BLURB:
Being an assassin wasn’t something Lexington Campbell ever envisioned for himself, but after spending eight years doing just that, he’s prepared to take his place at the table of his father’s motorcycle club, The Iron Heretics.
Arden spends his nights dancing on stage at Spritz, one of St. Louis’s hottest night clubs, and waiting for Lex to pass back through town. After being orphaned young, he fears letting himself get too attached to the distant, bearded Lex, even after three years of inviting the man into his bed.
When Lex finds himself with a price on his head, he unknowingly pulls Arden into the darkness with him. When things aren’t what they seem, and enemies abound, will they find themselves still standing together in the cold light of day?
This book is part of CRIMINAL DELIGHTS. Each novel can be read as a standalone and contains a dark M/M romance.
Warning: These books are for adult readers who enjoy stories where lines between right and wrong get blurry. High heat, twisted and tantalizing, these are not for the fainthearted.
REVIEW:
Each series in this book has been so interesting. The different takes on each subject and the characters. I think with this one, my only….thing..would be I wish there was a bit more action. Especially with one of the MCs being an assassin. But it was good. Definitely a few twists in there and a few I wanted to smack. And quite a few who got what they deserved.
Arden and Lex have been ‘dating’, for like three years now. More like nights filled with sex considering how little they knew about each other. And it was more than obvious when two hit men came after them in Arden’s apartment. Lex took them out quickly and Arden got to see what Lex really does. It’s a definite shock and it takes him a bit to come to terms with it, but he eventually does, until things start getting worse. Someone who’s supposed to protect them tried to rape Arden and someone he thought long dead kidnaps him for something he knows nothing about. And he may not make it out alive to finally tell Lex how he feels.
Well, nothing like along up in the middle of the night to find out your boyfriend or whatever they were at the time, is an assassin. And unfortunately, it brought up bad memories for Arden when parts of his family died. So yah, shock would be mild in this case. Bless his heart, he was almost comatose. Who could blame him? But I liked Arden. No matter what that boy has had to deal with, he’s survived. It’s not been easy but he’s a fighter and he keeps getting up to fight again. He’s a good guy.
With Lex, it was kind of comical. Here is this big badass motorcycle club member and assassin, who goes all teddy bear with Arden. Just goo. But he’s thoughtful with him. Kind, compassionate. Takes real good care of him and makes sure he’s protected. As best he can anyway. Sometimes things just happen.
Another good book in this series. Assassins, bikers, and murder. All kinds of stuff going on. If you guys haven’t read this book or this series, you need to.
