Summary

Watch out for the Assassin’s Claws....

Clay Moreno is a paid killer, just like his four brothers. It’s the family business - they fight together, they die together. Whether they’re working as a group or alone, they are a tight unit who protect their own. 

Clay drew the short straw on their latest mission: Assassinate the American president. He knew the case was going to be tough, but the last thing he expected to find was his mate...the president’s own son. The fact that he began the case with plans to seduce his way into the White House via that same son is beside the point. What his mate doesn’t know shouldn’t hurt him.... 

Nick Jackson is lonely and ordinary in a family of overachievers. He doesn’t want to do photo ops for the press, prep for the next year’s tests over the summer or any of the hundreds of other things his mother hassles him about. All he wants is to relax after his first year of college, work on his tan...and maybe find a boy to flirt with. 

This is the first in a new series of short listens. Note: While MPREG exists in this world, we won’t have a birth in every book. This book contains killer cats, ninja bunnies, and a life-changing mating bite. Get ready for naughty-knotty fun and low-ball humor as only Susi Hawke can provide.

We expect nothing less from a Susi Hawke book, great writing, great characters. I have no idea how her mind works and I'm sure I don't want to see into it. But whatever is within, it comes out perfectly in her books.

Always entertaining, never what you expect. Great characters, great plots.

Read this book a long time ago and loved it, but on Audio it's even better. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant narration by the late great Kenneth Obi ❤

Great new series

Assassinations, assassin cats, ninja bunnies, a President, his son and true mates.

When Nick meets Clay, he just wants someone to see him, not his dad and his influence, to have a great love and family. Clay is most surprised by how he feels around Nick but he needs to be careful as he has a couple of big secrets.

This is the start of a new series by the talented mind of Susi Hawke, narrated by the amazing Kenneth Obi. It is fun, sweet and sexy as hell. We also have 4 more brothers to go. I'm looking forward to more.

unfortunately it has one of the most overused troupes ever and I'm kinda over it, all on me, but can't say it helped my enjoyment.

Ninja Bunnies!

Oh this one is a fun read! Clay drew the short straw and was sent to assassinate a target. To his surprise, his true mate is the target's father! It was an instant connection, insta-love, steamy sex scenes. There's quite a few times I laughed out loud with Nick's antics.

I enjoyed listening to this book. I can't wait to get to know the other brothers. Kenneth did a good job narrating this story.

Killer bunnies vs Big Cat shifter...hilarious!

This new series by Susi Hawke and voiced by Kenneth Obi, one of my top 5 favourite narrators, is awesome and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series being released in audio soon.
I originally borrowed these through Kindle Unlimited and I fell in love with the Moreno boys and this book was an awesome start to a promising new series and I like that there isn't necessarily a birth in each story and the timelines are quite tied together and babies take time to grow, so it's not fair for the author to make the next one in line to find their mate until their sibling has had the mate and the first baby, so I applaud Susi for changing things up and keeping things interesting. A thrilling read and hilarious to boot. Kenneth Obi really brings the characters to life!

Easy listen

I devoured this book in one sitting. The book is cute and definitely hot. I expect nothing less of Ms. Hawke. She delivered again in this book. Not being a fan of mpreg, I liked that it was a background to the action in this book. The premise is interesting – what happens when an assassin, sent to kill the American President, falls in love with his son?

Fun times, anyone?

Clay Moreno is a puma shifter (admittedly a new one for me). His assignment is to kill the President who is threatening the safety of all shifters. The quickest way into the bosom of America’s First Family is through their gay son.

Nick Jackson is bored. His only fun is trying to evade his Secret Service detail. His sister is destined to the best law school in the country. Both his parents are overachievers. He’s adrift at sea, not really called to any vocation, profession, or even occupation. When we first meet him, he’s lying on his bed tossing a baseball up and down, trying to avoid being hit in the face. Even that he can’t do at one hundred percent.

Then he goes to a party and meets the most handsome man bar none. When he gets an invitation back up to the hotel room? Uh, ditch the Secret Service at the door, and hole up having hot hot hot sex. To hell with the consequences. And haven’t we all had days when we want to give the middle finger to the world?


But Nick lives in the real world and there are consequences to his decision. Those consequences work nicely as they bring Clay right into the white house. And where better to be when planning to assassinate the President?

Now, of course things go awry. Something about killer cats, ninja bunnies, and a mate bite. I’ll let you read the story to get the gist, but I got my happy ending which was what mattered most.

I normally enjoy Kenneth Obi’s narration but this one was a bit of a miss for me. Clay has a cultured accent with a trace of Portuguese. The accent came and went without consistency and I found that irritating. Accents are always a challenge, so I appreciate the effort, but it was distracting when it wasn’t there dependably. Other than that, I think he did a good job with the book.

If you’re into shifters, this book is for you. It’s easily digested in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyable.

The assassin finds his mate

Clay has one mission which is to kill the President. Little does he know he’d find his mate within the target’s family. Duty against love. It’s a terrible spot to be in. But Nick makes his decision easier. Good narration...

Cute

While a short listen as described this was definitely a fun, cute, sexy listen :). Looking forward to queuing up the next one.
