The Kite (The Milvus Files #1)
N.R. Walker
Ex-Australian Specialist Response Group, Tim “Harry” Harrigan, has been running covert ops for almost a decade. A lone wolf, he’s single-handedly taken down terrorists and national security threats, or so he thinks. He’s been in the game far too long, and when he sees a familiar threat, he knows his time is up. Asher Garin is a dangerous man. A man without loyalty, a man without a nationality, without a country, or a home. He’s also a mercenary for hire to the highest bidder. His next job is a face he recognises, and after a tip-off, he learns he too is a marked man. It’s a different game now, and Harry and Asher have a better chance at surviving if they stick together. But it’s not just the game or the rules that have changed. The stakes have too. Because on their own, they had nothing to lose. Together, they do. ~ #EnemiesToLovers #GayAssassins #UsAgainstThem Caution: on-page physical and gun violence. Reader discretion advised.

0 0Thank you so much to the author and Netgalley for providing an e-arc of this. All thoughts and opinions are still my own.
This was a fun grumpy/sunshine assassin romance that definitely requires a serious amount of suspension of belief. In this, we follow two assassins are discover they have a hit out against them and work together to uncover who is behind it. All while falling in love.
This book is action packed from cover to cover. I loved how fast paced this story was and following their travels all over Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
However, this a romance. And I found the romance to be lacking. While the plot was well paced albeit mildly ridiculous (but fun!) the romance was all over the place. I didn't understand why these 2 liked each other beyond their connection through their job and trauma.
There was zero romantic build up and it almost felt like one of the characters was goading the other into intimacy. I needed more development on the romance side. It felt like we went from hate sex to love in 10 seconds with zero explanation or development.
Overall I enjoyed my time reading this. But it's been less than 24 hours and I don't remember the characters names. This isn't a story I particularly connected with and it's not likely to be one I think about again.
