This was really disappointing because I was looking forward to Killian Black's romance. However, the heroine was so annoying and I hated her.

Some of my issues:
This felt like it was a copy of the first book.
It had the obsessed hero who instantly falls for the heroine, but why did he want her????
The h was written to be so sassy, but she was just annoying.
She kept refusing to acknowledge her feelings and was constantly pushing the hero away just because he was a "gangster"
The banter was super cringe, too, and I was laughing at a lot of it when I think it was supposed to be sexy.
The way the h finally thinks she knows who he is, but gets pissed because she makes stupid assumptions.
It was so boring and I was skimming most of it.

I did like Killian, but the heroine tanked this book for me.

i read these ass backwards all out of order but it didn't even matter. impeccable

A worthy follow up to Beautifully Cruel. I prefered the overall storyline of the first installment but liked the relationship between Killian and Juliet very much. I find that J.T. Geissinger writes good female characters that are not afraid to stand up for themselves despite some maddening circumstances at times.
