This is not my typical type of book - I generally stay in the romantasy sphere - but this was the May book of the month for ProbablySmut and it was amazing!
I love the hardass MMC who is so sweet and tender. And the story was great and fast-paced. The spice was perfect, but too much or too little.
It was well written and the special edition of the book we got was beautiful. The first page of every chapter was black with white text and it was so fun!

"If someone tried to hurt you, what I'd do is so much worse. I'd make them fucking beg for death."
This is very easily my favorite of Kay Cove's. Just outdoes herself with every new novel. Whistleblower, the first in her new series Paladin.
Eden, a strong-willed, sweet girl,, thrown into the worst of circumstances, gets offered the job of a lifetime. The way she takes control and is so strong and compassionate, even to those she should be scared of. She gets thrown a hell of a curveball in her life, and she's nothing if not supportive but ready to throw down.
And Linc? He's a total teddy bear underneath the assassin persona. He's the morally gray character you fall in love with. From the get-go. The possessiveness and willing to kill for the woman he loves; but is so sweet and loving.
I'm in love with their relationship, how he'll burn down the world for her.
And all the others? I'm in love with them all.
Im obsessed, and I don't want to wait until next year for more.
