By: J.T. Geissinger

Narrated by: Troy Duran, Marnye Young

The international best-selling series with more than one million copies sold.

Anti-hero (noun):
1) A powerful and charismatic man lacking moral character
2) A magnificent bastard
3) Killian Black

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?

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.Then again, where’s the fun in following the rules?"

Amazing

I absolutely loved this story!! Juliet and Killian are so great and their story is so beautiful! The narrator's give so much life to these characters and I absolutely loved the audiobook!! I can not believe how amazing these stories are and can not wait to move into the Queens and Monsters series ❤️❤️

Love

Love this series. Love this author. Troy is my book boyfriend! Great story and sex scenes.

Storyline was meh

The first store in the series was great. I was looking forward to the brothers story. The female lead was so frustrating and her resistance was carried out way too long. I understood it at first but it just dragged on. The narrators were great, the male especially.

It was similar to Beautifully Cruel

I expected more from this book. This book was too similar to the other in the series. It needed a more original plot.
The narration of Troy was amazing.

Killian & Juliet: Explosive Dark Romance

“It’s not inexplicable. I like you the way Newton liked gravity.”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“Once he found it, everything else in the universe made sense.

From the moment Killian says this, you feel the intensity of their pull—dangerous, magnetic, and inevitable.

Re-listening to Cruel Paradise only made me love it more. If Beautifully Cruel was broody and possessive, this sequel is sharp, seductive, and utterly thrilling.

Killian Black may rule Boston’s underworld, but Juliet Ambrose? She rules him. I adored how much they had in common—they’re both clever, dangerous, and living in the gray areas of morality. Both have survived betrayal and loss, which makes their attraction not just steamy, but deeply rooted in understanding. When they finally surrender to it, the impact is explosive in every sense.

Troy Duran as Killian is everything: commanding, magnetic, and dangerously charming. Maryne Young brings Juliet to life with sass, fire, and vulnerability. Their duet narration crackles with chemistry, making every moment feel cinematic.

This dark, forbidden antihero romance is obsession done right!!
