You don’t know me. You think you do, but you don’t. The only thing you know is my name, and even that’s a lie.
I’m king of Boston, lord of criminals, ruler of an underworld empire.
Or am I?
Or am I?
Only one thing’s for sure: I operate alone.
Until I cross paths with a brazen little thief who sets my whole kingdom on fire.
Just as two wrongs don’t make a right, two villains don’t belong together. Especially since she’s the daughter of my most deadly enemy.
Taking her would start a war.
Keeping her would be suicide.
Making her mine would break every code of honor and defy all common sense.

This was a pretty good book. Cruel Paradise is the second book in the Beautifully Cruel series. This is Killian and Juliet's story. Killian is Liam Black's twin brother, from the first book in the series, and we first met Killian in the Dangerous Beauty series. In Beautifully Cruel, Killian steps into Liam's life and assumes his identity so that Liam can leave and be safe (It's a long story. Read it.). So everyone thinks he is Liam Black now and that he is running the Irish mafia. But he has lots of secrets. He meets Juliet, when she and her friends break into one of his businesses and steal a truckload of diapers to donate to the poor. Juliet is the estranged daughter of an Italian mob boss. She hates her father, and the mafia, and deals out vigilante justice to give to the needy. Killian is fascinated and attracted to Juliet right away, but she wants nothing to do with him because she thinks he's a mobster himself. The two have a lot to work out between them, but Killian is very convincing. They fall in love and get the HEA they both deserve.
I enjoyed this story. Killian and Juliet had great chemistry and were very sexy together. I liked them both. Killian, especially, adored Juliet so much right away. I didn't love that Juliet pushed him away until nearly the end of the book. I wanted a bit more resolution and to see them together and happy. I also felt like the pacing was off. The beginning felt too slow moving, while the rest wrapped up a bit too quickly. ( (view spoiler) ) Still, the chemistry between Juliet and Killian was so good that it made up for it.
Overall, this was a good read and a good addition to this fun, romantic suspense series. I look forward to more from this series and Ms. Geissinger in the future.
