Kings of New York #2
Ashton & Molly
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I read A Cruel Arrangement and now I have my usual problem after reading Tijan’s books: book hangover! I had no idea how Ashton’s book would turn out, since he’s dark and likes to hurt people. But then the author made a brilliant move, she gave him Molly Easter, a girl who is flaky, kind, gutsy and caring.
Her thought processes are so foreign to Ashton that she kept him on his toes all the time, she very easily disobeyed his rules, had a perfectly logical (to her!) reason for doing so, and got spidey senses when there is something wrong and won’t back down from helping. She’s a wonderful person with a dark side (she calls it “the switch”) and completely perfect for Ashton. She broke through his defenses and obliterated the wall he had around his heart.
The book is fun, funny, steamy and as always, includes characters who are a delight, family to Molly. Pialto and Sophie love Molly like family, are completely loyal and are completely complicit in any mayhem she comes up with. Jess starts a little distant but comes closer as she sees how much Molly cares and looks out for her. I saw in this story that Jess has started to laugh and enjoy life, even with the weight of Kelly’s death on her.
Molly is magnificent, she truly has had an effect on everyone, and no wonder Ashton, who is like an icicle at the beginning, melts into goo with her, but only with her and only in private. I loved the scenes where he would carry her around because she was freaked out and only he could make her feel safe. He would say hop on and she would climb him like a monkey! I also loved how Molly was nosey and escapey. She would appear behind bushes, hiding in the stairs, behind a wall, eavesdropping and generally minding others’ business. And unrepentant too! She was a delight and I found her adorable.
I also loved seeing Ashton fall like a ton of bricks for this quirky, wonderful woman. From confusion, to fascination, to love, it was wonderful to see his heart engage.
And let’s not talk about Molly’s theory of their group: Trace is the thinker, Jess and Ashton are the doers and thus compete with one another, and she’s the go-between, the glue that keeps them together. “I’m like added sealant.”
Entertaining, riveting, multi-layered and fantastic! Now I don’t know how to leave this world of Tijan!
