The story continues and …what a story! It’s fantastic to watch the tables switch as Mount and Kierra realize there is more than steamy sex to their relationship. But wow…even if there wasn’t… HOT!
Rating:
The King of NOLA and his Whiskey Queen!
We all know that New Orleans is a tough city. There people there are hearty and have lived through a lot! They have had hurricanes, even before Katrina, they have had rumors of Vampires even before Anne Rice, they have witches, Voodoo, Santaria, haunted cemeteries and pick pockets and all sorts of crime during Mardi Gras.
But the real underworld of New Orleans is run by the King, Lachlan Mount. Nobody does business in the city without his say. Not the Cartels, the Gangs, the Mafia, the Feds, The Cops, and certainly not some low level con man that came to town and married Kiera Kilgore right out from under his nose.
Mount took care of that problem once but Brett didn’t stay dead so in this book Lachlan gets his chance to take care of Brett in a more permanent way. This book is every bit as good, if not better than Ruthless King. Kiera still continues to fight Mount at every turn because she doesn’t want to be owned by any man. Mount knows that Kiera is submissive and doesn’t see the problem.
I guess he just can’t see the difference between being dominant in the bedroom and taking control of Kiera’s whole life. But in reality he loves that she stands up to him and would be bored with her if she just gave in and let him push her around. That is what makes it so good. For the reader as well as for Mount and Kiera.
This book ends in a huge cliffhanger, which has to do with some other storylines that come up in the book but I don’t want to give too much away. I will say that the romance is just as steamy as book one. There are multiple storylines, and they are all very interesting and involved, so it definitely is holding my interest and I can’t wait to find out what happens next.
Wow loved the second book. It is very instresing and well written. I looking forward to the third book.
WTFH!!!!! I was on the edge of my seat throughout this read due to the intensity and chemistry between Mount and Keira. These two were burning up the pages and had me fanning myself with their sexy as hell encounters. This was definitely an amazing continuation from Ruthless King but will definitely leave you saying “holy shit what the f*ck just happened” so be prepared for one hell of an intense twisty ride!
As I started reading the second book in this series I fell more and more in love with Mount. What can I say BAD BOYS are the best. I love with each turn of the page I get to learn more and more about Mount and Keira. They both are fighting so hard but at the same time they are quickly falling for one another. As I get ready to begin the last book it is with tears in my eyes because even though I want a HEA and I hope I get one I also know the way emotions have been up and down throughout this series. So grab this series, buckle up, and I’m ready to make my final landing into what I know is going to be a MASSIVE book hangover.
Wonderful series
Meghan March draws us into another set of hot and sexy characters in this book. Her books are all page-turners and you will need the next book. Lose an afternoon or a night of sleep reading her books – they are worth it.
That Felt A Lot Shorter Than Book #1Without All The Nerves & Tension!
A Lesson In Wooing!
Defiant Queen (Mount Trilogy #2)
Keira & Mount continue their control & submissive relationship. He’s clearly emotionally invested, against his better judgement. Keira hates his life & what he holds over her head but as time goes on she realises she doesn’t hate him anymore!!
It’s still hot between them & he’s clearly dangerous, but the danger Keira felt towards her & her real fear of him, has mostly abated! It’s much more of a steamy romance now. The cliffhanger is worse in this book so I know I’m a mug & will spend another £4.99 for what amounts to another Novella – that riles me up no end! But I’m a reader, what can I do?? Avoid this Author in future probably, once bitten twice shy!!

This story hooked me from beginning to end. I couldn’t put it down. That ending!
Intense, explosive, and super steamy. A 5+ star read.
The real Lachlan Mount where he started. Where Keira finds her husband not dead. Mount thought he had dealt with him. But he would this time for sure. Mount takes a bit of advise from associates to shift this thing with Keira. When he surprises he with a trip to Dublin things change. Where will all this lead to since there return. Yet going home from the airport unexpected things happen.
Great trilogy
The second book in the trilogy with Mount and Kiera’s story continuing. Mount the King of
New Orleans underworld is falling for Kiera. She has been his captive and is trying to keep
her distillery in New Orleans afloat. The twists and turns of the story keep you riveted.
Meghan March, has outdone herself .
Book 2 of the Mount Trilogy digs deeper into Mount & Keira’s story. Keira continues to be her strong-willed business woman self and we actually get to see more into that side of her in this book. She’s also dropping some of her defenses when it comes to Mount and we see these two become closer than before. As for Mount, his usual cool, calculating and dominating persona is melting away a little at a time as we finally are introduced to another side of him. Don’t get me wrong we all love a good alpha man but it’s nice to see there is another side to this ruthless king. Overall, another excellent and captivating addition to the trilogy that will have you unable to tear your eyes off of it. Fair warning this does end with another cliff hanger so be prepared to jump right into book 3!
This is Book 2 of The Mount Trilogy (The Anti-Heroes Collection)
This is the second part of the story of Mount & Keira. Keira is still defiant, but not as much. Mount is being distracted by her more and more. She is losing, little by little, who she used to be. She is enjoying what Mount does to her even through her defiance. There is no doubt he is dominant over her. He is still ruthless in his business. A number of things happen between them at a slow pace, and things are changing. This second book is turning into a great forbidden love story. It’s a fabulous book. Again, an awesome cliffhanger. I highly recommend this book.
Conflict of Emotions…
Like Lachlan Mount himself this second book in the series had me in it’s powerful grip. Mount is a strong controlling Alpha Male, but we start to see a different side of him when he is with Keira. He is starting to unravel and his strength to remain self assured is starting to weaken. He is fighting this with all his might.
After all Mount has inflicted on Keira, she is at a loss to discover why she is developing feelings for him. She should hate him right? These two are so steaming hot together, you need to have a fire extinguisher at the ready to down the flames. This story is a whirlwind of emotions and on top of this, we are left with an epic cliffhanger. I cannot wait to dive into the conclusion of this couple.
“…he growls a single word in my ear. “Mine.” It’s the scariest thing I’ve ever heard him say, because I’m starting to believe him.”
In this second book of the series Mount started to crash down the walls of my heart. I started to understand the Mount fan club a lot more. I’m now a lifelong member.
“…his mouth finds mine again, taking more than I ever expected to give, and giving me back something I never knew I needed.”
He sees strength, challenge, possibilities, hope, confidence…she she’s a monster, someone to fill her desires she has yet to realize that she craves, her strength is a weakness in his world, she’s light to his dark and they couldn’t be more perfect for one another.
“I thought I could handle him, thought I was strong enough to keep it all together. But I’ve never been more wrong in my life, and it’s going to cost me everything.”
This book is 2nd in trilogy. Lachlan Mount is a street wise kid who was left on the doorsteps. Mount was raised in the system but got out at an early age to be
chosen by the top criminal boss in New Orleans to be trained as his second in
command. Kiera is Mount’s obsession and he is falling for her even though
he has never had any kind of relationship. Kiera works her way into Mount’s
heart and he wants to please her instead of making her afraid of him. The
story continues of how they both bend in ways to meet each other and take Mount
from the dark life he lives into Kiera’s world where she runs Seven Sinners
whiskey. The angst the ups and downs the realization Mount comes to that
instead of scaring Kiera into doing what he wants he wants to please her and make
her want to want him.
Meghan March is excellent. I love her work. I’m enjoying this series and glimpse of characters from other books. Looking forward to book three.
While Mount and Kiera get closer, I am still trying to figure out where this story is going. I am enjoying the ride and cannot wait to read the conclusion to their story.
