Side character Tavish takes the lead on this The Hitman's Guide adventure, The Mercenary's Guide to Mishaps and Romance.
From the blurb:
Ellis
Why is it that the first attractive man to look my way mistakes me for a bad guy, stuffs me in the trunk of his car, and ships me off to an island where I’m positive the only thing waiting for me is my own murder?
I mean... yeah, Tavish is charismatic and fun, but did I mention the whole trunk thing? Oh, maybe I forgot to mention his peculiar group of friends who keep promising to “help” me, but why are they running around with masks and weapons while praising fences?
Tavish and his friends are actually the bad guys, aren’t they?
If I (somehow) look past all of that… Tavish really does seem like a nice guy. He’s caring, funny, and willing to risk his life to protect me. It’s become quite clear that if I’m going to get out of this alive, I’m not going to be able to do it without him.
Tavish
So maybe I mixed things up a wee bit and took Ellis on a tiny road trip that he might not have been privy to. Ellis doesn’t seem to overly mind. I mean, yeah, maybe he tried blinding me with aerosol spray… or maybe I was just blinded by his handsome smile.
The problem is that Ellis is in danger, but he knows nothing about this world he’s been thrown into. He’s sweet, kind, and has the biggest heart of anyone I’ve ever met. And I’m prepared to protect it at all costs.
Contains a charming man who lays on a Scottish accent to get his way, a bewildered vet tech who’s wondering why everyone around him is so strange, a parrot who may or may not want to steal Tavish’s man, and the Hitman’s Guide crew up to their usual hijinks.
Jacquie's Review:
Tavish gets a man in the adorable and very sweet, Ellis. There might just be a misunderstanding when they first meet that leads to a lot of hijinks while they figure out just why Ellis was targeted in the first place.
I was delighted when I found out Tavish was getting his own book because he was a fun and sort of unwilling addition to the crew. If you love found family vibes where the family constantly roasts each other, then The Mercenary's Guide to Mishaps and Romance is a winner.
Ellis has a connection to Leland and Jackson before they meet in this book, and Leland sort of adopts the vet tech. I really liked that though he was sweet, Ellis wasn't a pushover. He has principles but it willing to fight to protect those he cares about, which is lucky for Tavish, since he's one of those people.
Leland, of course, gets a few chapters of his own. He's still adjusting to fatherhood and letting out his softer side, ew, emotions, but he's grown so much!
There's so much action going on in this book and plenty of laughs. So much fun!
I hope we get a book for Micah at some point.
