Christopher Perri—a.k.a. Dante Perry—infiltrated the Madigan organization with one goal: vengeance for his murdered partner. Falling for the assassin at the head of the table wasn’t part of the plan, but Hawes Madigan is not the cold, untouchable Prince of Killers Chris expected. Everything about the newly crowned king is hot, and every inch of him eminently touchable…and off-limits once Chris’s cover is blown.
Exposure couldn’t come at a worse time. Hawes’s throne is threatened, and Chris suspects the same person who killed his partner is behind the coup. Working with Hawes benefits them both, but Chris’s employer has other ideas. Dismantling criminal organizations is what Chris does best, and his boss expects the King Slayer to deliver.
But Hawes is taking the Madigans in a new direction, one Chris can get behind, and the two men form a shaky alliance strengthened by the irresistible attraction between them...until Chris learns who killed his partner. Once he knows the truth, the King Slayer is unleashed, and Chris will stop at nothing to destroy those who betrayed him, including the king who stole his heart.
Twists and turns—and cliffhangers—continue in book two of the Fog City Trilogy. Read at your own risk!
Lively and sexy!
The second in the Fog City series was packed to the gills with twists and turns and told from Chris/Dante's perspective. King Slayer kept me guessing and turning the pages which is something of a rarity for me these days so hat tip to Ms. Reyne on that front. But this book hooked me right away with the thriller/whodunit storyline then sealed the deal with the weapons grade UST.
Chris and Hawes are "on the outs" in this one. Deeeee-lish-cious! I love it when couples who aren't "supposed" to be together can't stay away from each other. Hawes and Chris definitely cannot. Against everyone's wishes, though I think most of them understand that they are inevitable so it's a weak protest at best, they keep colliding in the sexiest of fashions. Once in an alley even! 🙌🙌
Bonus points continue to be awarded for the the kinky adjacent-ness that they've got happening between them.
Not to discount the action/thriller aspects which are on point so if you are a fan of action, this is a book for you. Multiple high octane action sequences keep the pacing brisk and all of these encounters come with the added benefit of basically ensuring Chris and Hawes have to at least cooperate if not full on collaborate on uncovering the culprit. The baddie isn't outright revealed but I thought it seemed pretty obvious who it is so... cliffhangerish? At any rate, watching it unfold in the finale should be a fun ride. And hopefully a sexy one too. 🙏
In short, it's shaping up to be one helluva finish and I am here for it!
