First Impression
Set in 3rd person Knight of passion gives the story of Jamie and Linnet from the previous books.
The prologue begins in the louvre, Paris in the year 1420. Jamie, who is love struck, mentions marriage but Linnet doesn't want to be a wife, she couldn't bear having a man telling her what to do also her plans for revenge requires her independence.
Setting her plan into motion wanted to be both her and Jamiea are caught together in a bed-chamber by her father and Sir Guy, the man who her father plans to marry her to. Jaime leaves. Back to england, deverstated.
In the next chapter 5 years has past since the night he left, Jamie is still affected. 
Now in London, Jamie rescues longer on London bridge surrounded by a mob, taking her to safety.
It is here, that we as the audience learn of Linnet's friendship with Queen Katherine the wife of the late King Henry from the Knight of Desire. Also we learn from the persuasion of the Queen that Jamie reveals that he home to search of a wife. 

My Rating ⭐⭐⭐
As final book in the All the King's Men Series, Knight of Passion was filled with romance and action till the very end. I felt that the story was a little repetitive with Jamie's description, but I would read Knight of Passion more than once for the witty dialogue. 
I would recommend that anyone who likes a fast-paced romance involving a strong willed female lead.
