Cruel Paradise by J.T. Geissinger
5.0
4.5 Kill-ian me dead stars
I’m gonna say it now, and probably repeatedly throughout this review, but Killian Black is all that is good and right with this world. All that is beautiful and sexy, swoony and wonderful. Okay, my point being, I’d marry him and have his babies tomorrow. If I fell for him in the last book, I was completely and irrevocably slayed by him in this one. And then JT went an added a tidbit that sealed tighter the already sealed deal for me. Killian Black is sex on a stick, swoon on two legs, impeccably dirty talking Romeo in a black Armani suit. But like, way less on the depressing and way more on the witty.
Well I should probably talk about the book a little too. Juliet (the Shakespeare is strong in this one), apart from being a very lucky girl, is your typical sassy, witty JT heroine, with a dark past, and a quirky...umm hobby. Her girl gang of vigilantes is funny and smart and the kind of sisterhood I love to read in books. I hope we get books for both Max and Fin.
The book was fast paced and sexy and appropriately filthy, and again, Killian was all my fantasies given life. A Moment of appreciative silence for the Irish speaking, dictionary spewing gangster. Moving on, I can’t go without mentioning one of my favorite things and a defining characteristic of the author’s books, the sparkling banter between characters, whether it be Killian and Declan, or Juliet and the girls, it’s snappy, it’s cutting and sarcastic, and it gives me life. This was also my second, loosely Romeo and Juliet retelling in a row, both completely different from each other but equally compelling.
