Cruel Paradise by J.T. Geissinger
4.0

I'm shook. I HATED the first book in this series but decided to give this one a chance because I've enjoyed other books by Geissinger. This was so sweet though? Like if you put aside the controlling and borderline toxic elements that are always going to be in a dark/mafia romance, it made me feel all sorts of ways. Plus, I LOVED the banter and relationship between the MCs. I think one of the key reasons that this worked for me is that the heroine doesn't let Killian get away with pushing her around at all.
