5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Julien
I’m a hit man, an assassin. A deviant by all accounts. I never pretended to be the good guy.
She was the opposite.
But the minute she pulled the curtains of her window back and saw my face, watched me screwing the blonde who happened to be my next mark, she sealed her own fate. There could be no witnesses, ever.
I let it go on a few days though. Never closed the curtains, gave her one hell of a show. I liked it, liked seeing her get all hot and bothered. Her face so innocent, so…corruptible. And all that time she was watching, she had no idea I’d seen her, that I was watching her too.
But all good things must come to an end.
Imagine my surprise when I turned up to take care of her only to find two goons breaking down her door, weapons in hand.
Turned out she had a price on her head. Her stepbrother wanted her and he wanted her alive. I’d never been one to pass up an opportunity to collect the kind of money he was offering, especially if I could have some fun while I was at it.
It just never occurred to me she’d be anything more than my next mark.
Mia
Curiosity killed the kitten.
I’ll never forget the look in his eyes when he said those words.
When I watched them from the window, I didn’t suspect for a moment that he’d seen me, that he was watching me back. Not while he was doing what he was doing to the woman on her knees before him.
But then she turned up dead, and he turned up in my hotel room, waiting for me in the dark.
I didn’t think for one second him being there that night would save my life. I’d been on the run for two years, but my stepbrother had finally caught up with me. Or his two thugs had.
Finding out I had a quarter-of-a-million dollar bounty on my head convinced Julien I was more valuable alive than dead. But to collect it would mean returning me to my stepbrother, who had sworn to make me pay for what I’d done.
Julien was cruel. He was merciless. He scared the crap out of me. But there was something else, something he never wanted me to see. Inside, he was broken, like me.
My stepbrother was wrong if he thought I’d let him get his hands on me ever again. I had no intention of allowing that to happen, even if it meant I’d have to sleep with the devil to survive.
And I had no doubt Julien was the devil.
* Please note: This standalone dark romantic suspense is complete at 68,500 words. No cliffhanger, only a badass Alpha male who doesn’t seem like much of a hero at the start, who uses strong language, and likes dirty, kinky sex. Some readers may find him offensive.
Review
Julien is a hitman and a good one. He never asks questions, he never fails and he gets the done job done in whatever way he deems necessary. But when a young woman, Mia, sees him with his next target he knows he has to silence her in a permeant way; never leave a witness no matter what. But she intrigues him, especially as she watched while he had rough, dirty sex and didn’t turn away. And when her story comes to light he thinks he has 2 options, silence her or trade her in for money but could Mia make this ruthless and cold hitman think about more than just sex and killing and save herself in the process?
“I’m a hit man, an assassin. A deviant by all accounts. I never pretended to be the good guy.”
A thrilling, intense, suspenseful, dirty, hot and rough story that will suck you in and keep you breathless right till the very end.
“No witnesses, no matter what. That was rule number one. It had to be.”
I absolutely loved this story! I couldn’t put it down and finished it in a day! It was so intense and fast paced; I loved both the main characters and the plot was exiting and new and get me gripped!
“It was just so innocent, so… corruptible. Irresistible to a man like me. I always liked to play with them first, fuck with them a little. It was cruel, reprehensible, really. I knew it, but it didn’t make me enjoy it any less.”
Mia has had a messed up and unfair life so from the beginning you feel for her even though you are not sure what’s going on, you know she’s running and she’s scared. But you soon discover she is also brave and courageous and faces the danger that’s following her to do the right thing, despite knowing she could end up dead.
“Having him like this, so close, his breath on me, his scent around me, his big arms caging me in… it made me wet. Even though I knew what he was, what he had done, it made me wet.”
Julien is so dangerous and the ultimate bad man, and despite his profession I couldn’t help but want him. He’s dirty, cocky, self-assured, dominant and so bloody hot that’s he’s scorching. Make no mistake that Julien is a bad man, he has done terrible things but as the story develops you realise there is more to his personally than just the emotionless hitman, a lot more!
“This man who terrified me was suffering. I didn’t know if some sick masochistic side of me wanted to help him or what, but I needed to hear his story, to understand his pain.”
The plot was new, exciting, fast paced and full of twists and turns that kept me on my toes. It was suspenseful, it kept me guessing and there was so much action and danger which I love! The sex were some of the dirtiest and hottest I have read in a long time (I wouldn’t read this in public!) and throughout I had no idea what Julien was going to decide and if Mia would end up safe.
“This man was danger. This man —he brought death. And I wanted him, even now as he lashed me, God help me, I wanted him.”
I highly recommend this read for those who love a venture into the darker side of reading and be prepared to read this non-stop as you won’t be able to put it down!
