Their Reign: ★ ★ ★ ★ . 5

A. Zavarelli & N. Knight (The Rite Trilogy, #3)

“Regardless of what the future brings, you are imprinted on me. Do you understand that? You are and always will be the one person who makes me feel this way.”

In the final installment of The Rite Trilogy, Judge finally learns about Mercedes' pregnancy. Desperate to be back in her life–and their child's–he will do anything to get her back, even–and especially–as danger looms around the corner.

Judge and Mercedes are back for the last time and it's so bittersweet! I enjoyed reading about these two, however toxic & whiplash-inducing their relationship may have been because there's no doubt they're meant for one another. I do definitely have my reservations with some blurred consent lines across this series, so please make sure you check TW before you read any of these books.

Honestly, even though [b:His Rule|60850739|His Rule (The Rite Trilogy #1)|Natasha Knight|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1650458456l/60850739._SY75_.jpg|95740950] and [b:Her Rebellion|60725255|Her Rebellion (The Rite Trilogy #2)|A.

I truly couldn't find fault with it. There was top notch groveling and a helpless Judge who would do anything to get Mercedes back, which he kind of deserved after the chokehold he kept on her. Judge was so sweet and the way he felt joy/hope at the pregnancy and Mercedes being her usual independent, fiery self was fabulous.

The Santi & Ivy moments in this book were also gold. I loved seeing Santi & Mercedes and Ivy & Mercedes mend their relationships because it was so pure. Protective Santi was so sweet as well. And Ivy being so excited about the babies was so cute. The Judge & Santi relationship–which obviously was tested in this book–development and where they are now was also really nice to see.

There were an abundantly high number of very sweet numbers which I lapped up like a puppy. And it was so wonderful to finally see their beautiful happy ending together which they really deserved. The epilogue has my whole entire heart! It was everything I needed to feel so magically complete.

Really loved seeing the Solana & Theron set up in this book as well!
