Assassins to Order #5
Dancing with the Devil
Wyatt is a planner, weighing up all the options before he decides. Only Fate has other ideas. Now Wyatt is dancing with Devil, just not in the way he’s expecting.
James—aka—Devil, learns quickly through the assassin program the only way to survive is to shield himself in a cocoon of protection. Living a life where striking terror is far easier than dealing with messy emotions, only Wyatt isn’t letting him hide.
Now these two men, Fate has put together, must navigate together this new life, breaking free from the chains of their past to embrace the unexpected—family.
A spin off of Assassins to Order where you find out just who the Devil is!

About the author
J.P. Sayle
109 books343 followersWhere does one start with about what I do?
I’m a writer, but I’m sure you guessed that by now if you’re reading this, hey? What you might not know is I’m a little quirky, live in my pj’s most of the time and have cake Saturdays with my sisters every week. I dedicate a little of my time to taking care of my grandbabies and on the dedicated writing days I like to write an eclectic mix of romance, suspense and paranormal fantasy. In the main I’ve written gay romance but I’m branching out under another the pen name in the future, so watch this space.
I’ve a passion for books like you would not believe and it led me down this path and now I’ve over 29 books released and heading towards releasing a whole lot more. The way my head is I never know where I’ll be headed next. I hope you’ll find a little joy in my words and follow me to see where the journey takes me and you.
If you’re interested at some point in 2021 I’ll be writing under the name JP Paton which will be F/M crime and Fantasy two of my favourite things. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled

Par où commencer par ce que je fais?
Je suis écrivain, mais je suis sûr que vous l’avez deviné maintenant si vous lisez ceci, hein? Ce que vous ne savez peut-être pas, c'est que je suis un peu excentrique, que je vis dans mon pyjama la plupart du temps et que je prends un gâteau le samedi avec mes sœurs chaque semaine. Je consacre un peu de mon temps à m'occuper de mes petits-enfants et lors des journées consacrées à l'écriture, j'aime écrire un mélange éclectique de romance, de suspense et de fantaisie paranormale. Dans l’ensemble, j’ai écrit une romance gay, mais je vais dans le futur sous un autre nom de plume, alors surveillez cet espace.
J'ai une passion pour les livres comme vous ne le croiriez pas et cela m'a conduit dans cette voie et maintenant j'ai plus de 29 livres publiés et je me dirige vers la sortie de beaucoup plus. La façon dont ma tête est, je ne sais jamais où je vais me diriger ensuite. J'espère que vous trouverez un peu de joie dans mes paroles et que vous me suivrez pour voir où le voyage vous mène, moi et vous.
Si vous êtes intéressé à un moment donné en 2021, je vais écrire sous le nom de JP Paton qui sera le crime F / M et Fantasy deux de mes choses préférées. Assurez-vous de garder les yeux ouverts

¿Por dónde empezar con lo que hago?
Soy escritor, pero estoy seguro de que ya lo habrá adivinado si está leyendo esto, ¿eh? Lo que quizás no sepas es que soy un poco estrafalario, vivo en mi pijama la mayor parte del tiempo y tengo pastel los sábados con mis hermanas todas las semanas. Dedico un poco de mi tiempo a cuidar de mis nietos y en los días dedicados a la escritura, me gusta escribir una mezcla ecléctica de romance, suspenso y fantasía paranormal. En general, escribí romance gay, pero en el futuro me voy a diversificar con otro seudónimo, así que mira este espacio.
Tengo una pasión por los libros que no creerías y eso me llevó por este camino y ahora tengo más de 29 libros publicados y me dirijo a lanzar muchos más. Por la forma en que está mi cabeza, nunca sé a dónde me dirigiré a continuación. Espero que encuentres un poco de alegría en mis palabras y me sigas para ver adónde nos lleva el viaje a ti y a mí.
Si está interesado en algún momento en 2021, escribiré bajo el nombre de JP Paton, que será F / M Crime y Fantasy, dos de mis cosas favoritas. Asegúrate de mantener los ojos bien abiertos

1.5 ⭐️
I am peeved 🙄
This book wasn't needed.
(Especially not before Econ found his mate! He sounds like the most interesting of the bunch, he's a computer geek who likes magic on top of being a badass assassin)
It annoyed me especially because they went middle of the road with it. Either you make James pay for what he's done because even if he was abused he became an abuser in his own right, or you go full on arc redemption and on top of getting his happy ending he makes ammends in some way and he reconciles with his father as well.
Instead, he's on his beach island isolating his family from everything and everyone(btw the last thing this person should be is a father, especially so soon after starting to process his traumas, contrary to what these series believe, having kids doesn't solve all your issues)
This relationship basically destroyed the friendship amongst the group of assassins.
Also, even if I was expecting it, I'm really annoyed that they made it all to be Selina's fault. Sure, she was crazy and manipulative, BUT she was also 20yo. James is more than 100yo, he did plenty of shitty things on his own before Selina was even born (which is also a thing he did himself)
TL:DR, I din't like it, don't feel like we needed it, we should have gotten Econ's book before this.

I'm too damn mad to read about them fuckin on an island. We're just supposed to like and forgive Devil/James now that their mated? Be so fuckin for real right now. I didn't even like Wyatt!
Yall painted this picture that the devil /james was the root cause of everything bad in both series. Then we find out no, it's a little fuckin girl.....?
Not Impressed.
It's time to read about all the babies 🤭

"Dancing with the Devil" received FOUR stars.
I’m going to miss this series. Love the ending!
The novel gained *stars* for these items:
* gained for: "The book caught my interest in the first five pages."
* gained for: "I thought about the book when I was forced to set it down and re-enter society."
* gained for: "There were no info dumps, poor writing, or copy edit mistakes that jerked me out of the story."
* gained for: "I was sad when the book ended. I wanted more!"
The novel failed to gain stars for this item:
NO STAR gained for: "That's it. I'm hooked on this author. I will automatically try anything she/he/they writes."

This one might be the best in the series - or - maybe it is just a wonderful wrap up to a good series. I love the slow unwrapping of the Devil's mind and did not see the magic twist at the end coming until ........

Great Book!
Such a good book! Loved reading Wyatt's & James's HEA. Totally recommend this book. Had me hooked from the beginning and couldn't put it down!

Loved reading Wyatt and James story ❤️ read this in one sitting as it had me hooked from the start.

I'm glad this novella was released because we really needed Wyatt and James's story. Especially with how bad James apparently was.
