By the halfway point, I enjoyed the book more and more. Molly's internal monolog was hard to get through sometimes. She's erratic and irrational

Ashton is ruthless and calculating, his brutality and intelligence aren’t what anyone wants to go up against. He’s the king of New York for a reason. 
Molly Easter is sweet and a fiercely loyal friend, she’s been through a lot in her life. 
The chemistry between Ashton & Molly is so intense, she sees him for who he is, and loves his dark parts too. 
There was a lot of suspense and mystery, attacks, hits, secrets, & so much more going on. 
This story is fast paced with shocking revelations & a bit of healing. 

LOVED every word! I want Ashton Walden to claim me AND to be best friends with Molly! If you've read any of my reviews you know I adore all books by Tijan, she honestly excels in all genres and I am a HUGE fan! I love dark romance and A Cruel Arrangement is definitely in my Top 5 favorites of all time!

I was so hesitant to love Ashton in the beginning due to events that happened in book 1, but he quickly redeemed himself and swept me off my feet. Loving Molly caught him off guard and the way he was so protective of her was beautiful.

"You run and I'll burn the world down for you."

Molly also caught my attention in book 1, but the way she grew and found herself in this book was so amazing. I loved watching her grow and learn to trust others with her heart.

"Beautiful. Stunning. Powerful. All words described her. She was mine. I wasn't letting her go."

The path to love wasn't easy for these two but it was special. They found their person and once they both realized it it was breathtaking.

As always Tijan delivers all the angst and excitement that we love, while also making us fall in love. Her storylines always pull me in and leave me begging for more! I can't wait for more of the Kings of New York! Tijan never disappoints and is always a must read.

This was so much better than Dirty Business (In my opinion). I’m giving this book 4 ⭐️ mostly because of Molly.

Five fat and massive stars!! Absolutely in love with this book!

I had very high expectations for this book. After meeting Ashton in A Dirty Business I knew his story was going to be 🔥🔥🔥 he's the bad guy, he's the one who LOVES getting his hands dirty, he's the one who loves causing pain, he's the one who loves to see blood, he's the dark one. He's the hot one and, surprise, surprise he's also one of the sweetest ones.

This story was captivating from the very first page! I loved everything about this book. The plot, the twists, the suspense, the romance, the steam - even though it's not super steamy, it definitely has just the right amount. 🥵

Molly was such an unexpected and pleasant surprise! I adore her unique personality! She's funny, she's determined, she's fearless, she's strong, she has this sexy confidence in her and such amazing energy that you just want to be in her presence at all times. Definitely love this woman!

And Ashton... well, he's the bad guy you just know you'll fall in love with. He's so smart, he's a doer, he's super protective, he's a sexy badass. Even though I was mad at him for what he did in the first book, even at that moment I knew I'd love this man. ❤️

The connection between Ashton and Molly is inevitable, they fit SO WELL together! 🥰 And their cute and sweet moments? Pinkies? C'MON! 😭

 A Cruel Arrangement is definitely my favourite book in the series, there's nothing I didn't enjoy about this one.
Now, will I read more of Tijan's books? Abso-fucking-lutely!
