Fiction. Romance. Suspense. LGBTQIA+ (Fiction.) No indiscriminate killing. No collateral damage. No unvetted targets. These are the rules Hawes Madigan lives by. Rules that make being Fog City's Prince of Killers bearable. Soon, he'll be king-of an organization of assassins-and the crown has never felt heavier. Until the mysterious Dante Perry swaggers into his life. Dante looks like a rock god and carries himself like one too, all loose-limbed and casually confident. He also carries a concealed weapon, a private investigator's license, and a message for the prince. Someone inside Hawes's organization is out to kill the future king. In the chaos that follows the timely warning, Hawes comes to depend on Dante. On his skills as an investigator, on the steadiness he offers, and on their moments alone when Hawes lets Dante take control. As alliances are tested and traitors exposed, Hawes needs Dante at his back and in his bed. But if the PI ever learns Hawes's darkest secret, Hawes is sure to get a knife to the heart-and a bullet to the brain-instead. Contains mature themes.… (meer)

I didn't like the narration from the start and listened to 1st two chapters twice to understand wtf is going on.

I think the idea was mafia prince but uwu and it didn't really work, at least for me.

Also apparently I read this author before but I totally forgot about it ( )

I went into this expecting for it to be way more romance focused. Really, this is a mystery and it isn't a bad one, it's just not what I was expecting. There were also parts where I was just very bored and I didn't find any of the twists really that surprising. I think my reading experience was a little hurt by the fact that I drop this one for a while before finishing it so all the details weren't as fresh. This did end on a cliffhanger but not one that really made me super interested in picking up the next book. I've read another book by this author and I liked it more than this one. I like a romance with more plot but for me, this one just didn't have enough romance and I was having a hard time believing the relationship. I might pick up book two at some point but probably not in the near future. ( )

I’m still oscillating between a 3.5 or 4, but rounding up for now.

After the super fun trilogy that was Trouble Brewing, I was hoping the author would write a spinoff about some of my favorite characters, but instead we got this brand new series starter featuring assassins. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting and I still dont know what I’m feeling at the end.

Hawes is the titular character, the Prince of Killers and head of an organization of vigilante assassins. Despite his activities, he really is a loyal and kind man who loves his family and his city, and just wants to build a legacy that will keep the innocent people safe. I loved his interactions with his family, their love and banter is on point and pretty entertaining, even during daunting times. Dante on the other hand is an enigma - despite his assertions that he wanted to help Hawes, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. We also don’t get his POV, so I felt like I didn’t get to know him well enough; just that he has ulterior motives. There is obviously very interesting chemistry between the two right from the beginning and I can see the potential for explosive times, but we only got a glimpse of it this time. I thought both the characters of Holt and Helena were fascinating and very much in contrast to Hawes, and that makes them a pretty cool trio. I love how they always stuck together and I appreciated that family dynamic.

Layla Reyne writes very fast paced novels and this was no different. I flew through the book in just a few hours and never wanted to put it down. There is betrayal in the air right from page one and the author made sure to sustain that suspense for me throughout. I really couldn’t guess the identity of the traitor and that was a nice shock. The story takes place almost in the span of a week, so I liked how the author showed the possibility for more for the couple and didn’t veer into instalove territory. It was all going fine until that monster of a cliffhanger that made my jaw drop and I don’t even know what to do now anymore. Wow was that a brutal last line.

Finally, I just wanna say that this was a fun and entertaining novel, definitely more in the suspense category rather than the romance. If you enjoy books with antiheroes, vigilante assassins and kickass siblings, then this book is for you. There is a lot of suspense going on here that’ll keep you guessing. But be prepared for a completely unexpected cliffhanger at the end that will blindside you. I’m still reeling from the shock and can’t wait for the sequel. ( )

Wow, that was quite a ride. From the beginning to the very last paragraph it threw surprises, explosions, and twists at the reader. I thought I knew who the mole was, then I didn't. I questioned everyone's loyalty. This was a well written and fun read but beware it is book 1 of 3 and it ends on a cliffhanger for both the story and the relationship. ( )

OMFG!!!!! This was so good. There were so many twists and surprises, and I never figured out the mystery!!! It was so well woven. And that ending. Damn you are KILLING ME! I need to know more right now. I did not like that ending. Please hurry and write book 2. Pretty please! Lol

Now that I have calmed a bit, I loved it. Ms. Reyne has a way with words, especially action packed ones. This was excellent.
