Stand by Your Hitman

STAND BY YOUR HITMAN LESLIE LANGTRY Contemporary Romance Rating: 4.5 Enchantments Missi Bombay lives on a private island, raising her two teenage sons and spends her time inventing things like fatal flowers and Jello Bullets. Oh, she's also an assassin from a family of assassins and her mother has just booked her on a reality show, `Survival', not to be confused with Survivor. No, Survival is a cheap Canadian rip off set in Costa Rica. Missi thinks things should be easy, go in, play the game, take out her target and get voted off, that is until she gets to the location and finds herself falling for fellow contestant Lex and even worse, liking her supposed `vic' Isaac Beckett, a reputed arms dealer. But till she gets the green light to go ahead with the plan, Missi has to bide her time. Which wouldn't be too bad, except for the fact it seems someone is starting to sabotage the show and Lex is starting to think she's the one behind it. STAND BY YOUR HITMAN is one of the most hilarious books I've ever read. There were so many scenes that had me laughing that it's tough to pick a favorite to mention. All the scenes on the island were so good. I loved the `camp' set up and how close it was to the sponsor of the show. The challenges and rewards were hilarious. The attraction between Lex and Missi was almost immediate and I liked the chemistry between them. Missi is definitely not your typical heroine and Lex isn't quite your typical hero, but they both quickly climbed my ranks of favorites. Anyone looking for a fun, laugh out loud read will not go wrong picking this one up! STAND BY YOUR HITMAN is the third book in Ms. Langtry's popular series featuring the Bombay family of assassins.

I love this series and this book was no exception. I tore through it in less than 3 hours

Widow Missi Bombay raises her teenage twin sons with the help of her family. She is also Miss Gadget maker for the family business that keeps the Bombay enterprise of paid assassins in the black and their rivals in red. However, Missi's mom is worried about her daughter's all work and no fun lifestyle; if she is not doing something for the kids she is doing something for the business. Mom signs up Missi to attend a poor person's reality show in Costa Rica "Survival" and eliminate alleged arms dealer, Isaac Beckett. On the show, she meets former stuntman Lex Danby who is part of her "tribe". However, as Missi's weapons' construction skills give her side a major advantage, someone is trying to destroy the show though no motive surfaces. The third Bombay satire (see 'SCUSE ME WHILE I KILL THIS GUY and GUNS WILL KEEP US TOGETHER) is a zany affair as Leslie Langtry assassinates reality TV shows. The story line is as always way out as Missi and family go about their business as paid assassins; the family that kills together stays together. Fans of the Bombay brood will enjoy their latest escapades as the audience will stand by their hit-woman. Harriet Klausner
