Violent Triumphs

Violent Triumphs is the most anticipated conclusion to the Monarch Series. If you're starting with this book, please stop and go to the beginning, Violent Delights. Where a soothsayer predicted that "I would die for the man I loved", and die I did! Ay, Dios Mio! Cristiano de la Rosa was dead! A gift from Belmonte-Ruiz, Mexico's human trafficking ring was sending a message and did they ever! However, they weren't counting on the caterpillar's transformation into the butterfly. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned or the White Monarch! So much betrayal, murder, and mayhem. There is a stairway to heaven or a highway to hell, and either one will take you where you need to go! Violent Triumphs was not the way I anticipated the story to end, but leave it to Jessica Hawkins to make my journey that much more intriguing. A journey, similar to one taken by Monarch butterflies, butterflies are free to fly, fly away!

Omg, what a thrilling, emotional and sexy conclusion to the White Monarch series! After the alarming way Hawkins left us at the end of book two, I couldn't wait to find out where this story would go from there! Well I was not disappointed that this story picks right up where Violent Ends left off and hit the ground running. I was holding my breath throughout the opening chapters! I am so in awe of Natalia and how strong, brave, and resilient she is. I loved seeing how she morphs into a queen worthy of her king. That includes how she infuses herself with the people and the world she previously fought to escape. It has always been Cristiano who saw her for who she truly was. His dominance made her feel safe and cherished, and gave her the courage to grow in strength and love. The way their relationship evolved, and the loyalty and love they shared was epic. But that is also their weakness that could get them all killed. The many twists and turns this gripping story took were so unexpected, and had me totally captivated! The ending blindsided me and was so thrilling, raw, and breathtaking! This story is so beautifully written and so seductive, that I just wasn't ready for it to end. I really loved this whole series! Bravo!

This book is the third and final piece in Cristiano and Natalia's story. What an incredible journey this trilogy has taken readers on. This series has been an epic roller coaster ride that has tracks that not only lift you to the highest highs and drop you to the lowest lows but has twists and turns that take you into a hall of mirrors where things are not what they seem and then through the house of horrors where nail-biting tension and anxiety will become your constant companions. Natalia And Cristiano have stolen my heart and I have enjoyed every angst filled and heartachingly dramatic second in the evolution of their relationship. If you are looking for a series that will totally ensnare you in its web with a complex blend of intense emotions, stunning shockers and an all the feels inducing love story, then you need to grab book one and start reading right Now! Trust me, you will not be sorry.
