Checkmate #5
Rise of the King
Eighteen months ago, my world was tossed upside down amid horrified screams and merciless hellfire. I was thrown into the flames to burn alive, but now I stand on the other side, invincible, untouchable, and un-f*cking-beatable.
Today, the ID in my wallet says John D. Hamilton. It’s the name I go by, the name the beautiful brunette sitting alone in Ginnie’s diner knows me as.
I was an undercover cop, once. A decorated agent who slid from my throne and descended into a world of pain and darkness.
Then came Sophia Solomon, the light in my dark, the miracle who walks past my door and lends a little warmth in the dead of winter.
Sophia‘s beauty steals the breath from my lungs. She draws me in just by existing, but she doesn’t know my secrets.
I wasn’t born with the first name John, but then again, I wasn’t born a cocaine addict either, but here we are and both are true.
Now I’m on a mission to find the man that had me killed.
Rise Of The King is a Checkmate Series suspenseful romance. It’s a compete standalone and has no cliffhanger. New readers can start here. But beware, not everything is as it seems.

Best. Freakin. Ever
This is by far my favorite of the Checkmate Series!
I totally have a new girl crush, if Soph was real, let me tell ya, I’d leave my husband for that woman in a heartbeat. Emilia can write badass ladies like no other!
The action is non-stop, the feels are intense and the romance is silly and sexy (which is my favorite kind).
Love. Love. Love this book

Wasn't sure!
For the first 75% of the book I just wasn't sure if it was reading. I figured out who Ace was early on but other than that nothing really happened besides a couple of killings.
Now as far as the last 25% that was a whole different story. The top bad guy I didn't figure out. It was nice to see the brothers together again. Sophia is so strong for crying out loud I kind of want to marry her. In my eyes she's too dog and pulling all the strings it's good to see her get a happy ending and justice.

Predictable and boring
November 29, 2025
4 stars, 2 on the spice scale.
I’m determined to make my way through Emilia Finn’s backlist because I adore her writing style and the way she builds her worlds. Her characters always feel so real — like people you could bump into in everyday life and instantly befriend. That said, this installment didn’t land as well for me compared to others in the series.
I was really excited for Jay’s story, especially since he’s Kane’s brother (who I love, love, love) and his fate has been hanging over the series since book one. But while the setup promised intensity and intrigue, the execution left me a little disappointed. Jay has that wild, over-the-top energy that makes him memorable, but he just didn't measure up to Kane, and at times it felt like a weaker echo of what I loved in earlier books.
The plot itself is packed with action, secrets, and big reveals, and there’s no denying Emilia Finn knows how to keep the tension high. But despite the twists, I found myself reading in smaller bursts rather than being completely hooked. By the end, while the story ties threads together and delivers closure, I was left wishing for a bit more depth and impact.
Overall, this is a solid read, but not my favorite in the series.

Another 5⭐️ read in the Checkmate series. I love the cross over's in each of Emilia's books. She is a truly brilliant author
November 9, 2019
I love all Emilia's books! I love her writing style; I love the way she writes all the characters with so much depth and personality that they feel real and you want them in your life; I love the humor that laces through all the books. The stories are varied and have more kick to them than your standard recycled recipe styles of some other authors.
Although the books are all linked (in that they are set in the same place and the players all interact to some degree throughout the multiple books), they can all be read as a standalone. That said, you'll miss out if you don't meet some of the awesome characters in their supporting roles along the way. Not to mention the little Easter eggs littered throughout.
'Rise of the King' is my absolute favourite so far. I absolutely adore the main couple and desperately want our heroine to be my BFF.
If you're yet read any of Emilia's books, search 'Finding Home' (Book 1 of the Rollin On series) to kick off. That leads into the Survivor series and then onto the Checkmate series. You won't be sorry!

"Sophia Solomon was sunlight in a dark world and brought my aching brain comfort when little else could. Where everyone else was dark and painful, she was light and easy."
[lady gaga's voice]: talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, etc.
seriously i can't explain how much i loved this book and these characters. #5 and Sophia are my babies, i loved each of their interactions, their relationship, they as an individual, the breadcrumbs in the other books, gah! I LOVE THEM, period.
April 13, 2020
Oh boy! Amazing as always. I have to say, this is probably my most favourite book out of the Checkmate Series. I always enjoy Emilia’s style of writing, the characters always have so much personality and depth, it just feels like they’re real life. Reading this, I cried because obviously. (Mind you it was 3am and I’m running on no sleep) And I don’t wanna ruin but I GUESSED IT a few chapters before it happened and I was still shell shocked, and I literally threw my kindle to the other side on my couch. You’ll know what I mean when you get there ;) Carrying on with the next one in line.
August 30, 2025
There are reviews that say this is the best of this series. Ummm… the lonely star I gave it and the fact that this is the 1st and last book of this author that I will ever read should tell you everything there is to say about this travesty of a book. Lemme add just this: Nothing makes any sense!!!
November 15, 2019
I enjoyed most of the story. I did think the hero was maybe in a little danger of an STD and maybe a little crude but overall it was ok.
February 2, 2020
Way too predictable...I knew who CAB was...I knew who Ace was...ok story overall...just disappointing that it was way too easy to figure out
October 17, 2025
This was an intriguing concept but had a very rough start for me. I was pretty put-off by the MMC's interactions with the FMC. It was crude and not endearing at all. He didn't know her so it was just really gross behavior for a while.
So that, and the issues with transitional sentences in the writing (and continuity errors) had me wanting to DNF, but the idea of this 'good guy turned bad but really he's good even though he's an addict and murderer' was compelling enough for me to put in the work and stick through it.
The FMC was pretty great. She was smart and strong and a total force. When the MMC breaks into her apartment and she screams at him about her safety and how he stole something from her (her security), I loved it. It is a real thing for women to be concerned about and this scene laid out those very real feelings that women have over their safe space no longer being safe.
Even though our FMC is a total badass and she rages against the misogyny machine, the sexism in the book is WILD. Whenever the MMC or, later on, the rest of the crew, talk about women, they are 'othered'. It's really bad the first half of the book when we are constantly in the MMC's POV and he's talking about how he gets around. Any hole's a goal. It's not that he "hates women", he just doesn't really see them as equals, more like props in his life.
At about 45% things get better because the plot starts plotting. The first half is setup with the backstory, introducing the players, and getting our MCs together. Then, action starts. Things get more interesting and the MMC becomes much more enjoyable to be in his POV. There are a couple of twists but I felt they were pretty easy to figure out and wasn't surprised by the reveals. Still, it was pretty fun.
I was torn in wanting to read the rest of the series (I read this one first) because the parallel timeline of events across all the different people sounded fun to explore and the individual stories sound interesting... but this book wasn't good enough to have me wanting to invest in the whole series. I just went and read reviews with spoilers so I could get the gist and now I am moving on with my life. :)

All I can say is thank goodness Emilia did not leave Jay Bishop dead. His loss really hurt in Book 1 and then again in Book 3. Jay is freaking hilarious and always has a witty comeback. His devotion to Kane is both heartbreaking and touching. Heartbreaking because he feels such an intense responsibility and misplaced guilt for how things went down. Touching because he is just as fiercely protective and loyal as Kane and will stop at nothing to ensure Kane’s safety.
Sophia is a badass and I’m kinda in love with her too. This is the start of Sophia in the Emilia Finn universe but she will continue to pop up everywhere. She’s always in the know and sometimes stirring up trouble. Personally impacted by the likes of Abel Hayes, Sophia will stop at nothing to bring justice to her sister and tear down the empire that caused her death. Sophia and Jay are kindred spirits and truly a perfect match for each other. They both balance and spur on each others crazy.
This book is a wild ride full of mystery, suspense, and an overdue reunion.
- He falls first
- Romantic Suspense
- Cinnamon Roll hero
- mafia ties

I rally liked this one. Turns out Jay isn ot dead after all. The Bishop brtoher from the first in the series. I like this series and I like his devotion and the witty banter in this book. He is in hiding looking to revenge his own unsuccesful killer. He meets a girl at the dinner and finds out she lives in the same builidng as him. It takes him a while but he finally realizes that the girl he has been chasing is rich and actually his secret boss that he thought was a male. She is a genius and badass and he falls in love with her. He helps her find her sisiters killer and who is responisble for raping, beating and killing her sister. Lots of angst and the story is sad. She and her sister were dancers and she quits dancing after her sister is killed. She becomes the best computer hacker and impresses Jay. Jay has his brother in his reach and he wants to go to him but he may blow everything she was working on. He helps her find herself again. Its a great story.

Feeling the Love
This was an amazing story of the power of love. Jay and Sophia, both motivated by the love for their siblings, worked together to bring down the bad guys. They used their love for one another to find their way out of the darkness and heal. I've been reading all of Emilia Finn's stories in order and they just keep getting better and better. I even think the Bishop brothers have trumped the Kincaids as my favorite. I just can't get enough of these books!
Note: Technically this book can be read as a standalone BUT Emilia Finn does an amazing job of developing her characters throughout her stories and then they continue to be included in each book. I highly suggest getting to know them by starting with the Rollin On series and reading the books in order or at the very least start with book 1 of this series.

Rounding up to 5 stars because this book was a pleasant surprise. I went into it with middling expectations and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The MCs are delightful; funny and smutty and so connected. They fall for each other so easily and naturally. I hate to call their conversations “banter” because I hate 99% of books that use “banter” as a descriptor. But this author pulls it off without being annoying and quirky.
I know it’s weird to jump into a series on the fifth book…it’s just a thing I do. While technically a standalone, there were a ton of references to other plots and characters. Based on how much I enjoyed this book, I’ll probably go read some of the others in the series.

This is a Dark Romantic Suspense, and this is the 5th book in the Checkmate series. I have read the first four books in this series before picking up this book. I do think you would get more for this book if you read at least the first book in this series before picking up this book, but I really think this series is best to read in order. This series is a Dark Romance series, so it covers hard hitting stuff/hard to read, so you should look into triggers before picking it up. I loved this book, and this one is my favorite one so far. The MMC is now my favorite character in this book, and the FMC is so bad a**. That is all I can say because this book is one big spoiler if I say anything more.

I skipped books 2-4 in the series because I cared more about the male protagonist in the book based on what I knew about him from Book 1 of the series. It has hard to read some of this, but it has some hard stuff as the basis of the plot. I figured out the mystery about 2/3 of the way in and I got really frustrated at the protagonists (like they were real people who could hear me, right?) when they couldn't figure it out.
I will probably read books 2-4, 6 but it is hard subject matter that drive the plots in the pandemic world I need something lighter.

So intense
I absolutely love Jay and Sophia's dynamic. They have great chemistry and make an awesome couple. Their banter and emotional connection was amazing. I loved listening to their conversations and jokes. They are so good together. Jay never loses his funny, joking personality even though he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Sophia has been my favorite heroine so far! I didn't think I could like anyone more than Jess, but Sophia is badass. Her and Jay make the best couple.

A One Click Read!!
Rise Of The King will blow your mind in all the good ways. Finn gives us humor, angst, suspense, mystery, tears and so much more. I am loving this series and it's crazy characters. I will not tell you more because this book is meant to be read without knowing the spoilers. I highly recommend Reading this series in order because in order to truly appreciate Rise Of The King you have to read Pawn in a Bishop's Game... and then all about Riley Cruz before you hit the King. Happy Reading!!

A fabulous ending to (one backstory) running through the first 5 books in the series. Best not read this one as a stand alone either, as you need to read these from the beginning so the tension can build. They are all available in KU, by the way. There are 3 more books in the series, so I have no clue what direction it's taking other than a couple more of our heros end up with HEAs. This book is well written, full of suspense, drama, action, steamy scenes, family and some dark themes - with a bit of fun added in.

Ah-Mazing
I LOVE this series. I love how the first 5 books were so intertwined. You read separate stories that follow each couple, but they all build to the bigger story. Jay is possibly my favorite character of this series (to date) and Sophia is a BA without screaming over the top, hard hitting girl power. She kicks butt and takes names and does it because that is who she is, all within the frame of a dancer. Brain, beauty and poise, a fantastic match for Jay. Can't wait to read the next books in the series!

I loved this book when I read it a few years ago and enjoyed it again!
Please make sure you read Pawns by Emilia Finn before this book if you are someone that doesn’t tend to read series in order. Pawns starts lays the foundation of who a majority of the characters are in this book, Rise of the King.
I loved getting to know badass, brilliant Sophia and enjoyed how Jay was able to charm his way into her heart. This is a book about people fighting heinous crimes, about family, and a bit of humor and a happily ever after.

John and Ace
I love that John is a dirty mouth jokester and Ace is a bada** with a heart of gold. Another win from Emilia that keeps you feeling like you’re there even if sometimes you really don’t wanna because it hurts. As this is a reread for me (I honestly don’t know how many times I’ve read this) I’m so surprised Ace doesn’t figure out the ending all on her own. If you’re new to Emilia I recommend going back to the beginning with the Rollers but starting with Kane in this series will work out just fine.

Badass and Oh So Good. Couldn't Put it Down.
Truly my favourite story in all the Checkmate series and I love all of them. If you love badass women, this is def for you. I can totally relate to Sophia's character and I absolutely adore Jay's. In keeping with when Jay was introduced before, his character remained true but we saw the sweet side on this book. I really enjoyed this. Definitely couldn't out this one down.

Full house, Aces
J is so raunchy and ironically charming simultaneously. He is born and bred muscle with the utmost skill. Ace is genius level smart and leads with an iron fist. Soph is sassy and graceful. Together they make a heck of a team.
Oooh, the events in this tale! I honestly am not sure which book or man i like more- not that you could make a move 'cause their women are just as lethal (and a bit on the crazy side).

Soul touching
Ever feel lost in a sea of people you know? Ever feel like nobody sees you when you see everyone? This book is full of answers and plot twists. It falls in line with the rest of the people you have fallen in love with. I don't want to reveal to much but this is a must read. Don't read it out of order or this book won't make sense. This book reminds you that when you feel the most alone, is when someone is loving you the most.

When the reviews say the FMC is a “badass”, I would call this a strong female lead - or at least this is what I would hope a strong FMC would be defined as. However I guess after reading several spicy books with alpha male, this FMC does have to be differentiated. Needless to say, would LOVE to read more spicy books with I guess I need to call it “badass” FMC with an alpha male.
