Killer Smile
(Assassins in Love #3)
by Tawna Fenske
He’s a covert operator. A killer built by the U.S. Army. He’s tasked with taking out his dream girl—and not on a date.
Targeting Nicole should be simple, since she hates his guts. Sebastian The Dentist—yes, a real freakin’ dentist, don’t make it scary—has wanted Nic since they first locked horns. He’s not sure why they’re enemies, but he knows there’s more to the sweet daycare owner than crayons and cardigans. But discovering her secrets lands them both in danger they’ll dodge only by working together.
Between awkward wedding dates and puppies with no personal space, Sebastian and Nic get closer. They’re also close to discovering if Nic’s dead associate may not be so dead.
If Sebastian can stop her from hating him long enough to eliminate the threat, they might just fall in love. But only Nic can stop him from hating himself.

Favorite Quotes:
Not his fault he’s got a gigolo brain, a stripper body, and a Boy Scout smile.
It’s official. She’s a loser who gets turned on by dental products. There’s probably porn about this.
“Chimbo?” “It’s penis slang in Colombia. Weirdly enough, it means ‘fake’ in Paraguay and ‘worn out’ in Venezuela.” Nic gives him a sweet smile. “All phallic words, if you think about it.”
He was thinking of growing old together. Of the pair of them sharing smiles and secrets and maybe gun mounts on their walkers.
My Review:
If a fun and beloved series has to be concluded, this is the way to do it. The busy storylines were active in all directions while engaging, amusing, surprisingly twisty, and delightfully unpredictable with generous helpings of smirk-worthy snark. I was pleasantly surprised at the multiple layers, clever texturing, and unexpected complexity of the characters, they were not who I was expecting them to be. Tawna Fenske is a wily one, and I revel in her easy-to-fall-into and humorously entertaining style, highly enjoyable storylines, and unfailingly quirky and appealing characters.
