This book kept me on the edge of my seat and turning the pages of my kindle, I could not put it down! Jessie is a dragon shifter who works as a hitman for the mafia in New York. He's had enough of it and says he needs a break. His boss says OK and offers him a secluded place to vacation. But there's a catch he has to do one little job whilst he's there. Running and hiding from the mafia's head man Laura and her daughter Beth keep a low profile. But Laura’s sister has told the wrong person where she is hiding and she's Jessies new target. When Jessie meets Laura there's something about her, their chemistry is off the charts, will he do this job or will he follow his heart?

I felt really bad for Jessie, because he believed he didn't deserve to be loved or happy. He wanted out of Daryl's group, he was tired of him telling him to kill others. It turned out not to be his true calling.

There is a lot of action and intrigue throughout this story. I have read and enjoyed this entire series, and hope more are in the works!

Loved how Jessie got out of mobsters business from his gangster boss. Sent on a bit job and would not do it. 💘 loved this story.

I am a huge fan of Abigail Raines. She knows how to write a great story with characters that you would want for your friends! This is the forth story in the Alpha Dragon Club series. You don't have to read the previous stories to enjoy this one, but you might as well, since they are fantastic. You will get a better understanding of these guys and what they will do for their 'blood brothers'. They are all Alpha dragons and very rich. That doesn't mean that everything comes easily for them just because they are rich. I think that being rich makes it even harder to fine happiness. Laura is a human female who fell for a guy, Darrel. At first he was nice and kind and then for the next few years he was abusive. Nothing broken, but verbal and in ways that would make her feel weak and powerless. She now knows that not only is he a mobster but he is a dragon too. When she found out she was pregnant, she ran. She has been running for two years and now lives in a small town in Washington state. She is a freelance writer who writes from home while she raises her adorable little daughter, Beth. Jessie has been on his own since his parents were murdered by a fellow dragon. First he lived on the streets and then he started doing little jobs for a guy who paid him very well. As he grew older, and bigger, aka HUGE, he became Darrel's go to guy. Darrel knew that Jessie didn't like to play hitman, but now and then he did, but only if the guy was a really bad person. As he has gotten older, in his thirties, and seen all his friends in the Alpha Dragon Club find their mates, he is thinking of getting out of the business. He tells Darrell he is thinking of getting out and is sent on a vacation for two weeks and told he will be sent an easy job to do. Thinking it was just to pick up a package or something, he waits a few days to open the email with the job. Meanwhile, he meets the neighbor, a beautiful woman with a one year old baby, who is a dragon. The more he is around her the more he feels she is his mate. After being really close, he figures he should check out the easy job Darrel sent him to do. Not only is it a hit, which he hates to do, it is on an innocent female, Laura.

I've liked this series, so far. I was skeptical of this title, because I really don't like gangster books. Jesse takes the protection of his mate seriously, although she is carrying another dragon shifter's baby. He goes as far as to destroy his boss because his boss sent him to do a hit on Laura. The good thing is that Jesse belongs to the Alpha Dragon Club and they seem to balance out the dirty part of his life. I would have like to have seen some of the characters from the other stories in this book. It would have given it more of the series feel.

Great storyline. Both Jessie and Beth have a damaged psyche from situations in their pasts. When these two get together, sparks fly and they are able to support each other. Enter the villain, and their world is turned upside down again. Can Jessie protect his mate or will evil prevail? I love this addition to the series. It kept me turning page after page to see what would happen.
