Killers is a spinoff from Ms Gaines beloved Blakemore series and if you loved the Blakemore's you're going to love getting to know their extended family better. The first book in this new series is centered around the coming of age of the eldest Delgado offspring, Eduardo Delgado Yunior. If you thought Eduardo Senior was something, wait until you get to know Yunior. As with all of Olivia Gaines's books, this was full of lovable but sometimes off the wall characters that seem to find trouble when they least expect it. The story was entertainingly funny with lots of drama and bits of gun slinging and star throwing which didn't bode well for anyone who ended up on Yunior and his band of misfits posse's bad side. Yunior who is just coming into his own and is also getting used to the idea of having to marrying someone who is not of his own choosing, so there is bound to be a lot more drama, action, and loads of fun coming his way in the near future and can't wait to go along for the ride. Plus hopefully as it was in book 1, we'll get to visit some more with the Blakemore's and as a true fan who wouldn't love that.

Hummmmmm
This was not my usual genre that I read, but I decided to keep reading. Once I read about the "blonde haired, blue eyed " woman I was so ready to close this book. I'm kinda glad I didn't. The drama and the suspense was enough to let me finish. I think I'll read "juniors" next exploitation

Well Now!
Yunior is going to be something. I'm glad he's rid of Blondie, sorta, but I have a feeling the door is not closed shut on that situation. I'm also worried about Tito. I kinda liked the way Yunior handled himself, but tha whole Tito situation is another ugly hat will reappear.
This book moved fast. I was funny, and although here wasn't he "Sexy Time," like the others, it's very much appa, Yunior is gonna be something!
I like he other characters, Yield, Stop nd The Mann. It was good to briefly have Lizzie back as well.
I'm looking forward to following this new crew.

December 27, 2021Awesome Read!
I enjoyed reading this book! Yunior coming into his own man! I am glad things worked out the way that they did between Junior and Melissa, knowing that Melissa caused some of the stuff that happened to her! There comes a time in a persons life that, when someone is putting their life of the line for you, you might want to do what they say, how and when they tell you to do it! I think everyone who reads this book will enjoy it and I definitely recommend it! Can't wait to read the next book!

Ed, junior, my chameleon
Ahhh. Sometimes I wish I had been a kept woman that was saved by a czars prince. But like the girl seeking adventure and head rush, I too talk to much and enjoy asking a lot of questions. This novella ruined my teen fantasy and spurred another. Yeah, Olivia. Thanks for making me laugh and hold my breath as I flipped pages on my kindle.

Hot damn!
What do you get when you combine the Blakemores, the Delgados, and the Tecnicians? A hot damn mess that is a hella fun read! Lord, I love Yunior more than I love his father. You must read the Blakemore series and the Technicians to really get the most out of this one. You won't be disappointed.

Different than Expected in a good way 😉
Yunior Delgado is a unique and charming individual with sets of special skills. He gets into a situation that anyone else would flounder and makes it out smoothly. Though the Technicians we're involved, he even astounds them with his chameleon ways. I can't wait to read the next book and witness his evolution ‼️🥰

😕😕😕
As always, I truly good story from beginning to end. However, I am having a difficult time with Irina becoming Yunior’s fiancé.
Though they appear to be attracted to each other, I just don’t feel the chemistry between them.

The Technician series lead me to read this story and I have no regrets. In fact it is clear I need to learn more about Mr. B.

He is El Bocaraca!
The son of the Czar, Eduardo Benicio de la Marta Constanza Delgado Yunior. Tito Montoya will never make the mistake of thinking he was just a kid again. he showed them all. Yunior was coming of age to where he was being forced to marry an appropriate woman that would support him in his work with the family business. According to his father, marriage grounded a man and kept men from making hasty decisions, especially when there is a wife and children at home. But his heart was elsewhere. She stood between Yunior and Irena Villareal's happy union. Melissa Statham was an immature impetuous woman whom Yunior enjoyed being with, but he had to find out on his own if he could make a commitment to Irena first. Irena gave him the opportunity he needed to find himself and end it with Melissa or not. On his way to see Melissa, the blond managed to open up a can of worms for Yunior and unknowingly, his father as well, by starting a war. Yunior had to rely on the only person he knew who could get them out of trouble and that was Saxton Blakemore and his associates. It seems that Melissa listened to too many stories of Odessa Blakemore's adventures in saving trafficked women and children and thought she could make a difference but ended up causing more trouble.
Once the day was saved by El Bocaraca and his cohorts Mr. Stop, Mr. Mann and Mr, Yield and let's not forget Lizzie, Yunior came to the understanding that Melissa would not do in his world. She would end up getting them all killed due to her hardheadedness. He had to let her go and commit to Irena with some stipulations before marrying.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. As always Olivia Gaines has a way with words that makes reading her creations very entertaining. I just love Yunior's mannerisms. The way he butchers names kills me. And Grandma Patsy's chilli saves the day. But I could have just knocked that damned Melissa in the head and given her a good azz spanking. I knew she was trouble from the beginning of the story. My only problem is that I had a hard time remembering the backstories behind Mr. Mann, Mr. Stop, and Mr. Yield and their wives. I guess I'll have to re-read the Technicians Series. Great job Olivia as always.

I would not want to get on their bad side!!!!!
I thought daddy Delgado was scary but son Yunior puts his dad's bad in question! That young man showed a lot of grit, compassion, skills and nerves of steel rescuing his soon to be former girlfriend and hundreds of women and children headed for the sex trafficking ring and essentially getting the group of killers the Blakemore sent to rescue him out of harm's way. Yunior Delgado was so skilled at killing that he killed several men while staring down one of his family's nemesis! I was impressed with his bravery and his ability to make life changing decisions and stick to them. Now I am waiting on bated breath for the rest of Yunior's adventures to begin with his fiancee, and Yield and his family in tow! I was pleased to see members of the company come out to play most notably Mr. Mann, Ms. Hump aka Lizzie , Mr. Stop and Mr. Yield. They got the job done and made a powerful friend in the process. I loved this story and every one of the main characters!!!!! I want much more.

Ms. Olivia Gaines is straight gangsta. She is a beast when it comes to putting a story together and delivering that story. This is the story of the eldest Delgado son coming of age and discovering himself. It is drama filled and one-liners are hilarious. There is a reference to a certain movie that I found very humorous. The book was fast moving and the story flowed. In this book many of the characters from Ms. Gaines' other series make appearances, two of my favorites Mr. Yield and The Mann. However, journeying with Yunior Delgado throughout his gap year will be thrilling, exciting, and just straight hilarious. When reading a Olivia Gaines' read I laugh out loud and smile a lot....so much so that my Hubby often gives me the side eye. I say get the book, have great time with a wonderful read starting what will be amazing adventures with unforgettable characters.

A Very Good and Exciting Adventurous Romantic Comedy
Killers (The Delgado Files Book 1) is a very good and e exciting adventurous romantic comedy that earned a rating of five stars, I loved reading about Junior Delgado's adventure as he tries to break off his relationship with his girlfriend because he is being betrothed to another women. First he has to rescue her from human traffickers., but he needed help to save her and the others so he call Saxon Blakemore for help. I found this book to be humorous and I would recommend it to everyone who enjoys reading very good romantic comedies.

Oh my goodness, I could not put this book down. Olivia you have out done yourself. I thought that I loved Eduardo and couldn’t get enough books about him, but I think I love Yunior even more. He left home for almost a week to figure out what he was (and to end a relationship) and came back a man, very much like his father, yet very different than his father. It was nice to get a glimpse of the other family members. You will love this book. Watching Yunior come into his own was fantastic. I can’t wait for the other 2 books to come out.

Yunior!!!
This was a fast paced really intense story, Yunior Delgado is an extremely interesting young man, his story going forward will be wild. Many of the characters from other Olivia stories are in the book, loved meeting them again.
Look forward to the next installment

Wow I always enjoyed the whole Blakemore series and this is right up there. Loved that Yunior or Ed has come into his own. It’s serious yet at times hilarious just like the Blakemore series. I really can’t wait for the second book to come out. This is a must read from Olivia Gaines as is all her books. I always love her subject matter because is something that I am really concerned about. Yunior is going to make an excellent Czar. Was very impressed by his maturity and skills.

Entertaining
The book was a lot of fun with action thrown in. Melissa really deserved a slap. So naive that she would endanger herself and others. I love how poor Mr Field has made a friend he didn’t want. Looking forward to the next installment. The book will need a spanish speaker editor.

Yunior
Loved it. Very action packed and had its moments of laughter but this was a thrill ride. And we discover he is very much his Fathers son but still his own man. Can’t wait to see where he takes us.

I am all in for Yunior' okay! I like that all the"hitters" were brought together. I am looking forward the next saga. The character are we written and believable. The plot is engaging and not perfectly at all.
