Defiant Princess (Mafia Elite Series Prequel) by Amy McKinley – Review by Jessica Stone

This book was a lot of fun to read! I’m very into mafia romances, but I’ve yet to read one not only told from a mafia daughters point of view but also MULTIPLE MD’s views.

These are some lovely princesses with a whole lot of personality! What would you expect from a mafia princess though, especially when their lives are all anything but their own.

Each girl has and individual story to be told that weaves into the others, these women are learning how to navigate wanting their freedom to love how an whom they choose, knowing their entire lives that it will never be their choice. All on their last leg of freedom it seems, with impending arranged marriages and familial obligations these girls are ready to do whatever it takes to feel some sort of control, wether it be in the love department or something as simple as one’s passion.

I did not go into this book knowing that it was prequel to a series I’ve been dying to read in its entirety, which is sooooo awesome. I’ve only read one other book from this author, and in the Mafia Elite series but I absolutely loved it so I’m now EVEN more excited to read more in this series. I did read some spoilers looking into this series more, that ruined some surprise coming in the other novels but helped me get more excited to continue reading this authors works. She drops some bombs, expect the unexpected.

I feel like this book COULD be read on its own, but once you read it you’ll be aching for more mafia drama. Im hoping the author puts out more material from the point of view of these women beside the mafia men. Fingers crossed!
