BLURB

I had a life, love, and future to give.
Until my enemy took a wife.

The devil has a name, and it’s Cristiano de la Rosa. On my wedding day, he was the last man I expected to see standing at the altar. He wants to make me his queen. His brother wants to rescue his princess.

Getting Cristiano to lose control becomes the name of the game, and the stakes are life and death. But as truth and lies blur, loyalty is tested, and our chemistry threatens to reach the melting point, the prize grows less clear. Either freedom no longer means what I think it does, or Cristiano is as devious as everyone says, and he’s mastered the art of playing my mind.

All I know for certain is that nothing is certain. And all you need to know? This is a love story.
But even love stories have to end.

MY REVIEW


Violent Ends is the second book in the White Monarch series and must be read in order.

The suspense, tension and passion mounts in this installment. Will Natalia ever love and trust Cristiano? What will he need to do to prove himself? And, if he didn’t kill her mother, who did?

There are so many unanswered questions and the mounting suspense, tension and passion are almost unbearable. You can’t help but need this couple to get it on! The build up to this is simply killing me. With all this wait, I’m expecting something EPIC! Something hot, panty-melting and out-of-this-world sexy!

The plot thickens and Natalia asks herself who she can trust. Her trust wavers in one brother and begins to bloom in another but all that means at this time is that she can only trust one person. Herself.

I enjoyed and was proud of Natalia for going head-to-head with Cristiano. How she does not submit to his demands without a fight each and every time.

What I did not enjoy as much was her constant willfulness not to see what is right in front of her. The truth. This way of thinking lasted so long it started to grate.

Cristiano is charming, understanding and patient. Not to mention brutal, possessive, demanding and vengeful. Together, the good and the bad, make one powerful, sexy man that is absolutely drool-worthy.

Cristiano and Natalia together? Restrained desire, passion and love bubbling below the surface like a volcano that is about to erupt. I cannot wait to see all those molten feelings boil over!

A captivating read that has me excited and eager for the next book.

I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
