Hit & Run: A Dark Enemies to Lovers Rom-Com
Not yet published
Expected 16 Jun 26I fight crime by night and watch cute animal videos by day. Just call me your modern day superhero. Kidding, but how fun would that be?
My name is Parker Presley, and I am a professional Bounty Hunter for a supersecret government organization called, The Blood Sport Agency, in New York City. It’s not as scary as it sounds, as long as your name doesn’t appear on my radar. Because as much as I joke, I can say with absolute confidence, I am very good at what I do.
Only the elite and wealthy of Manhattan have our number. The agency scrutinizes every request. Many get rejected. The process is painstakingly boring until the accepted bounties hit my inbox. That’s when it’s my time to play!
With the help from my team, Tac, Connor, Ophelia, and the Sparrows, we chase and find the bad guys for, at minimum, six-figure rewards. Which I had collected only days before everything flips upside down, figuratively and literally speaking. You’ll see what I mean.
The deliciousness that is my new neighbor reveals himself in the rudest way. He’s horribly infuriating and delightfully distracting, which changes nothing and everything at the same time. l quickly come to learn that the more I can make him tick, the happier I get. Which is fine until his name is the next one in my inbox.
The price is unresistable and Mr. Holden Hammer, it seems like you killed the wrong person from the wrong family, because your serial killer sins are so worthy of my attention. You better watch out, because now I’m coming for you. And once I get you, that’s when the real fun begins.
Don’t worry my new friends, don’t feel left out, for the right price I’d chase you too!
*This is a Dark, Enemies to Lovers, Opposites Attract, Found Family RomCom Duet with Lots of Banter.

This is one of the funniest books I’ve read in a while and even though I’ve read it a few times already, it still makes me laugh out loud every time and keeps just getting better and better.
I love Parker as a character, she’s relatable (who doesn’t love a good raccoon video) and chaotic in the funniest way, and I love her inner thoughts she might or might not speak out loud lol. She keeps purposefully pushing Holden’s buttons and I’m here for it.
I love how Parker keeps breaking the fourth wall and speaking straight to the reader. I think it fits both the character and story perfectly.
Holden, the pompous grumpy asshole, is growing on me and I love how disturbed he is by Parker and basically everything Parker does. Mr. Carlisle is the best comedic relief you could hope for and I live for his commentary. Him and Holden started their friendship (if you can call it that) with interesting circumstances and they’re an unlikely duo, but they work well together.
The found family aspect was great and the side characters were great addition to the storyline. I love the friendly banter between the team and Parker and how well they work together.
The pacing was fast without being rushed and the storyline kept me hooked. And that ending! I’m so ready for the next book!
Thank you Kinsley for letting me both ARC & beta read this book! 🫶🏼

This book had me laughing from beginning to end and quickly became one of my favorite reads of the year. The humor is perfectly balanced with heart, creating a story that is both wildly entertaining and surprisingly emotional.
Parker is an absolute standout protagonist—chaotic, hilarious, and incredibly relatable. Her inner monologue had me constantly smiling, and her habit of pushing Holden’s buttons never got old. The fourth-wall breaks added so much personality and made me feel even more connected to the story.
Holden is the perfect grumpy counterpart to Parker’s energy. Watching their dynamic unfold was one of the highlights of the book. Their banter is sharp, funny, and filled with chemistry. Mr. Carlisle also deserves a special mention because every scene he appeared in was pure comedic gold.
Beyond the humor, I loved the found-family element and the strong supporting cast. The relationships between the characters felt genuine, and the team dynamic added warmth and depth to the story. The pacing was excellent—fast enough to keep me hooked but never rushed—and every chapter left me wanting more.
The ending was fantastic and left me eagerly waiting for the next installment. If you enjoy laugh-out-loud humor, unforgettable characters, witty banter, and found-family vibes, this book is a must-read. Highly recommend!

You know when you’re in a reading slump after that really intense dark read? This book just might get you out of it 🫣
I tittered and I scoffed quite a few times, our FMC is a bounty hunter, her banter and banal comments just made this book a joy to read. Our MMC, a s3rial k!ller (because he can) is just a total 🤔 I want to say a lot of things about him and his attitude but it’s best if you read that yourself, though he does have conversations with ‘his friend’. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all fun and frivolity, nope, they are both m^*ders in their own unique way…
Seriously, I so enjoyed this one it flows through seamlessly, all the characters have their own personalities which totally works. The storyline gives us insights into a back plot that works alongside the fore interconnecting the two MCs, it’s like a simmering pot waiting to boil over and that ending, what a twist 👀 I simply can’t wait for the next one.

Thank you Kinsley Kincaid and Grey's Promo for the ARC
Hit & Run is one of the most unhinged, wth is going on, stories I've read and I enjoyed every second of it. Kinsley Kincaid really immerses you with such descriptive and chaotic thoughts the MCs have. Parker is a bounty hunter going after Holden, a serial killer. This dude is a PSYCHOPATH, forget morally grey, Holden is one big WTF is wrong with you?! 😂 Parker is one hot mess, her inner thoughts, sometimes not so inner thoughts, are hilarious and hella chaotic. Throughout most of the book I was wondering how there could possibly be romance between these two.. trust the process. It is first of a duology and ends in a cliffhanger, I need book two now!

Think dark, twisted humour with a mix of fourth wall breaks and a lot of sexual tension. That is Parker and Holden.
This book perfectly sums up the “dark rom-com” genre. I was absolutely laughing at some of the scenes in this book, but equally as grossed/creeped out in others. (I read the needle scene with one eye open because I was getting full body shivers.) I loved how effortlessly kinsley made the dark aspects balance with the humour. 100% my type of book. Be prepared for a cliffhanger!
A massive MASSIVE thank you to Kinsley for the ARC as an early birthday present. I am INSANELY grateful for this copy to cherish 🩷🩷🩷
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Parker is amazing, i absolutely love her,her inner monologue and generally everything about her-she is a bounty hunter with adhd and a love of possum’s jumping on trampolines (girl after my own heart)
She has a similar feral inner dialogue to myself-i also find myself hilarious 🤣
Holden is an actual psychopath with ocd, hes murderous and completely mental but i kind of love him.
This story had me kicking my feet with tears rolling down my cheeks laughing-it is dark don’t get me wrong but it’s also fantastic. The twist? I hope you are ready!
If i had to describe this book i would say unhinged and hilarious and i could not put it down. Easiest 5 star rating ever.

Oh my where do I even start with how this book made me feel? It made me laugh my ass off. It brought me a bestie Mr Carlisle. It added Holden to my roster of men I collect of Kinsley’s. He can get it. This book truly is such a fun time and will have you laughing so hard. Kinsley has a way at writing characters that stick with you for life and these def will! It’s not even just the main ones either. It’s the side characters also who stick with you. I had the best time reading it multiple times 🤭 love you queen!

This book definitely is exactly what you think of when you hear "Dark rom com." Parker enjoys annoying Holden and I couldn't stop laughing at it. Parker is so relatable and funny with her cute animal videos. I love that fourth wall break from Parker speaking directly to the reader. I feel like it fits her character perfectly. The both of them are definitely unhinged, but in the best way! The plot twist... definitely did not see that coming! It does end on a cliffhanger and I cannot wait to read the second book and find out what happens. Thank you for the chance to arc read it!

Loveeeee the banter, the surprises, the darkness, the psychotic-ness. Its all a trip. I literally didnt even see the twist coming at 96% through. I finished this in one day and it was so freaking good.

This book sums up to a dark rom-com. It is a fast paced plot that will have you laughing and then on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait for the next book as this ends in a cliffhanger.

Well, definitely was not expecting that twist at the end! Parker is a delightful little psycho and had me cackling. Uptight Holden just doesn’t know how to handle her and it’s making him loose his self contained little life. I am totally here for the chaos gremlin that is Parker Presley.
