Number-one best seller

I want the one girl I can’t have....

Zoe Romero is trapped in a marriage contract with the most sadistic psychopath at Kingmakers.

She couldn’t be more off limits. Stealing her from Rocco Prince would break the most ironclad rules of the mafia world.

But I have to have her. She’s my soul mate. I want her, or no one at all.

I’ll do anything to save her. Rocco will do anything to destroy her.

I’ve got one chance to achieve the impossible....

The Lark Notes:

Ohhhh, Miles...what happens when you mix my all-time favorite couple from Brutal Prince? You get 75 percent Aida’s recklessness plus 75 percent Callum’s ruthlessness, which equals 150 percent Miles. The Rebel is intense, driven, and doesn’t care what anybody thinks, until he meets Zoe. — Sophie

The Rebel is the second book in the epic dark mafia Kingmakers series. It’s a forbidden romance full of jealousy, desire, and a hero who will do anything to save the woman he loves.

Amazing Story!!!

The Rebel is the second book in The Kingmaker’s series. It’s a mafia forbidden romance set in an Academia setting.

Miles and Zoe…. Sigh!! These two are GOALS!! Trapped in an arranged marriage deal, Zoe is terrified for the life that awaits her with Rocco after Kingmaker’s. Cruel and callous, Rocco sees Zoe as nothing more as a means to power.

Miles is The Rebel. Smart and savvy, he’s a businessman in the making stuck at Kingmaker’s due to his mafia family ties.

When Miles sees Zoe in distress, the sparks fly. Rescuing her he soon learns Zoe is more than she seems and he’s determined to protect her at all costs.

This story is narrated by Jeffrey Holz, Maeve York and Lilly Drake. They provide points of view for Miles, Zoe and Kat (Zoe’s sister).They do a fantastic job of bringing this story to life!

The Rebel

The Rebel is the second book in the Kingmakers series. This book is told from three POVs, Miles Griffin, Zoe Romera, and Zoe's sister, Cat.

Zoe is in an arranged marriage to someone who is not a good guy. He does things to Zoe to humiliate her in front of everyone. Miles will do anything to take Zoe away from her future fiancée.

We also get Cat's perspective. She will do whatever she can so her sister can have her happy ending.

Can Zoe get away from her abuser? Can she have a happy ending with Miles? How does Cat play into their story?

I really enjoyed this book, and can't wait to see how Cat's story plays out.

Worth The Credit!

If I could give this more than fifteen stars then I would do it in a heartbeat. Speaking of heart beats, my heart was put through so many emotions reading this book. I believe this is one of Sophie‘s best books ever! I know. I say that every time I write a review of one of her books. That just means she is freaking awesome and gets better and better every time.

I thought I liked Leo and Anna, but Miles and Zoe? Oh. My. Goodness! I always liked him because he is just a perfect mix of his mom and dad, who are my favorite literary couple ever. Callum is my book boyfriend, and Aida is just awesome! The first time Miles actually meets Zoe, we get to see a kinder and heroic side of him. My favorite thing about Zoe is that she loves her sister unconditionally and will do anything to protect her.

There was so much happening in this book that there were times when I was crying my eyes out, angry enough to want to throw my phone across the room, or was shocked out of my mind by the actions of a few characters. Can I just say now that Cat is AWESOME! I love her the most, but don’t get me started about Dean, who has been my favorite bad guy since the beginning of the series. He didn’t disappoint in this book. I want his audiobook NOW! 🤣

I loved all three narrators, but the girl who narrate Cat’s voice takes the prize!

Sophie knows how to tell a story. You can tell that she does so much research when she writes a book because you totally get a history lesson. I love her work so much.

I really enjoyed this book!

I now just want a book about Miles and Zoe in LA, I feel like their adventures would.be so fun to read about

Book 2 - can be standalone

This is book 2 in Lark's Kingmakers series and can be read as a standalone. This is a college coming of age romance read that is full of twists and turns. Dark themes and told from multiple points of view. This romance is well written and captivating from start to finish with our main characters being Zoe and Miles. Zoe is betrothed to a monster and Miles will have to sacrifice everything for her. I loved the mafia ties and the violence that made this so dark and I love Zoe's dedication to the ones she loves and her willingness to sacrifice to protect them. Zoe's sister Kat has her eyes opened and tons of character growth and Miles...I adore his carefree persona that is really just a front for the ruthless things he'll do to protect those he loves as well. Beautifully narrated and great storyline.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.
