Meghan March

Defiant Queen

Martha McLendon

After the ending in Ruthless King I was shaking with anticipation to find out what happened in Defiant Queen. I thought I couldn't be surprised more than I already was with the last book but this one blew Ruthless King out of the water. Seriously not only has Meghan March mastered the art of a cliffhanger to end all cliffhanger but now that she's dipping her toes into the anti-hero, darker side of New Orleans, I can't help but admire how natural it feels to see a darker side of Meghan's brain. I really can't help but to fall in love with her writing even more. Defiant Queen will put you through a gambit of emotions and if you're not screaming at the end there is something wrong with you. If anyone needs me I'll be over here trying to keep busy waiting for Sinful Empire!! 

"Don't do this to me!! I can't handle this Meghan!" words I screamed to my kindle. :)

Defiant Queen is the second book in the Mount Trilogy, and it pretty much sets off after book one. So I was really intrigued to see what Meghan March would give us in book two and how she would end it. Thankfully, I had prepared myself for a crazy cliffhanger and so I was kinda ready for anything but still, all the preparedness in the world would never have prepared me for what Meghan March did to my emotions in this book. Now I will warn you all that this book isn't for everyone. It has a darker theme and deals with a big anti-hero so it's not easy to read at times. And even though I don't love the hero yet, I am starting to see some redeemable qualities to him. The heroine, however, I just love. She isn't afraid of Mount in the way that everyone else is. Its like on some inner level she knows no matter what he won't harm her physically or her family or those she cares about. There is quite a bit of HOT and STEAMINESS in this story. So watch out because its hot enough to steam the windows...literally.  I did like seeing more depths to Mount's character though and more emotional depth to their relationship as a whole. We start to see Mount come to terms with how much he cares for Keira. He is slowly starting to stop fighting his feelings for her and accept it as it is.
 
  
    
      I see Keira Kilgore exactly for what she's becoming - the one woman who might be strong enough to stand by my side and rule an empire
    
  
 
And the ways that he supports her in her dreams and hopes for the future especially in her distillery business. We definitely have a chance to see a new side to Mount that I have come to love this side although we don't this more kind and understanding side of him as often as I want but hopefully book three will have more of that. I can't wait for book three because the way this book ended made me wish that I had waited to read these books until December...oh well....damage is done and now I will be counting down the days until book three's release. Meghan March has written a highly erotic and stunningly emotionally riveted romance that pulled me in like a magnet!! SIMPLY BREATHTAKING!!

really thought she'd get rid of him, given the title. i was wrong. this is still heterosexual garbage.

Honestly kinda annoyed that the story is split into three books, especially when each book (at least so far) is pretty short. Book 1 was GREAT, but Defiant Queen was a bit of a let down because nothing really happened until the last few chapters. But... the sex is HOT!!
