Book Review and Giveaway for Defiant Queen by Meghan March

DEFIANT QUEEN
by MEGHAN MARCH

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 . . .

REVIEW: 4 STARS

"Mount is turning me into an addict, stripping me of control of my own body and compelling me to hand it over willingly at the same time."

Well, for being the second book in a trilogy, this one had plenty to offer and it definitely didn't feel like a filler book....thank gosh!!! I think I honestly liked this book better than the first one, and I really enjoyed the first one. I loved the fact that this one gave me a more inside look at what makes Mount tick. I got to know the emotional side to him and I really liked getting to know him on an intimate level, but also the fact that more questions were answered, and of course, more were asked as well. So much was done, so much was said, so much was learned....but so much still has to be accounted for with this couple and this story. I am thoroughly enjoying this story and am so glad that Meghan's writing has been easy to follow throughout, in turn allowing me to fall into this story and letting it whisk me away. Literally an easy read; I started reading and next thing I knew, I was at 59%. It reads so fluidly. It really is nice to get immersed in a book and you lose track of time.

But, alas, being the second book, there isn't a lot that I can tell you that won't give away too much of the first (especially if you are waiting to read the entire series at once) and not spoil this one as well. I do know that this book allowed me to fall more in love with Mount's reasons for doing what he does, but that deeper look into his childhood and psyche was a sad, sad reality. With the cliffie from book one being as jaw-dropping as it was, I didn't like how that one thing buttoned up so quickly, but I think that also showed me the power that Mount wields without abandon. The ability to take care of anything and everything, without a single soul to answer to, definitely proves how far his reach goes. In a way, that just solidifies the earned fear that the darker side has for him. Some good with the bad, I suppose.

"Maintain control. That's what I do, and I can't let Keira Kilgore change that." 

I will say this, while Keira is desperately trying to gain a foothold in her line of work and maintaining her pride while doing so, Mount is trying to help her in the only way he knows how. But, I giggle while saying this: not always does Mount know best. I like that "G" was there to help him out and learn him a few things. I will admit....this couple has a lot of learning to do together. But holy cow, that learning will be both HOT and SEXY, as well as combustible!! With Keira still questioning her attraction to him, but also giving into said attraction, it sure makes for reading their sexy scenes a good time. *wink*wink*

Once again, with another cliffie holding me hostage, I am awaiting Sinful Empire with bated breath. December 19th is thankfully a quick month away. I love that Meghan chose to have these all release a month apart, giving us just enough room to squirm with anticipation while breathing a sigh of relief knowing the wait isn't too long. 

"Mount is breaking my rules one at a time, and with each one, I lose a part of the woman I've always been, but gain a piece of the woman I never knew I could be."
