I think that this book beats Liam's (the first book in this series) out of the water. I love Killian and I love Jules. They are such a good combination of light and dark. Killian is charming and tries to woo Jules. What I appreciate about Jules is that she was relatable in the way that a sane person would question why a mafia boss would try to charm her. Killian tries to figure out why she would steal diapers from him and give them to an organization that needs it. Later, Killian protects her because the Serbians came after her due to her father, head of the Italian mafia.
Killian tries to give her space and when she says one night, and then later on five days, Killian is all in. Throughout the book he just wants her to trust him so that he can reveal his true identity as a spy posing as a mafia king. She doesn't reveal her feelings or that she trusts him until after she had been captured by the Serbians and had her feet whipped. When he comes to save her I felt it was a little anticlimactic because I wanted there to be more of a vulnerable moment. However, Jules is not weak and she is definitely not one to back down just because she was kidnapped, she grew up with that fear.
I do wish that there was a memory of Juliet, Fin, and Max together. I didn't really warm up to Fin and Max until the end of the book. I found them to be jaded by the possibility of being caught. Maybe it is the mafia upbringing that made them apathetic to it.
Overall, this book was a good read and I really enjoyed it for being a mafia romance. It is definitely the tamest of the books I have read but nonetheless entertaining. The banter was also great as well.

So I actually enjoyed this book a lot more than the first book!
I found the plot a little more interesting, but what I liked the most is I really felt like I could feel the main characters falling in love the more they got to know each other. There was obvious instant attraction, and Killian definitely fell first, but I feel like he got a jump start with finding out all the background information on Juliet. But I feel like as a couple there was a longer "courting" period, and with Juliet fighting it for so long, they really talked a lot. I loved Juliet's character. She had personality, took no shit, gave Killian all the shit back and really made him work for it which I loved.
This book had a little more slow burn to it as Juliet was fighting her feelings for as long as she could. But the tension was delicious and I kept screaming at Juliet just to give in already.
I loved Juliet's friends. And seriously almost wish we got another book about their adventures in Paris and what their new job is gonna be! I also loved seeing Tru and Liam again. I love the little family they're building and see the men happy.
Now I'm going to jump backing into the queens and monsters series and I'm hoping from how book two in that series ending, we're gonna see a reprise of a character who is suppose to be dead

I really enjoy the banter that Geissinger brings to her novels. There are so many times I laugh out loud, it's almost ridiculous. I just love sassy, witty characters.
Beyond that, although I liked this book, I didn't like it as much as the first. Everything happened really fast--the insta-lust. And honestly, there wasn't as much of a storyline. It was mostly just back and forth, debating if they could be together, until they finally were.

2.5 stars for 75% of the book it is daddy issues & a FMC written like a petulant child.
Another awesome read by the very best author Ms. Geissinger. I truly enjoyed Killian's book, especially after what happened in the in Dangerous Desires with Eva, I was not a fan. However, he did redeem himself, so it was no surprise at all that Killian turned out to be about as amazing as he could be. I have to admit that the heroine in this story, Julie or Jules, was it for me. She was brave, courageous, snarky, and had me rolling in stitches because she was so damn funny. She and her merry band of thieves Fin and Max were the best part! Filled with action, hot lovemaking and an emotional rollercoaster are why Ms. Geissinger's books are such a success. She is able to capture and reel you in, that you feel every nuance of everything that is happening. I just loved it! 5 AMAZING STUPENDOUS, FANTASTIC, TERRIFIC, UNICORN PUPPY, AND NEWTON'S LAW OF GRAVITY STARS!!!!!
P.S. Is there possibly going to be a book about Max and Declan, maybe? I found her to be very enlightening.

I’m sorry, I love you J.T., but I hate the miscommunication trope.
