A visit from Button Man means only one thing: someone wants you dead.

Duke is born into the world a hired killer. Then one fateful night, the unthinkable occurs and in the most tragic of moments, a promise is made. That promise is kept for almost fifteen years, until he comes face-to-face with a target he never expects and a future he never sees coming.

Kelly spends his days in a classroom, while his nights couldn't be more different. Unbeknownst to those around him, their friendly neighborhood teacher is the handler for a hit man. For over a decade he has watched Button Man's back from behind a computer screen.

Button Man

I liked it. A good story, has action sweet, a good plot . finished in a day ..

Now that was a listen

Filled with mystery, killer vibes and a whole lot of revenge this was a listen I couldn't stop listening to. The characters were great and the back story, the humor and personality of them just tickled me pink. I am actually looking forward to listening/reading more works from DK.

Loved It!

I love Davidson King's Haven Heart series (I discovered it in audio and listened to them) and am looking to snatch up everything else with that type of vibe. As soon as I read this premise, I knew I had to listen to it. Great would building and wonderful characters. I like the dynamic of a relationship between a hitman and his handler- even more so when Duke accepts a job to assassinate his handler (unknowingly). The story had so much mystery and suspense that it was easy to get hooked. I loved both Duke and Kelly, and liked that they both had things they were better at than the other. Kelly "facing off" against Everleigh's principal Pemberley was such an awesome moment I fist-pumped and it's one of my favorite scenes. I liked the way they grew closer, came to trust each other, and fell in love. The chemistry between them was sizzling. I loved the dangerous action scenes. Davidson King does it so well!

I love both Iggy Toma and Tor Thom, and thought they did a fantastic job bringing these guys to life. Tor's deeper, gruff voice was perfect for Duke and Iggy's really suited Kelly.

I really hope we get more books with this theme and in this series!

Great Plot

Wow! This story actually has a plot we haven't read before. How refreshing! Great narration, too.

Don't Pass this one bye

This is a great book! It's light and easy as well as a little dark. However it never gives up on making you feel good.
