Bad Boy Next Door. by Abigail Graham. Romantic Suspense/Thriller. My Review.

I can't resist the bad boy next door... 

I don't have time for men when I'm raising my daughters alone – especially an obnoxious jerk like my new neighbor, Quentin. 

Tattoos, muscles, ego. I told him to move his car and he sprayed me with a hose. We make each other furious, and he gets me wet. 

I should have slapped him, but I let him drive me to work instead. He ended up driving me wild. 

He won't share his number, tell me what he does... but one look and I'm begging to be his, one touch and my panties hit the floor. 

I know he's wrong for me, but he feels so right. I'm falling for the bad boy next door. 

--- 

I kill people for a living. I never thought I'd get in trouble for refusing to murder someone. 

I was supposed to kill all the witnesses. When I couldn't pull the trigger on an innocent girl, I became a marked man. 

Now, I'm stuck in the 'burbs, laying low and trying to blend in. 

Just one problem – my new neighbor, Rose. 

She showed up on my porch complaining about my car. I had to slam the door in her face before I pulled her inside, pinned her to the wall, and took every sweet inch of her. 

I shouldn't do this. I shouldn't let her in. But I can't stop thinking about this firecracker moaning underneath me every waking second. I'm poison to her and I don't need a girl, but when I lay eyes on her all I want is to keep her in my bed forever and pleasure her until she forgets her own name. 

She's mine and nobody's taking her from me. I'll put my lips all over this woman if it's the last thing I do. 

Quentin Mulqueen is a hit man,  but he made a drastic mistake on his last job.  Now he has a price on his head, and the man who trained him to kill is after him. A friend sets him up with a safe house in a gated community. 
Rose Hayes is a divorcé with two daughters. She is struggling to make ends meet. She works for a chauvinistic dentist and is studying at night school.  Unfortunately there are not enough hours in the day.
This is a great romantic suspense.  Our hero is not a nice man. His way of solving problems is a little too physical.  He does have his own code. No one should harm women  or kids. The people after him don´t care who they hurt . They kill viciously anyone who is in their way.
Our heroine is over worked, under paid and completely worn down. Her girls are adorable and do their best to help mum. The hot bad tempered man next door is someone she has not got the time or the energy to deal with 

 This has a surprising resolution to Quentin's problem. Lots of danger and some hot sex scenes. A very enjoyable read.

Abigail Graham is a huge geek, writer, and teacher, in that order. A huge fan of anime, superheroes, and gritty romances, she loves binging on coffee and writing wild stories about love and violence. Not necessarily in that order.

Abby's fifth novel, Hawk, is now available.
