Defiant (The Feral Princess Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 2,935 ratings

From USA Today Bestselling Author, Ann Denton, comes a dark romance about the battle of wills between a dominant pack leader and a woman whose compliant wolf undermines every dream she's ever had.

In shifter life, what's more important? Your human mind? Or your wolf's?

Black

I discover pretty little Elena helpless in disputed territory.
At first, I want to crack her open, this wide-eyed temptation who derails me. I want to shatter her and those who sent her into tiny pieces. I will not be manipulated or deceived by her false innocence.
That’s what I tell myself. But even as I say it aloud, my obsession grows and the spell she weaves leaves my wolf and I both panting.
But once I realize Elena’s a special type of shifter, the rarest of the rare, and the most precious of them all… I don’t want to crush her. I want to chain and keep her. I want to make her beg for mercy, but not because she’s broken.
Because she’s mine.
I want her desperate and aching for me in ways she’s never been before.
My wolf and I will claim her, mark her, marry her and keep her.
Only one thing’s stopping me.
The entire shifter world wants her too.

Elena

When my wolf appears for the first time, I’m so overjoyed that I don’t think, I just run into the forest…and smack into Black Maddox, the leader of my pack. Only…he doesn’t believe that I’m what I say I am. He insists that I’m part of a rival pack and locks me up in his basement.
Black’s twice my age, insanely powerful, and has a streak of darkness running through him a mile wide and an ocean deep.
He’s exactly the type of man that I always swore I’d stay far away from. I should stick with Jonah, the beta I know and trust, the man who’ll give me everything I ask for.
But what if there are things I didn’t know I ever wanted before? Things I don’t know how to ask for?
The shadow Black casts drenches me, his depravity soaking into my skin.
He’s going to destroy me if I don’t escape him.

4 out of 5 stars
Enjoyed this shifter romance!
Okay I’m super in to shifter romances lately. And this one did not disappoint! It was fast paced and super easy to binge read. This was my first venture into Omegaverse shifter stories and I thought it created some really interesting dynamics! I thought the hierarchy in the wolf shifter world was fascinating and something I didn’t even know existed. Denton does a great job though of explaining the hierarchies so even though I’d never read an omegaverse book before, I was able to quickly understand the dynamics.Please note the trigger warnings prior to starting this book. The author is very clear that this book is dark and will not be appropriate for all readers. Please read the trigger warnings to make sure this is content you are comfortable with.

    I JUST finished a pretty GREAT 👍🏻 Dubious Consent Werewolf Paranormal Romance! (FYI, I’m not affiliated with the author and there are NO spoilers! 🙌🏻)

    OK ✅! So I DID not expect to stumble upon this book 😮! I was browsing Amazon Bestsellers for Paranormal Romance (like I do EVERY day 😅)... and this one made it into the Top 100! It actually was published April 2021 and I had never heard of it before! I also did a quick search in my FB group, and nope… still didn’t see it rec’d here 😲! So I gave it a shot and let me tell you, if you LOVE ❤️ to LOVE/H@TE a MMC and you LOVE ❤️ dubious consent, a strong 💪🏻 FMC.. and well, like to have that BOO-YEAH 👊🏻 feeling that can happen at the end of a book... then THIS is for you! 👏🏻

    Alright so this is a WEREWOLF 🐺Paranormal Romance! That means it has more streamlined writing and it's set in our modern world 🌎! Do the humans know that the supernatural exist.. ?? I'm NOT entirely sure to be fair 🤔! BUT that doesn't really matter because in THIS book... is allllll about an ARROGANT HOT 🥵 JASON MOMOA TYPE ALPHA 🍆 that you are gonna kinda H@TE 😡, a CINNAMON ROLL BETA that you are gonna ROOT 👏🏻 for and a FIERCE 💪🏻 FMC that STAYS that way the ENTIRE BOOK (thank you 🙏🏻 thank you 🙏🏻 thank you 🙏🏻) … even though she's BATTLING physical urges 🔥 of her steamy s&xuation!! 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (lol see what I did there 🤭!)

    The book kicks 🦵 off with the FMC in college (but this is NOT an Academy, so if you don't like those... you can still read on my friend 👏🏻!) She has a SPICY 🌶️ relationship with her cinnamon roll sweetie 😘 and pretty dang quickly, her life flips upside down 🙃 & her super independent self is CAGED ⛓️ (in the best of ways 🔥😆)… but CAGED nonetheless! Until... well I can't tell you anymore 🤐.. but it's GOOD 🙌🏻!

    So how STEAMY 🔥 is it? It’s definitely got some ALPHA dirty talk 🥵 & pretty great dominant alpha scenes! This IS an Alpha, Beta, & Omega Werewolf world... but it is NOT Omegaverse! There is mention of kn0ts & heats though, so it may be aComin' (lol see what I did there 😂!) OK gotta go...off to get Book 2!

    So if you LOVE ❤️ a great, page-turning DUBIOUS CONSENT WEREWOLF 🐺 story, Alphas/Betas/Omegas, SPICY 🌶️ Dominant behavior, a STRONG 💪🏻 FMC that STAYS STRONG 💪🏻, and a great cliffhanger 🪨 that makes you want the next book (which FYI it is OUT right now!)…then give this a shot! It's FREE on KU and you never know... this book may just CAPTURE ⛓️ you!

    Defiant is a dark and delicious omegaverse story with sprinkles of humor throughout that makes this book hard to put down.

    Elena is a feisty spitfire who was raised to be an alpha. Her wolf's appearance has been delayed, so when it turns out she is a rare omega and is quickly claimed by Black after a case of mistaken identity, she is not too happy with the turn her life seems to take. While her omega nature comes out during certain places in the book, she never loses her feisty, defiant nature.

    Jonah is a more submissive beta who seems like the perfect boyfriend material--sweet, caring, and dedicated. He and Elena have a fun, flirty, dirty banter, and towards the end of the book, he shows that he is willing to go against his nature and stand up for Elena.

    Finally, Black is the ultimate alphahole--strong, possessive, controlling, and takes what he wants. After some initial hostility is cleared up, he pretty quickly decides Elena is his whether she agrees or not. While he is able to overpower Elena most of the time, Elena doesn't stop trying to challenge him in whatever way she can.

    Jonah and Black each have unique relationships that seem to compliment Elena's nature. Jonah allows Elena to take the reins and be more of the alpha she was raised (and wants) to be while Black appeals to her omega side with his own brand of dark passion.

    There is plenty of steam throughout the book and the characters are incredibly well developed. They each have their own unique voices you get to know with the shifting POV's in the book and little hints are mentioned throughout the book that add depth to their characters such as why Elena does not want to be an omega. The plot really starts picking up towards the end of the book and leaves us on a bit of a cliffhanger that makes me look forward to book 2.

    This book has a good story line but its a little extra with so many sexual scenes. I do like the story so if you can gloss over some stuff its a good book. With an omega whose life has changed so quickly hopefully she gets her happy ever after.

    If you don't have triggers this is a dark romance you'll end up recommending.

    Elena is not your typical omega. She's sassy, headstrong, and knows she can take on the world. And why wouldn't she? She was "raised" to be an Alpha. Something her interactions with Jonah only prove time and time again. So when her life turns completely upside down and she's mistaken for the enemy by Alpha Black....well enter all of the crazy, depraved fun.

    Jonah is the beta wolf in love with Elena. He's pretty submissive for a beta but brings a sense of peace and control to Elena she desperately needs. I adored Jonah because he's sweet but when the going gets rough he steps up. He puts aside his fears for his love. Some may end up seeing him as too weak but I found him to be necessary to Elena.

    Alpha Black, the alphahole we all love to hate. Oblivious to anyone else's feelings except his own. He's found a lost treasure and like the greedy kid with a shiny new toy he'll grip on to it for all he's worth. It doesn't matter that said toy is a living, breathing girl. After all what woman wouldn't want the glorious Alpha?

    The interactions between Black and Elena are dark romance gold. Oh Elena feels something for Black all right but it may not be what he's dreamed up in his head. Although as much as you may want to punch him, you also want to lick him and give him a hug.

    Overall this was a well written start to this dark romance. All of the elements are there, setting up a heart pounding story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The sexy times may just set you on fire and there are definitely some laughs to be had and drama is life.

    So I hate trying to think Iona title for these reviews, this was good interesting twist on the omega story, but you can understand the why when read the whole thing did have to wonder about her mother I mean if my daughter disappeared without a word I'd been wanting to know who what and where. As to our alpha black will not sure about him at all I know he thinks he's doing the right thing but sometimes the right thing for him might not be the right thing for her we will have to wait and see. But yes I enjoyed it it was well written strong story and characters, would recommend this one.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A world that sucks you in and doesn't let go
    Reviewed in India on March 16, 2022
    First of all, verbal consent is mandatory no matter what someone's body indicates. The only thing Black wants is an Omega. Not Elena specifically. He doesn't care or ask about her family, her life, her wants and desires or her aspirations. All he cares about is the ego boost he'll get from bedding and breeding the only Omega in the world. She's just a body with an entertaining persona to him....not a person. It's disgusting!! He's one of the main heroes of the story, but I will never be able to visualise such a character as a good guy. I don't know how Ann with turn this around.

    Yes, the smexy scenes are hot as f@ck but yeah, for me, it's tainted by Black's treatment of Elena. What's even worse is that he's blind to the treatment he's putting her through. He doesn't see anything wrong with it. He doesn't ask her to marry him, just slides a ring onto her finger. He doesn't ask her what she wants to wear, he provides the clothes. He doesn't ask if she's single, because he doesn't care. The first time, he started having s@x while she was sleeping. Yes, a combination of hormones and wet dreams and the brink of orgasm made it so that Elena did not verbally say no. But that doesn't change the fact that it was a violation of her body, without her consent.

    But the story itself is very gripping, great world building & a complete emotional rollercoaster.

    4.0 out of 5 stars By far the steamiest book I've ever read.
    Reviewed in Italy on September 8, 2021
    DEFIANT is by far one of the steamiest books I’ve ever read. Before I dive into this review, however, I do want to point out that this book has trigger warnings and you should read the author’s note before diving into it. Triggers include dubious consent, kidnapping and forced marriage.

    Now that that’s out of the way, let me tell you a little bit about this spicy werewolf dark romance! Defiant follows the story of Elena, a twenty-year-old shifter who has been waiting several years for her wolf to manifest. When Elena feels her wolf for the first time, she’s overcome by the need to run to the forest and revel in her first shift, but when she does she crosses paths with Black Maddox, the alpha of the Lobos Pack. The Lobos are Elena’s pack, but Black doesn’t know it because she’s never been allowed to join the pack events. She has all the characteristics that Black is drawn to: she’s beautiful and half his age , and for that reason he believes she may be a spy from a rival pack sent to mess with his head. Despite Elena’s claims to the contrary, Black chases her down and captures her, locking her up in his basement until further notice. He quickly discovers Elena is telling the truth, but refuses to free her regardless. Elena is an omega wolf—a rare kind who is particularly appealing to alphas. Black is determined to mate and keep her for himself, but doing so may start a conflict between wolf packs as he isn’t the only alpha who wants Elena. How will this unfold? You’ll have to read the book to find out!

    As this is a character driven story, the strength of the narration relies heavily on the characters and their relationships. The three main players are Elena, Black Maddox and Jonah, a beta of the pack who is also Elena’s friend (with benefits). Elena was the sort of main character I love. Her strong attitude and confidence made her immediately likeable to me. She’s not a woman who’s afraid to admit what she wants and has complete ownership of her body and sexuality. I really appreciated her strength throughout and—at least for now—she was my favorite character.

    Things are a bit more complicated with the boys. In the author’s note, the author states that the series will end with a MFM relationship, so while Elena isn’t meant to be the peak of a love triangle, I couldn’t help but compare her relationship with both men. Black Maddox is meant to be the kind of character that I usually obsess over: big, dark, arrogant, a bit wild…I usually throw myself at men like him. Jonah—by far more submissive toward Elena, kinder, softer, is usually the one I give the friend treatment to. And yet, despite Black and Elena’s relationship is the one explored the most, and despite the fact it was extremely spicy, I couldn’t warm up to Black. Maybe if there had been more time to explore their bond as people and not merely alpha and omega, I would have been more involved. With Jonah, on the other hand, we get to see a lot more emotion. He doesn’t see her as an omega, but as the strong, reckless woman he’s falling in love with, and I was far more curious to explore that relationship (and my wishes may just come true with the second book!)

    Overall, this was a very quick and enjoyable read. I definitely recommend it to fans of werewolf fiction—especially the spicy kind—but again, check your triggers because it’s quite dark!
