The Kite by N.R. Walker
5.0
I'm a sucker for a grumpy-sunshine pairing, even more when it's between two contract killers that are on the run after having hits put out on each of them. This was described as a queer Jason Bourne romantic suspense, and that is so true.
I loved the pairing of a very talkative and charming hero teamed up with a strong and grumpy giant hero. One that also turns extremely protective. A hero that will burn the world down for you is such an excellent trope. There's some hot and desperate steam, along with building that emotional vulnerability after you've already had sex.
I have highlighted so many sections, with the banter (and chemistry) between the leads, to the swoony moments. I loved how much Harry (the grumpy one) got mad at himself for doing little things for Asher (the sunshine one), and proceeded to keep doing it. Buying him his favorite mints when he's grabbing them food, care taking, spooning in the one bed.
There's also plenty of plot and action in this, if you are looking for a romantic suspense that also has heavy romance with the heavy suspense, i'd recommend this one. I loved it. (Also the epilogue was perfection and I will not be elaborating more.)
**I do want to note that I have no expertise or large knowledge of the countries discussed or the wars mentioned in the story, and was reading as someone from the US with limited knowledge of the cultures and people represented throughout their traveling.
I received an ARC copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
