Cruel Paradise

This book has now made me a firm believer in reading order. When I got to see the cameos of the people we learned to love in the first book, my heart warmed. I read Liars Like Us prior to my binge of this series and when it hit me that we saw peeks of this series in that one, I immediately went back and read some parts. Just like the previous book, this one was just amazing. JT Geissinger writing is just perfection, you just never want to stop reading. We start with our group of badass girls robbing this warehouse for diapers, we soon learn that it is Killian's warehouse in question. It is hard to tell you parts of this story without spoiling the previous story but let's just say Killian is not who he says he is. Once he figures out that our FMC, Juliet, is a philanthropist thief, he can't control is attraction. This man y'all, he absolutely takes no for an answer when it only comes to her. Seeing his self control when she sets her boundaries is so adorable, I wish wish wish we had more of his perspective. Throughout this story, we see secrets unraveled and danger thrown in their way. You see two people desperately wanting to give themselves over to the other but can't. When they give in, ah it is everything. The ending wasn't my absolutely favorite. If you read this book, you know but DIEGO??? HUH?? and the dad agreeing for one phone call??? If you want a story with lovable side characters, morally grey characters, impeccable banter and spice, and little bit of danger.
