My review of\u00a0The Hitwoman Gets Lucky<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0JB Lynn<\/a>. Bonus: it’s free!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a fan of Janet Evanovich and her Stephanie Plum series even though I stopped reading at Book Eight or so. For me that\u2019s a long time to stick with a series since I\u2019m more of a trilogy gal. So, when I found JB Lynn on a friend\u2019s blog I couldn\u2019t resist giving her books a try. I downloaded her free offering on Amazon and kind of started in the middle.<\/p>\n

Maggie Lee is a hitwoman. Accompanied by God and Armani (it\u2019s not what you\u2019re thinking, trust me) she sets out for Atlantic City to do a favor for her murder mentor, Patrick Mulligan. Barry Manilow is involved, too. But she doesn\u2019t have a thing for him like she does for Patrick. Who has way too many rules, one of them about getting lucky.<\/p>\n

The Hitwoman Gets Lucky is a spunky novella with a cache of eccentric characters, including a lizard and a dog. Maggie is delightful. Patrick has an unusual code of ethics but he sticks to them. And it\u2019s clear he cares very much for Maggie. It\u2019s also clear Maggie wants to get lucky with Patrick. There\u2019s great chemistry there. And lots of laughs.<\/p>\n

This is the first free offering I\u2019ve downloaded from Amazon. I know, I\u2019m behind the times. I kind of viewed it as a trial run of the series. Would I continue reading? And paying for the rest of the series? Yes, I would. Without hesitation. Who can resist the adventures of a reluctant hitwoman with a heart of gold? Not this reader.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also, total random love. Pink patent shoes. With bows.<\/p>\n

Plus: Backlash is available on Kobo<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Do you like hitwomen stories? Pink shoes? Free books?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
