She thinks he’s more than a killer. He’ll have to kill to prove her right.
Robert
I’ve been working for Don Capelli since I was twelve. I can’t even tell you how many people I’ve killed, but lately I wonder if I’ve still got the stomach for it. Not much choice, though--a man like me doesn’t get to have a nice little wife and family to come home to.
And now there’s this chick. Emily. Cute, and sweet, and innocent--it’s her old man who has gambling debts. But I’m holding her hostage until her father pays up.
Except he’s not paying, and the Don wants to turn Emily into one of his whores.
It ain’t right -- she didn’t ask for any of this.
I gotta protect her somehow … and hope Don Capelli doesn’t find out.
Emily
I’ve spent my life buried in books. They’ve been my closest companions, my true friends … but they didn’t prepare me for this.
I’d be scared to death except for Robert. I know he’s done awful things, but he’s not an evil man, not deep inside. And he makes me feel things that no man ever has.
He’s all I’ve got since my father abandoned me.
If we bring each other pleasure … is that so terrible?
When Robert runs away with Emily to keep her safe, it’s not long before the Don’s hitters come after them.
Can he keep them both alive--and battle his own doubts--long enough to give their newfound love a chance?
Hitman’s Kiss is a full length romantic suspense mafia novel with NO CHEATING and a HEA.
Hitman Kiss eBook Kate Sands
*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review*I have to honest and admit that “Hitman’s Kiss” fell far short of my expectations. I was really excited about reading the book based on the description of the book and due to my own addiction to Mafia bad boy romances. I really hate giving bad reviews, especially for books that belong to a genre that usually ticks every box in terms of what I am looking for in a book.
The plot was weak as it lacked the action and character development that I have come to expect from a good bad boy romance. Robert, the hero while being a likeable enough character, lacked the characteristics of a strong and decisive leading male character that would have gone a long way in making this a good bad boy romance. Emily even ended up being the one who had to make the first move to ignite their romance: ’’This is going to sound really strange, but ….” I paused and then smiled. “Do you want me?”! Which brings me to the somewhat lackluster sex scenes where Emily makes reference to her “secret chamber of pleasure” not once but twice!! Then the following paragraph describes their first sex scene: “His manhood throbbed inside of me, and I cried out as I felt the full effect of his swollen flesh press deeper and deeper into my womanly bounty”!! Definitely not the romance scene that a reader expects in a Mafia bad boy romance!
I liked the friendship between Robert and Marco and the way that they had each other’s back. I, however, felt that the story should only have been told Robert’s and Emily’s POV as having some chapters also told from Marco’s POV stole the limelight from the two main characters. Marco’s narration would have better if it had been told in the third person. Two stars from me for the story.

Hitman Kiss eBook Kate Sands Reviews
Hitman's Kiss is full length novel with romance and suspense. There is some violence due to it is centered around the mafia, but there is a happily ever after. This story is told in alternating POVs.
Emily is an regular girl who attends college. One night her door is smashed in by two men, and Emily is made to go with them. Robert and Marco are in charge of collecting her for their boss, Don Capelli. The men take Emily to a house / mansion to wait for Mr. Capelli. Robert and Marco have Ace status in Don Capelli's organization. When Capelli arrives, he gives Emily the creeps. Capelli tells Emily that her father has a lot of gambling debts. Emily learns that she is to work off her father's debts. Later the men are instructed to bring Emily to The Chamber, a brothel. Robert and Emily are very attracted to each other. Robert wants to protect Emily and keep her safe. He refused to let her go to the brothel. With Marco help, Robert goes on the run with Emily. They go to a safe house used by Marco's family. Unfortunately, Marco goes out one night and ends up seeing Melissa. She takes him back to her hotel room and poisons him, but not before learning where Emily is at. Luckily Marco is able to make a call to Robert that saves his life. Melissa is a cruel woman. She is just like her adopted father Don Capelli. She is able to shot Emily with a poisonous arrow. Poor Emily is kidnapped once again and taken to The Chamber by Melissa. She does not know if Robert knows where she is, but hopes that he will find her. Robert does not know where Melissa has taken Emily and slowly seems to become depressed/lonely. Robert eventually gets a tip on where Emily is and goes to rescue her. Robert boldly walks into the brothel and finds Emily hiding in a closet. After laying low for a few days, they plan to get as far away for Capelli as possible. Unfortunately there are men waiting for them at the airport, but Robert makes sure that Emily is able to get away. Eventually, Robert decides to go to Emily and check on her.
Emily and Robert are an unlikely pair / odd couple, but they fall hard for each other. I loved the sexual chemistry between Emily and Robert. Robert was definitely an alpha male, especially in the bedroom (or kitchen, living room or against the door, etc.) Yum. Emily was strong and knew what she wanted in the end. In the beginning, she seem switched back and forth between being weak/skittish and being bold/strong. I would like to know what became of Emily's father. I liked Marco's character and hope that there will be a book for him in the future. I was given this arc book in exchange for an honest review.
Plot = 3 1/2 Stars
Bad, Boy / Alpha Male = Yes
Damsel In Distress = Yes
Sexy / Hot Level = 4 Stars
POV = Alternating (rotating each chapter)
Overall Story = 3 3/4 Stars
I was excited to read this book after reading the blurb for the story, but unfortunately (just my opinion), this fell flat from the start. The overall premise of the story has potential, but the execution from start to finish just wasn't fully realized. The characters seemed to be one-dimensional at best; Robert is the muscle/hitman for Don Capelli, but his overall demeanor is more on the soft side. There are a couple of times where we see Robert in his hitman mentality, but for the most part he's pretty meh. One thing that somewhat worked was the fact that Robert does have a moral compass of sorts, in regards to the Emily situation.
And that brings me to the h of the story Emily; **MINOR SPOILER** two men kick in the door to your residence and you don't freak the hell out? Then you're told to pack a bag because you're going with them and you don't freak the hell out? They take you to some other location and deposit you only God knows where and you don't freak the hell out?
There is a lot that happens in this story, Don Capelli and his nefarious plans for Emily, people being poisoned even sex trafficking. One thing that I couldn't quite understand is that if Robert knew of Don Capelli's plans for Emily, why did it take a note from a stranger informing him of Emily's whereabouts? If it was my romantic love interest, I'd be looking left, right and sideways to find them. It was also a bit odd that Robert claimed to be into Emily, yet it was she who initiated intimate times with him? One last item I think this story should have been from the POVs of Robert and Emily, throwing Marco's POV added a bit too much to the formula.
