Too confusing, too silly to enjoy.
Give it a miss and save yourself the headache of trying to get to the end.
What a shame this book is so poor in a series that started so well.
The humour fell so flat as to be downright embarrassing.
I struggled to even comprehend how this was part of the series.
Marina was a brainwashed psychopath killer, Darrin went from being someone whose story I wanted to read to this weak idiot who kept chasing a woman trying to kill him. Talk about thinking with his small head.
He even went so far as to marry her and demand she spend time with him after blowing up the church with all his friends in it.
Just a big no.
No humour, nor chemistry, no relationship, no like.
I’m in love! With this author’s writing, with Marina, with Darren, with this terrific story, need I go on? This is my first read by this author so I didn’t know quite what to expect and this was a terrific surprise of fast-paced action, sexy romance, even sexy characters, and laughs. I loved the humor in this story. The witty banter and snarky comments were so funny and added levity amidst the violence and mayhem. The very capable Russian femme fatale Marina, super assassin is my new favorite heroine. She chewed up the bad guys, and Darren, and spit them out. I loved that she took Darren out of his comfort zone. He did a great job of keeping up with her even when his Alpha personality was challenged. And speaking of Alpha. He’s hot! He made my lady parts tingle. As the owner of a mercenary training school he’s no slacker but his desk job has him a little behind in field expertise. But Marina will protect him at all costs. And there are lots of bad guys trying to kill him. But the mystery of the Mastermind has them stumped. A very entertaining spy thriller with great mystery, fabulous characters, action and adventure, suspense, danger and some many laughs. Terrific!
I have always liked Eve Langlais books and she did not disappoint me with this book. Holy hades was this freaking hilarious! Francesca, or Marina, is awesome. Her one liners and amazing and so perfectly go with her whole attitude. She has no fear, but again with the way that she was raised I can understand that. I could not believe just how much I laughed during this book. The dialogue between all of the characters was awesome and the situations that they came up against were outrageous, but so fit with the storyline.
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Marina “Francesca” Sokolov lets us know that a mystery is afoot. And she made me glad that I was able to go along for the ride. Darren Thorne thinks he’s the man in charge but it was interesting to watch Marina prove him wrong. Both these characters have strong personalities. Sometimes it was hard to figure out what were truths and which were lies. But that’s a good thing because that was one of the reasons to keep turning the page. The other reasons would be the mystery and suspense and not to mention the action. Our author was smart by having the questions about truth and lies go all the way to the end. We are always curious as to whether we ever find out the answers. And I was curious to find out who finally ended up on top.
As mentioned in the title, there’s a wedding. I wanted to see if I got to be a guest or not. Too bad I’m on a liquid diet or I’d have a piece of cake handy – I like chocolate, wonder if they’ll have chocolate? Maybe marble? I like plenty of frosting – got to feed my sweet tooth. The ending was perfect because I wouldn’t have expected any less from Marina and Darren. Saw the cover of the next book – where will the author’s imagination take us next.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Hitman Wedding is the fourth book in the Bad Boy Inc. series by Eve Langlais. I was hesitant to dive in without reading the previous books because I’ve done that before and it was a HUGE mistake. Eve gave enough background information that I wasn’t lost but not so much that it took away from the current book. Bravo for that! This book is fast-paced and full of action both in and out of the bedroom. There are fiery explosions around every corner including the intense love hate relationship between Darren and Francesca or is her name Marina?
Darren is the gorgeous owner of an academy where people can “learn how to be international problem-solving experts”. While on a previous trip to Paris, he met the stunning model Francesca. Their connection was immediate and the sex….it was mind blowing until Darren showed up one day to an empty apartment. She was gone and he was alone and brokenhearted in the most romantic city in the world, the city of love. Darren spent months looking for Francesca only to learn that she was a mirage and he had been played for a fool. Darren’s former students are being targeted and he finds himself in the crosshairs of the Mastermind. The only person who can keep him alive is the person he hates the most…
Marina is a Russian assassin. Francesca was her cover. Meeting and gathering information from Darren was her job as was killing him. Sleeping with him was simply for her pleasure and what a pleasure it was. It wasn’t Marina’s first time sleeping with a target but Darren was different. She missed the way that he could make her body respond. She missed his smoldering eyes. She missed…him. Marina didn’t miss anyone but Darren had gotten under her skin. Now her job is to keep him alive or is it?
I loved this book! These are two very strong, well developed characters. Darren isn’t a trained assassin but he has skills and is very smart. I love a smart man. Marina is just a bad-ass. Their dialogue is sarcastic and hilarious and their chemistry is off the charts. Without hesitation, I give this action packed book 5 propellers. The twists and turns will keep you on your toes and I have no doubt that the ending will come as a surprise.
4.5 Stars for Hitman Wedding which is book 4 in the Bad Boy Inc Series but this book can be read as a stand-alone I know this because I haven’t read the previous books in the series and I still loved this story. Eve Langlais is an author I have touched on but for some reason that I can’t explain I seem to have missed some books certainly this series was an a miss that should never of happened well now I have admitted that I promise I will be going back to read the previous books in this series.
If you want a book that’s full of action, suspense, twists, a lot of great banter and some seriously passionate times you will want to read this book, the Wedding of the century is about to take place and we are all invite to enjoy the celebrations as well as some unexpected events like exploding bombs !!!!
I loved this story I loved the characters and the banter they shared, the chemistry was sizzling and it was really a fun book to read. Thank you Rare 19 London for putting me back on track with this very talented author who I can’t wait to meet next year.
I loved this book. It’s like a twisted James Bond movie with hyped up heat! Fran and Darren are in a ride of their life. I adored Fran because of her feisty attitude. Darren, well he tries hard to be the “bad guy” but fails miserably. The relationship these two have is one in a million. The action and drama built in this story was so on point, it was like watching an erotic action movie! I loved everything from the characters, the story, to the heat factor!
4 star review Hitman Wedding (Bad Boy Inc. #4) by Eve Langlais
This was a new author to me and I have absolutely no idea why that is. I have to thank the fact that I am attending RARE19 London next year for discovering Eve Langlais.
This was a fun, fast paced read with plenty of action. Although this is book 4 I was able to follow the story line so that I enjoyed this read. However, when time permits I will go back and read the previous books and then perhaps to a re read as I feel I would get more enjoyment if I knew a little more of the back story.
Having been burnt by Francesca (now known as Marina) before, Darren is out for revenge and this time around he plans to win.Having said that he doesn’t realise just how much she has burrowed under his skin and he finds himself tempted once again.
There was danger and suspense but also plenty of sizzling scenes, humour and a hero that made me swoon.
This was such a great book! Fast paced, action, and amazing characters! LOVED!
