Contemporary M-M romance. Ari is an assassin. Mostly to the people that need killing. When an 8 year girl, with bruises showing, asks Ari to help her and gives him a couple of dollars in change for his fee, Ari doesn’t hesitate. Since his experience with foster care isn’t great, Ari adopts the girl. She wants to learn his trade? He can teach her. And his friends rally with teaching her to pick locks and other enterprising tasks. Along comes Carter, who needs Ari’s help on a job, and soon their group has a plan. Entertaining if a bit moral deficient. Humorous as the men try to figure out how to properly raise an 8 year old girl. It’s a strange life, but Remi is happy and loving all the things she is learning for her goal to become The Widow. Aka a Marvel heroine worship. She’s safe and being cared for. The romance of Ari and Carter takes on a family feel as friends joke about their kissing. Steamy sex does occur, but not in front of the child! And it seems there may be an underlying theme of good here. If you look hard enough. Enjoyable. I look forward to more of this light hearted series. Being demi myself, I recognized Ari's sexuality immediately (I've seen a few reviewers guess it as ace, but it's more he needs familiarity (demi) than that sex is unappealing, and that his reflexes work against closeness. The child is brilliant and quick, and felt the most fictional - but I didn't care. I adored these people and this story and am VERY glad this is book 1. Carter's lovely. Ivan is hilarious. Kyou is the quintessential hacker - and this guy he protects/stalks is intriguing. Given that we have an assassin, a mercenary, a thief and a hacker, this is still a surprisingly light, delightful story. I know! But it works! And then there is a short "Afterstory," which starts just before the first scene, but from Sarah's pov. Sweet. Unnecessary IMHO, but sweet. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

I love AJ's books for the simplicity of a straightforward story laced with sarcasm and humor with occasional quirks. They help space out the more complex or darker stories. ( )
