My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Retired Hitman Phillip was posing as a third-grade teacher to lie low when he discovered that Seth and Robin were being abused by their stepfather so he stayed around longer than he intended to keep them safe. On Christmas Eve he discovers that Robin had accidentally killed him while protecting Seth. So he felt he was the right person to dispose of his body. At the same time, Santa delivered the boys' uncle Lucas McCord who is a famous actor who is never out of the tabloids. Phillip needs to assess if he is trustworthy enough to care for the boys as he is recently out of rehab. An ill-timed photo in the press has them announcing that they are boyfriends and the key to repairing his reputation. Phillip's skills are perfect for navigating Hollywood and when he comes face-to-face with an old enemy he will use every weapon he has to protect them all.
This was a sweet story and I loved that both men were focused on the safety of the boys so anything between them was in some ways coincidental. There were some cute moments in the story as well as some funny moments and I found it a fun read. Easy to understand and pick up the feelings of the characters. This was an MM story with some mature content.
I received a free copy of this book from the MM Book Buzz's 12 Days of Xmas giveaway.
Please note this is a novella continuing the hitman’s story from What’s Santa Got to Do with It but can be read as a standalone.
Buy from Amazon
