Publisher's summary

Ricardo Torralba and August Morrison don’t agree on much besides the fact that they hate each other. According to Ricardo, August is a spoiled brat who really needs to knock off the sass, once in a while. August insists that Ricardo needs a sense of humor, a good lay, or a well-placed bullet. Maybe all three.

Fortunately, the assassin’s profession is a solitary one, and they can go about their lives without getting in each other’s way.

Usually.

When a contracted hit turns out to be a setup for both of them, they narrowly escape with their lives. Now, even if they don’t like it (spoiler: They don’t), August and Ricardo have to work together if they want a shot at survival.

In between firefights and questionable interrogation methods as they hunt down their would-be killer, the cranky assassins discover that under all that mutual loathing is a spark of chemistry they can’t ignore. They want to ignore it, they probably should ignore it, but August can’t help flirting to annoy Ricardo, and Ricardo can think of at least one way to shut him up for a while.

But they need to focus, damn it, and figure out who’s gunning for them and why. Assuming they don’t kill each other first.

Hitman vs Hitman is a stand-alone, gay romantic suspense featuring two men who’d rather chew glass than fall for each other, a whole lot of inappropriate comments, and some buttons that will need resewing.

What a crazy fun ride!

I really enjoyed listening to this one! Ricky and Auggie are two hitman gone set up. The story and the plot was really unique and written well. I really enjoyed the MCs rapport, their snark and banter and Augustos had me laughing out loud several times!
Michael Ferraiuolo’s performance was stellar! I love the touch of music too.
I hope there’s more stories from these two. Their dynamics work so well and very cute and funny together as much as they’re deadly dangerous too.
Oh, and more sexy times, please! 🤩

I listened to this story three times in a row

I ADORE this narrator, and this story made me laugh out loud more times than I could count. I really loved this book. <3 I'm PRAYING there will be another one! To this day I still have moments when a friend looks very annoyed with me, and all I hear in the back of my mind is; "Aww.... Ricky. <3" Because - lets be honest - I'm not normal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Brilliantly performed by Michael Ferraiuolo! YES!

What a painfully hilarious (audio)book! No, REALLY! My head ached for about 60 minutes, my sides ached for days, and my eyes burned for hours from the tears I shed in laughter! With Michael Ferraiuolo narrating this awesome bit of madness, I am still surprised I didn't wind up hospitalized. For those loving a great guffaw, grab yourself a rather large drink and prepare to hurt yourself! It'll be just what you need, I promise!
In 'Hitman vs Hitman' Ricardo Torralba gains entry to the mansion of the man he's been hired to assassinate. The money is wonderful and he's all set to go except things aren't what he expects! There's a major party scheduled for that evening with visitors who'll have their own personal bodyguards. Then there's August Morrison who was also paid to assassinate the very same man!
The two assassins couldn't be more very different from each other, having nothing in common save their sexual interest in men! They find themselves having to depend on each other when it becomes clear that each is targeted for a hit! They put their heads together and discover that they were unwilling to accept a job to murder an innocent victim. Now they must kill the folks that are gunning for them.
It took me forever to get through the audiobook for two reasons: 1) I would laugh so much, so hard I'd miss something that would inevitably have me laughing loud and long. I'd had to go back and listen again. (It was a lot more fun than one would think!) and 2) I just didn't want the story to be over! I wanted to draw out the wonderful story by going back to listen to entire chapters over again! Allowing the story to unfold was easier when things in the novel became serious! Yes, there are a couple of tense spots in the narrative! I became fearful and anxious for my boys whom I fell for so completely within the first hour! By the time the conflict was brilliantly resolved, I was contacting the writers on Facebook begging for a series! Fortunately for me, dozens of other writers were calling for a series, too!
The novel had everything especially an incredible narrator! There was lots of comedy but the subject matter is serious. The writers are brilliant in giving us assassins who are basically good guys and completely lovable. The background that each man has that resulted in their chosen profession is sobering, and in one case, quite heartbreaking. The main characters grow in more than just their appreciation and love for each other. They learn to accept and respect each other, in spite of personality, cultural, and socioeconomic differences. I can't wait for the sequel to this book!

Excellent.

Truly enjoyed this gem of a story. The plot was something unique to me, the characters personalities enjoyable, and the voice acting was perfect. Michael Ferraiuolo really brought the story to life. Highly recommend for anyone looking for snark, excitement and just a plain good listen.

lol! that was fun 😁

Would I listen to it again: yes ✔
Did the story keep me engaged: yes ✔
Was I invested in the characters: yes ✔

📖 Story comment: good pace, great characters, entertaining story.
I had this playing while I was doing some boring stuff at work, I was so delightfully entertained with two hitmen reluctantly teaming up to find out who was after them, that I'd finished what I was doing without even noticing!
Ricardo and August have delightful banter, entertaining personalities and a cracking adventure.

🎧 Narrator comment: Michael Ferraiuolo is fast becoming a master story teller. His performance on Hitman vs Hitman was thoroughly entertaining. He suits the characters, has good timing, inflections and intonations, there is no doubting the connection between the two MC's and he brings life to every scene. 👍 👍

Crazy fun

A fun, crazy story of two hitmen hired for the same job only to find out that they were meant to take out each other This was a fast paced book full of snark, action, attraction, and humor as Ricardo and August try to figure out who wants them gone. Michael Ferraiuolo is a master of accents and he did a fabulous job bringing this story to life.

Love This Book/Audio

Ricky and Auggie are hilarious together, they make you love them from the very beginning. Book is also action packed from beginning to end. The narration is on another level of great.
