Two Hitmen

Rate this book
We are two bad, bad men
We’re professionals. Whatever the job is, if the money’s right, we get it done - the dirtier the better.

This hit was supposed to be simple. A man wanted his business partner offed. It’s not nice, but it’s what we do, and the price was sure right. Except the client turned out to be a man who liked to mess things up. When you’re dealing with men like us, that’s a bad idea.

We didn’t know that our business would turn out to be with an abusive, cheating scumbag, or that he would leave an innocent, beautiful, young widow with curves to tempt our watering mouths and eyes to harden us both right up.

She’s pure and nearly untouched, but one look from her unlocks a force deep inside both of us, a powerful and raging need. We both want to claim her and make her ours until she screams in pleasure - and we share everything else.

I’m a very nice girl
Call me old fashioned, but I like things traditional. That’s why I saved myself for marriage, why I’m a housewife… and why the two strangers in my living room, spreading and lounging all over my furniture like sex in suits, they just cannot be here.

Liam and Declan turned my life upside down. Everything that I thought I had was gone - but all I can think about is them.

What they look like under the suits. What kind of weaponry they’re packing. Whether they would both…

NO! I’m a nice girl, and nice girls absolutely don’t do that. I didn’t even do it with one man except for the one whose ring went on my finger. Never ever two men.

But the way their eyes make filthy promises, the way they whisper in my ear makes my knees shake, and I think about it. I think about both of them. At once… it’s almost too much.

Almost.

This story ends with a cliffy!!!!!

This story has a good thing going in the beginning - you've got Liam and Declan, two very snarky and chatty hitmen. Very much like Heckel and Jeckel.



They'd have this creepy chat with the people they're going to kill and they also have this seemingly friendly chat with their "clients", but they also seem to be killing off both parties.

And then one day one of their clients did something really stupid (learn: do not short-change hired killers if you plan to use their services) and so they took off with the very beautiful and willing wife. Cue menage adventures.

BUT.....this is the part where it irked me. The sexytimes are hot enough but there's just so much bla-bla-bla between the two guys......and the ending....WTF happened? And then i have to subscribe to a group to get the super secret epilogue?

No...just no.....give me my smut and don't just chop off the ending!



So.....even when it started out fine, i am really not amused with this tactic.

ARC for honest review.

I liked what i read, however i feel a lot more could have been done with the story. That said, it was good, enjoyable, and good characters. Lots, i mean LOTS of heat too which is always good. It did have me turning the pages.
Would recommend

This was supposed to be a quick sexy read before bed time and let's just say I expected more. The idea for the story - brilliant! The ending - very disappointing. This book is what I would call 'a wasted potential'.

Easily one of the worst books I've ever tried to read. I forced myself to continue reading and I could still only make it to 7%..

Declan and Liam are bad boys for rent but don’t double cross them...
They will make you pay...

Courtenay thought she was an lucky woman, has everything that she needs...
But what you see is not always the truth...

Their worlds collide when Courtnenay’s husband has an job for the bad boys...

The story is an bit brutal, a lot of violence and hot MMF scenes.

You need to like these kind of books, or else you should not start reading this.
For me it was an okay read before going to bed 😬📖

Holy hot in here! Was a quick read for me, but so worth it. This is actually the first book I've read by this author and I'm glad I did. I couldn't put it down and can't wait to read more from her. Declan and Liam are so sexy, they bring the steam that's for sure. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

M/F/M done well, though the story was lacking. I just can't believe a woman (as abused as she was) would be totally fine with her husband's murder then just up and screwing two guys the same day. Some head-hopping issues that could've been resolved with easy edits so you know who's brain you're in since there are three MCs.

Sinful!

This was, in my opinion, the oddest mashup of books ever, but wow. I don't know what else to say, other than someone really needs to catch the little slipups before it is put out for others to read.

fist, let me say the writing is excellent. But only 8% of it was the book. The rest were snippets of other books. & the ending that wasn't an ending? I'm not sure what it was.

If you like dark reads , then you will like this book. These two men kill people for a living and finding a woman for them to share wasn't in their plans. This isn't a fast paced book and you have to pay attention to the story line but after I figured out the scene I really enjoyed it. If your looking for sweet romantic fiction then this isn't for you, but if your looking for down and dirty, then read this book

Quick read and mostly all sex. I was reading along and all of a sudden it was over. Chapter 22 (at 22%) was part of the epilogue that the author will send you if you sign up for her mailing list; which I did. I read the epilogue and then went back to the original and kept reading. For ONE chapter and then you are invited to purchase book 2. The remainder of the book (the last 74%) are
more short stories apparently, I gave up.

How disappointing! The actual story is only 8% of the kindle edition. If you want any more you have to sign up to something or other. No thanks, it wasn't that good that I really want to know. Totally unbelievable.

Good Story about two professional hit men and the woman they fell for. The heat between them was intense and the plot was insanely crazy but somehow believable and good. There are twists and turns that kept me reading to find out what happens between them. Liam and Declan are sex personified and “bad boys “ while Courtenay is sweet and innocent. They somehow join together and make a terrific team and the boys seduce Court, and make this innocent miss their willing victim. The story takes some crazy turns and the ending of the story ends wildly but I liked it. I cant wait to see what happens next.

My rating: 4.0 stars ****

Two Hitmen by Alice May Ball is a quick read with lots of suspense,drama and a couple of hot and sexy hitmen. Courtenay really had no idea that two men would totally change her life completely .But that is what Liam and Declan totally did,when their came into her life and stirred everything up . Liam and Declan's life's have always been crime ,but now it's turned into to passion for the woman that their were hired to kill. Now their both have an attraction to the beautiful woman who's husband hired them to kill, but the tables turned when he tried not to pay them what he owned them ,and they killed him instant. So what's going to happen with these three next? Well Courtenay decides to go with them and the crazy relationship their develop between the sexy hitmen and her is far from nothing really short of super hot like lava from a volcano. This story made me feel like a teenage doing something I wasn't purposed to do ,I waiting for something to yell put that book down.But I was glad they didn't. But just as the excitement was building in the story and getting better their just leaving their next job and are just on the road again ,when their pulled over by the police ,and poor Courtenay is arrested and put in jail. But well she there some inmate told her to just laid low ,someone well get her out. And Boom the story ended leaving me wondering how or who will help her get out .So please Ms.Ball tell me there will be a book 2 to solve my discomfort of not known what is happened to our hot and sexy hitmen and the beautiful and happy Courtenay. I really could have told you more about this story ,but that would spoil it for you I highly recommend that you read this touching story, you won't be disappointed.

Courtenay can't believe her life has gone so pear shaped. She was coerced into marrying the local prominent family's son, a chance for her family to go up in the world. But fast forward a few years and her outward facade of a happy, privileged life is hiding the physical and emotional abuse being inflicted on her. When two suited, mob like men turn up at her home looking for her hubby see sees a chance to escape him forever.

Liam and Declan are on a job. They didn't think they would meet represses but totally hot Courtenay. They are knocked for a loop when she actively helps them track down her minor drug dealing hubby. But when they take care of her problem and theirs in one fell swoop, she reacts to the visceral pull between them and takes off with them!

This was a really unusual read for me as I don't usually read Mafia/gangster books but I really enjoyed the story. I was rooting for the Liam and Declan, who are the king of the one liners and witty dialogues! Courtenay takes to life on the run a little too easy given her past but as long as you switch off your sensible gene you will love floating away with these hot to trot trio!

This was an interesting read. I liked the relationship between the two hitmen. They had me laughing so hard I was getting funny looks from the people at the coffee shop. But then the end came, and I was like "umm, is that it?" I’m really hoping that this was a cliffhanger and there is a part two?, because if not then the ending I wasn't a favorite of mine. No worries, the rest of the book was great! It had your hot and steamy sexy parts and had some action too, which I am a total fan of. Most of the book was written well, I’d say a quick read. The two Hitmen were interesting and there interaction quite entertaining. The characters were a bit comical it that “we are hired hitmen so don’t try to screw us over” way, which is perfect in this kind of story. The only complaint I have for this book is the ending, otherwise this is my kind story.

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was a good read from Alice May Ball. When Courtenay Cullen meets with the ladies at the local café she doesn't realize just what they day is going to bring. All the ladies seem to be envious of her and who she married, but if they only knew they wouldn't feel that way. When Liam and Declan show up in town they are there to meet with her husband about a business deal, mainly he needs someone taken care of and they are there to do that. But someone should have really told him you don't shortchange the hitmen you hire, it probably won't turn out well for you. What happens next has Courtenay with the men and on the road, enjoying both men because they had always been looking for that one they could share for more than a fleeting moment. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is my first book to read by Alice May Ball. Extraordinary book, and one that you will love. A lot of women have the fantasy of two handsome, and sexy men after them, and some even want the two men at the same time. I mean who wouldn’t want two gorgeous men at one time? I know I would love to have been in Courtenay’s place. Liam and Declan make your mouth water with their handsome features and almost arrogant behavior. But the thing that is best about these two hitmen is that they are not only good at their job, but they share EVERYTHING! Courtenay is the abused wife who is old fashioned and believes that things should be traditional. Well that is until she meets Liam and Declan. This is a book you do not want to miss. I promise you will not be disappointed except for maybe the ending.

No Spoilers. ARC free boo given in exchange for an honest review.

Declan and Liam are two hot, sexy hitmen with a lot of work to do. They work well off of each other and the banter between them when dealing with business is very entertaining! They eventually run into Courtenay when doing business with her husband, who stiffs them, something they do not stand for. After they do the dirty work their attention turns to Courtenay. From here the story takes off with their sexy time together while still trying to do business. The ending was more abrupt than I expected. If this is a book 1 then I was unaware of that. If there is a book 2 then I eagerly await the story's completion! It ends with many questions left unanswered. Still a good read, especially if you are open to hot threesome scenes!

Received free ARC for honest review

I received a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. Honestly...I was slightly disappointed. I was really into the story. Hot and steamy could not even begin to describe it. However...as I got to the end, I found that it left me hanging. The story was completely unfinished. I waited for the book to go live on Amazon and downloaded it to see if maybe I had missed something. The copy I downloaded from Amazon has a link to sign up for an extended epilogue. I was happy to hear that and immediately signed up. Unfortunately, I still have yet to receive the bonus epilogue, so the story is still unfinished for me. I would gladly up my rating otherwise.
