This was quite an interesting story. I dove right in and didn't stop until I was done! This was really, really good! Loved that Clay had a guardian angel looking out for him!!

Good read
I like how understated everything is, not a lot of angst given clay's background. I've read other books about children trained to be assassins, and those had more psychological angst, but this book doesn't dwell on it, which works for me. It has the right amount of heat too. The writing is tight and clean, no extra superfluous prose. Highly recommend

Hit or Miss, Indeed
If you read the blurb and roll your eyes at the possibility that an assassin and a bodyguard can get together after they independently realize that the assassin's target and the bodyguard's client are the same person, stop the eye roll.This one works.Actually, it's almost hilarious how it works and in a twist on most MM romance thrillers it takes a while for big blond hunky bodyguard Elliott and wily, wiry, fit Clay to hit the sheets, which is the whole point but not really.This is a plot-driven book in a plot-driven series in which characters from one book pop up in another (very briefly and to no effect in one case, very importantly because a subsequent book features one of them).This one has two interesting MCs but to my mind the one who is the central focus is Clay the assassin. What a life tale he gives us. Even though we eventually see that both he and Elliott have very similar child histories Clay's evolution into a paid assassin is far more interesting than Elliott's evolution into a Marine and security provider.This one, like most of Romeo Alexander's works, surprised me by how it interrupted my reading of some other really good books on my Kindle in order to get to the end.On to the next one.

Great!
Wow! This story has some angst and more than enough trouble but somehow Clay and Elliot find their way through everything and come out the other side with more than they dreamed possible.

Enemies to Lovers
This book is a slow burn, enemies to lovers. Thereβs some spice to this story but it is mostly plot line. It was nice to read albeit wordy at times.***Mild Spoilers***I wish we could have found out who hired Clay in the first play, because my first impression is that it was Gregory. Also, I really want to know more about Fate.

Unexpectedly good
I was intrigued by the blurb for this book but didn't really expect too much. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed this book despite the subject matter. (Not too fond of assassin types.) Elliott was, of course, a terrific character. Clay took a little while to like because of his profession but I appreciated the character's honesty and liked these two together. Intense and interesting. Definitely worth reading. Great book cover.

Cute assassin v bodyguard romance
I love these Fort/Port Dale series of books from Romeo. They're not necessarily very clever plots or overly complex narratives, but they are just fun.In this one two people with surprisingly similar backgrounds who ended up down very different paths in life end up finding the love of their life in extreme circumstances.I loved both Clay and Elliott and I was surprised at part of the plot, I thought the author might twist it in a different direction.Overall though, a medium steamy and cute romance.

Hit or miss
A real slow burn, not much happened throughout the book. Most of the book was to do with the back story and the two main characters seemed to be rushed and cramped into the last few chapters, it was a shame because the last few chapters were the best bits.

Wished it was longer
Although I loved the storyline, I wished it was longer. It felt both rushed and slow at the same time.We didn't really experience a progression of their love, it felt static at certain point. It felt like the whole book occurred in one day.I REALLY ENJOYED IT AND SAW THE POTENTIAL. JUST WISHED IT WAS A BIT LONGER AND I DIDN'T WANT IT TO END.

Great read!
This was another great read in this series. I loved getting to know Elliot and Clay, and experiencing them in their respective work environments. The story flowed well, and kept me turning page after page. It was interesting and fun. I look forward to reading the rest of the series, and would recommend this book to others.
