As soon as this ARC hit my kindle I dropped everything and started reading. I’ve been dying to read what happened after the ending of book two slayed me. That ending was a rough one and I’m someone who loves cliff hangers.
Surprises, drama, angst, suspense – this book had it all. You think you know how this is going to play out? You have no idea what you are in store for. There is so much that comes to light in this book. I was shocked that what I knew wasn’t what I thought it was. It’s heart-stopping, clever and full of twists you won’t see coming.
I love Meghan’s stories. She can write anti heroes with skilled perfection. I don’t know if I will be able to accept not being in New Orleans with these characters anymore. The men are strong but the women are stronger. The men may not be on the right side of the law but they are honorable. I love that they don’t go soft because they fell in love. Nope, they fall in love and become harder protecting the woman that they love. Reading those types of stories is addicting. Who wouldn’t want to be loved like that?
So what do I do now that this trilogy is over? I have no idea, but I’m probably going to be sitting here waiting for Meghan’s next anti-hero trilogy. Is she going to write one? I have no idea, but I am hoping with everything I have that she will.
Talk about being dragged through mud kicking and screaming. Don’t know why I’m ever surprised but OMG when you consume yourself with this book series and you go through the emotions that there characters do. That is when you know you’ve read a good book. Awesome job
The Savage Trilogy comes to an exciting conclusion in Rogue Royalty. The past two books, Savage Prince and Iron Princess MUST be read prior to Rogue Royalty.
I have one word for Ms. March- BRAVA.
Wow. Rogue Royalty is one of those books where you can just feel the soul and dedication put into it. I was absolutely enthralled with the story. It’s sexy and suspenseful, intense and breathtaking as the storyline twists and turns. There is a lot packed into this story, but every moment is needed as you quickly get sucked back into this part of NOLA. Meghan March has created an incredible world that I will always enjoy returning to.
With this being the final part of the trilogy, I have this entire series on my MUST READ list. Each installment is better than the previous. It is perfect for the reader looking for an unexpected emotional ride, and a sassy and sexy intensity found no where else.
Wow! Fantastic ending to this trilogy! Shocking and unpredictable twists I didn’t see coming, this had me hooked! I’ve really enjoyed other books by this author but this trilogy is my favorite. A unique story with complex characters, suspense, and sexy romance – highly recommend!
“No matter what, it’s you and me against the world. Deal?”
Amazing. Epic. Intense. Sexy. Emotional.
What a finale, my friends! It feels like I’ve been sitting on this review forever and now I’m just bursting at the seams, ready to tell you to GET THIS BOOK! GET THIS SERIES! You will not regret it! Meghan March has given us hit after hit after hit, but there is just something about the Savage Trilogy and these characters, that just BLEW ME AWAY! It stands out above the rest and it’s all due to the incredible writing and mind blowing imagination of the mega talented Meghan March!
You THINK you’re ready for the happily ever after that is sure to come, but you have NO IDEA what you’re in for in order to earn it. Anti-heroes are Ms. March’s specialty, as of late, and she gives us one hell of an enigma with this series, as well as a heroine that will win over the hearts of every romance reader out there. These two characters together are EXPLOSIVE! This series as a whole is INCREDIBLE! It’s been one hell of an emotional and sexy rollercoaster ride, and the author gives us something truly special with this finale! I can’t wait for everyone to devour this book! If you haven’t started the series because you were holding out for all three books to be available, I’m truly jealous of you. It takes a lot of strength to hold out on something so incredible! I envy the experience that you will have, and it’s enough to warrant a reread for me.
So enjoy! Hang tight and have a blast with this series! Savor it to the best of your ability and open your heart to the flood of emotions that is sure to come.
My Gosh! Way to end an epic series!! So much love for Meghan March and the way she built this fantastic world based in New Orleans. I love every character, every dramatic moment, every suspenseful occurrence and the romance, oh man the romance is so hot!
The last book ended with an insane shocker, I had no idea what was happening but I knew it was going to be heartbreaking. It definitely was and now Temperance is dealing with the aftermath of the two most important mean in her life have left her with. She is broken, hurt and feeling betrayed, the one man that she knows, knows what happened Mount, isn’t talking. The love of her life is gone and left her with everything he had. Her brother, left her even more broken and lost.
Rogue Royalty follows Temperance’s journey into finding herself and putting back the pieces, lots of shocking things happen that I don’t want to give away. But I was both happy and shocked at the middle and ending of this book. I figured out who was behind everything before Temperance, but it took me a while and boy was I surprised! Again I love everything about March’s writing, the city itself is its own character, it so alive and refreshing. The characters, are all flawed and all completely lovable because I want to protect and help them whenever something happened in the story.
5 I’m Speechless With This Ending Stars!!!
Leave it to Ms. March to once again leave me with no words. This is the final book in the Savage Trilogy and if it’s even possible Ms. March has outdone herself yet again. I know I’ve said this consistently with each book she’s written in these last trilogies, but her stories keep getting better and better. More mind numbing leaving me with a cavalcade of emotions almost impossible to translate to paper….but I’ll try.
The opening of this book tore me apart. I could feel Temperance’s pain and ache in her heart. Don’t worry I’m not going to give anything away because these books are must read in order books as Meghan March loves a good cliffhanger and this series is mind-blowing with the endings….back to Temperance and our anti-hero. If it’s possible to fall in love with someone that is exactly that…the anti of everything we look for in a book boyfriend then consider me captured hook, line and sinker by this man!!!
As this final book progresses we get so many details that were hinted at in Savage Prince and Iron Princess but come to full culmination in Rogue Royalty. Throughout my reading of this book there were gasps of “no way!” to “OMFG!!” that didn’t just happen…did it? My head was spinning with all the intricate details of this story. How I kept them straight I’m not sure…I admittedly had to read a few of chapters a couple of times and did indeed flip back through the first two books just to refresh my memory on a few details.
This book and this story is one that will be in my head for the foreseeable future and I in fact will probably do a re-read now that all three books are available, so I can read them back to back. What I can say with all certainty is that Meghan March has proven once again that her writing and storytelling has a finesse and consuming quality that once I dive into her made up worlds I’m loathe to leave because it’s just that dang good!!!
WOW!!! My mind is still shaking!
Rogue Royalty is a fast-paced, calculating ride of raw seductive defiance!
That will have you whisking away into the shadows. With a curious case of I didn’t see that coming or WTF!!!
Just when I thought I had this story figured out…BOOM! Talk about an unexpected ending!
Rogue Royalty completes the Savage Trilogy, and let me tell you, what an ending it was! After reading the ending of Iron Princess, Rogue Royalty had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t read fast enough, and was itching to figure out what kinds of twists and turns Meghan would throw our way this time. If you’re a fan of plot twists, you won’t be disappointed! As with all of Meghan’s recent books, she is the queen of the plot twist. You think you’re on the right track, but then she throws a monkey wrench in the storyline that will have you questioning everything you thought you figured out. This book and this entire series had so many layers. I absolutely loved it!
And the Savage Prince and his Iron Princess? Temperance and Kane will forever be two of my favorite Meghan March characters. Their relationship is so complex, but no matter what, love is at the very core of their story and their entire relationship. Sure it may seem unconventional at times, but Kane will do anything to keep Temperance safe, and I swooned so hard over how much he fought to keep her safe even when their emotions and obstacles got in their way. Reading how much both of these characters grew and changed throughout this entire series was refreshing. You take two people who seemingly don’t ‘fit’, but by the end of their story, they each take their own brand of love, not only to share with one another, but with themselves as well.
I wish I could un-read this entire series just so I could enjoy it all over again, but that’s the best thing about books. You can revisit your favorite characters over and over again. I will definitely be re-visiting the Savage Prince’s world…over and over again!
I remember being here almost a month ago, just having finished Iron Princess, sitting in front of my laptop screen trying to compose my thoughts and words after having my mind blown. Trying to figure out how I would endure the one-month of torturous wait until Rogue Royalty to be released. And now it’s here! And my mind didn’t just blow up; it got exploded like a thousand Christmas fireworks.
I mean, seriously. Page after page, I couldn’t gather my jaw off the floor; it was THAT dropped. Since the very first chapter, I had gone way under. Sure, I didn’t know what to expect after that Bing Bang cliffhanger of Iron Princess, but I could never imagine that the final part of this epic love would go down that road and unfold like that. That only proves, in my opinion, the greatness March has stored in her head.
What should I say first about this epic finale? Because only as epic I can describe it and it’s the only word that actually fits it. If someone would say to me one month ago that I would get to see a Kane Savage, not only head over over over OVER heels in love with his princess, but ALSO FREAKING OWN IT, I would probably have pulled a doubtful face. But then again, March finds always a way to make her tough-as-nails men be swooningly emotional and in love.
Page after page, after Kane’s POVs started, I was a constant pool on the floor. Even if you wanted to, you wouldn’t be able to get me off there. Kane’s declarations of love, both in words and in actions, had me finished off. I don’t know why my reaction to his was and is that big since I have experienced hundreds of male characters be crazy in love, but for some reason I can’t figure out, I was caught off guard this time. Surely, I expected him saying at some point that he loves her and finds ways to show her that, but March got him and his love in a whole new level.
I said it in my Iron Princess‘s review and I will say it again; TEMPERANCE RANSOM IS THE BEST FEMALE CHARACTER AND A REAL REAL REAL BAD ASS!!! Again and again, she was more than proving that characterization. I loved how dynamic, stubborn, strong, a fighter and, at the same time, vulnerable, sensitive, compassionate, loving Meghan made her. To quote Kane ” she was the whole f*cking package”. And I couldn’t not agree with him more. But, Tempe wasn’t the only bad ass heroine in the trilogy. March really took the female badassness and run with it till the finish line. One female after the other showed their teeth and what are made of and who rules the world! Harriet; Valentina; Ariel; Those and all the others put their mark in this story and made it even more great than already was. There wasn’t a moment in the whole trilogy where the women weren’t in charge, in one way or another. How much more cool can it get than that?
Savage Trilogy though isn’t only about the phenomenal love Kane & Temperance share and their MAGNIFICENT HEA. Savage Trilogy is about following your passions and dreams. It’s about finding those people in your life whose trust, love, belief in you makes you surpass the obstacles, challenges and devastations life loves to throw at you. Also, it’s about finding the love that is perfect for you. It’s about BELIEVING IN YOURSELF.
Meghan March created a truly savage love story with characters you never stop loving and adore. A love story that you want to visit and revisit again and again til the end of time. There is no doubt in my mind that I will never forget this love, those characters and everything in between. I just can’t. This kind of intensity and passion tend to leave a scar both in your heart and your mind. March did it once again! That’s all is left to say! And you NEED to read this trilogy NOW!!!!!
I can’t wait to see what else March has in store because, now that I am back on her train, I am never getting down.
Meghan March is the boss of writing a sexy, hot, romantic suspense, spacing out the story until you’re climbing the walls, dying to pick up where the action last left off, and just have to have that ending. Yep, she’s done it more than once, and I love it.
ROGUE ROYALTY, the final book in the Savage Trilogy, packs one heck of a punch, ratcheting up the action and bringing the ‘oh, dang!’ moments that I so love in Meghan’s writing. And heat, oh, yes, plenty of that, too, and questions answered, and a story that does not quit. I absolutely could not put this book down, not only because I needed to know how the heck things played out, but because Kane and Tempe, plus the rest of the delicious anti-hero crew, have become some of my favorites.
There are all the usual suspects from Meghan’s Beneath series, expertly interwoven into this storyline, and as lovable as ever. ROGUE ROYALTY really brings it all, the suspense, the twists and turns, the sexiness, and some unexpectedly sweet moments, and I loved it. This 5-star series needs to be on romance TBRs everywhere, so make sure to add it to yours.
“There’s nothing average about what we have”
Sweet heavens on everything that is epic, Meghan March have given us one hell of an ending to a very well written, well thought out story. I don’t even know where to start at with this review because everything about this book was so darn good. She gave us angst, she gave us suspense, she gave us sexy, and then she sealed it all up with so much love and one fan-freaking-tastic ending. I literally devoured this book within five hours because from the get go I was hooked and my attention was never let go until to end. Come to think of it I was still thinking about Kane and Tempe’s story this morning that’s how good it was. There were times when my mouth was left hanging so wide open that I swear it was going to stay permanently because the surprises just kept on coming from left to right.
Just stop whatever you’re doing and grab your copy of “Rogue Royalty” right now and if you haven’t read the “Savage Trilogy” you need to do so now. You will be left with no other choice but to fall in love with these characters and their story.
5 Stars
OMG OMG OH MY GOSHHHHHH!! This book has to be hands down my favorite of Ms. March’s! Mind blown. Seriously her best work to date.
Rogue Royalty by Meghan March is the third and final book in the Savage Trilogy. If you haven’t read Savage Prince and Iron Princess go read those first before reading this. I loved Rogue Royalty so freaking much. While some of the plot was predictable, there was so much that wasn’t. I was completely swept up into this fictional world and i didn’t want to come back to reality.
Book three picks up exactly where book two had ended. Temperance had watched the man she was falling in love with kill her only family she had left. Drowning in grief, she doesn’t know how to move forward. There are so many questions that are left unanswered. But things aren’t always what they seem and Temperance is in for a surprise of a lifetime…will she be able to hold it all together as secrets and lies are exposed?
Ms.March’s writing was exceptional in Rogue Royalty. I literally devoured this book, addicted to her words and was unable to put it down. I was taken on such a WILD ride and I needed to know the answers to my questions. These characters were brilliant. I highly highly recommend reading this trilogy. I am so excited to see what Ms.March comes up with next!
I’m always nervous about the ending of a series and whether it will live up to my expectations. I never should have doubted Meghan March! This book delivers an emotional punch that left me breathless!
As always, Meghan March does an amazing job at character development. She continued to add depth to the characters flawlessly. Even parts that could have come across cheesy didn’t because the author owns it. She really embraced relationship building. It was also amazing to see the interaction between the main characters and secondary characters. The world building continued to be realistic.
Regarding the storyline itself there’s so much I want to say but can’t. What I can say is she took me on an emotional rollercoaster. The best books always make me feel like I’ve gone through an emotional wringer and she definitely delivered on that. It also flowed extremely well. Meghan March always delivers on the unexpected and she exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t put it down.
5 stars for an emotional, twisted story! Highly recommend!
When the reality of your world comes crashing down, how do you find the strength to continue on? Temperance is trying to pick up the pieces of her life. Shattered at the events that have led her to be in this precarious state. Dispair, heartache, and sadness envelopes Temperance in her daily life. Finding the strength to overcome….the desire to move beyond the chains that were holding her back. Just when the light begins to shine at the end of the tunnel, Temperance is shattered to her core once again.
Get ready for another wild ride that will envelope Temperance and those around her. Nothing is as it seems, and the unraveling of the secrets surrounding the underworld of New Orleans only gets more tangled. Temperance leans on her friends for support, but finds herself making decisions she never thought possible. It’s a journey for Temperance that she will never forget, and fans of the series will enjoy the depth at which the plot involves other characters that everyone has enjoyed from the author’s other series.
Nothing will ever be the same in New Orleans, and Temperance is standing at the center of all the turmoil. Where will her path lead? Only time will tell if she can overcome and find love on the other side of tragedy. The plot will lead fans on twists and turns that take on an interesting ‘take’ from the events that have unfolded in the previous books. While I did see a lot of the plot twists coming, I still found Rogue Royalty a great end to Temperance’s story (and the trilogy).
What an incredibly exciting conclusion to this trilogy! Rogue Royalty picks right up where Iron Princess left us speechless and I’m surprised, shocked, thrilled and so freaking happy at what I just read!
There’s sooooo much that can be given away. With the shocking twists, thrilling events and touching moments that I MUST vague review this so you won’t have any spoilers! If I can tell you one thing I would tell you to go into this series as blind as you can!!! Just read all the words!
This author has become a favorite of mine and I will read ANYTHING she writes! From the angst, to the steam rising from the pages, to the beautiful moments…she never ceases to amaze me with ALL THE FEELS that always seem to pour out of me.
I fell in love with these characters and with an ending to their story like this…I never want it to end! As sad as I am
to see them done I’m looking forward to future books from this user talented author! Go forth and read!!!
One of the things you need to know about Meghan March’s books: it isn’t over until it’s over. Her devising, plotting and scheming never fail to knock me off my seat and leave my jaw stuck firmly on the floor. Just when I thought I’d be able to breathe easy and my heart can finally calm down, she throws me a curveball and I’m back to holding my breath. It’s unbelievably brilliant and nothing short of mind-blowing. When you get sucked into her world, your surroundings get all blocked out and everything just ceases to exist. You become that engrossed to what you’re reading.
“I don’t deserve her forgiveness, but I want it. I don’t deserve her at all. But that doesn’t stop me from wanting her more than I want my next breath.”
Rogue Royalty is no different at all—it left me stunned speechless more times than I could count. My breath hitched, my palms sweated profusely, and my heart skipped beats like it’s nobody’s business. The characters were forces to be reckoned with and I just basked in every explosive moment they made my heart stop.
“You have to know… there isn’t a goddamned thing I wouldn’t do to keep you safe. You can hate me if you need to, but that will never change the fact that I love you.”
This book—this series—is absolutely remarkable and addictive beyond belief. It’s a page-turner that will have you clinging onto every word and every chapter like your life depends on it. Meghan March has truly mastered the craft of writing anti heroes and you just won’t be able to help but fall head over heels for them. The Savage Trilogy is so obsessively intoxicating, it’s definitely one I won’t be able to stop thinking about for days on end.
I’m going to keep this short because I don’t want to risk spoiling any of the juicy goodness this book has in store for you. Just enjoy the ride, the thrill and the emotions it’ll bring you. Trust me, it’s all worth it. And when you reach the end, you’ll just want to read it all over again.
I read this book in less than one day. Kane and Temperance are fantastic characters!!
I liked this series even better that Mount and Keira’s story!!!
Sacrifice.
Sacrifice for Kane is giving up everything to protect his mom as a young man. For wanting to give it up all over again for the woman he loves.
Sacrifice for Temperance is giving up a part of her soul, her heart, for success. She’s passionate about her metal sculptures, family and a man who sees to the very depths of her soul.
Is the sacrifice to great? To lose what they have before they’ve declared their love? Before she can find that passion she lost and put it into her art. Before he can claim her as his future.
This story has so many twists and turns. Desolation and loss. Threats from every direction. Lies from everyone you hold dear. Friendships. Hope. Future. Love and happiness. It’s a journey. Forward and back. And ultimately, the past shaping the most wondrous, unexpected future.
Rogue Royalty far exceeded my expectations!!
WOW! A perfect ending to an awesome series! Like the other 2 books, I think that this one is better going in blind so I am not gonna say too much. But as always, Meghan gives good anti-hero and sassy heroine and Kane and Tempe definitely do not disappoint. And she keeps it fresh, just when you think that you have it figured out she throws a huge curve at ya. Too many “I totally didn’t see that coming” moments to count. Total roller coaster of emotions making it hard to put it down until your done.
Another awesome thing that this series is set in the same anti-hero world as the Mount Trilogy. So, though it is not necessary to read those three first it will give you an understanding of who some of the major players are. Also, Valentina quickly folded Temperance into the Girl Crew of the Beneath Series (which is one of the BEST SERIES EVER!) so you get to visit some old friends.
So read them ALL!
This ending is everything I was looking for and more! The cliffhanger we got at the end of Iron Princess was a major killer (no pun intended) and i was totally taken back within the first few chapter of reading Rogue Royalty. I was really beginning to worry because we all know Meghan March really knows how to through a major twist in there. Thankfully we all got our major twist in a totally different way and to find out you must ready this book. These characters, Temperance and Kane just keep getting better and better in every book and the chemistry they share together just makes reading about them that much better. I love being able to see how much Temperance has grown from Savage Prince from the women who wasn’t sure about putting her art out there and stepping out there and being her true self to this beautiful and incredible women taking a chance and truly living. Kane has really changed and grown himself and watching his feeling for Temperance grown and make him into a better man was incredible. Of course all the crazy twists and turns we run in along the way are always fun to see and im always so excited about diving because i never know where the stories or the characters will take me. The ending to this story was so intense and mind blowing i still cant stop thinking about. I love this trilogy and is one of my top reads of this year!
