Warden and the Assassin

The Grae Sisters, Book 1

De: Eve Langlais

Narrado por: Ada Sinclair

I'm the sister you don't want to meet in a dark alley.

An assassin for hire, I've got skills other people don't. Blame my magical heritage and a mother who gifted me a set of knives and my first revolver not long after my sixteenth birthday.

When a magical object transports me to a perilous jungle as part of a job interview, I have to admit I'm intrigued. So what if my future-seeing sister told me to avoid the stranger offering me employment. She also told me we'd end up lovers.

I can see why. The Warden—real name Bane—is all kinds of sexy and grumpy and massively cursed. He needs me to keep him alive during some kind of arcane event. If I do, then I get to choose a treasure. Oh, and save the world.

Me, a hero? Guess we'll see because I'm about to come face to face with more monsters than I knew existed. I'll be tested. Seduced. And, according to my sister, will most likely die.

The odds are against me, but now that I've met my match, I'm determined to win this fight—and his love.

Contains mature themes.

The story

I liked it all and was hoping for a sequel as in the other sisters story

Loved it

Book 1 in the series can’t wait for book 2. Recommend to all romance action readers.

Loved it!

Ms. Langlais' stories are always enthralling, and this one is no exception. The snarkiness of the Assasin is right on point and snort-worthy. The emotions felt real and added to the storyline. Definately worth the listen.

Cannot express enough how much I loved this!

Finally! I have been waiting for so long! I absolutely LOVED the role reversal on this! Instead of the women being angry and emotional and inexperienced, the man is in this book. I loved it! The only thing I didn’t like really was the narration. I’ve listened to other books narrated by her and she’s not bad perse. But I associate her voice with YA. So it’s off putting. Can’t wait for book 2!!!

SO GOOD

Great story and narration! I’m immediately jumping into the next one. The first book has definitely got me hooked for the rest of the series

I really enjoyed the dynamic between the sisters

I kind of just don’t understand the whole point of the book. Nothing really happened and it certainly wasn’t good enough to continue the series. I will say, though that I really enjoyed the narrator of the story she was really good.

Teenage, lady Deadpool humor

“You kidnapped my sister, prepare to die!”
Yay for feminism, I guess, as she’s a pot smoking, lecherous smart-mouth who gleefully kills. Instead of fair play meaning her playing down to the level of men, I’d have preferred if men were raised to the level of behaving like ladies. But, this is not that kind of book.

“It’s just a flesh wound.”
This is about sex jokes and comic book adventures, with the all of the best lines stolen from pop culture. It’s shallow, vapid, crass … and cares little about plot or character development. This is bubblegum romantas; enjoy the flavor and don’t worry about the empty calories.
