Cliffhanger! Be prepared: Once you start Ruthless King, you won’t stop reading until you’ve finished Sinful Empire!
Loved the whole series!
This series is so good. Its just getting better. I just love Lachlan and Kiera. Their dynamic is just so addictive and sexy as hell. I love how the dynamic of their agreement is changing. Lachlan is losing his careful hold on his emotions when it comes to Kiera. He has her doing things, wanting things he never did, until her. Kiera’s heart is no match for Lachlan Mount and we see a whole nother side to Mount than the carefully controlled man in Ruthless King. And that damn cliffhanger of an ending had me on edge.
Defiant Queen is sexier than ever and twisted in a way you are sure to enjoy. Things are brewing as the heat between Lachlan and Kiera heats up. Neither is prepared for the other, but its clear that they want each other more than they realize.
We got to start this book off with a chapter from Mount. It was nice getting more from Mount’s side in this book. This book gave me a better look at who Mount was. What his business was, and how he dealt with people. It still kept Mount as a bad guy though, his actions and such still didn’t make me feel any more like he was a better guy than we’d thought. I did enjoy the part where Lucas Titan from the Beneath series showed up, and had some good advice for Mount on how to get the woman. And I loved hearing about Titan and what he was doing for his woman, Yve. Titan was someone it was hard to like at first. Though he really wasn’t a bad guy like Mount is.
Got more sexy times in this one too, although I’m still going to have to go with a hard pass on anything to do with a ball gag. Just no. Then they had a trip to Ireland, which I loved that! This one had another cliffhanger, a major one again. So I was glad to be able to immediately check out the third and final book to listen to from the library. I’d say this one was a bit longer than the first book, and the third was like double the length of this one.
I really enjoyed this book and the other books that make up the trilogy. A little steamy, maybe more than I wanted, but a good book anyways.

Holy fuck! This series has got me hooked! I’m so invested in these 2 that’s it’s totally unhealthy! Keira and Mount and to die for. They are one of the hottest couples I’ve read about in quite a while! I am jonesing for the next book like a freaking drug addict! Thank God I don’t have to wait. One-click for sure!!!!
This series was amazing! I loved it!
I couldn’t get enough of these characters! Bring on Sinful Empire!!!
I absolutely loved this book. I could not put it down, I read the whole book in one sitting! It is absolutely fantastic. Meghan March is quickly becoming my favorite author!
The continuation of Ruthless King further develops the relationship of Mount and Kiera. He is used to being in control, she tests his boundaries with her fiery independence. The chemistry is hot. Can their relationship work? Have to wait til book three Sinful Empire to find out.
Great quick read.

5+ STARS
NO SPOILERS!
Defiant Queen was absolutely BRILLIANT! It was a scorching hot and incredibly addicting second installment in the Mount Trilogy, and I absolutely loved it with all of my heart and soul! Meghan March is beyond brilliant, talented, and so many other wonderful things, and she completely outdid herself with this book. I have shamelessly become addicted and obsessed with her books, and I can’t freaking wait to read the conclusion to the gripping and truly unforgettable Mount Trilogy in Sinful Empire!
The storyline was superb and better than I could have ever hoped for. Once again, I didn’t know what to expect going into Defiant Queen, but it was honestly perfect and better than my wildest imagination. I was addicted to every single word and on the edge of my seat the entire time. I loved being surprised at every turn, and I truly couldn’t get enough of everything from beginning to end. I knew the book was going to end in a cliffhanger, but once again I was absolutely not expecting that ending. It left me reeling and craving Sinful Empire something fierce.
Mount and Keira were even more phenomenal this time around.They completely blew me away, and I fell even more in love with them and their story. Mount was still a domineering, alpha hero, but he had so many more aspects to his character that fascinated me. Keira was also still herself, but even more sassy, feisty, and stubborn. I absolutely loved delving more into their characters, specifically Mount, and I felt an even deeper connection with them. I loved reading the book from both Mount and Keira’s POV again, and getting even more chapters from Mount’s perspective made me ecstatic. Their relationship has been anything but normal so far, but the chemistry between them is still off the charts smoking hot. Mount and Keira have been two of my top favorite fictional characters ever, and I can’t wait to see how their epic story ends in Sinful Empire.
Defiant Queen was a mind-blowingly sexy, addicting, and entertaining sequel in the Mount Trilogy, and it completely exceeded all of my wildest expectations! Meghan March absolutely knocked it out of the park with this book, and I am so freaking excited to read the conclusion to Mount and Keira’s story in Sinful Empire!
I was so excited to learn more about Mount and how he got to be who he is. Getting glimpses of his past was a nice touch and then flashing forward to the present put everything in perspective. You really see how his feeling for Keira morph in this story to more than just viewing her as something to possess but as someone that he wants to be with. He never thought he could actually have someone in his life and now he’s starting to change his mind. I love Keira’s development in this story as well. She is no longer looking at herself like a victim; I love that Mount refers to her as his hellion and you see a lot of that come out in her in this book. The chemistry between them is so hot, the story is always moving and you don’t know what’s gonna pop up next. Meghan March is known for her cliffhangers and this book certainly ended on a hell of a cliffhanger. I love seeing such a strong female character like Keira take center stage. You’re not gonna want to put this one down!
There are several anti heroes that I love and miss often. They stay with me long after I’ve read their books. Their fall (into love) is always so much more because the journey to get there is harder but the reward is sweeter. Lachlan has become one of those that I will never forget.
Lachlan and Keira went through so much in this book even if it feels like not a whole lot happened. If you’re paying attention and seeing with not only your heart but your mind, they had one heck of a journey here. I fell hard for Lachlan in the first book and in this one I fell even more. Their chemistry is smoking hot and their story is addicting. The wait for the next book will be some of the longest weeks of my life.
There was one moment where I had to take a break and just breathe. The emotions were so much I was overwhelmed and just needed a moment before I could continue to read. Those are the scenes you remember and can’t shake long after you’ve finished the book. It takes a lot to do that to a reader and Meghan is one talented writer. I can not recommend these books enough. Do not miss them because they are top reads of the year for sure.
I don’t rehash story lines or rewrite synopses for my reviews. So if you need that I’m sure someone will post that for you. All I’m telling you, and I do this on all my reviews, is what I felt and if I enjoyed it. With this book and this series I’m telling you this is one of the best books of the year and one of the best series of the year. It’s epic and consuming in the best way possible. Do not pass go till you’ve read it!
I loved this book as I have this whole series. I am not able to put them down as soon as I start. Totally amazing reading. I can’t get enough!!
This series, this man and his defiant Queen are absolutely addictive. The second book in The Mount Trilogy gave me more insight into Lachlan Mount and what he hides from the rest of the world. However it is only one person that can bring this part of him out and that is Keira. As we venture further into this arrangement we start to get the feeling this is less about that and more about the chemistry that rages between these two. Defiant Queen will have you gripping onto the arms of your chair as this second part takes a turn you will not see coming. Keira is stronger than she thinks and admitting her want for Mount might just be a strength she doesn’t think she has.
Defiant Queen was bold, edgy and addictive. This was book 2 in the Mount Trilogy and it was even better than the first book. OMG….there aren’t enough words to express how exciting and engaging this story turned out to be. And that cliff hanger…..Meghan March are you trying to kill me.
Mount and Keira continued their power struggle but the steamy scenes were kicked up a notch in this novel and all the emotions and angst were practically doubled. These two continued to give as good as they got and were the perfect compliment to each other.
The story was told in dual POV, giving us deeper insights into both characters which made these two even more likable and appealing. I have to admit I was not expecting that storyline but I really loved it. As for that cameo appearance….absolutely perfect.
Meghan gave us another phenomenal ‘un-put-downable’ story. This must read continuation will have you hooked from start too finish and definitely leave you screaming for more. I can’t wait for book 3 Sinful Empire.
This well-written novel deserves more than 5 stars and I would highly recommend it.
About this book:

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 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…
Did someone turn up the heat? OH. EM. GEE! I am OWNED yet again! *dead* Meghan March is easily becoming a “must watch” author for me. If her other books are this addictive, I want to read them ASAP! “You were f*cking made for me.” -Lachlan. GAH #swoon. In my review for RUTHLESS KING, I mentioned that I anticipated the swoon factor was going to come in the next books, well it SURE DID in this book! #MountEffect Mount is sinfully delicious! “This was only ever supposed to be s*x. Repayment on a debt owed. But it has spiraled out of control, and now I’m terrified it’s becoming something else entirely –which is impossible.” -Kiera. I devoured DEFIANT QUEEN in mere days and this book was EVEN BETTER than book 1! I would wake up in the middle of the night to read more and wake up early to squeeze in even more reading! #addicted The constant power struggle and the bending of wills continues between these two and the intensity grew with each encounter. Kiera and Lachlan test each other time and time again and it’s a marvel to read how they are breaking their rules for each other. #littlehellionVStheKing “I finally understand the reason it’s called power exchange, but with Mount and me, it’s more accurately termed a power struggle. He takes. I fight. He threatens. I rebel. He taunts. I argue.” -Kiera.
And let me say, THIS is why I waited for all 3 books to be out. #majorcliffy That ending was a doozey! I am jumping right into SINFUL EMPIRE! Everyone, I repeat EVERYONE needs to binge read this series ASAP! Heck, make it your new years resolution. I mean it! You don’t want to miss this couple and their scorching erotic romance!
10 stars!

OMG! This book was amazing!! Lachlan Mount shows his human side and I fell! Oops! Keira fell. Lachlan saw her in her glory as a professional, and not just the defiant woman he can’t stay away from and…yes! He’s falling.
This book is filled with and respect and fun. Smiles and laughter are shared and itwas perfect. But that ending!!! Thank goodness I waited to read so all the books are out or I would go crazy.
Lachlan Mount and Keira Kilgore are fantastic characters. A mix of dark and light and how they cross over, him with moments of light and her reveling in a bit of dark. Sexy, sweet, fun, hot, dark and evil. Take it for a ride!!!
