The Accidental Assassin




Ava McKenzie is a creature of habit. Life is passing her by and she has nothing to show for it. She’s had the same job since she started college, she orders the same dish every time she goes to her favorite restaurant, and only reads books from authors she knows. There is nothing new or surprising in her life… until her best friend marries a man from London. When her newlywed friend asks her to house-sit while she honeymoons, Ava jumps at the chance. She thinks this could be the very thing she needs to shake up her life. Ava throws herself head first into her new lifestyle; she wants to try everything, go everywhere, and never get stuck in a rut again. Of course, offing a man in a car garage hadn’t been one of the things on her list to try.

Owen Walker spends every day in a new place with a new case. As one of the most renowned assassins in the world, he has his choice of marks—and he’s never failed in a mission. When a new hit takes him back to his hometown, he looks forward to spending time somewhere familiar. What he isn’t expecting is to help an attractive, confused American woman find out how she’s ended up on a hit man’s list.

As Ava and Owen dodge bullets, will they be able to escape their undeniable attraction to each other? Or will all of that chemistry blow up in a shower of hot and dangerous sparks?







Dopo aver letto Killing Sarai della J.A. Redmerski, per il mio gusto, i thriller romance hanno un altissimo livello da equiparare se non addirittura superare. Devo dire che questo libro The Accidental Assassin di Nicole Chase ci va molto vicino. Si tratta di una cosa totalmente diversa, anche se ritroviamo i conflitti interiori dell'assassino, e l'amore che sboccia tra la donna immischiata per sbaglio e l'uomo da cui dovrebbe stare più lontana.

Nicole Chase, si conferma una scrittrice dallo stile fluido, trama avvincente e gradevolissima, per non parlare dell'umorismo che pervade tutto il romanzo con battute estremamente simpatiche e divertenti. Scene romantiche e di sesso c'è n'è sono ma non è tutto scopata, muscoli e orgasmi. Abbiamo una trama interessante e misteriosa, i personaggi sono molto piacevoli ed è avvincente seguire l'evolversi del rapporto tra i protagonisti. 

Ava, una ragazza che è sempre andata sul sicuro, si trova a Londra per tenere controllata la casa della migliore amica in luna di miele. Annoiata della sua vita piatta e priva di avventura, decide di voler cambiare rotta e il giorno in cui decide di dare una svolta alla sua vita e lo stesso in cui incontra Owen, vicino ad un cadavere!!!

Owen, ha sempre lavorato da solo. Fare l'assassino è qualcosa che gli riesce bene e non ha intenzione di fermarsi. Non accetta casi frivoli, se deve fare fuori qualcuno è perché sono persone che hanno fatto del mal a qualcun altro o sono dei criminali. Owen, potremmo definirlo un angelo vendicatore.
Rassegnato ad una vita in solitudine, cerca di combattere l'attrazione per Ava, il desiderio di averla accanto a se anche per più di una notte. Sa di non essere giusto per lei, e che la metterebbe in uno stato di pericolo costante se le permettesse di restare insieme a lui. Ma qualcuno sta cercando di ucciderla ed è compito suo proteggerla. 

Riuscirà Owen a salvare Ava e evitare che le persona che la vogliono morta adempiano al loro piano? Una volta risolto questo mistero che ne sarà di loro? Troveranno un modo per restare insieme o le loro strade si divideranno definitivamente ? 

Con questi interrogativi, lascio a voi la scelta, ma io ve lo raccomando assolutamente. 
Per quanto mi riguarda, questo non sarà l'ultimo libro di Nicole Chase che leggerò. Pensare che la incontrerò di persona al Dublin Authors Signing event!!! Non sto nella pelle :-)
Buona lettura!





I twisted the steering wheel sharply as I exited the garage and almost knocked over the doorman. But he was holding a large gun in one hand and to my shock he fired directly at my window. The glass shattered, but I didn’t feel any pain, which I hoped meant I wasn’t hit. I ducked in a belated reaction and the car swerved wildly, but the gun-toting hottie next to me steadied the wheel.

“I knew that doorman didn’t like me.” I gritted my teeth. “What an asshole. He’s almost as bad as you are.”

“I’ll drive now, if you’d like.” He said it like we were taking turns on a road trip, not running for our lives. Maybe he wasn’t running for his life. But I was still running for mine. I didn’t know what this guy wanted with me. Was I supposed to just let him drive me to some creepy kill room? An image of walls draped in plastic, knives on a table, and a bed with chains filled my mind. I didn’t think so.

“Now? You want to drive now?” My voice rose with each word. “Sure, I’ll pull over at the corner for a snack and let you take over. Holy shit! Are you crazy?”

“Has anyone ever told you that for such a beautiful woman you have a very dirty mouth?” He smiled at me as my mouth worked silently. “I think I like the odd combination.”

“Fuck you.” I glared at the road.

“So does that mean you don’t want me to drive?” He nodded toward the traffic that was growing thicker. “Do you have a plan for where to go?”

“The cops.” I didn’t mention that I had no idea where they would be located. I’d just stop the first one I saw. “And you told me to get in the driver seat.”

“You’re sure you want to go to the police?” He leaned back into his seat, getting comfortable. He looked, for all the world, as if riding around in a car with a bomb attached to it was normal. “You killed a man and fled the scene in his stolen car—which has a bomb attached to it. Oh, and someone was trying to kill you. I’m sure being locked in a tiny room with nowhere to run will make their job much more difficult.”

“Maybe they were trying to kill you. I can imagine why they’d want to.” I growled and turned down a street that was one way only. And I was going the wrong way. I muttered under my breath as I dodged cars and people honked at me. “I should’ve stayed in bed today.”

“Possibly. They were very sloppy.” He pointed to a street. “You should turn here and take the roundabout.”

“Roundabout?” My heart dropped into my stomach and I broke into a cold sweat. “That seems like a bad idea.”

Roundabouts were the devil. If you’ve ever tried to drive through a roundabout after years of driving in America, you’d understand. Everything was completely backward to how you instinctually drove. It gave me an ulcer just thinking about it.

“We’re being followed. We need to lose them.” He looked at me with serious eyes. “If you want to live, we need to put distance between us and the people in the black sedan.”

“Oh, Jesus.” I jerked the wheel and our car shot down the road toward the evil traffic circle of death.





Quick Note: THE ACCIDENTAL ASSASSIN will be $2.99 for the first week and then the price will rise to $3.99 after December 7th

Collins Drake exercises control over all facets of his life. From his business, to satisfying his physical needs … it all happens on his command.

So when a woman shows up at his door and reminds him of a promise they made each other when they were just ten years old, it shouldn’t have the ability to rock his entire world.

Yet it does.

THE SERIES:


Filthy Beautiful Lies

**Warning: this book contains an addictively filthy alpha male who will dampen your panties and own your days and nights. Proceed at your own risk.** 

Meet Colton Drake...

I have no idea why she auctioned off her virginity for a cool mill. Regardless, I’m now the proud new owner of a perfectly intact hymen. A lot of good that will do me. I have certain tastes, certain sexual proclivities. My cock is a bit more discriminatory than most. And training a virgin takes finesse and patience – both of which I lack.

Sophie Evans has been backed into a corner. With her sister’s life hanging in the balance, the only choice is to claw her way out, even if that means selling her virginity to the highest bidder at an exclusive erotic club. When Colton Drake takes her home, she quickly learns nothing is as it seems with this beautifully troubled man. Being with him poses challenges she never expected, and pushes her to want things she never anticipated. 

A sinfully seductive erotic romance where everything has a price and the cost of love is the highest of all from New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Kendall Ryan

Filthy Beautiful Lust

From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Kendall Ryan, comes the third book in the Filthy Beautiful Lies series.

Pace Drake loves sex. He knows where get it, what to say, what to do, and he makes no apologies for satisfying his needs. But when he meets single mom, Kylie Sloan, he's enthralled by her, and begins to question his standard operating procedure. After all, there's no chase, no mystery when banging a woman in a nightclub bathroom. Kylie's depth and determination make the sloppy, drunken hookups that fill his weekends seem empty and shallow. She's the opposite of the desperate, clingy women he's used to. She doesn’t want or need anyone to take care of her and that only makes him want to care for her more.

Kylie's trust in men has vanished. The last guy she was with played ding-dong-ditch-it with her uterus and left her with a baby to raise. Now her infant son is the only man she has time for, even if she misses sex and intimacy more than she'd ever admit. Opening her heart up to a younger man who's best known for no-strings-attached sex and his casual lifestyle is probably the worst idea she's ever had. But Pace wants to prove to her there are still a few good guys left, and watching the sweet way he interacts with her baby makes her want to try…but she can really trust that his days of hitting it and quitting it are in his past?

Filthy Beautiful Lust is the third book in the Filthy Beautiful Lies series, however it can be read as a standalone novel (no cliffhanger). To understand the full growth and development of the characters, it is recommended that you begin with book 1, Filthy Beautiful Lies.

Grace:

A few seconds later, Noah’s phone beeped. He pulled it out
of his pocket and smiled when he saw Grace’s text.

“Now you have my number. I’ll um, talk to you later then?”
Grace asked as she began taking a few steps backwards.

Noah nodded his head and winked at her. “Most definitely.”

Turning around Grace and I began walking back to the houses.
“Oh my gosh, Grace Johnson. Who is he and why have I never heard about this
Noah?”

Grace chuckled and brushed me off with her hand. “Honestly,
I never thought I would lay eyes on him again. I ran into him as I was running
after Alex, he knocked me down, helped me up and we exchanged names. That was
it.”

“Well he certainly remembered you.” I turned to look over my
shoulder. “And he is staring at your ass as you walk away.”






Colt:

“What do you mean Colt is moving in here?” Lauren asked as
everyone looked at her. The smile that spread across Colt’s face for a brief
second was caught only by me. He looked back down and sent someone a text.

Alex looked at Lauren and then Colt. “Marie James told me
you took her out and y’all had a great time. She seemed to be taken with you.”

“Huh, interesting,” Colt said as Lauren looked at him.

“Wait, you’re moving in here?”

Nodding his head, Colt answered Lauren without looking at
her. “Yeah, Lauren I am.”

He stood and pushed the stool back. Taking in a deep breath
he blew it out. “Speaking of Marie, I’ve got plans with her so I guess I’ll see
y’all around.”

Colt started to head to the door when Lauren got up and
turned toward him. She began to follow Colt and it appeared she wanted to say
something. Finally she was going to talk to him. Lauren was about to say
something when she stopped walking. Looking away from Colt, she turned and sat
back down.

Stupid. So fucking’ stupid.

The silence between us, right as it felt, was thick with emotion. I smiled and kissed the top of her head. “You like the place?”

Her voice came out just above a whisper. “I love it.”

She turned in my arms. “It’s a little bigger than a hot dog stand.”

I tried not to laugh. “That it is, Maestro. But wine and desserts suit you better.”

With a quick glance at the stone buildings, her expression fell. “I didn’t imagine we’d be taking over a business. Somehow I thought we’d build one of our own.”

“We will make this our own. But it’s only our first venture. We’ve got the rest of our lives to create whatever we want.”

Her eyes softened as her gaze fell to my lips. “I like that thought.”

Pulling her closer, I smirked. “What thought is that? Your hungry expression makes me think work is the last thing on your mind.” The deep pink blush on her cheeks gave away just how naughty her thoughts had gone. “Really? We’re talking about business and in two seconds flat you want to jump me?”

She broke away with a gentle shove to my chest. “It’s your fault. Your touching me does it.”

I held my hands up, doing my best to impersonate innocence. “I did nothing. But just so we’re clear: For us to work together, there’s a hands-off policy?”

Her mouth broke into a wide grin. Then her teeth tugged on that sexy lower lip of hers as she took a few steps backward. “I’m not making any rules. You’ll only break them.”

True. I tilted my head down, gaze never leaving hers, and stalked forward, matching her slow retreat step for step. Then my attention scanned downward. “What are those things over your legs? You’ve never worn them before. Not sure I approve.” They hid all her tempting olive skin from me.

She clutched her purple scarf and the lapels of her knee-length black coat as she opened her arms wide. “They’re knit tights. To keep my legs warm. There are other things in this world meant to go under my skirts besides petticoats.”

“Inconceivable.” I smirked. “But now all I can think about is what’s under those knit tights.”

She stretched her arms behind her, which pulled the material of her dress taut over her breasts. Her nipples had hardened. A fact my eyes caught even in the dim light—a Cade Michaelson superpower.

I heaved in a breath. “I am meant to go under your skirt. The most important thing.”

Mischief glittered in her eyes a split second before she made a run for it in the opposite direction. I let her think she could escape, but her feeble attempt at speed gave her away. She wanted to get caught.

After an easy jog, I captured her with a gentle colliding hug, swept her into my arms, and backed her into the stone railing, sitting her on its wide surface. Her soft laughter rang out as I nudged her legs open and stepped between them.

Heart racing from more than the chase, I bent down and ran my lips a hairsbreadth from her neck beginning at her collarbone and ending just below her ear with a slow exhale. She shivered and wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

I nipped her earlobe with my teeth, growling low. “The things I am going to do to you under that skirt. Filthy-as-fuck things that will have you begging for more.”

Her voice was a breathless whisper. “Oh, like what?”

“You know I don’t give itineraries.” I slid my hands up under the soft fabric of her short dress. The waistband of the tights gave way to my exploration.

The moment my fingers slid along warm skin she gasped and gripped my biceps. “Your hands are freezing.”

“I’m pretty sure they won’t be much longer.” When I skimmed lower, I blinked and pulled back. “You’re not wearing a thong.”

She gave me a slow headshake. “I usually go commando with tights.”

“Fuck. I’m liking tights more and more.” I gripped the sexy globes of her ass, and she groaned, leaning toward me.

She let out a measured breath. “We can’t have sex right here.”

“Oh, we can. It’s entirely possible and definitely feasible.” I’d completely blocked her with my body. Would it be risky in this very public place? Yeah. Would it be asinine to do it, knowing we sought to run a potential business here? Absolutely.

Amnésie à Paris - Velia Rizzoli Benfanti





Claudio è un giovane docente italiano che vive a Parigi, città che non ama, per stare vicino a Javier, il suo compagno. Un giorno, però, perde la memoria e si ritrova spaesato in un presente che non riconosce.
Una sera, stanco della sensazione d’ansia che lo attanaglia ormai da un mese, si rifugia in un bar. Quando Javier lo trova, percepisce il suo profondo dolore e decide di portarlo in giro per la città, raccontandogli momenti diversi della loro storia. Come un pittore che, dipingendo la tela, svela l’oggetto del dipinto pennellata dopo pennellata, anche Javier rivela la loro vita, tappa dopo tappa, mostrando a Caludio i momenti belli e anche quelli più dolorosi.
Durante quella notte magica, passeggiando per Parigi, Claudio riscopre il suo uomo, spogliandolo di tutta la diffidenza che fino ad allora lo aveva avvolto.





Cinquantasette pagine intrise d’amore e nostalgia, questo è ciò che riassume questo racconto. Mi ha avvinta fin da subito, non mi sono fermata finché non ho letto la parola “fine”. Il personaggio di Claudio, spaesato e pieno d’ansia e paura verso il futuro a causa di un passato che non ricorda, ispira da subito tenerezza, ma è Javier che mi ha conquistata, su tutta la linea. Perdere la memoria e non sapere più nulla della propria vita, svegliarsi a trentacinque anni e non avere nemmeno un ricordo di chi si è, deve essere tremendo. Molto più difficile, secondo me, è ricordare ogni cosa, ogni stupendo dettaglio di quindici anni d’amore, il primo bacio, la prima volta, la proposta di matrimonio.. e leggere l’indifferenza negli occhi della persona amata. Svegliarsi un giorno per andare al lavoro e poi scoprire che la metà della tua anima non ti riconosce più, che ti teme, che ti reputa un estraneo. Io non me lo riesco ad immaginare. Javier invece persiste, con dignità ed affetto, ad assistere Claudio. Non si sa se recupererà mai i ricordi, ma lo porta a casa e lo culla di notte quando si sveglia urlando per incubi sconosciuti.



La sera in cui la misura è colma, Javier porta Claudio in giro per Parigi in un tour della loro vita, raccontando come se fosse una favola non solo la loro attrazione e l’amore che avevano condiviso, ma anche aneddoti su amici e famiglia.

“E la mia famiglia? Che tipi sono i miei genitori?”“Lasciamo perdere. Se in tutto questo mese non li hai mai sentiti ci sarà un motivo”“Quindi siamo noi due solitari senza famiglia, giusto?”Javier si sciolse dall’abbraccio, lasciandosi scivolare stancamente le braccia lungo il corpo e, con tono di voce di chi non sa più se riuscirà a lottare in una guerra persa, disse: “Eravamo noi la nostra famiglia”




Più volte Javier viene comparato ad un soldato che lotta in una battaglia che non si sa se lo vedrà vincitore, ma la descrizione che lo calza maggiormente è quella fornita da Claudio:


Se un pittore del Rinascimento avesse mai ritratto un angelo stremato, avrebbe sicuramente scelto di dargli il volto di Javier. L’uomo sembrava portarsi dentro la stanchezza di una vita, di una battaglia che sapeva di non poter vincere, ma che continuava a combattere perché, dentro di lui, quel combattimento aveva un valore. A quell’Angelo Stremato non importava il risultato, lui credeva in quella lotta e non vi avrebbe rinunciato. Claudio pensò di riconoscervi la stanchezza infinita di chi ama e sa di non essere più ricambiato.




Non sono tutte rose e fiori nel loro passato, hanno lottato per il loro amore, per stare insieme, per il loro lieto fine. Questo è ciò che rende più umano il racconto. Nella vita non sono tutti arcobaleni e unicorni, l’amore a volte non basta per andare avanti. Javier ha il coraggio dei suoi sentimenti e svela tutto a Claudio, felicità e dolore perché la verità è l’amara medicina che tutti dobbiamo prendere.

Questa volta era Javier ad aver bisogno di essere scaldato. Se una persona avverte il freddo provenire dall’esterno può sempre coprirsi, ma se il freddo proviene dall’anima, solo un abbraccio la può scaldare.




L’epilogo è tutt’altro che scontato, una sola notte non può colmare un buco di una vita, ma se ne vale la pena, persistere non è affatto diabolico.

“You know what rhymes with drunk?” Sam asks. “Sex!”

“Nuh uh,” Meredith replies with a frown. “But fuck does!”

“Drunk and fuck do not rhyme,” Mark says with a surprised laugh.

“It’s closer than sex,” she says defensively.

“Everything rhymes with sex when you get to have it with an apa,” Jules says.

“Julianne,” Nate warns her.

“It’s true!”

“What’s that like, anyway? I’ve always wanted to know.”

“You can’t have sex with my husband.” Jules frowns for a second, then a smile spreads over her gorgeous face. “Well, maybe you can.”

“No,” Nate replies quietly, “she can’t. No offense, Alecia.”

“None taken.” I grin at the crazy-hot man. “You’re hot as fuck, though.”

“He really is,” Jules agrees happily. “And the apa…wow.”

“Will you get one?” I ask Dominic, just as he takes a sip of wine, and he immediately chokes.

“Fuck no.”

“Maybe I’ll have to find someone with one,” I say thoughtfully. “Just to give it a try.”

“That’s it.” Dominic stands with me in his arms and doesn’t even set me down as he begins to stalk out of the tent.

“Where are we going?” I look over his shoulder and see the others laughing and watching us leave. I wave happily and they all wave back.

They’re so friendly.

“I’m going to teach you a lesson, tesoro.”

“A lesson?” I giggle and bury my nose in his neck, breathing him in. “I’m kind of dizzy.”

We pass by the barn. I can hear voices, heavy breathing and Meg giggling.

“I think we found Meg and Will,” I whisper into Dom’s ear, as he hurries past.

Merde, I didn’t need to ever hear that,” Dominic grumbles, making me giggle more. He strides around the store building, where I stood a few hours ago with Jules and Natalie, sets me on my feet, and pins me against the wall.

“I dare you,” he begins with fire in his bright blue eyes, “to say again that you’re going to go find another man to fuck.”

“Um, it was a joke, babe.”

His eyes narrow and his nostrils flare, and I know I’m in big trouble.

“Are you jealous?” I ask incredulously.

“Not usually,” he says. “I’m not the jealous type, but what’s mine is mine, Alecia. And you’re mine. What I have with you, I don’t want with anyone else. You’re all I fucking think about.”
