“I can’t win with you people. First, I don’t kill him. Then I patch him up, say I’m sorry, make him some awesome coffees—”
Lars turns to St. Clare. “Is this guy serious?”
“I’m afraid he is.”
I had a blast reading this book! The idea of a sweet golden retriever himbo, like Perry, taking up a life of crime as a hitman to make a quick buck, but then having everything go horribly wrong, is just so funny. And I thought it was executed so good. Perry was a riot. He may have been hopeless as a hitman, but you just had to love the guy. Just ask St. Clare! Perry shot the guy’s ear off, and he still managed to fall in love with him.
I loved the banter between Perry and St. Clare right from their meet shoot, and it was so fun seeing them fall for each other as they worked hard to get themselves out of the giant mess they were in. It may not have been the ideal situation to find your person, but it worked for them. They were so cute together and had great chemistry. Perry was the kind of guy who would do anything for the important people in his life, and I loved seeing St. Clare become one of those people to him. Perry may not have always made the best choices, but his heart was always in the right place.
“It should be a whole lot harder not to like you than it is.”
“I can see that.”
“So why can’t I hate you and be done with it?”
I also loved all the twists and turns this story took. This book is much longer than your usual Saxon James book and was pretty plot-heavy, but it was such a fun ride. There were so many parts where things just kept happening, and I couldn’t put it down because I needed to see what was going to happen next. And there were so many surprises along the way. Just when you think you may have things figured out, you’re hit with another twist. I loved it. There were suspenseful and action-packed moments, but the humor and chaos of Perry were still there to bring levity.
If you’re looking for a fun book that’ll make you laugh and keep you guessing, you should definitely give Perry a chance!
He’s a fucking disaster, and maybe I should do some emotional soul-searching for why I find that so hot, but I don’t.
