Last Hit: Reloaded
Hitman Series – Book 2.5
By Jessica Clare and Jen Frederick
Synopsis
There was a time when Nick loved the fear he instilled in his enemies. His tattoos alone promised danger, but it was the look in his eyes that delivered on it. A contract killer since he was just a boy, Nick has now forged a new life and a new identity with the woman who followed him, captured him, and changed him.
He terrified Daisy. Once. But she couldn’t resist, and she ignored every warning. It paid off. Now she’s part of a new beginning, a fresh start in America helping him to leave behind a reckless and violent past as a professional killer. But the past is never easy to outrun, especially when so much of it thrives on revenge.
A new threat has emerged from the shadows, and now Nick and Daisy have no choice but to rely on Nick’s killer skills to protect them from everything they’ve tried so hard to escape.

Whatever it was, the women in my classes steer clear of me.
I can’t blame Nick. He wants to keep me safe, and I love him for it. After my kidnapping last year by Yuri and Vasily, I don’t mind his hovering. It makes me feel secure, even if it chases away any chance of friendship with “regular” people.
As I swipe my iPad and open the text to the class’s lesson, I tell myself that these things don’t matter. That the approval of my peers does not matter to me. I have Nick, and that should be everything.
But in some ways, not having any girlfriends to chat with makes me feel as if I am still that isolated young woman living in a boarded-up house with my father. I had no friends then, either. And funnily enough, I thought that friends and life would come easily once I escaped his house. And while Nick blazed his way into my life like a comet and paved a path for me, I still struggle with everyday things.
Like small talk. I never realized how much of a favor my friend Regan did me when she took me under her wing. But now Regan’s in Texas and I’m having to figure things out on my own.
Michel’s Review
The Hitman Series by Jessica Clare and Jen Frederick is one not to miss! The first two books in the series were solid 5 + Star Books. The intensity of The Hitman Series had me on the edge of my seat. The Hitman series is not only an intense and highly action packed series, it is also seductive and alluring. The passionate romance between the jaded assassins and the guileless innocent women will have the readers squirming and swooning. Their stories are unforgettable. Their passion is explosive. Their world is unpredictable and will never be completely safe.
Last Hit: Reloaded is a continuation of Nick and Daisy’s passionate story. It should not be read as a stand alone novel. Read the book Last Hit, book one in the series, before reading Last Hit: Reloaded.
Nick and Daisy have found a love they never could of possibly dreamed of experiencing in their lifetime. It is an all consuming and passionate relationship. They are striving to have a normal life. Neither Nick or Daisy know what normal is.
Nick has been an assassin since he was a boy. He has learned from his experience in the Russian Mafia to stay unattached. He has lived his life as a loner until he met Daisy. He is still constantly looking over his shoulder. He trusts no one. He is trying to become a part of society and find a new place for himself in the world. He is attending college, pursuing his art, and becoming a jack of all trades. He wants to make a good life for Daisy. He will do whatever he can to make her happy. He will even allow new people in their lives so that Daisy feels like she is normal.
Daisy walked away from an abusive and sheltered home life. She has never attended school, been exposed to the outside world, and certainly never had a social life. Her world was censored and filtered. She has no concept of life in the real world. She is attending college, exploring new hobbies, and trying to be the perfect woman for Nick. She is also desperate for the things that normal life entails. One of those things is the desire for friendships and companionship outside her relationship with Nick.
These two socially inept people will struggle with life outside of their home and outside of their relationship. They will both have to make changes within themselves as well as in the life they have started to build. It will be a whole new eye opening experience for both of them. Can they hold onto their passionate relationship and blend in the real world? It is worth their best efforts.
They will meet some questionable people. They will make some tremendous mistakes that prove how socially inept they are. They will find that the past they have fought so hard to leave behind is knocking on their door. Will they find the perfect balance they need in their lives? Daisy is too trusting. Nick does not trust enough. Both are right and both are wrong.
This is a must read series! Nick and Daisy will capture your heart. Their story is intense.
Last Breath is the second book in this series. It features Nick’s only confidant and Daisy’s only friend. It has to be read after Last Hit because of the circumstances of their story.
Jessica Clare and Jen Frederick have created an extraordinary action packed series. The chemistry, sexual tension, and passion between the characters is riveting. The Hitman Series is explosive!

Book 1
From two bestselling authors—the first in a deliciously bold new series that takes readers to the most dangerous edge of desire . . .
Nikolai: I have been a contract killer since I was a boy. For years I savored the fear caused by my name, the trembling at the sight of my tattoos. The stars on my knees, the marks on my fingers, the dagger in my neck, all spoke of danger. If you saw my eyes, it was the last vision you’d have. I have ever been the hunter, never the prey. With her, I am the mark and I am ready to lie down and let her capture me. Opening my small, scarred heart to her brings out my enemies. I will carry out one last hit, but if they hurt her, I will bring the world down around their ears.
Daisy: I’ve been sheltered from the outside world all my life. Home-schooled and farm-raised, I’m so naive that my best friend calls me Pollyanna. I like to believe the best about people. Nikolai is part of this new life, and he’s terrifying to me. Not because his eyes are cold or my friend warns me away from him, but because he’s the only man who has ever seen the real me beneath the awkwardness. With him, my heart is at risk . . . and also, my life.

Last Breath
Book 2
From the bestselling authors of Last Hit comes the next in the steamy series that explores the exquisite power of our darkest passions . . .
Regan: I never really knew what misery was until the day I was kidnapped and sold for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Two months later, I’m at a brothel in Rio when I meet Daniel Hays. He says he’s here to save me, but can I trust him? All I know of him are his sarcastic retorts and his tendency to solve every dispute with his gun. He’s also the only safe thing in my world, and I know it’s wrong to fall in love with him, but I can’t seem to help myself. He says he’ll protect me until his last breath, but I don’t know if I should believe him or even if I can.
Daniel: For the last eighteen months, one goal has dictated every action I’ve taken. I’ve left the Army, turned paid hit man, and befriended criminals all across the globe to find my kidnapped sister. In every brothel I raid and every human trafficking truck I stop, I hope the next face I find is my sister’s. In a hidden brothel in Rio, I find Regan Porter, bruised but not broken, and still sane despite her weeks in captivity. I should leave her behind or send her home, because the last thing either of us needs right now is to get involved. But with every passing minute, I find I’m less able to let her go.

Last Kiss
Book 3
Release Date: May 5, 2015
From the bestselling authors of Last Hit and Last Breath comes the next dark and sensual tale in the Hitman series that crosses the line between danger and desire…
Naomi: When I was kidnapped I thought only of survival. I don’t thrive well in chaos. That’s why I gave my captors exactly what they wanted: my skill with computers. Making millions for a crime lord who kept me imprisoned in his basement compound kept my family safe. When he was taken out, I thought my ticket to freedom had arrived. Wrong. I traded one keeper for another. This time I’m in the hands of a scarred, dark, demanding Russian who happens to be the head of the Bratva, a Russian crime organization. He wants my brain and my body. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued, but I can’t be a prisoner forever…no matter how good he makes me feel.
Vasily: At a young age, I was taught that a man without power is a puppet for all. I’ve clawed—and killed—my way to the top so that it is my heel on their necks. But to unify the fractured organization into an undefeatable machine, I need a technological genius to help me steal one particular artifact. That she is breathtaking, determined, and vulnerable is making her more dangerous than all of my enemies combined. But only I can keep her safe from the world that she now inhabits. Soon, I must choose between Naomi and Bratva law. But with every day that passes, this becomes a more impossible choice.
