The last book in the "Southern Knights" mini-series. A villian in the earlier books, Nicholas Carlucci has just been released from a 5-year prison term. He had hoped that he could have broken Jimmy Falcone's New Orleans crime ring, but all that happened was Falcone walked free and Nick went to prison. Lanie Farrell is an FBI agent sent to protect Nicholas from Falcone's promise to kill him in retribution for his betrayal. Lanie's problem is she can't tell Nicholas the truth, since he doesn't want any protection from anyone, not caring whether he lives or dies. What Lanie doesn't know is Nicholas has a secret motivation for all of his years working as Falcone's crooked attorney. She is supposed to "stick to him like glue," but neither of them has counted on falling in love. Marilyn Pappano has a good ear for dialog. Her characters sound like real people. I laughed and cried as I watched them struggle through their healing processes: Nicholas to heal his bitterness about his childhood abandonment and pain of losing his first true love, and Lanie to come to terms with her mother's suicide and her father's callousness. I read romance novels to learn better ways for me to be in relationship with people, and how to really connect. What I learned reading "Knight Errant," is that it is important to never quit loving the people I care about. I also enjoyed vicariously visiting New Orleans. I could visualize "The Quarter," and almost smell the humidity. After I read this one, I HAD to go and find the rest of the series!
