Overruled

The Defiant Kings, Book 4

By: Bella Matthews

Narrated by: Gabriel Spires, Heather Firth

"You gonna catch me if I fall, Becks?"

I should have known those words, whispered to my best friend's brother, would come back to haunt me... But I had no idea he'd be the only one who could save me when my world threatened to come crashing down.

Becket Kingston is a lot of things. Tall, dark, and deliciously handsome, he's corded muscle hidden beneath an expensive suit with eyes the color of an angry ocean and a sharp tongue good for so many things.

And this future US Senator with a brain even bigger than his bank account is about to be my fake husband.

It was supposed to be easy... until it wasn't. This relationship we carefully curated for the public has become something completely different behind closed doors—and the occasional open ones.

I knew we needed to lie to everyone we loved to pull this off.

But how long can we lie to ourselves?

Loved Jules & Becks!!

I love this world so much! Jules and Beckett were so perfect together… great chemistry, fantastic banter, authentic emotion! The narration was chef’s kiss! Having read the newer second generation books, it was fun to go back and see how Easton and Kenzie became part of the extended family!

Becks is Everything

I have been waiting for Becks to get his own story and it was beyond my expectations. I love that Jules is able to push him and vice versa. Their beginning is full of trauma and pain, but they heal and fall fast. It's another five star for Bella!

Great addition to the series!

p.s. Easton's book comes later and it's called the Keeper! it's been my favorite of all time!

Charming & Cupcake

Much like Jace’s book I was so excited to finally get Bec’s book! The plot in theory was one I would eat up. However the execution let me kind of meh. I enjoyed a lot about this story, but I just didn’t love it. The narrators like with the other books put on fantastic performances!

Fake (or maybe not) marriage

I always enjoy a fake marriage trope. Throw in best friend’s brother, unexpected kids, and this book has it all!

I liked it all

It was a very good book. I enjoyed listening to it. I highly recommend it.

This family

How can you not love them? And Becket and Jules are perfect together, even with the unusual rout to hea

Beckett Kingston is a King

Loved the narrators for this! They really brought the story to life!

This is one of my favorites in the entire Kroydon world. I love how Becks does exactly what’s needed and he slowly realizes that Juliet and the kids are his. He does whatever it takes to protect them and give them all the support they need! I loved how Sam came to play in this story too, and how he took care of Juliet when he was sharing all the information with her! One thing about the Kingstons is they are LOYAL!
