From the blurb:
Who Doesn’t Want Their Enemies Destroyed For Christmas?
A Second Chance for the Accidental Serial Killer
Eddison “Eddie” Wheelwright isn’t a bad guy, he’s just a chronic klutz. He escaped his abusive father by going across the country for college. To make his exit, he was forced to leave behind a good friend, Tyler. Eddie told himself Tyler would be fine. Years later, Eddie runs into him again. He has been hurt and is on the verge of homelessness. Tyler has not been fine. Guilt eats at Eddie, and he can’t ignore Tyler’s plight, especially since it’s almost Christmas.
Hope for the Homeless Man
Tyler Morrow hates a lot of things. His ex-stepfather, who gave him the scars on his face. Eddie, who left him behind to be tortured. When their lives collide on one of the worst days of Tyler’s life, Tyler decides to ignore Eddie. The plan fails when Eddie murders a man who exploited Tyler. He can’t help but give Eddie another chance to be part of his life. And a brand-new shot to earn space in his heart.
The List
Tyler has a list of men who caused him pain. Only Eddie has no clue what the list is for, so he sets out trying to solve the riddle. Through a series of unfortunate accidents, he leaves most of the men dead. Tyler thinks Eddie is murdering these awful men to protect him. What will happen when he learns the truth? Will he forgive Eddie for taking credit for something he didn’t do on purpose? Or will this be a death blow for their new relationship?
SNik's review:
Part of a multi-author series (The Naughty List), but can be read as a standalone. Former stepbrothers and friends. Dual POV. Heed content warnings.
Seeing his former stepbrother again is a shock to Eddie, and so is discovering that the list of names Tyler has, with Eddie’s name on it, is a hit list. Tyler has been struggling for years, but when Eddie kills a man from Tyler’s list he decides to give Eddie another chance, and maybe give in to their mutual attraction.
An accidental hitman? Sign me up. Eddie is hilariously clumsy and actually the holidays are bringing him some insane luck and the chance to have Tyler back in his life. I enjoyed the dark humor of this story, with Eddie and Tyler actually finding happiness together was the icing on the cake. Some touches of the holiday, along with plenty of steam, and some inadvertent justice served kept me entertained and smiling through this book. A bit of a cameo from the authors book Speak and Obey was fun, and really Eddie and Tyler are perfect for each other.
