Review: All I Want For Christmas Is A Hitman by Katie Reus

‘Tis the season for more holiday shenanigans in the newest Holiday with a Hitman story…

About the Book

She’s just trying to keep her farm running and her llamas out of trouble…

Scout isn’t sure what to do with the stranger who showed up on her farm carrying a bag of cash and weapons—so she orders her llama to knock him out. But when her nasty neighbor shows up trying to cause trouble, he takes over and keeps her safe so she figures she can trust him enough. If only he wasn’t so sexy and distracting…

He’s a hitman looking for redemption…

The last thing Hudson remembers is being on a job. Then he wakes up in a strange bed with a lump on his head, wearing llama pajama pants that are just a little too tight. And oh yeah, there’s an angry-looking llama watching him through an open window. As a lethal hitman, he immediately starts calculating how to get out of his current situation—until the most gorgeous woman he’s ever seen walks through the door. The idea of sticking around suddenly doesn’t seem so bad. And when it’s clear someone wants to hurt her, he decides that they’ll have to go through him—if only he can convince her to trust him. After that, he’s going to convince her to spend forever with him. And that’s going to take a Christmas miracle.

My Review

I absolutely LOVE the Holiday With a Hitman series! I know it sounds scary, but I assure you it’s anything but. The series is slapstick comedy with a bit of mystery, a little suspense, a sprinkle of danger, some steamy chemistry, loads of Christmas cheer, and lots of laughs!

I love Scout and Hudson’s crazy meet-cute where he trespasses on her property, gets knocked out by a llama, and wakes up tied to a bed. Either Hudson is not a very good hitman or llamas are secretly covert operators just waiting to take us all down. I’d like to think it’s the latter 😉

I really enjoyed the fast-paced storyline, the touching moments stolen between Scout and Hudson, and the special guest star appearance from previous characters in the series. Not to worry though, all books can easily be read as standalones.

What really stole the show were Scout’s llamas! They are fun, funny, and SO loveable! 

If you’re short on time this holiday season but need a pick-me-up, definitely pick up All I Want For Christmas is a Hitman.
