BLURB:
Finally working for a man he can trust has given Bill a new purpose. His boss, Christopher Manos, commands respect and absolute loyalty, and Bill has proven himself worthy of a seat at Christopher’s table. Becoming best friends with Christopher’s husband, Snow, has further proven his allegiance and cements a place for him in the Manos family. When Snow’s life is in danger, Christopher places his full trust in Bill to destroy anything and anyone that poses a threat to his husband. But hunting and wiping out the enemy for the safety of everyone Bill cares about means partnering with the one person he has vowed to never see again.
Mace wears a mask of vain cockiness and uses his model good looks to his full advantage. Known to many as Without a Trace Mace, he’s a deadly assassin well known for wiping out whole families and getting away without a trace. With a dangerous past and an unknown future, Mace uses his veil of conceit to keep others at a distance, rarely trusting anyone. When his boss, Black–the one man he trusts above all others—gives him his next assignment, he learns his newest partner is none other than Bill, the man he’d do anything to avoid.
With the safety of the Manos family on the line at the hands of a brilliant maniac, Bill and Mace begrudgingly put their differences aside to ensure Snow, and his loved ones, are protected from harm. With their lives in grave danger and the clock ticking towards zero hour, they navigate deathly perilous situations and uncertain outcomes, hoping they survive long enough to keep the Manos family safe.
Bill and Mace’s traitorous hearts draw them closer together no matter how hard they fight the inevitable. With the lives of their loved ones hanging in the balance, they find themselves in the middle of a dangerous dance. But when the music stops, will they both be left standing?
REVIEW:
Bill is not a nice person and he’s surrounded by people who specialize in being not nice. And it’s probably one of my favorite things about this book.
This is the third book in the Haven Hart series and I’ve loved every single one. The men in these stories are unapologetic about who they are. They aren’t horrible, but they do horrible things in the name of the business they’ve found themselves in.
Snow is Bill’s best friend and when Snow’s past comes after him, Bill vows to do anything to keep him safe and if that means working with his nemesis Mace, then so be it.
Mace works for the boss of a rival crime “family”, one that owes a debt to Christopher Manos, the crime lord who is Bill’s boss and Snow’s husband.
These two men circle each other like sharks and it’s a wild ride to watch. You don’t get this much heat between two people without having to put out a few fires.
But the more time they spend together, the more that Bill and Mace realize that they have much more in common than they ever realized.
This book made me smile a lot. Does it make me a bad person because I love that they don’t know how to play nice when it comes to getting their job done? That’s not to say that they don’t have their own code of honor. Keeping their word, no matter who it’s to, is important to them and they follow the rules of the world they live in.
The author does a bang up job in the way she makes us care for these men. We get their back stories, the terrible ways they grew up and how it led them to where they are today and those same back stories are what bring Bill and Mace together.
It’s wonderful to see Christopher and Snow from the first book in the series show up, because it’s like having old friends visit. Very dangerous and secretly thrilling old friends.
This story dragged me in from the first page and didn’t let me go until I closed the book, cursing the fact that such a wonderful story was over.
Sometimes, its good to be not so nice!
