She’s got it bad for a bad boy. Liri fell fast and hard for Killian. He was a force that she couldn’t escape. The push and pull she felt for him was intoxicating. His love changed her for the better. Love can be cruel, but it can also be worth the risk. And for Killian she was willing to risk it all. This is the conclusion of Killian & Liri. Book 2 of Cruel Love, book 1 must be read first.
**Disclaimer – you MUST read Book 1 before reading this**
I have been obsessed with Killian and Liri from the very first look that the author gave us of Book 1. Needless to say, I was on pins and needles waiting for Book 2. And no way was I disappointed! Book 1 left me devastated and I walked in to Book 2 not having a clue of what to expect. I’d break this book down into two parts – the part that left my heart shredded to pieces and the part that stitched me back together. This book has it all…the fear of loss, the anxiety of adjustment, the lack of knowing what’s to come next, addictive co-dependent relationships, whirlwind decisions…it’s just absolutely fantastic! And there is no way to predict the outcome of this story. Everything you think you know about Killian and Liri, throw it out the window because this story proves that you know nothing! I have so enjoyed riding along on this journey with the author. She’s a favorite of mine and I will always read everything she writes because it’s always that good.
Cruel Love Book 2 is the conclusion of the story of Killian & Liri. Your emotions will be all over the place as you witness the events of the aftermath of Killian’s accident.

You will be caught up in this second chance romance, you will laugh and cry as Killian and Liri take this journey to rekindle the love that was lost. This was a well thought out ending to a beautiful emotional love story between soulmates by Glenna Maynard. Thank you Glenna for giving your readers an amazing love story!! I voluntairly reviewed an advance copy of this book.
Great conclusion to a very crazy love story. These two….. My heart broke for them both. Just as much as my heart broke I wanted to slap them both. I wanted to scream at them, to Killian to get his head out of his behind and for Liri to stand up for herself. And that’s what makes this read so good. The relationship is dysfunctional, passionate and crazy. You gotta read it but remember read book one first. Great duet!
Glenna Maynard out did herself with The Conclusion of Killian and Liri’s story. Just when I think she topped her previous book, she does it again. Glenna is a wonderfully amazing storyteller who captures your attention from the beginning, sometimes rips your heart out, keeps you on your toes, but in the end leaves you with a smile on your face. This book had it all; love, devotion, angst, heartache. This story is not all flowers and sunshine, you’re taken on a turbulent ride, but the destination is worth it. I absolutely loved this book.
Emotional rollercoaster to the max. I knew going in this was a book I had to read in private as I expected that Liri & Killian was going pull at my heart strings. I am a horrible ugly cryer. No one needs to see that.
I wanted to shake Killian yet pull him into a comforting hug so many times. My heart broke so much for both Killian and Liri due to the circumstances they fell into. I thought the way each handled the results of the accident was pretty realistic. The back and forth. The uncertainty. The connection. All was believable.
Through all the ups and downs you are left with a beautiful happy ending the Killian and Liri deserve.
There are too many words to describe how much I loved this book. This was well worth the wait! Looking forward to Hayley’s book which should be just as epic
Carla’s Five Star Review
This is book two in the Cruel Love duet, so in order to avoid confusion, you should read The Story of Killian &Liri, prior to reading this one.
This book picks up right where book one left off. Liri is so in love with Killian, and yet she is devastated because he doesn’t remember her or their relationship. Of course, there is a lot of hurt and frustration swirling around them. How would you feel if you better half, your soul mate no longer remembered you or your relationship? As you can imagine, Liri is a mess. She does her best to be there for Killian, but he is extremely frustrated as well, so them being together doesn’t lead to the best situations. For fear of spoilers, that it all I am going to reveal about the story line. Trust me, this is one story you want to read for yourself. My suggestion? One-click both books now! I promise you will be glad that you did!
OMG……this book should have warning….prepare to cry! I couldn’t put it down! Liri’s heart and soul belong to Killian but he doesn’t remember her or “them”. That is until she gives him his Christmas present and all his memories return. Heartache and tears. Talk about second chance romance, holy hell Glenna, so glad you listened to Killian and let them have their HEA!
Killian and Liri Cruel Love Series is beautifully written. It’s filled with love, passion, lust, sadness and ANGUSIH.
“This time feels so different than every other time we’ve been together. It’s bittersweet and beautiful. Everything that true love should be but it’s also cruel.”
“I was wrong…I’m not strong enough for one more night. Neither of us are.”
The emotional tribulations that move throughout this book will have you heartbroken, furious and teary eyed. It’s like a dramatically changing manner of a roller coaster.
“I will carry you in my heart forever and always. Your love changed me for the better. You taught me a lot about the kind of woman I want to be. You showed me a love I never thought was possible.”
In this second book you will feel their love blossom and flourish. You will feel the torment and pain.
“One day you’ll regret this, and it’s going to be too late. I gave you all of me over and over again. Through all your lies I loved you. But not now and never again. You’ll never touch me again. I’d rather cut out my heart. Oh, that’s right you already did the job for me.”
The impactful journey Glenna takes us on is a turbulent one. Very well written, a gripping conclusion and simply perfect!!!
“One day. Just not today. I’m still breathing. That’s gotta count for something.”
I loved this heart-wrenching story! I started to believe these two finally reached the point of no return.
Things with Killian went from bad to worse in a blink of an eye. Liri held on as much as she could, but everyone has their limits.
I hated the way Killian was. He made me want to tear him apart, but I also loved him just as much. I guess I completely understand where Liri was coming from. I could feel my heart crack each time Killian screwed up. I was actually happy for Liri when she chose the path she did around Christmas. And even though I would have liked a tiny bit more for the epilogue, it was the icing on the cake!
Great read! Loved it!
