I thought Rowan was just the quiet bartender who watched me too closely and made me feel things I shouldn’t.
Then his past catches up to him, and I’m in for a rude awakening.
One minute I’m living my normal life, and the next, I’m on a trip across the country with a man trained to kill without hesitation.
A retired assassin. Possessive, violent, and deadly enough to leave a trail of bodies behind us.
Every mile between us and the men hunting him drags me deeper into Rowan’s terrifying world, where violence means survival and bloodshed comes way too easy.
I keep looking for redeeming qualities in him but quickly realize there are none, and there’s no escaping a man like Rowan Teller.
Not even if I wanted to.
In My Neighbor, the Assassin, Heard delivers a sizzling romance between two complete opposites, who might have a lot more in common than they thought. Filled with suspense to keep you at the edge of your seat!
When Rowan Teller makes the decision to leave his home of Chicago for New York City, he didn’t realize just how much his life was about to change forever. Rowan was only seventeen when he had to make a choice if he wanted to survive in the big city. With no choice but join the Bratva, he becomes its deadliest assassin. Known as “the wolf,” Rowan’s job is to eliminate anyone that could pose a treat to its leader. But he is growing tired of the life that’s he’s made of himself. Making it his life’s purpose to leave it behind or die trying.
Now Rowan has been given the chance to prove that he can start a new life as a regular civilian. Until he comes across a beautiful woman crossing the street and into his apartment building. She captivates him right away and quickly finds out that they neighbors/co-workers. Rowan knows that he shouldn’t be getting involved with someone as innocent as Annie Collins, he can’t put her at risk now that the Bratva are looking for him. Yet, there is a part of him that wants to give in to the temptation even if it means losing his heart in the process.
I absolutely loved reading My Neighbor, the Assassin, we get to see the characters develop over time all while getting to know each other. There is so much depth in each of them, Annie is able to relate to Rowan, she becomes his light as he overcomes his past. They are able to rely on each other and slowly develop feelings as well. But it’s when his past comes to hunt him that Rowan has to make a choice, leave his new life behind or risk everything in order to protect that one person he’s learned to love the most. There is plenty of suspense and steamy scenes to keep you rooting for the characters until the very end! All in all, I would highly recommend checking out this story as well as any others from the author. You will not regret it! :)
