J.T. Geissinger

Oh my! That was just the fix I needed after reading (and obsessing over) Midnight Poppy Land!

ohmigod, look at us two straight people intruding on queer spaces. How progressive is that?

Declan kidnaps Sloan because she's the best friend of the head of the Russian bratva's girlfriend (see previous books in the series). She hasn't taken the kidnapping well (understatement) but he's the head of the Irish mafia. There's lots of banter and the two are a great couple. It's a well-written and interesting story.

More like a paranormal suspense with some smut mixed in. 2.5 for the small plot twist that actually surprised me. Other than that, the smut plot wasn’t enough to keep me interested and made both main characters dry. This book could have been so much more, but fell short.
