‘Assassins Love People Too’ is the sequel to ‘Assassins Are People Too’, and you really should read that book first. It will not only give you the details and character history you need to understand what is going on in this book, but it is also hilariously funny and very suspenseful. In fact I thought it was a hard act to follow, but am happy to report that I think the sequel is even better. There is a little less humor and more suspense as Dillon and Marc’s lives come under threat, but there is also a deeper look at their developing relationship. Dillon is still pretty naïve, and that gets him into trouble more than once, and Marc is beginning to admit that he has feelings. After the heart-stopping cliff-hanger of the previous book, events take off at a run in this sequel before they accelerate. Hold on to your hats for this one!

Dillon’s life is threatened almost constantly as Julio, the main bad guy from book one and Marc’s personal enemy, goes after him to get to Marc. As much as Marc tries to teach Dillon how to be safe (or at least less unsafe), Dillon just cannot get into the frame of mind necessary to survive in the kind of world Marc lives in. Yes, he wanted to be with Marc and came willingly, but the day-to-day situations he finds himself in are not what he expected.

Marc has his hands full trying to keep both of them alive while deciding whether he really wants to retire. What if Dillon is with him for the excitement? When Marc asks an old friend, Ronin, for help and that friend turns out to have had feelings for Marc, the ruthless assassin needs to figure out how to assure Dillon while making plans to take out Julio. Things go from bad to worse and the final confrontation with Julio forces Marc to say things he never even expected to think, never mind say out loud.

If you like assassins as much as I do and want to find out how Dillon and Marc are doing, if you want to watch a catastrophic threat to their newfound love unfold, and if you’re looking for a read that is suspenseful, funny, and touching, then you will probably like this novella. I hope there is another book in this series - soon!
