Violent Triumphs

White Monarch, Book 3

By: Jessica Hawkins

Narrated by: Emma Wilder, Brian Pallino, Gomez Pugh

Includes a bonus deleted scene! Book three in the USA Today best-selling White Monarch trilogy. Complete series available now.

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 always comes.

This time, it will find what was once a caterpillar is now a butterfly - and hell hath no fury like the White Monarch.

One of my favorite series!!

Why does it have to end. seems like there could have been more to the story but was so good.

Perfect Ending with a Brilliant Performance!

this was my favorite book from the series. I did struggle with the ending we could see was perform by one of my favorite narrator's Brian Paulino who's not longer with us but forever stay in my heart. That's how deeply I admire and respect him as a person and as a performer.

I absolutely loved and enjoyed his fabulous series! ❤

I LOVED.. LOVED.. LOVED IT

Right through the whole wonderful trilogy I was one hundred percent invested in this couple’s rollercoaster relationship as the pull of their chemistry.. the push of the situation.. and the passionate dedication Cristiano had for his beloved Natalie, was shaken and tested over and over again. Natalie’s metamorphosis from a naive virginal pawn in the first book to Cristiano’s strong feisty heroic Queen willing to fight or die by the man she loved, had already gone through so many complex emotional challenges already. Yet, in this final book, it stops being a battle between a devoted husband and his unwilling wife because Natalie finally puts all the puzzle pieces together and learns the truth about her husband, learns who the villains were behind her mother’s murder and finally learns how to trust, forgive and love Cristiano.

Jessica Hawkins has written a multi-layered gem of a story that drew me in from the start and didn’t let me go. The passion and protectiveness Cristiano had for Natalie was beautiful, his dirty mouth and descriptions of what he was going to do to her was.. well pheweee!! and his love shone throughout the scenes. Natalie’s nineteen year old naivety and rejection slowly morphed into a twenty year old’s understanding and coming to terms with the challenges and rewards of the world around her. Of what her husband stood for and what he was offering her.. and, as her awareness grew, so did respect and undying love blossom for her loyal husband. But their enemies weren't all vanquished, a snake in the grass was slithering towards them and devastation and heartbreak was is in the wind.

Worth a credit? Yes, yes and yes.. this outstanding well-everythinged trilogy packs a mighty punch, Spectacular dual POV narration by Emma and Brian brought the weighty myriad of feels, the characters, the action-packed unique bulky trilogy and the hold-your-breath tension, the sexy as f’k and the swoon-worthy scenes to life.. and Emma your hero’s voice was one hundred percent believable and phenomenal. Eighty percent told from Natalie’s PoV. Yes, the heroine was a little younger than I normally like but her journey gave her the strength and understanding she was lacking at the start and made her a survivor.
