About this ebook

They’re hitmen. Trained assassins. If they nail this job, there’s a payoff. Possibly cookies.

But first, the bad stuff. Dante’s done with hitman life, but there’s one last job to do. A favor to the Duke of Dovlano targeting brutal gun runners. Dante calls on comrades, Matteo—brilliant, brooding, lethal—and charming Sebastian “The Dentist” LaDouceur. Each has skills he’s honed to take out threats at all costs. They’ve also got soft spots for family, lost loves, baby farm animals, and iambic pentameter.

But when the job falls apart, their carefully laid plans go up in smoke. Can three killers with a conscience stick together, or is it every man for himself?

This fast-paced novella kicks off an unexpected genre from this talented scribe. The storylines were busy, action-packed, and went in all directions at once while introducing three quirky mercenaries with an eye on taking down bad guys. This installment was short, amusingly detailed yet tense with impending peril while peeling back just enough layers of their past to taunt and tease my curiosity while leaving me hanging about their future. If I didn’t know the next installment was already on its way I would be stamping my little foot and swearing a blue streak as well as a pox on this wily author for the heinous cliffhanger. I do believe I’m hooked.

This is a prequel novella teaser to the Assassins in Love series. It ends on cliffhangers for each of the three main characters. As long as you understand that, you’ll enjoy the story. It introduces us to three good guy assassins, Dante, Sebastian and Matteo. While they are waiting to do a job, we get just enough of their back stories and their current troubles to get you excited to find out what happens next for each of them. This teasing taste was well written and engaging. I am excited to see how the stories for these men play out.

I loved this idea for a prequel! I don't think I've ever seen it before. In a nutshell, we're introduced to two of three heroes in upcoming novels. The third we are becoming reacquainted with. Dante, Matteo, and Sebastian are working a job together. (Based on the series name you can probably guess the kind of job.) So we're getting to know them and how they interact with each other. It was fun and I definitely can't wait for each of their stories. I was generously provided with an ARC for my honest review.
