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 "Raging Ranger." It's the third novel in her Flowershop Assassins series.
["Ranger Keyes, assassin, occasional stripper and full-time hopeful (not hopeless) romantic is determined to get his happily-ever-after. His best mates, Donnie and Yates, have both found love, and he knows it’s finally his turn to step into the spotlight and star in his own love story.
For that, he needs a co-star, and he sets his sights on one guy and one guy alone.
He may have a chip on his shoulder and a permanent frown on his face, but Ranger knows that Troy’s the guy for him. Convincing Troy to go on a date, let alone that they’re supposed to be together isn’t easy. Troy’s guarded, and dismissive and tells Ranger repeatedly he isn’t the co-star in his love story, he’s the bad guy.
But how can he be the bad guy when he’s put butterflies in Ranger’s gut?
How can he be the bad guy when he helps Ranger with his building rage?
How can he be the bad guy when Ranger falls in love with his laugh?
Ranger’s about to find out exactly how…"]
'kay, listen, I totally had an idea where this was going and how exactly Ranger would get heartbroken (and how Yates would loose his shit), but holy shit, I did not expect what happened.
Also, Ranger toooootally adopted those two "attack" dogs he "rescued" at the end of Yates's book. They practically stole the show here. I loved them. I want more of them. Just a story about the dogs being...them (they also kinda reflect Ranger and Troy in a way..).
