Serena should have been mine.I surrendered my very soul to the mafia in exchange for her life.For five years, I’ve been the man they call when they need someone deadly. Dangerous.But despite the blood I’ve spilt, they’re after her again.When I started reading I couldn't put it down. Alexis Abbott is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

You know those goosebumps you get when you meet a hero that touches you just right? He's got you all tingly and smiling for no damn reason? That's Luca. Italian-born, this man rose up through the ranks of the mafia. He was the go-to guy when you needed things done and done right. He was lethal, cunning, cold and deadly. But for as much wrath as he had for the enemies of la famiglia, his heart and soul belonged to the girl of his past. Serena owned him and he had claim over her. Teenage lovers, the world of the mafia tore them apart. Now they're back together, but the mafia isn't done with them. Serena's a target and Luca will cut down, cut through, and demolish anyone and anything in order to protect her.

This new-to-me author has got me completely wrapped up in this Killer Trilogy. With one 'killer' of a cliffhanger, I'm desperate to find out the fate of these characters. I'm hooked! For Luca alone, his dirty mouth, his deadly ways, the amazing action scenes, for everything that makes this guy so super awesome, read this book. I bet you'll be as fascinated as I am.

I need to start by saying…..I am not a fan of Cliffhangers! And as this is the first of a trilogy, that is exactly how it ends. However, knowing that I have to wait for the next two books to get closure, won’t deter me from reading what comes next, as this was definitely an action-packed, fast-moving, dynamic read that had this reader on the edge on her seat.

Serena and Bruno are imposing and complex characters, whose chemistry is nothing less than explosive, and while some parts of this story are a little over the top, bear in mind this is a Mafia story and in that genre all bets are off. Danger is a must throughout this enthralling romance and anyone that likes their stories a bit on the sordid side of life will gobble this one up in one sitting. So please bring on book two quickly Ms Abbott, as I’m dying to know what comes next!

A great fast paced read with lots of chemistry, angst, emotion and heart. It ends on a cliffhanger but the next books are available thank god. I really enjoyed this and will be picking up the following books to find out what happens next. Wonderful easy to read romance

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

This is the first book in a trilogy so if you aren't into cliffhangers where you need to read the next book then it probable isn't for you The good thing is that book two and three are already available.

Bruno and Serena loved one another but the mafia pulled them apart He sacrificed himself and he became a hit-man for the mafia to keep her safe Now when she is been targeted to pay protection money he is back to keep her safe as he has always watched her from a distance keeping her safe. Now they are together again will they have a chance at a HEA or will the past tear them apart once again.

Killer for hire by Alexis Abbott.
A fantastic read with some great characters. I loved Luca and Serena. I didn't like Lorenzo and his goons. I loved how he protected her. Wow lots of action and romance too. This is book one of a new series. I cant wait for book two. This ends with a cliffhanger too. I liked the cover too. Highly recommended. 5*.
