There’s nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose. New York Times and USA Today Best Seller L. Wilder brings readers Jasper Nichols, a sexy, totally alpha hitman, who will hold you captive in this new bad boy series. Our lives are defined by moments, especially the ones we never see coming. For me, that moment came when I was given the opportunity to take from those who’d taken from … take from those who’d taken from me.
I became a hitman- killing mob bosses, drug lords and everything in between. With judges in their pockets, these men were untouchable by everyone–except me. With every hit, my plan was always the same:
Day one- receive the target.
Day two- acquire their location.
Day three- plan the kill.
Day four- complete the hit.
On day three of my latest assignment, everything changed. The moment I saw her, I knew she was different from the others. Madison Brooks wasn’t a hardened criminal with blood on her hands. She was innocent, untouched by my world, and undeniably beautiful.
On day three, I couldn’t get her out of my head. I kept imagining what it would be like to hold her, touch her, and claim her as mine.
On day three, I found myself questioning whether or not I could complete my assignment. In fact, I found myself questioning everything.
Many readers were introduced to the sexy, brooding recluse, Jasper Nichols, in Murphy: Satan’s Fury- Memphis. Day Three is a new standalone romance novel with no cheating, lots of wild twists and turns, and a swoon-worthy HEA with no cliffhanger.

I absolutely loved this book
It was a new type of book from the author, I’ve read most of her Mc books and enjoyed them so I thought I’d try this one and am so glad I did. Fantastic….full of suspense and romance. I kept trying to figure out what was gonna happen next and it kept me guessing til the end!!!!
4.5 Stars for the awesome start to a new series!
I have been a big fan of L Wilder’s books for a while now and when I found out that this was going to be a new series, I was so hyped!! And … I was so totally NOT disappointed! I really enjoyed this book. The characters of the book really intrigued me and the flow of the story was awesome.
Jasper is a very too the point character. He follows a path and doesn’t really deviate. But when things don’t make sense, he goes completely off script in a big way. But he never expected Madison would derail anything that goes on within his life. She makes him feel things that he should be feeling and I don’t believe wants to feel. But Madison worms her way in by just being herself. She accepts the damaged man that has seen and done too much and has a very pragmatic handle on the whole situation.
Overall, freaking awesome start to a new series! The characters are engaging and entertaining. The storyline is paced very well and flows easily so to me it was a quick read because I became so caught up. What I really liked was the plot twists that I didn’t see coming. I had a feeling about some of it, but the reasoning why … NOPE! Didn’t see that coming at all.
So, two thumbs up from me and happy reading!
Book one in the What Bad Boys Do series. Can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone with next book about a secondary character from this book. Full length told in dual POV with HEA. I liked the romance between Jasper and Madison. I didn’t love the mystery behind the reason she was on his “hit” list. I liked Jasper’s family and look forward to reading their books.
We finally get Jasper’s story! After his time overseas has left him with PTSD, Jasper is living with his somewhat girlfriend in an attempt to get both their lives started and on track. When tragedy strikes just when they start to make headway, Jasper retreats into himself and through his previous contacts ends up working as a hitman in order to gain revenge on those who caused the tragedy. When he gets a hit that isn’t like the others, he is intrigued and questioning his orders, which he has never done before. Going against the orders so he can get to the bottom of why the hit was put on Madison, the two develop feelings after accepting each other for their pasts. I was NOT expecting the truth of who put the hit on Madison and what I loved about this book was that we were kept guessing throughout the duration and the twist that involves Madison’s family was just as surprising. Overall, it was a good start to this spinoff series as we previously met Jasper through the MC, and I can’t wait to see who’s next!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is the first book in a new series from this talented author, and what a thrilling masterpiece this is! Jasper is a sexy alpha, who is a hired gun. Madison is his next assignment, and this has him questioning everything about his life. No spoilers; this is an absolute must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written flawless story, which has twists, suspense, and is a steamy read with explosive chemistry. I was on tenterhooks throughout, and I cannot wait to read more from this gifted author, whose work I highly recommend for all.
OMG this book has intrigue right from the start. Your questions will turn from who to why. I love how this story has a ‘Jo Raven’ feel to it which is another beloved author. Don’t worry this is definitely a Ms Wilder book but it gave me all the feels that she and other favorite authors produce. All the mystery and unraveling backstory kept encouraged my need to devour this read.
Jasper and Madison had me at hello. They are so spicy together. You feel the attraction from the beginning. It caused some conflicting emotions when I thought about what brought them together.
Jasper has some real darkness though it is expected since he is a hitman. Thank god he has some heart and doesn’t just do things without forethought otherwise this story would have a very different telling.
Madison is AMAZING! You love her from the beginning. Plan for tons of questions. Why would someone put a hit on such a beautiful soul… eek keep reading so you can know all.
Ms Wilder branched our from her MC world (I LOVE THAT WORLD BY THE WAY) and tackled this genre beautifully. It wouldn’t be a Wilder book without the tease at the end of future characters and reads. LOVE IT! She knows how to feed my addiction. Wink. Happy Reading!
A fun, quick little jaunt with a hitman who can’t figure out his next job.
Jasper has severe PTSD issues since the Iraqi war, and watching the girl who waited for him through his deployment get killed right in front of him really isn’t helping.
After separating himself from that life, and moving to woods, Jasper is contacted by his former military commander to get back in the ugly business of war.
Madison is a very normal girl working at an art gallery, and Jasper can’t figure out why people want her dead, but he knows by Day Three he’s not going to be able to kill her. Once he decides to keep her it’s really not much of a stretch that he needs to know why someone wanted her dead, and from that moment he and Madison just keep getting closer.
A fun, suspenseful novel where I would never have expected the outcome. An amazing HEA, I can’t wait to see what L. Wilder does with Grady or Liam in the next book.
Day Three is an exciting, thrill ride of a story that starts a new series from this author. It is not an MC read but the author has taken her tremendous skills and applied them to this romantic suspense story, proving that she is a master of alpha men and writing.
This is the story of Jasper Nichols, a complete and total alpha who is also a hitman (if you’ve read Murphy then you have met him before but it is not necessary). He is your dream man (believe me you’ll want him)! I debated about giving a short synopsis of the plot but I think that it is best left to others. I really want to just say how much this story kept me on the edge of my seat, how I could not put it down, how addicted I was to turning the pages. Days later and I wish I could read it again fresh and new. This is by far a favorite story from this genre.
The characters are detailed and flawed, they felt real and emotional. I really was so involved with this story that I found myself talking to the characters (and that hardly ever happens). The romance is perfectly balanced with the action and the mystery. I loved the choices this author made with the story. I can’t wait for more stories in this series and I hope that others love this story as much as I did. I received an ARC and am leaving an honest review, I also bought a copy.

Jasper is a man on mission, every time someone contacts him with a new target. Madison, his latest target, isn’t like any of the others. As Jasper takes them off the grid, they learn more about each other and the events that shaped them into who they are today. As with every book I read of Wilder’s, I am continually amazed by the sheet talent coming from each book. As the reader, you get transported to a different world and love seeing your friends in other books.

5 stars from us
Jasper Nichols, hitman! Madison Brooks, an everyday woman. What in the world has happened to put her in Jasper’s cross-hairs, literally? I could not put this book down. Fantastic characters, wonderful plot, over-flowing, sexy, hotness! I loved every page. I read this on Day One, and will probably read again on Day Two; Day Three was that good!!
I absolutely love this author’s MC books and I couldn’t wait to get my hands this book even though it’s not an MC book. This book doesn’t disappoint! Jasper has set rules he follows and on day 3 he broke all of his rules and spared his target. That’s right, Jasper is a hired gun and only takes out vile human beings that hurt others but Madison is none of those things. She is just as she appears- sweet and innocent, not like Jasper’s typical targets. So he breaks his 4-day rules for her and his life and hers is thrown into chaos because of it. This book is gripping and suspenseful which kept me captivated from the beginning. I can’t wait for more of this series!! I highly recommend this book!
Holy Hades what a ride I got out of this book. I loved every moment of it and had to keep reading late into the night until I finished it because I just had to know what was going to happen.
I mean its not everyday that a hit man falls for his mark. Jasper is different though because he is a serious alpha male who has nothing to live for so he becomes a hit man taking out all the scum of the world and he loves his job. Then he gets this one assignment and he thinks he has it all wrong because there is no way the person is supposed to kill is this absolutely stunning lady he is curious about.
Madison has a hit on her and she doesn’t even know it. She goes about her life like she always has until she meets this gorgeous stranger and he changes her life as she knows it.
Can Jasper keep Madison safe or will it all go down in a blaze of ashes…….
Oh wow! This was such an amazing story that I just couldn’t put down! I’ve been looking forward to Jasper’s story since reading Murphy because I just knew he’d have a great story to tell and boy was I right! There is emotion, mixed with danger and suspense that kept me glued to my seat. Add in Madison, her strength and how they clicked and this is a must read, don’t put it down, book! I will be anxiously waiting for Grady and Levi!
I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
3.5 Stars
Despite its description of a hitman contracted to take out an apparently innocent mark don’t go expecting a dark romance as this really isn’t one.
At its heart, “Day Three” is a really sweet love story that combines suspense and action with an almost healing balm of how the right person can help to heal the broken pieces of a damaged psyche.
This one is an easy read that is told in dual pov.
Its very instalove, low on the relationship angst with a deep romantic vein.
It did work for this and if you like your stories more on the warm side this one will definitely do the trick.
I thought the epilogue was a sweet touch as well.
So despite being fairly predictable in places, this was still an enjoyable experience.
One last observation I did feel some of the actions taken by the hero were a bit on the DUH! side especially considering his profession, you would think he would no better.
They were only small things like when Madison turned her phone on at the cabin when she was meant to be dead and when they run to his family as well as staying on for a meal with his family to please his mum when there was a hitman on their trail and they should be solely focused on their own survival.
But they still niggled me slightly as I felt a hitman just wouldnt behave this way and make silly mistakes.
I also liked the way this is set up for a tale focusing on the brother and I expect all the siblings will get there own story.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Day Three (What Bad Boys Do #1).

Wow! Day 3 had me riveted to the pages from the very start while play havoc with my emotions. The book is very well written to the point like I felt like I was right their living the action with characters I had known for years. The books simply stole my heart from the very beginning with events that lead up to Jasper becoming the cold, reclusive man he is today.
You see, Jasper is a hitman. It wasn’t something he set out to be but life events evolved into this career path and now Jasper is one of the best at what he does. Once he is given a mark he has a 4 day plan to execute the hit. But on his latest job, he got to day 3 and decided something wasn’t right. He killed bad people that escaped justice, not demure, sexy couriers who worked an art gallery. On day three his cold heart came to life and he started questioning the hit. Why would anyone want to kill, Madison? She appeared to be an innocent woman from everything Jasper could ascertain. What was it about this woman that made him question is directives for the first time?
From here the author took me on a mesmerizing trip full of suspense, mystery, intrigue and romance. Two people against unimaginable odds. Kudos to the author for an absolutely captivating storyline. This reader can’t wait to see what comes next in the What Bad Boys Do series. As for Day 3, I highly recommend grabbing it up, you won’t be sorry you did. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 phenomenal stars.
