Hannah and the Hitman

By: Vanessa Vale

Narrated by: Gail Shalan, Rock Engle

An assassin and a secretly spicy bookworm ignite sparks in Hannah and the Hitman, a steamy romantic suspense bursting with humor, sizzling chemistry, a supernatural twist, and the ultimate fight for a happily-ever-after.

What happens when a sexy, cocky hitman and a secretly smutty small-town librarian get together? Sparks fly.

I’m a hitman. With all the bad guys out there, business is brisk. I don’t have time to focus on anything but work until I sit beside a curvy woman on a plane…and read over her shoulder. I’m instantly obsessed with the small-town librarian who dreams of having a happily-ever-after of her own but is convinced true love is a fantasy only found in books.

My new job? Proving that she’ll have an HEA with me. Because she’s mine.

Except...big problem. I haven’t told her I’m a hitman. Turns out, she has a few shocking secrets of her own. When a mafia boss doesn’t like me distracted from one last hit, can I be a superhero and keep Hannah alive, or am I not the one wearing the cape?

Hannah and the Hitman has tons of heat, lots of laughs, plus a fun, supernatural twist.

Frisky, but a little too much insecurity

The hitman/librarian schtick was fun, sort of like the movie R.E.D. without the senior angle. However, the ratio of fun to drama was off. There was too much inner monologue of Hannah’s insecurity over her body, desirability and career. Her hard luck backstory also gets bludgeoned over our heads (survived a brain tumor, medical bills cost her her dream job, cheating ex, horrid family…) Even Jack’s inner monologue was weirdly insecure about pursuing her until they have their first date, and then he’s smitten about everything.

The second half got better with the comic book twist and sexcapades, although here too the dirty sex clashed with the comic book vibe. Also, I could have done without all the casual cussing (but that might just be my weird thing of loving dirty talk in the sheets but hating it on the street). Overall, good enough that I’d consider a sequel.

Fun twists to story

Great narration and fun story. Looking forward to next book in series. The powers was a fun surprise

Hanna & The Hitman

It's a bit different from other Vanessa Vale stories. Seems like every 3rd or 4th word was the F word, which is a huge turn off for me. [Sorry, but that's not how I speak on a regular basis.] .I ended up listening to 2/5th, then fast forwarded to last 4 chapters plus the epilogs.
If the book had less F words, it would would be a better book [IMO]

Great story.

Enjoyed the twists and turns
of this laugh out loud plot
If you enjoy romcom this is an easy listen engaging listen

Spicy Rom Com

This was a OK book.
The storyline had a great start and went a little down hill from there. The scene on the plane was great!
Narrators were very good, easy to listen too and seem to fit the characters well.
It is a typical cute meet and then hit the sheets kinda book.
Lots of swearing-be prepared and more sex than necessary. Really didn't add anything to the storyline.
Funny and entertaining.
