We first meet Allison in Olivia's last book, Her Sinners. She is the daughter of Agent Hill, the FBI agent who was working with Olivia and Danielle. Allison's fate ended on a cliffhanger at the end of Her Sinners. She is a character in Danielle and Lucy's books, too, since they were all trafficked together. (Her Outlaw and Her Defender, respectively)

Her Rebel opens up with Allison and one of the other trafficked women, Michelle, locked in a shack in Brazil. Ice has tracked them across the world and helps them escape. Immediately, there is chemistry between Ice and Allison.

Allison hopes to get right back to her life back in Georgia, but she finds that everything has changed. Her father, once her hero, is now an alcoholic and married to a former club whore. Her plans for becoming a doctor are sidelined. She feels guilty for coming out of 6 months of captivity still an untouched virgin, while her friends were all brutally assaulted again and again.

She decides to take charge of her life in a surprising way, forging a new and unexpected path forward. Is this the right choice for her? Where does Ice fit in with her plans?

Allison's crazy plan aside, the Allison/Ice relationship really heats up, and it is SPICY!!! This is, by far, the best part of the book.

This was an interesting installment in the Devil's Regents saga. I'm pretty sure it is the final book, considering there were multiple epilogues stretching as far as 15 years into the future.

Spoilers below...



I had a hard time with this book because Allison and Michelle seemed to be acting totally normal hours (YES, HOURS) after being rescued from a trafficking ring. (not to mention Michelle literally gave birth right before her escape, also)

And how does Allison recover from her traumatic ordeal? Well, you would never guess in a million years. Since her virginity was the single thing that the traffickers cared about, she decides to auction her virginity off to a member of the Devil's Regents. And then, she plans to work as a Club Whore for the Devil's Regents. This came out of left field. She was shy and easily embarrassed in Brazil. This action doesn't fit with her personality.

The sad thing is that Saint, the prez of the DR, and our darling Olivia agree to this arrangement. Therapy? Anyone? Olivia and her guys were all in therapy by the end of her trilogy. I feel like the author could have given us a really good look into Allison's destructive behavior, put us in her shoes, could have made it really angsty and insane. Alas, that did not occur.

Her arrangement with Ice was super hot. I understand why he wouldn't commit to her. He doesn't want his girlfriend to be a prostitute and he doesn't want to share her.

I feel like everyone was just letting Allison make her own decisions, like she was perfectly well-adjusted and mentally sane. The club prostitutes and general promiscuity were so normalized at the MC that no one blinked twice at the situation. What great "friends" she has! (eye roll) Al eventually realized on her own that she was using sex to avoid actually dealing with her trauma, and she corrected her course.

Overall, it was a good read and wrapped up the series, I suppose. I am curious about Michelle and her baby, as well as other DR members. Maybe there are more books out there.

P. S. The reading order is not clear, so here it is. (at least it's not clear on Goodreads...)

Her Saviors (Olivia, Saint, King, Razor and Bash)
Her Saints (Olivia, Saint, King, Razor and Bash)
Her Sinners (Olivia, Saint, King, Razor and Bash)
Her Outlaw (Danielle and Hawk)
Her Defender (Lucy and Titan)
Her Rebel (Allison and Ice)

This book was absolutely phenomenal, especially that ending! It left me completely breathless and wanting more. The development of Ice and Allison's relationship was perfection. Their dynamic was so captivating, and I couldn't get enough of their interactions. Ice was the epitome of an alpha male – phew! The way he handled everything as a true Devil's Regent was incredibly impressive and swoon-worthy.

The push and pull between Ice and Allison throughout the story created such intense chemistry; it was undeniably hot and kept me on the edge of my seat. Each chapter was filled with angst and drama, drawing me deeper into their world. The emotional and heartfelt moments resonated deeply, making this story a thousand times more epic and unforgettable.

Ice truly embodied everything you could want in an alpha male and so much more. Knowing he was a Devil's Regent, I had high expectations, and he exceeded them. It definitely comes with the title! Beyond the central romance, the female characters were also incredibly badass. The strong sense of camaraderie and girl gang vibes was fantastic, and I couldn't help but have a total girl crush on them.

I anticipated loving Ice and Allison's story, but I never imagined I would fall so completely and rapidly for such a sweet, awe-inspiring, and heartbreakingly emotional rollercoaster. Their journey was so well-crafted and immersive.

I am genuinely sad that their story has come to an end. I could easily reread about these compelling men and their amazing ladies over and over again. With its perfect blend of alpha intensity, raw emotions, and deeply heartfelt moments, you won't be able to resist being drawn into Ice and Allison's world. They will take you on a captivating journey that will hold your attention and emotions until the very last page!

Gah this book, that ending phenomenonal.

Ice and Allison were perfection.
I couldn't get enough, talk about alpha. Phew Ice handled that like a true Devils Regent.

These two were push and pull through out and that chemistry. Damn it was hot AF!

I loved the angst and drama behind each chapter, the emotional and heartfelt made it a thousand times more worthy of the epic-ness it was.

Ice was everything you wanted in an alpha man and more, I knew he would be I mean duh, he's a devils Regent it comes with the title.

These chicks are badass, I mean damn woman. Girl gang vibes for sure and totally girl crush.

I knew I would love Ice and Allison, I just never thought I would fall hard and fast for the sweetest, awe-inspiring, heartbreaking emotional rollercoaster that was their story.

I am so sad this is the end. I could read these men and their ladies over and over.


With enough alpha-ness, emotions and heartfelt moments you won't be able to resist Ice and Allison as they take you on a journey keeping you captivated until the very end!

I feel this book was somewhat rushed in the timeline of events. Allison and Michelle are rescued and that's wonderful! But a week or less being back into the states Allison wants to become a club whore and auction off her virginity while everyone is telling her to chill out with the whole thing because she just got rescued from a trafficking ring. She doesn't, hyjinks ensue because of it.

I will say though, the ending IS worth it. It's a very good ending to the series.

[F.e.]

This may be a record. I made it 4% in? You’re kidnapped. Girls are being raped. Your friend might be dead. You’re with a pregnant girl who’s been raped. You get saved by a good looking guy and while he’s carrying you out you think ABOUT AN ORGASM AND MOAN?

Please… no. No more. My soul can’t take any more.

This book was everything. I was so happy to see how Allison overcame everything that was handed to her. She was so strong and I feel like she will give everyone that strength. I loved Ice!!! This was the perfect conclusion to the series!

[Mercedes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Soooo good
Ice and Allison were amazing!!!!
I absolutely loved their story. From start to finish. Ice is tied with Saint for first place in my ranking of the series. I loved the scene with all of the women at the compound protecting one another. Absolutely loved this series.

Excellent

Wonderful story with edgy and suspension for days. What seemed like it was hopeless, turned into romance and bravery for all.
