His Reluctant Savior, the third book in the District series, is my first introduction to the characters and author. But based on this story, it won't be my last.

As this was a story that captivated me, and saw paid assassin Sid given the file of his next target. Who just happens to be betrayed  FBI analyst Dalton. Someone Sid once knew well and who Sid is determined to protect instead of kill. Even at the risk of betraying his family and those who trust him.

But Sid has good reason for making his choice, not least because he once harboured feelings for Dalton, and he's determined to keep him and his son Owen safe. Regardless of the consequences.

And when he lays eyes on Dalton, all those old feelings come flooding back, and Sid is determined that he is never letting Dalton go. 

That is if they can survive long enough to have a happy ending.

And with a great deal of humour and banter. Not to mention the perfect balance of tension, drama, action, and spice. This was a story I found hard to put down, and I particularly loved the development of the romance between Sid and Dalton. Which felt completely natural considering the predicament they found themselves in.

I would happily recommend His Reluctant Savior to all, and I will definitely be picking up the first two books in the series after reading this ☺️
