My tentative goal for October is to read only thrillers/murder mysteries/dark romances/paranormals/etc (unless my mental health kicks up a fight about it). Here's Louise Collins's "Bye Baby." It's the first novel in her Flowershop Assassins series.
["Donnie King.
Ruthless, sexy and assassin extraordinaire.
Or at least he used to be.
Now, Donnie’s washed up, drinking himself into unconsciousness night after night. He needs one more hit, one more chance to prove himself, to reclaim some dignity.
Enter Elliot Austin, the blue-eyed, blond.
An easy kill, or he should’ve been.
Donnie botches the hit and wakes up tied to a chair with a knife pressed to his jugular. He waits for Elliot to finish him off, but his young mark does something unexpected.
He kisses Donnie, then speaks over his shoulder as he leaves.
“Bye Baby.”
Humiliated, Donnie vows to end Elliot, but killing him is anything but easy.
He’s gifted at getting away, and is always one step ahead.
He teases, and humiliates, and drives Donnie crazy.
It’s an addicting game of cat and mouse that forces Donnie to climb out of the gutter, and get himself into shape.
Donnie wants Elliot dead, but he might just want him alive that little bit more..."]
It took Donnie an embarrassingly long time to realize his feelings for Elliot. Like right up until (nearly) the very end, until it was almost to late. Buuuut at least he figured it out, right? ;)
I cannot (can. not.) wait for Yates and Ranger to find their happily ever afters. Yates’s is going to bite him in the ass. Rangers will come probably after he gives up trying to find it; and around the same time his memories come back—amnesia love story anyone????).
