The Accidental Assassin (The Assassins, #1)

Okay, what happens when an American tries to reverse out of a parking house in central London? Definitely not what Ava McKenzie expected to happen that's for sure! She is house sitting for her friend Tess and her new husband whilst they are honeymooning. Life wise, Ava is in a rut and looking for a change of scenery and excitement in her life. Little did she know that trying to get to a last minute, unexpected job interview would change her life forever!

Owen Walker has always been very particular about the jobs he takes. He is world renowned and has never failed an assignment. He only considers the jobs where he feels he is doing a service for the good of the people, only his conscience is not good for business and his contact is not very happy about the way Owen is so choosy about his jobs.

This is a fun and humorous escapade with two people who you wouldn't normally associate together. Owen is the most unlikely assassin you will ever meet because he cares about what he does, believing and knowing his actions will make a difference to the innocent victims of the heinous crime of human trafficking and prostitution. Ava is along for the ride because she's a mistaken target, an accidental assassin and been shot at!

The banter between the protagonists laugh out loud funny and witty. The supporting characters are quirky and fun. What is most interesting is the character development of both Ava and Owen. The longer they both spend in each others company, the more they take on some of the other persons traits. In ways you wouldn't expect.

This is an action packed suspenseful romance that is highly entertaining.
