Defiant Queen by Meghan March Review

5 Smooches

Synopsis

The Mount Trilogy continues with Defiant Queen… 

I’m his entertainment. His toy. Payment on a debt.
I tell myself I hate him, but every time he walks into the room, my body betrays me. How can I want him and fear him in the same moment?
They told me he’d mess with my head. Make it go to war with my body.
But I didn’t realize it would be complete anarchy.
I should’ve known better. When Mount’s involved, there are no rules.
I will not surrender. I will not show weakness. I’ll stand my ground and make it out of this bargain with my heart and soul intact.
But he has other plans . . .

Defiant Queen is the second book of the Mount Trilogy, and should be read following Ruthless King. Mount and Keira’s story concludes in Sinful Empire.

Review

Mount and Keira’s story continues in the second book of this story. Mount may own her body while this debt is being paid off but Keira refuses to let Mount own anything more of her including her heart. Mount thinks he knows what he wants from Keira, but what started out as a simple, delicious, sexy, dirty debt is turning out to be something a lot more complicated! 

“By the time the tires hit the runway and the jet comes to a halt in front of the hangar, I’ve come to terms with something that terrifies me more than anything else ever has. I don’t hate Lachlan Mount.”

What a great series this is turning out to be. Defiant Queen was dirty, hot, domineering, sexy and full of twists and turns. If you loved Ruthless King- you are not going to be disappointed with Defiant Queen! 

“Keira pushes me, fraying the edges of my control, which is something I’ve never allowed anyone to do.”

One of the things I loved about this book was that we delved deeper into Mount’s past and we start to understand why he is the man he is today. I like Mount in the first book and this made me love him even more. But don’t worry, we still have our sexy, domineering, dirty and moody Mount from the first book. Keira is just such a fierce female lead! She really does stand up for herself despite Mount being so intimidating. She won’t let him walk all over her and she will give as good as she gets from him! She’s feisty and she can give as good as she gets from Mount. She can also be just as dirty as Mount can be! 

“I’m just a game to you.” Her words are fuel on the fire already burning in me. “You don’t have a goddamned clue what you are to me. You don’t know a fucking thing.”

As we had with Ruthless King, we are thrown straight into a rollercoaster of a story. Twists, turns, surprises and one hell of a shocking ending meant this was one fast paced book. We have the whirlwind of Mount and Keira’s confusing and slightly twisted relationship to deal with but Keira and Mount have a lot more issues than just their complicated feelings for each other. Dangers and obstacles are coming from all angles for these two. A really shocking ending that had me gripping my kindle until my fingers turned white and I now desperately need the next one!
