BLURB:
Every assassin has an exit strategy – their ultimate plan for leaving that dangerous life and disappearing. They just never expect to live long enough to enact it.
Gabriel Prescott was no different.
But everything changed when he met fellow mercenary Justin Mallory.
Now he’s racing across Europe with Justin to put to rest old threats before they can end both their lives.
Of course, it will also mean coming clean to Justin about exactly who he is and who wants him dead. Gabriel can only hope that Justin will still want him when the truth comes out.
REVIEW:
Exciting continuation of the previous book. Things start out with Gabriel having been MIA off cleaning up loos ends from his past in order that he and Justin can move forward with their relationship without having to look over their shoulders. However, Justin soon gets word that Gabriel ran into some trouble and needs his help.
Justin saves Gabriel and the two quickly regroup and devise a plan to take care of the rest of Gabriel’s real family. Gabriel recovers much faster than you’d expect for someone who was tortured and beaten, but they don’t have much time to waste. They must eliminate the threats before they are taken out themselves. We learn about the real names and mainly Gabriel’s background which was definitely interesting. I liked how his sister wasn’t quite the same person he remembered and that Justin was there to help him see that.
There are some other twists and turns that keep things exciting, and the guys continue with their fun banter and sexy chemistry which I felt was well spaced out. We get a nice epilogue to see how the guys made out. I loved the no nonsense mercenaries falling in love but staying true to their personalities and hope we get to see more of them again.
