Yes give her another shot! You'll be glad you did.
Knight is really bad!
Spoiler:
The hero is a pimp but this okay because he's takes care of the girls really well!
The author was trying to go for gangster talk which was bad idea but unless you're familiar with that type of slang it sounds like gibberish. It left me scratching my head wondering what in the world they were trying to say. I felt lost and really got creep out each time he made her call him Daddy during sex. It felt very 50 Shadesish but was not done as well.
Her other books are nothing like Knight from what I've read so far. The Rock Chick one has a very
Stephanie Plum vibe to it but as the series goes on it takes a new life of its own. So far book four has been my favorite in the series. I love Jules and Vance!
After I finished the RC series I'm going to go back and read The Gamble. I read that Sweet Dreams and The Gamble are not really connected other then taking place in Colorado however the books after Sweet dreams are connected in some way.

She's is what I call an unconventional writer. She's not for everyone. You will hear it said she needs an editor bad. I use to feel that way but now I've come to love how raw and unpolished her writing is. I can overlook alot because she tells a great story and despite all the grammar rules she breaks the story still flows! I don't know how she does this but it works most of the time.
