After Beautifully Cruel (the first book in this series) about Liam and Truvy, I was so excited to read Liam's brother Killian's story!
From the beginning, I loved the female main character, Juliet. She's smart and strong, and her relationship with her friends is just so sweet. The majority of the story and Killian and Juliet's relationship is focused on how to build trust, something that both characters really struggle with. I really enjoyed their banter (honestly J.T. Geissinger's books always have great banter!) throughout the entire book.
But my favorite part of the entire book was where Liam and Killian's worlds finally come back together, and Juliet gets to meet Truvy! I highly recommend this book and the entire series!

I knew from book 1 that I would love Killian Black and I am happy to say I was not disappointed at all.
I feel like he had such a well rounded personality, considering who he is and what he does. Yes, he's the alpha male. But he also has a soft side that he doesn't hide from the fmc Juliet at all. I also loved his amusement at dangerous situations. (For example, the way he found all of Diego's assassination attempts humorous).
The fmc Jules or Juliet (she's referred to by both names in this book) is also a great character. Her and her friends have a peculiar....side job, of sorts. One that isn't always done well. Her banter with Killian and her friends is hilarious.
My only complaint about this book is that I would have liked more from Killian's point of view but even so, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Okayyy some of the best banter I’ve read in a long time! Love love love
We have an Italian mafia princess turned Robin Hood who steals from the head of the Irish mafia. Needless to say, he immediately wants her when he finds out she stole from him.
First of all, I couldn't understand why Killian was attracted to Jules. She wasn't the only one who stole from him. He could have easily fallen for one of her two friends. Second of all, I just couldn't connect with either Killian or Jules. I didn't like either of them. They didn't intrigue me nor did I feel any chemistry.
The first book in this series had a good balance of tension, angst, darkness, and comedy. This one feels like a non-stop comedy. And while it's fun to read a mafia romcom, I was expecting the tone to be similar to book 1.
On top of the lackluster chemistry, Killian and Jules kept going around in circles in what felt like a dramatic soap opera. It was annoying and repetitive and it made me lose complete interest in this couple. The big revelation was also done through a letter, which could have been impactful, but we don't even get to read the letter!
Overall, brilliant set up, but terrible characters and execution.
