This was a short, erotic, historical tale involving a courtesan, an assassin, and a corrupt mayor. I think it's a good way to sample Suzie Grant's work. I read her Wrong Kind of Paradise recently and thoroughly enjoyed it as well.For a short story, it was good. I did find the falling in love and opening up to each other with their dark secrets be a bit abrupt and sudden, but again, it's a shortie. Ava is a courtesan who wants to hire Gabriel to kill her lover. Why? Because her lover killed her family... Well, Ava is a lusty woman who enjoys her job. I'm not into women of ill repute, myself, but I appreciated that this heroine enjoyed sex. It was a pleasant change from the frightened, simpering courtesans you often find in historical romances. Ava uses sex to her advantage and likes it.I also liked that the sex scenes had some unique language/descriptions. Suzie Grant has a unique style and a good writer's voice.
