because of the hit he made to save jock, tarr is now a target. and he becomes someone erick is helping. and even worse, he's someone erick is drawn to. tarr doesn't pretend to be something he's not. he's not the bad guy with a heart of gold. there is no false altruism. he's a guy who ended up with crappy choices and got stuck. and now he asks no questions and does what he is paid to do. but erick asking these questions is giving him pause. he's thinking. he's wanting. maybe he's changing.
maybe seeing jock and fiona and the possibility of having something more than the life of a hitman got the emotions he'd locked down involved. maybe it's just wanting erick, the feeling of him in his arms. but first he needs to get the men chasing him down, chasing his family down off his back. and he's going to need a team to help him this time. and that is already life-altering.
this was just a fast, enjoyable read. erick and tarr play off each other perfectly. and the conflict was satisfying in that emotionally angsty way i love. i wish that this would have been a full-length novel, because i think there was enough meat to this story to build up, but i was pleasantly surprised that the publisher went for a m/m romance at all given that the series had been m/f until now, so that's cool. i'd assumed that erick was destined to be a guncle, alone and single with flynn gone.
