ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 24, 2022

I am a Sovereign Son. A king within The Society.
With a look I send men to their knees.

Yet she stands tall against me, taunting me with her rebellion.
But we all have rules we must live by.
Even me.
And I have broken the most sacred.

I took her to my bed.
I claimed that which did not belong to me.
And now that the beast within has had a taste, it wants more.

REVIEW: HER REBELLION is the second instalment in the contemporary, adult THE RITE dark, erotic, crime world, romance series co-authored by A Zavarelli and Natasha Knight, set in the authors’ Sovereign Sons world. This is attorney/judge Lawson ‘Judge’ Montgomery, and twenty-five year old Mercedes De La Rosa’s story line. Judge and Mercedes were first introduced in The Society Trilogy. HER REBELLION should not be read as a stand alone, as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one HIS RULE

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise including issues of questionable consent, physical discipline and abuse, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

SOME BACKGROUND: In the wake of a murder committed by our story line heroine, Mercedes De La Rosa becomes a virtual prisoner of Lawson ‘Judge’ Montgomery but finds herself the target of a vindictive housekeeper, an angry brother, and a ghost from the past that refuses to stay hidden. As Mercedes life continues to spiral out of control, Judge struggles to remain dispassionate, taking from Mercedes what she can never get back

Told from dual first person perspectives (Judge and Mercedes) HER REBELLION picks up immediately after the cliff hanger of book one HIS RULE in which Mercedes finds herself on the precipice of losing it all but Lawson Montgomery has suspicions about the person responsible, and in this, pledges to destroy those at fault. Mercedes De La Rosa continues to be defiant in the wake of her imprisonment, an imprisonment wherein Mercedeses finds herself falling for the man who is consuming her soul, and destroy her heart. But the past refuse to die, accusations and charges are read, and someone must pay the price for a life lost, a life shattered. What ensues is the growing but acrimonious relationship between Judge and Mercedes, and the fall-out as our couple must bear the punishment for sins of the past.

The relationship between Mercedes and Judge is contemptuous, abusive, controlling and wounded. Judge refuses to admit his is falling for the woman who is about to destroy his life, and Mercedes has fallen further than she could have ever imagined. As Judge struggles to protect our story line heroine, Mercedes refuses to bend to the will of the man who is willing to sacrifice himself to save the woman with whom he is falling in love. The $ex scenes are aggressive and raw.

The secondary and supporting characters include Mercedes’ brother Santiago and his wife Ivy, Judge’s housekeeper Lois, his brother Theron, their mother, as well as Mercedes’s friend Georgie Beaumont and Solana. The requisite evil has many faces, and play a large part in the downward spiral of our story line heroine.

HER REBELLION is another twisted, haunting, powerful and dark story of power and control, want and need, betrayal and vengeance, punishment and crime. The premise is raw and tragic; the characters are broken, stubborn, alpha and arrogant; the unconventional romance has yet to go beyond the need for control. HER REBELLION ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

From the first night I bedded her I knew I was playing with fire.
And now I must face the consequence.

I betrayed my best friend. A man who was more a brother to me than my own blood.
And as her stomach swells with my child, I fear I have lost her too.

She claims men hold all the power in our world, but she has brought me to my knees.
I love her. I know that now. Too little too late.

Breaking a heart is easy. Mending one is where the difficulty lies.

But a predator lies in wait of her. And I’ll do anything I must to keep her safe.

REVIEW:THEIR REIGN is the third and final instalment in the contemporary, adult THE RITE dark, erotic, crime world, romance trilogy co-authored by A Zavarelli and Natasha Knight, set in the authors’ Sovereign Sons world. This is attorney Lawson ‘Judge’ Montgomery, and twenty-five year old Mercedes De La Rosa’s story line. Judge and Mercedes were first introduced in The Society Trilogy. THEIR REIGN should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two HER REBELLION.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

NOTE: If you have not read HER REBELLION, there may be spoilers in my review.

SOME BACKGROUND: In the wake of a murder committed by our story line heroine, Mercedes De La Rosa becomes a virtual prisoner of Lawson ‘Judge’ Montgomery but finds herself the target of a vindictive housekeeper, an angry brother, and a ghost from the past that refuses to stay hidden. As Mercedes life continues to spiral out of control, Judge struggles to remain dispassionate, taking from Mercedes what she can never get back but someone is targeting our story line heroine, and Judge is about to pay the price for her sins.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Judge and Mercedes) THEIR REIGN picks up immediately after the cliff hanger of book two in which Mercedes finds herself the victim of a kidnapping, in the wake of the discovery of her pregnancy news. Judge, struggling to accept all that has happened, battles between head and heart for the woman with whom he is falling in love but all is not well in the world of The Society, and having paid the price for Mercedes’ sins, Judge is unwilling to accept their lives going forward. As Mercedes prepares for life on her own, Judge isn’t willing to stand by and watch his family disappear from his life.

The relationship between Judge and Mercedes continues to be angry and unconventional. Judge doesn’t believe in happily ever afters leaving Mercedes nothing more than a stain in the eyes of The Society. With the reality of what was and what may never be, Judge must learn to accept the woman with whom he is falling in love or lose her forever to someone else. The $ex scenes are aggressive, spirited and intense.

All of the secondary and supporting characters return: Mercedes’ brother Santiago and his wife Ivy, Judge’s housekeeper Lois, his brother Theron, their mother, as well as Mercedes’ friends Georgie Beaumont and Solana as well as Councilor Hildebrand, Judge’s head of security Raul.

THEIR REIGN is another story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, struggle and acceptance, forgiveness and love. The premise is edgy and dramatic; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are broken but struggling to heal.
