Blurb
What happens when a snarky hitman and a by-the-book PI cross paths?
Leland
Being a hitman has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest and won’t let go.
Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally-not-fictitious blow-up doll Randy (or was it Dandy?), but I know better. Why else would he be teaming up with me to bring down Hardek, one of the city’s most ruthless criminals?
Jackson
Even though the cops are telling me that the hitman is a notorious contract killer, I can’t help but admit that I’m drawn to him. He’s funny, charismatic, and attractive. There’s no way this ridiculous man can be the person the cops are after.
But when Leland ends up at my doorstep injured, I’m faced with a tough choice. It’s my duty to hand him over to law enforcement, but my heart has other plans. I want to keep him. To protect him. To be with him.
Though one question remains: why in the world does the man have so many d*mn guns?
Contains: shenanigans on a swing that you would NOT find at a playground, a car chase that sadly doesn't have flips or explosions, a horsey ride sans horse, cuddles, an exuberant mutt, a suspicious chief of police, and lots and lots of laughs.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Alice Winters is a freakin' genius! The Hitman's Guide to Making Friends and Finding Love is spectacular! If you love banter and snark, if you love laughing out loud often, you need to read it asap.
Plot aside, these two men had me in stitches throughout. I could not stop laughing at Leland. Both his banter and his actions left me in tears. I love the way his mind works. He's probably my new favorite all-time book character.
The storyline itself is great. Alice Winters excels in her ability to weave a wonderful action story with non stop humor. Despite the serious nature at times, one still is left with a light feel throughout.
I can't recommend this book enough. But it's definitely one of those books you need to read in private, as you will seriously laugh, snort, and cry big fat funny tears often.
It's full of one of the most hysterical characters I've ever read. Leland is amazing. And he never, ever stops. But his love for Jackson is overwhelming, leading him on a whole new life path. And damn, as a couple they are phenomenal.
Honestly, there is nothing quite like an Alice Winters book. If you haven't discovered her works yet, do so now. You won't regret it.
