Review: Violent Triumphs (White Monarch #3) by Jessica Hawkins VIOLENT TRIUMPHS (WHITE MONARCH #3) Natalia and Cristiano's epic journey all comes to a crazy conclusion here in Violent Triumphs. Their marriage may have been forced, but in Violent Triumphs , they're moving beyond their beginnings. They're falling deep, deep in love as forces outside them are ramping up to make a run at Cristiano's rule. Secrets are coming out and she's starting to see that some of the things she's long believed, people she's believed in, are not quite as solid as she had thought. And it's forcing her to take a long, hard look at the man she's fallen in love with. And now they're taking one last stand. Will they stand as one, a queen with her king? Or will Cristiano force her away to protect her? Hot damn, I may have had my doubts about these two as a couple in Violent Delights and Violent Ends , but this time around I fell hard for them as they stood strong...

Title: Violent Triumphs Series: White Monarch #3 Author: Jessica Hawkins Genre: Contemporary Romance Release Date: November 12, 2019 Blurb The highly anticipated conclusion to the “emotional, steamy, and dangerous”  USA Today White Monarch series. I’ve become a queen to the forsaken, a leader to thieves, and the wife of a man who instills fear in all who cross his path. He was the husband I didn’t want. Now, I can’t fathom life without my king. I should’ve been ready for anything. Like the caterpillar that feeds on poison during metamorphosis, I was raised in the dangerous world of cartel crime. But nothing could’ve prepared me for Cristiano de la Rosa, his brother’s poison, or the Calavera cartel. This is still a story about a love strong enough to topple households, unite enemies, and divide brothers. Resilient enough to bring down those who would try to destroy it . . . and selfless enough to make the ultimate sacrifice. But I was warned, and so were you. Death’s day ...

Review of Violent Ends (White Monarch Book 2) by Jessica Hawkins VIOLENT ENDS (WHITE MONARCH BOOK 2) HOLY MOTHER F-IN!! That cliffhanger is a clusterfuck of a doozy. Damn... OK, now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'll get to my brief review. I am going brief on this one because I really don't want to give anything away. I'll just say that this second part of The White Monarch series was not what I expected. I expected more of what I got in book 1 - lots of action, more of Natalia hating Cristiano and pining over Diego, and her plotting on how to get back to him. What actually happened was a bit more emotional, more slow burn, but even more delicious, and this time I FELL IN LOVE WITH CRISTIANO!! And then of course, that freakin cliffhanger, and now I'm even more anxious than I was after the end of Violent Delights. I LOVE this second part of Natalia and Cristiano's story. She grows quite a bit, starts questioning things she had believed most o...
