Deadly Little Sparrow and his Murder Marshmallow!! And both those names completely evoke who those men are. 

I adored this darker, yet lovely, mafia story by KM Neuhold. If someone else wrote it I would probably describe it as “if KM Neuhold wrote mafia”, so there you go.

Sparrow is a spitfire seeking vengeance. He’s scrappy and determined. He has tunnel vision until he meets Xaviaro. The mafia assassin helps him out and now he can’t shake him.

Xaviaro has a protective streak a mile long, which is common for a man who’s job it is to protect the boss and his best friend, but those instincts also kick in when he meets Sparrow. 

Nothing wrong about a little obsessive stalking, and then wooing by offering to help him with this mission. All good relationships start that way! Right?!

But then there also the fact that Sparrow is willing to put Xav on his knees and give him a chance to let go. Which i love. There is something extremely sexy about a big bad enforcer wanting to give up control.

The give and take between them was wonderful and they actually melted my heart in the bond they created.
