How to Shield an Assassin by A.J. Sherwood
5.0
I'm done. I'm just a goner for any of A.J. Sherwood's books and I adored this one. I loved the idea of an assassin feeling so horrible about the life a child is stuck in that he ends up adopting her. And Remi, she's just plain awesome. She's had such a horrible start to life, with a god awful stepfather and no way out. Why wouldn't she approach a guy she's just seen kill the worst of the worst in her neighborhood to help her? Of course Ari's reaction isn't exactly what she expected or really what he expected either.
I'm so glad that this story is the love affair between and assassin and a mercenary. I was terrified that this story was going to have Ari falling for some small town teacher or something. Someone who would be oh so perfect for Remi. But, man that just wouldn't have worked. They would never have understood Ari's background and have had the patience that Carter did. Carter may not have known what he was getting into exactly when he tracked Ari down, but he's completely thrown for a loop with what he found. But, he's an honorable guy and would never betray a confidence, and as he gets to know Remi and Ari the last thing he wants to do is give away their secrets. He wants in, he wants to be a part of their little circle and Remi's more than on board with that plan.
Add in the fact that Ari has the awesomest friends and they're all off on a crazy heist job to steal back a famous Monet, well I'm done. This was a thoroughly enjoyable romp from beginning to end. I can't wait to be back with all of these guys in the next book.
