Infatuation is a dangerous thing.It devours you. Manipulates you. Owns you.You can try to ignore it, try to move past it. But it’s more powerful than you. It won’t let go.The day I first saw him, infatuation dug its claws into my soul. I couldn’t stop it. Everything faded. Except him.My infatuation blinded me. Made me see what it wanted me to see. Now I’m lost within the lie. Caged by the beast.… within the lie. Caged by the beast.
In the end, he will have me.
Until then…I fight.
~ Author’s note: Defiant is the second book in the American Street Kings series, and should be read after Depraved. ~

Defiant is the second book in the American Street Kings MC saga, and it is a perfect continuance to the first book, Depraved. It does conclude but leaves open future adventures.
The push and pull between Alyx and Granite continues but with a deeper meaning, leading towards life-altering decisions on the part of both of them. I loved this story; it rang true and believable, and it made me want for these two to finally find their peace and happiness together. And to me, this is a sign of good fiction. Bella made me care; her writing drew me in and held me until the end.
The secondary characters are just as intriguing as the main characters. Will Ink and (?…no spoilers from me!) finally get together? How does Onyx hold up through the coming changes? Manic and Dutch, what happens to them? And Slither… now there’s a villain of truly degrading proportions. The entire cast of characters is fascinating, each deserving of a book of their own. So good, this story, don’t miss out. Highly recommended.
5 bad ass stars!!! I am in love with this book!!
This is book how on the “American Street King’s” series and can not be read as a stand alone. This book continues on right from where “Depraved” left off. Alyx and Granite’s story continues on…
First of all, this series is crazy good. I am in love with some American King’s!! I need all their stories right now!! This book brought me closer to Onyx and Ink. I’m am so fucking intrigued. Alyx and Granite are still perfect. I love the dark with the light. I love how he has tainted her slightly. It’s all so damn hot!! Speaking of hot.. Granite is that and then some. He is what wet dreams are made of!!
“Are you not one of the bad guys?” …..
“My sweet ballerina girl, I’m far worse.”
Alyx has grown so much and found herself. Yea she has this heart that ends up letting her try and destroy herself for wrong doings of others but she is a beautiful woman. I wasn’t so sure about her before but I think she is just what Granite needed. These two are flammable when together!!
This book was perfectly broken. It broke your heart, gave you hope, made you angry, made you hot and sweaty, made you laugh and so much more. This is one of my favorites from Bella. She is a great author and I love all the twisted shit she puts out. This is a definite must read series. And I can not wait for more!!
**I received this book as an ARC and in return gave my honest review**
Defiant is the second book in the American Street Kings series and this book is gritty, raw and packed full of chaos and mayhem. Granite will show us that underneath that hard exterior hides the heart of a lion. Alyx will be consumed by guilt and it will take Granite having his hand forced to disclose the truth that may just release her from this. As an obsession with each other becomes so much more, this ride to acceptance might just be one full of unexpected twists and turns. Their story will have you on the edge of your seat and hanging on tight. It packs a punch and has you holding your breath right to the very end. This book is bold, sexy and has these characters not only showing strength but also vulnerability. Granite and Alyx may not have chosen the easy ride to love but these two will have you falling in love right along side them. I put my lid on, swing my leg over the bike and wrap my arms around the American Street Kings because thankfully the ride with the brothers is far from over.
