Let me tell you...Elamy Pride's "Fatal Attendant" is fucking amazing. It's the first in their series, The Hitman and The Heir (and it does end on a HFN cliffhanger). But it is sooo worth it.
["Gabriel is an enigmatic, audacious hitman known as X, that you never see coming. When he signs up for the job of his lifetime, it's not just a jackpot payday he is after. But as the stakes get higher, will he enact his revenge or, ironically, find himself signing off on his own death warrant?
Being the rightful heir to an intimidating mafia empire is not for the faint-hearted, it's akin to navigating a tempest in a teacup. Born into a den of wolves, Dante Montelli is more than just a silver-spooned heir; he's a storm waiting to unfurl. But is Dante's zest for flying high a reckless plunge or the perfect strategy to rule his perilous kingdom?
Buckle up. It's going to be a turbulent ride."]
My freaking GOD, I'm obsessed with Gabriel. He's deadly, but he's so quirky and fun and sassy (and he knows it). He knows what he's worth and what he can do. He's flirty, even in the face of death. Speaking of the face of death, you have to be THAT good to impress a mob prince (and his grump bodyguard), and Gabriel does just that.
Dante...oh Dante. You have no clue. Well, he has some. He knows Gabriel is different and he trusts his gut when it comes to him, but he doesn't know why. He also "doesn't know why" he's oddly attracted to him--and oddly protective of him. You'll figure it out (Sofia has).
I canNOT wait for the rest of the series. I normally don't love HFN cliffhangers, especially when the rest of the series focus's on the same couple (it's sooooo much angst and plot and secrets and slow-burn-ness), but this book was SO worth it.
Trigger Warnings: non-con moments, violence, murder, and more.
