These books make me happy. They’re not literary masterpieces. You’re not going in for exceptionally beautiful prose. You’re going in to read about a badass FMC who gets annoyed (in the best way) by a dreamboat mafia MMC.
I don’t even like mafia but we can call this mafia lite. IYKYK.
Please for the love of all things good- READ BOOK ONE FIRST. Yes, they’re interconnected stand-alone but just take my word for it. As a matter of fact, clear the TBR deck because you’re going to want to read what comes next immediately. (I read them out of order, unfortunately)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Geissinger could write a repair manual and I would read it. She writes the best FMC’s. In this book we get a group of best friends and their dialogue was spectacular.

Killian made me swoon. He might not have been as distant and cold as liam but I felt his connection with Juliet to be more genuine than what we saw with Liam and Tru. I saw the whole misunderstanding towards the 80% of the book coming a mile away but it still made me feel for Juliet.

This one just did not live up to the first one, in my humble opinion. I enjoyed Killian more in book one, in the limited amount of him we saw. As for Jules... she took the "snark" a bit TOO far. It seemed just way too over the top for me, and if she really were that kind of person, I'd think Killian was a complete waste of a man to stick around...
Just an even 3 stars for me here.

It is a toss-up on whether I love Killian or Liam more. If I was under duress, I would have to lean more towards Killian because this man was delicious. I loved the first book for different reasons than this one. Yet, they both had the same commonalities of a fantastic storyline with characters that truly came alive.
Killian might be the dreamiest, swoon-worthy hero that this author has written. He was smooth and charming. I loved the Shakespeare quotes and the humor that was sprinkled throughout the story. There were glimpses of Liam and Tru in this book which also lent for some humorous moments. Juliet's friends were a hoot and the banter between the characters also enhanced the story.
There were suspense and intrigue sprinkled throughout but to me, the best part was watching these two characters try and fight their feelings for each other. They needed to trust but that is easier said than done. The steamy moments when they did happen were FIRE> Good Lord, I needed a cold shower and a chance for my kindle to cool down. However, the steamy parts did not overshadow the story and I loved that. I loved the super sleuth things that Killian did to keep track of his Juliet too. It made it interesting to see how he went about always knowing everything about her.
Definitely adding this book as another top favorite of 2020.
