’Angelo is in town to scout locations for filming; he’s also there to look up an old friend. In Jade he finds a very sexy woman, eager to be led astray. …What starts out as a hot fling quickly develops into something deeper and more meaningful. …There is a lot more to Jade’s father’s over protectiveness than first appears, and the deeper issues in this novel are deftly dealt with. This is a really fun romance which manages to be hot, sweet and spicy at the same time. I loved the characters, the humor and the story.” ~CYD


5 Siren Stones—Siren Book Reviews


Worth the Wait by Ava McKnight hit so close to home it was uncanny. No I didn’t have Vin or a Noah...but I did have overprotective brothers and cousins and I totally could relate to the difficulty poor Jade had with entering a relationship… I commend her on how she stood up to her family in her own town.

Vin the sexy man was not a one dimensional type a guy but multifaceted. Every time I thought I had him pinned down, he threw out another fault that led to such a great trait I thought I’d die swooning over him. I enjoyed the hard hot passion between he and Jade but more his determination to right a wrong that never really was. Seeing how he went from boy to man and his past life altering traumas had me falling for him.

Now Noah, what a fine piece of man, and I can’t wait for his story. I was glad he didn’t overly intrude on what wasn’t his but obliged just a bit. He’s the type of friend every guy should have. The secondary characters were a lively bunch and I can’t wait to see what crops up. Maybe even if Jade’s papa finds himself a strong heroine too.” ~Cia
