Cop vs. Capo

Hitman vs Hitman, Book 4

By: Cari Z, L.A. Witt

Narrated by: Michael Ferraiuolo

Wherever August Morrison and Ricardo Torralba go, chaos is sure to follow. The authors certainly know this, since their “standalone book” has now turned into a series with no end in sight, because…UGH. These two. We give up.

Anyway.

Detective David Chandler had no clue what he was getting into when he and his partner decided they were going to nail August for murder. They didn’t realize it was one of the few murders August didn’t commit, or that their homicide investigation would lead them into the middle of a mob war.

Cavalcante underboss Pedro Silva knew asking August and Ricardo for help was a terrible idea. Just mentioning their names is bad for Pedro’s blood pressure. Owing them a favor? Oh Lord. He still asked, though, because he was out of options, but he can’t say he didn’t know he’d regret it.

Neither man expected things to blow up this badly.

Now they’re both on the run from the mafia, the cops, and everyone in between… except for August and Ricardo. On one hand, that means they have two expert assassins in their corner. On the other, it means they have the biggest troll on the planet heckling them at every turn. And sticking them in a safehouse together. With only one bed.

And if August or Ricardo make one more comment about how Dave and Pedro should just hook up already…

Cop vs. Capo is 67,500 words long, and is book 4 of the Hitman vs. Hitman series.

Knew it

I knew this book will be all about these two. But I also knew ahead of time how it was going to end, but still a a beautiful story.

Love this series

Really great action suspense series. Love the chemistry of the MC’s and I’m hoping there will be more. The narration was spot on and brought out the humor and angst. Highly recommend.

Love in unexpected places.

Must read the other 3 to read and understand. 1 chili pepper for spice level. Great world and character development and just enough angst with humor to add suspense without depressing you. Worth it.

Lots of drama; little Ricardo or Augustine

This book is more about the supporting characters from the previous book, Dave and Pedro, a cop and a capo (hence the title), now in hiding from the police and the mafioso. Ricky and August pop up in here and there, for smidges of humor and action, however most of this book is an angsty MM romance between two damaged guys. While I did end up thawing on Pedro (who was totes the villain in book 1), and this was a sweet-n-serious love story, the overall tone was too dark for the series.
