This is a great story with great characters. Dark, fast action, sexy, even steamy at times, exciting world with werewolves, gangsters, assassins, dysfunctional families, shrinks and good friends. What more does a girl want? ( )

Sue wants to hire him to assassinate her so she can be free from her abusive family. He helps her want to live, all the while trying to keep his wolf in check and deal with mobsters.

Wolf, hyena, python shifters. Tony is a wolf shifter turned due to an attack and Sue is human. ( )

The hero is a killer for hire and though he's affiliated with the Mob and a blood thirsty werewolf to boot, he's really a nice guy. When the heroine hires him to kill her, he's a little taken aback and turned her down due to her near celebrity status but in his heart he denies her because he feels a connection to her. After she witnesses him in the Change and doesn't freak out, they very quickly start a love affair and even beginning dating not halfway through the book. The heroine is clearly very depressed because of her family and very insecure and demanding because of it. It started to annoy me a little bit just how clingy she was to the hero but she had her charms and her kindness to make us for this flaw. One major thing about this book that I loved and never see in a romance novel was the fact that the whole story is written from the males point of view. ( )

2.5 stars. I didn't enjoy this as much as the previous books. Didn't really feel the chemistry between the MC's and I never really warmed up to them. And why have Gabriel be a werewolf? He barely acted like one the entire book.

Was nice to see Kris and Rafe again though. ( )

The story starts with a hitman being hired to kill the person hiring him and finding out that actually there's an attraction there. She's a lottery winner who is losing the will to live and he's a werewolf who is finding his life as an assassin successful but empty. He wasn't always a werewolf but he's learned to cope.

I enjoyed it, both characters came across as being very real and very in love. I'm looking forward to more in this series. ( )
