Assassin Next Door

Bad Boy Inc. Series, Book 1

De: Eve Langlais

Narrado por: Rebecca Mitchell

A killer with a white picket fence.

Suburbia, a great place for a man with secrets to hide - while investing in some solid real estate. The biggest drawback?

Neighbors.

In this case, a neighbor with sexy curves and a bright smile. Good thing she's not his type. Single moms with annoying exes are on the do-not-date list.

Stay away.

Calvin wants to; it's just not happening. He can't help but find himself drawn to the chaos next door. And when danger threatens his suburban lifestyle, this assassin doesn't hesitate to act.

Killing people is easy. Domestication, on the other hand, terrifies him.

loved it!

It wasn't very realistic but I enjoyed every bit of it. didnt have high hopes but I fell in love from the beginning

It’s a great listen

Eve does it again. Another 5 star listen. In this one Eve shows her sarcastic funny side . Her stories are amazing and this is no different.
Right when you think the guy next door is just as normal as you and I you find out differently.
Calvin is the hero. He lives out in the suburbs where there is plenty of land. He’s an assassin who will do anything for the right money . He’s a realtor who is successful. There is one drawback. He has a sexy neighbour who he knows he can’t get to close
Lily is his neighbour who is divorced with a kid . Lilly has a problem with her ex and his outlook.
Does Calvin help Lilly with her problem

Rebecca was great reading this !!

Guns-N-Ammo-N-Amore

Campy, sexy spymance had me feeling Bruce Willis B movies like R.E.D., The Whole None Yards, and even the show Moonlighting (IYKYK). Who cares about realism when it’s so much fun?

Listen at 1.25x speed

The Narrator sounded pretty weird at first but when I listened at 1.25x speed she sounded fine. The story itself was cute and worth a listen.

Meh the heroine just wasn't for me

Please know that I love Eve Langlais I've read loads of her books but this one, I just didn't like the heroine even to the end. The hero I loved, I listened to the whole thing on Audible the person who voiced it was fantastic so it wasn't that, it was I just couldn't get behind the heroine, because of that this book was only so so for me the writing is great, the action was fun, sometimes you just can't like them all I guess.

Fantastic

Loved it! Easy to follow along with. Just the right amount of excitement and heated romance. I loved the narrator, excellent work.

I couldn’t get through it

I kept falling asleep and after the 5 time restarting from where I fell asleep, I gave up. It happens sometimes with some books🤷🏻‍♀️ I genuinely enjoy Langlais and think she has really fun stories but I couldn’t warm up to this one 😐

what . . .

I love most of Eve's stuff. Her dialogue is ever improving.
This audible performance should be discounted. It was stilted and robotic all too often. there were strange hesitations. I am not sure what the author had to pay or if the performer is new, but it was not what I wanted, expected, or could even listen to for long.
lots of room for improvement.

So much fun!

I’ve been over loaded on angsty reads lately, and this book was just the cure I needed. It was fun, funny, and sweet and hot by turns! I’m moving on to the others and. This series.

Highly Recommend

I loved this book. It is well written, fast moving, has brilliantly developed characters and while themed around assasination and killing - it was sort of tongue in cheek (which I realise seems weird), and a light easy read.

I actually think that this is the first book in a while that I have found riveting, I just wanted to keep reading.

The heroine was believable and while she had some issues, the author at no point treated her like she was an idiot. Even when there was a TSTL moment, this was acknowledged, which sort of made it fine. The topic of domestic and family violence was handled very respectfully and it takes a talented author, to be able to write a strong, alpha male lead who at no point uses coercion or bullying to get what he wants, he is just respectful and clear. I love an author that doesn’t base the plot around some bullshit miscommunication.
