Hitman #2.5

Last Hit: Reloaded

Rate this book
There was a time when Nick loved the fear he instilled in his enemies. His tattoos alone promised danger, but it was the look in his eyes that delivered on it. A contract killer since he was just a boy, Nick has now forged a new life—and a new identity—with the woman who followed him, captured him, and changed him.
He terrified Daisy. Once. But she couldn’t resist, and she ignored every warning. It paid off. Now she’s part of a new beginning, a fresh start in America helping him to leave behind a reckless and violent past as a professional killer. But the past is never easy to outrun, especially when so much of it thrives on revenge.
A new threat has emerged from the shadows, and now Nick and Daisy have no choice but to rely on Nick’s killer skills to protect them from everything they’ve tried so hard to escape.

My sweet Nick... I can never get enough of him.

This was another wonderful installment in Hitman series. The story was very sweet, and yet so damn hot at the same time. Nick is such a sweetheart and he’s still socially clueless (so cute!). Seeing how much he loves Daisy made my heart melt all over again, and oh, don’t forget about his slight accent! **Sigh**

By the way, reading this short story made me crave cookies. Chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, oh, whatever, I need them now! Bye!

So I think I made no secret of the fact in my Review of Last Hit I was like some creepy love child that had been spawned through the terrifying unholy union between a Belieber fan and a One Direction fan, stolen at birth and taken to a secret lab and injected with an extra special batch of crazy fangirlness and then let loose on the world to scream hysterically at those (via a youtube video recorded in my Dad's shed) who did not love Nick as they SHOULD!



So, when I got offered the chance to R2R an ARC of this, you can imagine my reaction!





I loved and adored Nick in book 1. And I loved and adored him more in this book. But surprising myself, I loved and adored Daisy! (I liked her in book 1, do not get me wrong, but I was pretty much all about Nick)

How these two were trying to fit into a normal life, and be normal, while having no clue how to do this, just had my heart melting for them both!

I think for most of the book I was like this:





And Nick and his party idea so they could make friends!



Never mind them Nick, I will be your friend, pick me! PICK ME!!!!!





Nick just loves so completely, he lives and breathes for his Daisy, and Daisy just accepts him as who he was and is, with no recriminations at all.

As as is said about them in book 2 in this series. "Daisy and Nick were perfect for each other. He was a crazy psychopath and she didn't know any better that he wasn't normal"

So, an excellent little view into how Nick and Daisy are getting on and I loved it. I hope we get more tbh. LOVED IT

4 Oh So Dramatic Stars
* * * * Spoiler Free- A 2015 Review
This was a present for all those who have read the Hitman and fell for Daisy and Nick. It is important to have read the first book in order to appreciate this one.

These two come from such different backgrounds and lives... yet share a uniqueness of not knowing how to fit in...They both were lost; together they work but the challenge is that enough...

Daisy wishes to have a girlfriend...someone to share experiences with... to gossip. She has very little social skills due to the isolation her father inflicted so trying to socialize is a constant source of frustration.

Nick could care less about making friends; he has his Daisy and she is all he needs.
He is in a country so different than his...he is attempting to reinvent himself. It is hard because of his natural instincts when things become troublesome is easy... just kill the person and dispose of them. But he cannot do that now; now he has Daisey and both are trying to be "normal".

They are on campus going to classes and we have the unique experience of being in their heads... Daisy reaches out to a classmate. Nick has to deal with attention from someone who is too interested...All of these things happen along with the incredible connection between Daisy and Nick... being together... sharing their love for each other.

This is not a full-length book but there is so much in it. We experience growth, understanding, some mysterious circumstances, and results.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I loved the relationship between them and understood them. There is more to the series to come... and I will keep my sights on when.

"I need no one but my Nick."

That basically sums up how I feel! All I need is Nick, Nick and more Nick. What's that Jen and Jessica? You wrote a novella about Nick and Daisy? Sure, yeah, that's cool...ALRIGHT HANDS IN THE AIR! GIVE ME THE BOOK AND NO ONE GETS HURT, I DON'T WANT TO BUT I WILL GO CRAZY EYE'S ON YOU!!! I NEED NICK!


Deep breaths...

Ok so I might have taken that too far, sorry about that ladies. I loved getting to spend more time with Nick and Daisy, and I especially liked that the book really explored how they are both adjusting to their new lives. We get both POV's which is absolutely delightful because being in Nick's head is something I find very enjoyable. The way his character is written is very unique and it isn't something that you can find in many books. And I loved how much Daisy loves Nick, you can literally feel her devotion to him, to the point where she actually considers doing something completely foreign to her nature to protect him. I definitely am hoping for more Nick and Daisy, I'm crossing my fingers that we get to see their wedding, whenever that happens down the line. Highly recommend this series to everyone who will listen!

4 - The small details are often the most important. Stars!

Last Hit: Reloaded takes us back to Daisy and Nick, and gives us a continuation of their story (you definitely need to read Last Hit, to appreciate this novella fully). Trying to live a normal everyday life doesn’t come without its struggles for both of them, Daisy having lead and isolated existence, and Nick having lived an insular solitary life prior, both of them struggle to integrate comfortably into college life, and the normal routines of day-to-day living in general.

People who are afraid have fearful things at home.

It was really enjoyable to catch up with them both, and although this is a novella Jen and Jessica have managed to pack a generous amount of storyline into it. As you would expect the life they are trying to live together is a massive adjustment for them both, and I found it both heart-breaking and heart-warming at times. Reading of the lengths Nick is prepared to go to, to make Daisy happy as well as keep her safe without stifling her, and equally the measures Daisy was prepared to take to keep Nick from going back to his old ways in order to protect her the way he is naturally inclined to do.



The sexy times are hot, the suspense interesting and route the story takes is not as you initially expect. The door is definitely left open for this couple, as well as the secondary characters, and I really hope that we have an opportunity to see more of them all in future books.

Last Kiss is due in May, Vasily and Naomi’s story is one I have been waiting impatiently for since Last Breath.

I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!


My thanks as always to the marvelous Jen Frederick for providing me with an ARC; it was an absolute pleasure to provide the above honest review in exchange.

There are authors that you automatically one-click and Jen Frederick happens to be one of those authors for me. I absolutely love and adore Jen Frederick. And in her newest release with Jessica Clare, Last Hit:Reloaded was another great addition to the Hitman Series. To fully enjoy this novella, it is best advised that you read Last Hit so you can fully understand the dynamic of the relationship of Daisy and Nick.

#lastHit

The Last Hit: Reloaded follows up on the lives of Daisy and Nick as they try to immerse themselves to a normal social setting. This novella really chronicles how they try to adjust to daily life,school and making new friends. Daisy and Nick for so long have been so isolated and socially inept so they try to figure out how to make friends especially for Daisy. If you know anything about Daisy, she longs to make a friend outside of her circle of Nick and her dad.

This novella packed so much into this short read that you can’t help but be reminded as to why I love Daisy and Nick. Together, these two really exemplifies what it means to really love. The love they have for each other is so passionate, raw, and vulnerable that you can really feel how far they would go to protect their love. So if you are a big fan of The Hitman Series, Last Hit:Reloaded was an enjoyable read especially for those diehard Daisy and Nick fans. This novella was sexy, steamy and packed a punch. Another amazing installment from Jessica Clare and Jen Frederick.

Is always good to catch up the characters that you used to love.

Nikolai is still awkward in his own peculiar way. As what Daisy said, he is always so dramatic in his words. He worshiped the ground she walks on and there is nothing he won't do to keep her safe.

They both struggle to blend into the society. Nick couldn't care less about what people think of him. But Daisy wants to have friends and be accepted. What's make me hard to grasp is the fact that Nick gave up his prior life to be an art student. Hmm... Is hard to believe this volatile guy with killer instinct is gonna feel content for such lifestyle.

We have a little plot with Daisy's classmate, Christine. The girl had a situation that Daisy adamant to help despite warning from Nick to stay away and meanwhile there is a mystery shooter in the campus. With the police sniffing around, will Nick and Daisy able to find out the truth before Nick's true identity is expose?

Fans of Last Hit will enjoyed getting glimpses into Nick and Daisy's life after they settle into their domestic bliss.

Dentro de poco planeo leer Last Hope y mi caracter obsesivo compulsivo me exige que lea las novelas en orden, por esa razon elegi leer este relato corto.

Last Hit : Reloaded fue lo que esperaba, una novella grata de leer y con una pizca de originalidad que solo podia haber mejorado si hubiese tenido un par de escenas de Reagan y Daniel, no obstante me conformo con la pequeña ( pequeñisima ) aparicion de Daniel.

Resumiendo, una lectura breve y directa, ideal para los seguidores de esta saga.

2.5 Estrellas!

I really enjoyed this novella and here we get to catch up with one of my all-time favourite book couples Daisy and Nikolai. They are now living their new life as two college students. Nikolai, as usual, was totally on point with all of his literal interpretations he does make me smile he’s just so adorably clueless and it’s obvious just how much he adores Daisy so much so it made my heart glow.

There’s lots of passion and heart here some mild intrigue as Daisy try’s to help out a friend in the process managing to place herself in direct danger. There’s also a dirty cop sniffing around but my favourite thing about this novella was just getting to again spend time with Daisy and Nikolai they are absolutely adorable together. This was a decent length and such a pleasure to read.

My review:

I absolutely ADORE this series! I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this series, but I have to say Nik and Daisy are my favorite so far! Nik is so damn romantic. Just like in Last Hit, Nik absolutely adores his Daisy. Nothing he does isn't centered around her and I just love it so much that I can't EVEN deal!!! *squeals* I was a swooning fool all throughout this novella.

So what is it all about? Well if you read Last Hit, you know that Nik bought an apartment complex to keep him and Daisy safe, but also to house her hermit/crazy father. This little novella gives us a glimpse into how Nik and Daisy are assimilating into society after everything they went through in the last book. Nik is constantly on guard when it comes to Daisy's safety, but also wants to make her happy so he tries his hardest not to stifle her. There are many hot sex scenes in this little novella. I can't even tell you what my favorite part was because I just love Nik and any part with him in it was my favorite part. There are also so many wonderful quotes, I couldn't even post them here because it would spoil the whole novella!!!!

If you adored Last Hit like I did, then this Novella is a MUST READ PEOPLE! LOL Now, I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this series SO MUCH!!! May of 2015 seems so damn far away! LOL

This was another novella, although much longer in length then, “Last Gift.” Nicolai, continued to make me all ‘melty’ in this one, and I’ve actually caught myself reading in what I imagine to be the sound of his accented voice! *Le sigh!* His kindness toward Daisy is just so innocently sweet, but at the same time fiercely protective! He wants to protect her with all that he is, but respects that he can’t control her. Since her father held her hostage for so many years, she grew to resent restraint. Nicolai, tries not to stifle her actions, and choices knowing eventually she’d probably learn to resent him.

“The depths of my obsession are laid bare for her. If I were to lose her, I would be nothing. I would burn myself to ashes so that the winds could carry me to the four corners and where each molecule would search endlessly for her.” ~Nicolai

I was sorta shocked with some of sweet hearted Daisy’s rogue thoughts about her pal Christine, but not so surprised that she’d do anything to protect her Nicolai! In the end, they figured out that all they really need is each other.

Onto “Last Kiss,” Vasily, and Naomi’s story.

I enjoyed this book much more than the previous book about Nick and Daisy.

In Last Hit: Reloaded, the relationship is already established between Daisy and Nick, so the action happened quicker, keeping the book moving and keeping me hooked.

I think the life they’re building together is an interesting one, and wouldn’t mind seeing more about it.

I was especially interested in the McFadden development for Nick. I don’t really trust McFadden but I could easily see a series about Nick working with McFadden happening. I think it would be interesting.

I can’t say I enjoyed the Christine storyline. I felt bad for Daisy, that she was having trouble making friends, but I never really liked Christine. I felt bad for her situation, but she did nothing but use Daisy and Daisy accepted that because Christine was her “friend”. I’ll admit that I’m slightly curious about what happened to Christine at the end, but mostly for closure and verification that she is indeed out of Daisy’s life.

Overall, this was a good story, with decent action and many more steamy scenes than the first book.

4.5 Star review by Debra

I was so excited to read this book because I love this series. When I read Last Hit I just soaked it up, that's how much I loved it. When I was asked to review this book by the authors I just couldn't say no! Especially since I'd be getting more of Nikolai.

Nikolai is now a "retired" hit man and he and Daisy are both trying to navigate their way through everyday life. They realize that they aren't really doing very well when after several attempts at befriending classmates, they host a party at a local club and they are outcasted. Nikolai's instinct is to just take care of anyone that upsets him or dares to upset Daisy, but he knows that in doing that he would put them at jeopardy.

Daisy knows that they are both socially awkward and this upsets her greatly. She befriends a girl that on the surface seems like she's using her. This is where the story really starts to take off. Christine has a few secrets and Nikolai smells trouble. These secrets are uncovered and Nikolai has to make split second decisions that will affect Daisy.

This book was so good. I love this series and especially these characters. They have such chemistry and I just soaked up this book within a few days. These ladies really know how to pull you into a story and keep you there until the very end. Excellent job. Totally worth picking up!

I have been in love with Nick & Daisy's story since the first book and the moment I found out there were ARCs going out I was flipping out. It was the first time I was so desperate I actually messaged the author asking for an ARC and was so thankful I was actually sent a copy.

This was a sweet novella about how Daisy and Nick have been attempting to assimilate into society. As we know both of them have had very unusual upbringings so they are both like a fish out of water. The only person they feel completely comfortable and themselves with is each other. I am in love with Nick. I would be tempted to hire a hitman to take Daisy out just so I could have Nick all to myself! I can always count on these authors to give me a story about a completely obsessed hero who absolutely lives for the heroine. It was exactly what I needed after falling into a major book rut.

Now all I want to know is if Daisy's friend Christine will be getting her own book or not. I'm still not sure how I feel about her since I'm still annoyed with how she was using my poor Daisy. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if we get a story from her POV and find out what was really going on in her life. I must say I am extremely excited about a potential Oliver book...meow!

A novella about life after the HEA for Daisy and Nick.

The Good, The Bad and Everything In Between

-A little dorky and very dangerous: If you read the earlier Hitman book, this picks up shortly after they’ve settled into their lives together, Nick taking art classes and Daisy trying to catch up with her classes after their adventure in Russia. Loved them together, there is certainly a fair amount of nookie being had by Nick and Daisy. Nick can’t fight his hitman ways and he’s super protective of Daisy, but that’s what I love about him. He tries really hard to balance his need to protect and her need for independence. Daisy is also trying to grow and figure out her way with her loving a trained killer and interacting with normal folks. They’re both socially awkward in their own ways, and stumble more often than not navigating life, but I love how that makes them a bit more human. I really do like them together.

-Lots of sex: Nick’s worshipping of Daisy’s body works for me. Alot.

-Quick read that could standalone: It's about 130 pages or so, so it's a fairly quick read and there is enough information given that if you haven't read the earlier books, you could follow along.

-Well, it's lots of sex: it’s a novella, so I would have liked more of a focus on the story involving Daisy and her friend Christine, or more about Nick’s burgeoning friendship with the detective. But this is a minor quibble, since...well, it is hot sex and lots of it.

The Bottom Line
If you loved the series, (and Nick/Daisy), or like hitmen with a heart of gold (wrapped in barbed wire), I would definitely recommend it.

Five Amazing Stars

This book is a continuation of the first book, "Last Hit: Hitman,#1", which is Nick and Daisy's story.
I loved the first book and I loved this story about how Nick and Daisy are trying to integrate themselves into what they consider, "Normal Society". They are both taking college courses and Daisy, in her desire to fit in befriends a classmate. Events take an interesting turn as Daisy's attempt at friendship develops. Of course Nick is always in the background watching out for Daisy and protecting her even if she doesn't want it.
The love between Nick and Daisy is perfect. There is nothing they won't do for each other. They have a sweet connection that enables them to anticipate each others needs.
I enjoyed the whole book. It was well written and easy to follow. If you read the first book and enjoyed it, you will definitely enjoy this one.
I can hardly wait until "Last Kiss" comes out in 2015.

A big Thank you to Jen Frederick for giving me the opportunity to review this book. It is definitely a hit!!!

Where do I start.  I read the first book in this series, which is about the same couple as this short story.  I already had issues with their relationship back in that book.  And then we get this.  This book suffered from an insecure heroine, who is TSTL, and way too much sex!  There I said it.  There is something as too much sex when it's apparently overtaking the story.  And this story could've had potential, I just think the heroine hasn't shown a whole lot of growth from where she came from in book 1.

Daisy was all about wanting friends this time.  She was so focused on that that she made such silly mistakes and put her life in jeopardy.  Wouldn't listen to anyone and thought she knew better.  She got on my nerves.  She has Nick who is determined to give her everything she wants, and maybe that's gotten her spoiled?

I really wish the side story about the deaths Nick was helping solve so they wouldn't be pinned on him should've been developed more.  That would've made this story exciting!  Nevertheless, I hope we get to see more from the cop that's entered their lives.

At this point, I'm not quite sure how I feel about the series.  I love the premise of the hired assassins finding a happily ever after and redeeming themselves.  I'm just not sure this is the right series for me.

Amazing. Loved it. No regrets buying this one. I wish the rest of the series was just Daisy and Nick. I love Nick's love for Daisy. The sex scenes were more than just sex. You felt their love for each other. I love that Nick never looks at another woman. He only has eyes for Daisy.

Rosalie's review posted on Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

Nick and Daisy have lived through a rough time, Nick even scaring Daisy, almost away. But winning her back has proven that them together, can equal a life of happiness. However, with Nick’s previous life as a hit man, they just can’t seem to outrun his past.

Last Hit Reloaded is a novella about these two that show them trying to live a normal live, in college, running an apartment complex (with no one in it due to fears of the unknown), and just trying to adjust to being together and happy. However, when threats reemerge, Nick knows it is in his duty to protect his love, at any cost.

The two are super hot together, and the scenes written completely depict this. The suspense had me biting me nails. This novella was a perfect quick glimpse into their lives after Last Hit, with their HEA going farther (I love when books do that!).

Re reading the series..

Love the original and the Christmas sequel. This one was good but it seemed to have too much sex (I can't believe I am saying this either!) and their awkwardness with day to day life was more uncomfortable than endearing. Just not as great as the earlier ones. However, I still love catching up with Daisy and Nick! This book definitely makes me want more. I want to see them have a family!!! I think Nick would make the best father, but seeing how him through pregnancy and babyhood would be hilarious!

Totally safe.

My sexy, effing hitman is back and I missed him, "da, this is true. My c*** is always hungry for you." He's still protective as ever, and even more horny if that's possible when his Daisy is around, "promise me you will not wear such things out in public with other men, or I might destroy them for looking at your beauty." I mention more horny right? "I feel a stirring in my groin. She gives me a knowing glance. "Again Nick?" It was great catching up with Daisy and Nick to see how they were doing.

What drew me into this series was the bad/good guy premisses book one (and all that follow) had. There is something about a bad guy who will kill when needed especially to protect the woman he loves and then turn around and whisper sweat nothings in her ear after he has followed he to make sure she is safe. What has kept me coming back time and again with each book is the amazing writing pair of Jessica Clare and Jen Frederick the two woman J J team know not only how to write sweet and hard and sometimes tragic all while keeping you on the edge of your seat, and then when you finish the book makes you want to go and find all the information you can on all the books to come.

This book starts off after book two ends. Nikolai and Daisy as well as her father all Iive in the apartment building while Daisy and Nick try to learn how to live a normal life. One of the normal things Daisy wants most is friends but with all the drama surrounding them Daisy has found it hard to even get a smile in passing. Because this is important to Daisy it's important to Nick, and just when Daisy thinks she has found a friend Daisy and Nikolai learn that not everything is as it seams with Daisy's new found friend.

Willing to do anything to keep Daisy happy and safe Nick trys to solve the mystery that is Daisy's new friend. But nothing can be that simple in their lives, while out keeping his skills up someone makes it known that he is keeping an eye on Nick and a danger is brought to their town that Nikolai fears could take away the only thing that matters to him, Daisy.

The second I heard about this book I knew I wanted to read it I LOVED Nikolai in book one he is the epitome of the bad/good guy who really is only even good for his heroine, I love his possessive and protective nature as well as his undying love for Daisy and I even love his speech (which is just another example of these two authors attention to detail and making these characters real). In this book Nick is everything I loved in book one and more, and Daisy is still the same loving heroine who can love Nick like no one else.

This book is a great glimpse into Their lives after the story ends, it is a great continuation into their lives and it was just great to catch up with them again. What starts out as a nice little glimpse into Nick and Daisy's life turns into a great story that even though it is a novella hooked me and kept me till the end. The passion we saw in their first book is still burring bright and we get to see a great amount of it here. The side characters introduced in this book just adds to this story and left me wanting one of the characters to get his own book soon(hint hint, please).

I couldn't have been happier with this book it was everything I had hoped for with some extra sprinkled in. Yes the HEA is alive and kicking but it was great to see what happens in their lives after the HEA and get to see them as they and her father continue to adjust. This is one of those series that is a no brainer if they write it I will get it and read it, and after I will impatiently wait for the next masterpiece and the next couple to knock me off me feet.

**Thank you Jen Frederick for so kindly giving me an ARC to read and review!!!

4 reloaded stars!

You know what this is? This is what I love about reading. When you open a book because you're curious to see how these two characters have developed and you kinda miss them and then all of a sudden the book comes to life and it sucks you into the story and you read slower than possible cause you don't want it to end. Ever.

That's the kind of book this is!



We met Nick and Daise in Last Hit, now to be honest that book wasn't a major hit for me, it had some pretty good moments but it felt kind of over the top at times. So when I saw this I thought oh why not, I sort of miss Nick's Russian accent; I'm so glad I did! Nick is... Nick. That's the only way to describe him, he's dramatic but not in a humorous over the top way, it's like he's always translating himself and he come off as this Russian royal that actually means every word, the hitman that will literally kill someone for little to no reason and the sweet guy that wants to show his love for Daise, he's genuine and unique.

“Who has made you unhappy?” I ask immediately. Looking around I see only average students. Have any of them insulted her? I will demand they apologize.



Daisy is still the naive girl that is trying to break out of her shell and fit into this world she's never really been a part of, the first book kind of made it more possible for her to be normal since she had a new friend and all but now with Nick who is equally unable to act normal and escape from his Bratva ways and the hitman life style, the two stick out like a sore thumb and the harder they try to fit the more messed up it gets, it was funny and adorable seeing they struggle with normalcy in public but act so domestic and normal in private.

And speaking of domestic and private; Nick is one hell of a dirty talker but again he's not doing it on purpose, he actually means every word and his vocabulary is honest and raw, for him, words are simply words that describe an action or a feeling, he doesn't try to beautify it, it just it.

“You've a dirty mouth,” she says. The smile dancing around the corners of her mouth is Mona Lisa mysterious.
I draw a hand across my lips. “My words you mean?”


Oh yes Nick, your words!

Loved it so much! I would've totally given it 5 stars but the length made me hold back I wish it wasn't a novella because I wanted MORE NICK!!!!

One of my favorite couples..love these two: Nick and Daisy.
In the book Daisy decides its time to make some friends, Nick
does his best to help her while both are attending classes at the near by
college. The party was a disaster. Daisy's new friend didn't show up.
they over dressed for college students attire.
Nick meets a detective at the firing range and soon finds out he's following him.
This is a nice sweet book with a good plot and story line
enjoy his dirty talkin' and love makin'..
Hope these two will have more books and adventures..
keep them coming..no pun intended! well maybe so..lol

“The depths of my obsession are laid bare for her. If I were to lose her, I would be nothing. I would burn myself to ashes so that the winds could carry me to the four corners and where each molecule would search endlessly for her.”

Ugh I love this man. He is so sweet and in love with Daisy. This was a nice novella, can't wait till the next Hitman book!!

5 stars!!!


Ahhhhhh.... so satisfying, getting to revisit Nick and Daisy! I seriously love reading about them. Nick has the BEST accent lol. The authors do such a phenomenal job with him and I truly hear his Ukrainian accent when I’m reading these books. And daisy! I adore her too. And I just love them both together so so much.

So here, they are both enrolled in college and basically trying to blend in, make friends and be normal. Hilarious, I know. Cause an ex-hitman and is uber-sheltered fiancé trying to blend into society is not gonna go smooth lol.
The party they threw was hilarious lol

Of course, there is a ton of sexy time too in this book. Ho-ly hell... and I loved it. Obvi.

There is also goings on at the campus and around town and it’s really tough for Nick not to resort to his guns as his answers for everything. But he tries so hard cause all he does, he does for Daisy. And he is so bloody poetic and romantic!

So yeah, I’m in love with him. What of it. I hope we get more novellas in the future. I also would KILL for a novella or book with him AND Daniel! That would make my life lol
