**RECEIVED ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW**
I have put this review off for some time because I really had no clue what to say. The book itself is pretty well written. It is obvious both authors can tell a story. Yet, I really was not impressed with the h (leading lady) to say the least. The book starts out with her telling her dad she is going on vacation and if he puts up a fuss she will vacay in the States and as is the norm cause tons of drama and PR nightmares for her dad’s company. This is the norm? Selfish much? In the next breath she is all, oh I need to repair my friendship with my childhood friend because I really care for her. So, selfish rich brat who supposedly has a heart of gold and wants to make her own way in life and run her dad’s company one day has her dad pay for a trip for her and her friends then gets kidnapped and sold into the sex slave trafficking crap. I will say those scenes regarding the abuse these people, even young children, endure were brutal. TRIGGER WARNING.
I say this is typical because you can pretty much predict what comes next. I really didn’t feel that there were any good suprises. No, OH SNAP! I DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING! Moments. It just seems anymore, not just this author, but lots of authors use this cookie cutter for characters and plots. Not saying these authors do this on each and every book. Just saying this one was too typical for me. It was still technically well written.
What an incredible edition to this amazing series. Series. Stefan and Presley take you on a different kind of romance filled with action, auctions, and heat and steam that will keep you hanging on the edge to see what happens with these two. Can’t wait for the next one to see what happens.
This is Book 6 of “The Clans” and these two authors hit it right out of the ballpark! I went through every emotion as I turned every page of this well written storyline and the characters were so strongly written that I felt like I was standing in the same room as the story unfolded between Presley and Stefan!
This is the sixth book in The Clans series and is Stefan and Presley’s story. This was such a great read by these two authors. I was hooked from the very beginning and read this in one sitting. Stefan and Presley are both strong characters that have problems with their fathers. Stefan’s wants him to marry a certain girl, which he won’t do, and Presley’s wants her to finish school and be more mature and stay out of trouble. Stefan wants a woman who is defiant, feisty and sassy, and Presley is perfect for him. How he goes about getting her is not the way to do it. When they first meet,, their connection is instant and their chemistry is off the charts hot. This will give you all the feels. There is action, secrets, death, deceit, backstabbing, heartbreak, and twists and turns. I enjoyed this story and will read the others now. This is a standalone and you don’t need to read the previous stories to follow this one. The storyline is fantastic and keeps you reeled in and I love the characters. I highly recommend reading this book and not passing it up.
absolutely loved this book. I was completely captivated by Presley and Stefan’s Story . I smiled , laughed and cried. Twist and turns that had me turning pages in anticipation. Lies, danger, death and so much more fill this intriguing book. I couldn’t stop reading until I was to the end and then it left me wanting more . You definitely don’t want to pass this book by.

Defiant is a first read for me in this Clan Series by Elizabeth Knox and Iris Sweetwater which I found to be an exciting, thrilling, sensual read. This story is about Stefan and Presley, two strong defiant characters, each having issues with their fathers and how they deal with them. Stefan is told he needs to marry the woman his father has picked for him in order to have children and strenghten the clan. Stefan has plans of his own to get the woman he wants. Presley is a defiant young heiress from Texas who gets caught up in Stefan’s scheme when she finds herself kidnapped and sold into slavery on his orders. The banter and passion between these two was explosive from the start, but one thing is for sure these two were made for each other and soon Stefan will realize Presley will be a perfect fit into clan life. Things take a turn once he takes Presley, she fights him every way but agrees to the marriage as one way to get out from her father and family’s influence. Now forces are in the works to destroy both of them, will Stefan and Presley be able to stop this threat? And what is going to happen when Presley learns about Stefan’s part in her kidnapping? This story will hold your interest from beginning to end. This was a fast paced read about the clans and the mafia that is surrounded with murder, danger, betrayals, violence, secrets and so much passion. I voluntairly reviewed an advanced copy of this book .
