This was such a cute rom com with a sci-fi/supernatural and mafia twist!

Hannah and the Hitman follows our fave, small town, spicy book loving librarian Hannah who is stuck between two sketchy men on her flight home from a book event. When the handsome Jack forces the goons to play musical chairs so he is next to Hannah, he surprises her by reading her latest smutty book over her shoulder. Hannah shares her deepest desires with Jack and that is enough for him to become thoroughly obsessed with Hannah and wanting to make her his. The only problem... she doesn't know he's a hitman. 

I adored this book. There is just something I absolutely love about reading characters who love to read. Hannah's family is absolutely crazy and unsupportive of her reading career/dream. She truly needed someone like Jack to come into her life to uplift her and allow her to be herself. Jack needed Hannah to realize there is more to life than just being a hitman. 

Definitely recommend especially if you're looking for a fun (and smutty) palette cleanser! 

Thank you to Valentine PR and Vanessa Vale for the ARC! 🖤
