Book Blurb

The plan was simple: get in, kill the target, and get out. Things got complicated, lines were crossed, and hearts were pried open.

My name is Rylan and I’m not who you think I am. I’m never who I appear to be. I am the wind. I am the shadow that fades quietly into the night. I’m an assassin and I’m here to kill the father of the man I love.

Book Review

Assassins can be fascinating people, and Rylan, the narrator of this story, pulled me in from the beginning. Partly that was due to the expert way he used his sexual appeal to draw in his "victim", but partly it was the clearly "moral" reasons for why he wanted the man who was his target dead. It reminded me that morality, after all, is in the eye of the beholder. While that was not the focus of this book, the assassin himself summarizes his own morals early on: "If I was going to take a life, it was going to be because the fucker deserved to die not because he pissed off the wrong people." Well, that answered all my slightly worried questions, and I gleefully focused on the fun and sexiness of the story.

Rylan is more than a little arrogant, very sure of his talents both as an assassin and as a lover. He is always alone, but he doesn’t seem to mind. Until he meets two men while he is on an assignment, and everything changes. Not That Rylan notices or admits this right away, for him it's still all about the fun he can have with a few very hot threesomes. Intermingled with all this, ahem, activity he still attempts to fulfill his mission, believing that is all his life is about. But vanishing "quietly into the night" is suddenly a lot less attractive than it used to be…

Gold and Loxy are not all they seem. Not to the same degree as Rylan, who is a master at hiding his true identity, but they each have their secrets and hidden agendas. Rylan discovers Loxy's early on, but Gold's are a little more difficult to decipher. Not that they spend much time in serious discussion, trying out the various toys on Rylan's space ship takes precedence and good times are had by all.

If you like space operas and daring adventures, if you enjoy reading about men who walk into danger while thinking about sex, and if you're looking for a read that is filled with daring escapes, hot activity inside and outside the bedroom, and a touch of emotion to top it all off, then you will probably like this novella.
