Review | Violent Triumphs (White Monarch #3) by Jessica Hawkins --> 5+ Stars! Top Favorite!
TITLE: Violent Triumphs
SERIES: White Monarch Trilogy #3 AUTHOR: Jessica Hawkins
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: November 12th, 2019
The highly anticipated conclusion to the “emotional, steamy, and dangerous” USA Today bestselling 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 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.

Where do I start with Violent Triumphs? It seems impossible to write a review worthy of this brilliant novel! It felt like I waited forever for this final installment in the White Monarch Trilogy and when I finally received my copy I devoured it fervently! I was hooked by Natalia and Cristiano’s story all read long. Jessica Hawkins once again revealed her huge talent with a romance brimming with love, violence, intrigue, heartbreak, deception and all the in between! I was hypnotized wholly by this couple’s undecided fate!
It’s not a secret that since Violent Delights, I’ve been completely infatuated with Cristiano! His dark aura and alphaness, mixed with his protectiveness over Natalia is omnipresent and so enticing. He’s a cold man to the outside world, but with his woman he softens and shows signs of tenderness. He couldn’t be more perfect with his complex clashing personality of good and bad! The temptation between his wife and him is more than ever reaching unexplored levels of passion. There’s just so much sparks between them and the way they finally surrender to their attraction is explosive! These two are fire, but also radiating beauty! I was breathless for their devotion to each other!
As much as Cristiano is the essence of alpha hero and so attractive as a protagonist, Natalia demonstrates more than ever that she’s his true queen; his perfect match! That woman is fierce and the only person that can bring him to his knees. She’s not the fragile, innocent girl she was raised to be. She’s showing her real potential as a cartel wife and it’s incredible! She doesn’t bow to Cristiano’s demands and goes head to head with him, proving that she’s his equal! Seriously these two had me in awe with their commitment to each other and my heart was so full with their powerful love!
As much as the development of their relationship as husband and wife is one of the most gripping aspect of this book, the intrigue and suspense is also very alluring! With the rival cartels making threats and trying to gain power with manipulation and secret attacks, I was completely addicted to the action. The surprises and gruesome events are piling up through the novel and make it unputdownable!
Jessica Hawkins couldn’t have concluded the White Monarch Trilogy in a better way! Violent Triumphs is the best in the series and one of my favorite read this year! It’s another little jewel you need to read ASAP. This book is the whole package! I won’t forget Natalia, Cristiano and the whole cast of characters easily! They’re engraved in my heart!
