Have I got a fantastic series for you all today! Are
you into Dark Mafia and Hot Alpha Bad Boys? Then you need to check out
this series by Sam Crescent and Stacey Espino. The Killer of Kings series
is full of those bad boys we love and the women who bring out the best in
them. These guys are particularly endearing as none of them had some kind
of stellar upbringing. They are all sure that they are not meant to find
love and their HEAs, but thanks to these lovely ladies they are so very
wrong. Each book is going to draw you in and keep you until the very
end. Currently this series is only 6 books, but I can only hope that we
will be blessed with many more. I think you are all going to love this
series, read below for the book blurbs and my reviews, be sure to let me know
what you think when you read the series.
Happy Reading

Viper has always been a bastard, a nightmare, death for
hire. He's known for his swift kills, so he isn't surprised when he's offered
seven figures for a new hit. It’s supposed to be a quick find and eliminate.
When his mark turns out to be an innocent twenty-year old with big blue eyes,
he shouldn’t care one way or another—but he does. Viper wants to keep her for
himself.
Pepper’s step-father killed her mother, and she’s been on the run ever since. When a hitman shows up on her doorstep, covered in ink, and strapped with heat, she expects to be his next victim. But she’s wrong. Viper keeps her safe from the mercenaries hoping to cash in on the world-wide contract on her head. He’s everything she’s not, but she still finds herself falling hard for her captor.
With the odds against them, and death waiting around every corner, can they find true love in each other? Or is Viper only interested in taking her innocence?

The good girl and the bad boy
Do you like your book boyfriends to be rough and tough
gorgeous alpha males? Then Viper is the perfect bad boy for you. Of
course, this over the top alpha is already Pepper’s willing slave, but you are
going to love his take charge attitude as he works to bring them both to their
perfect HEA. These two authors work so well as a writing duo and I can’t wait
to read the next book in the series.

No mercy. No pity. No women.
Bain has always worked solo, refusing to allow anyone to lord over him. His life has been fucked up enough, and he’s learned trust comes with a price. When he finally accepts an invitation to work for Killer of Kings, he regrets the decision after his first contract. It was supposed to be simple, now there’s a curvy little temptation tied up in his basement.
Scarlett struggles to move up in a career where appearances are everything. When she lands a risky interview with a known crime boss, she hopes it will be her big break as a reporter. Instead, she’s caught up in the middle of an assassination and taken hostage by the hitman. She wants to hate the tattooed devil, but finds herself intrigued by his story. Is it the reporter in her wanting to know more…or the woman falling for a broken man?

Official published review:
I’m the lucky one
The men of Killer of Kings are rough and tumble and know
just how to latch onto your heart. Bain is this incredibly wounded beautiful
soul who shows almost no emotion, that is until he finds Scarlett. The authors
broke the mold when they created Scarlett for Bain. She is this perfect
kind-hearted woman who has been through the worst and still has a spine of
steel. This story was great and during the course of it we met so many alpha
males who have yet to find their HEA. I can’t wait to see who will be the next
to find their one.

He's a killer. She's raising his son. He's coming back for
both of them.
June's used to living life in survival mode. With no family support or husband, it's been up to her to raise her ten-year-old son on her own. It's not easy, especially when she has a living reminder of the only man she ever loved. But that asshole walked out on her without warning, leaving her brokenhearted and pregnant. When he reappears back into her life a decade later, she's no longer a naive young girl, and not ready to throw herself into his arms—no matter how tempting that might be.
Killian's biggest regret in life is falling in love on the job. It wasn't supposed to happen, and the only honorable thing he could do was walk away. Everything he'd told June was a lie, and she deserved better than a hitman for hire. When they cross paths years later, he's blindsided when he discovers he's a father. It's a challenge to earn June's love and trust after the lies and disappearing act, but he's not letting her go this time. He'll prove to her in more ways than one that she's his woman. When an unknown threat puts a hit out on Killian's new family, the Irish assassin is ready to send them all to hell in the name of love.

His mini me
The authors just continue to keep the momentum rolling with
this series. I really enjoy the way they reveal a new background to each of the
Hitmen with each new book. This particular story is full of the action and
adventure we love and the alpha males we have come to expect from these two
authors. I really enjoy the fact that Boss seems more and more human with
each new book. I hope that they continue you with this series and keep
bringing us these rough bad boys and the stories of the journey to their HEAs.

Shadow keeps to himself, never mixing business with
pleasure. Business is killing. Pleasure is the girl next door.
Riley never had help growing up, but she’s determined to make something of her life. She used her own blood, sweat, and line of credit to buy her home and bakery. Everything is perfect—only it’s not. She’s lonely and can’t stop obsessing over her sexy, mysterious neighbor.
Shadow has perfected his self-control over the years, so ignoring Riley comes naturally. But when the curvy temptation becomes entangled in his world, targeted by a group of assassins, he takes personal responsibility for her safety. She’s cute, feisty, and he plans to show her just how dark and dirty he can be. If they can stay alive, they may just have the love of a lifetime.

The way to his heart
Shadow has to be one of my favorite Killer of Kings hitmen.
He is quiet, unassuming and a total bad boy. All he is looking for is a sense
of normalcy, he doesn’t believe he can ever find love. Luckily for him fate,
and Boss, are on his side. When he meets his neighbor, everything changes for
him. I love that the authors brought him this wounded woman who needs love just
as much as he does. Their story is one that is sure to stay with you long after
you close the book. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

He never planned to take her...
There was something about the waitress with the black eye. She made him remember where he came from, and he knew he couldn't stand back and do nothing. Chains kidnapped her, locked her away for her own damn good. He killed the bastard who left his mark on her. Now he has to face judgement for claiming his prize.
He stole her in the dead of night...
It had been a rough shift at the diner, but the man sitting quietly at the back made Lori feel special. He ordered the pie, made her smile, then walked out of her life. She never expected to see him again, but he came back to take what was his. Chains made her feel valuable despite the chains, loved even though she was his captive. When she's given the chance to run, she can't. He's taken over her body and mind, and she wants more. If only she could save him from what was coming ... because some sins can't go unpunished.

The old ball and chain
Chains gets his nickname honestly. The authors gave him a
background that would leave most adults cringing in fear, but they made him
remarkably well adjusted. At least on the outside. Then he meets his girl and
all bets are off. The authors might have given them a disturbing beginning, but
they follow it up with a HEA that you are going to love. I can’t wait to read
the next book.

Is the devil capable of love?
Xavier doesn't do trust. He breaks. He kills. After living through hell, he's transformed himself into El Diablo, the baddest motherfucker around. His only weakness is the sister he lost as a child—the one Boss promises to help him locate. The only catch is he has to work for Killer of Kings and learn to play nice with the other hitmen. He does his job, determined to prove himself. Then she walks into his life, and nothing is ever the same.
Alesha hits the jackpot when she's hired as Xavier Moreno's house cleaner. She has her own private suite, and the wealthy businessman is rarely home. Things change in a heartbeat when he comes home drunk one night, covered in blood, and telling her stories about murder-for-hire and a secret group of assassins. He also reveals a side so broken that she can't help but fall for him. Can a killer fall in love with his cleaner, or will he add her to his hit list?

The man she loves
Xavier might not be the kind of man you take home to mom,
but he is the man you want. This poor guy has had a hard life, but the authors
manage to bring him a little bit of light when he hires Alesha to clean his
house. The authors did a fantastic job of showing his growth and her love, they
even threw in a little bit more of Boss’ humanity that he keeps well hidden. I
was a little bummed that his sister didn’t want to embrace their relationship,
but who can blame her with the life she’s lived. I hope the authors continue
this series. I really want to see Boss find his HEA, plus I’m sure he has more
hitmen who deserve to find a little love.
