Dante didn’t set out to deceive. His favor for a pal in prison got him this farmhand job, and Jen needs help guarding more than her blueberries. Someone’s set on hurting her, and he’ll make damn sure they don’t. She can’t know who sent him or why he’s handier with a handgun than a hoe. But none of that matters more than keeping Jen safe.
To save the girl, he’ll have to pair old skills with new. A princess tea party and an old-fashioned gunfight? Why not. Grape stomping and grenades? Sign him up.
But as the enemy closes in, there’s one skill Dante finds he doesn’t have: The strength to walk away when the job is done.

Review: The first part of Killer Instincts is absolutely delicious. Dante is probably one of the funniest hit men around and his reaction to some of the situations he finds himself in when he starts working for Jen is hilarious.
I found the second part of the book a bit weaker and that's why I'm not even considering it as a romantic suspense - because, frankly, there wasn't all that much suspense going around.
The end felt rushed and not as amazing as the beginning of the book, but Killer Instincts will still account for a few well spent hours if you love the genre.
Killer Instincts is supposed to be book one in the Assassins in Love series and I definitely intent to read the other two books as soon as they are published.
Happy readings,
