BLURB:
The big, bad wolf meets his match in this pint-sized assassin…
When the angel of the Omega Assassins Club, River, is given a second chance on his latest mission, he swears this time, he’ll put that bullet where it belongs, right between the eyes of the hitman who nearly killed his packmate.
Known only as Behemoth, the hulking alpha hitman is feared due to his humongous bulk, but he’s not all talk. He’s a ruthless warrior who sold his soul long ago and has spent every moment since then earning his nightmarish reputation. So, when he catches the tiny omega trying to put an end to him, he should have no problem repaying the favor.
River’s inability to kill the alpha a second time forces him to believe there must be more to the man of legends beyond the way he makes River feel warm all over. How can he feel safety in arms that have done so much evil? Behemoth’s sole goal in life has been to protect his younger brother but the things he’s done to ensure a safe future have convinced him that he is a monster—only River can see through to the good man within.
But, Behemoth made his deal with the devil and now, the devil wants his due. All he has to do his hand over his angel.
Behemoth is the third book in the Omega Assassins Club. It is packed with action but with the same spice, humor, and heart. A swoon-worthy HEA is guaranteed! Other books in the Omega Assassins Club include:

Quench
REVIEW:
Well, this took a turn I NEVER saw coming. I should have known after how book 2 kind of left things off with a certain situation, but it still shocked me that it turned out this way. And with River. And you need to read book 2 to find out what happens first, if you haven’t already.
River was sent to take out a target called Behemoth. Behemoth had tried to kill Van, and River was going to make things right. But when it came to actually doing the shooting, he couldn’t do it. And Behemoth got the drop on him. Now a prisoner of the man’s, River is doing all he can to break free and does several times, until he gets literally chained to the man. But as they are stuck together, River is learning Behemoth isn’t the monster he claims to be. Yes, he may have done bad things, but then so has River. And most of what Behemoth has done, has been in order to keep his brother safe. But the man Behemoth worked for, has changed the rules of the game. There’s a whole lot more at stake with Behemoth’s brother and now River as well. And in order to be free, Behemoth plans to put his life on the life, but River knows it won’t help and refuses to let him do it. But with all the alphas trying to kill them, will they all make it out alive?
I never expected when River went after Behemoth, that it would turn into something else. I should have expected it. I really should have lol. But with Van’s life almost snuffed out, I figured that wouldn’t have changed anything. But that didn’t change a thing. River kept trying to do what he was supposed to do but just couldn’t. Then it got turned around on him. But that was actually funny. Behemoth kind of knew what he was dealing with with River, but he never knew to the extent, until he saw it later firsthand. But even before that, he knew River would be dangerous for him. But it was funny the way they bounced off each other. It was like a one-up type of thing. It really was funny. But I really like Behemoth. Even when he tried to kill Van, it wasn’t personal, it was a job. Maybe not with the best company…..but a job none the less. And after the way he was raised, he thought himself a monster. His past wasn’t the worst, but it wasn’t the greatest either. It was odd and it left him off. So he did what he thought he was. But what I love about River, is that River shows him how he sees Behemoth in his eyes. Not as a monster, but as a protector and someone loveable.
I’m ready for the next one. Between Nolan and Zeb, I don’t know who I want to see get taken in by an alpha more. They both need someone to change their thinking and ways of life. Not with the assassin’s guild but as life in general. All these omegas have not had it easy, but they are proving that omegas should not be taken for granted the way they have been. The omegas are just as important and deserve rights as much as everyone else. And I’m ecstatic to see this series where they are taking it back. One alpha at a time.
