Description

Cade “Ripper” Davies
I don’t do attachments. I don’t do affection.

I do my job, and it’s all I need. I’m a contract killer, and I’m a bad man.

But this girl, Shell, she’s getting to me. She started out as a convenient hostage, a means to an end. But for some reason, I’m keeping her safe, even though it means turning against a man I once considered my best friend.

There’s something about her, and not just that she’s sexy as hell. I can’t get her out of my head, and I can’t let her go.

Shell Birch
The first thing I notice about Cade is that he’s ridiculously attractive. The next thing I notice is that he’s pointing a gun at me. I’m not one of those girls who gets hot for dangerous men, but let me tell you, the shoulders on this guy… Looking at his hard, broad body makes me warm in all the wrong places.

He’s got a filthy mind and clever fingers, and he makes me dizzy when he touches me. I’m at his mercy, completely and utterly.

I’ve see another side of him, something unguarded and honorable. That side of him takes me and makes me his. But I can’t be his… not with the kind of life he leads, not with the kind of demons he has.

Oh, and I think I might be pregnant.

This a standalone romance novel with a HEA and no cliffhanger.

    I loved this book so much! And the reference to “Of Mice and Men” made me cry because that is my favorite book. All around a great story!
  • Kind of dumb

    This book is kind of stupid. Like, all of the characters have a warped way of thinking. Shell being attracted to Cade and falling into bed with him right after he killed Larbi was just weird. And Cade becoming a contract killer instead of seeing a psychiatrist is just weird. And the sex after gruesome scenes was..you guessed it..weird and dumb. Shell literally kissed Cade when he had blood splatter on him. Some of the sex scenes were just unnecessary. And what kind of adults over the age of 25 are so piss poor at communicating that they think that they’ve been rejected by one another, but they’re really in love? I know that this is a work of fiction, but this whole thing is too implausible for my taste. I read the whole thing, so I’ll leave some stars, but I constantly found myself commenting on how dumb this book was. And don’t get me started on Ice. He’s probably a psychopath and someone would have picked up on that when he was young, since he was in and out of the system. The likelihood of him avoiding prison and becoming an assassin are slim to none. And psychopaths typically don’t become attached to people the way that he was attached to Cade. Ugh

    I loved the book but wish it had more of an ending versus leaving us kind of hanging. Otherwise great read could not put it down!

    I liked this because the characters are messed up and raw and real... ish. I mean it’s far fetched of course, but the main characters definitely feel more developed than many characters in similar books. I liked the hitman story line, and plenty of “clutching my pearls” moments 😉
