Summary
An MM Murder Swoon Romance
From USA Today Bestselling Author Kelly Fox comes a uniquely unhinged Mafia romance。
Look， no one's ever accused me of being sane， y'know？ So when I say that I am crazy over this RICO agent， know that I mean business。
Sure， I'm responsible for getting him fired from the job he's wanted his whole life， but his grandfather just died and left him 13。1 billion dollars。 Dude deserves a break， is all I'm saying。 And yeah， I'm a violent mobster with a savior complex， but that shouldn't get in the way of our epic love story。
Besides， a little gunplay in the bedroom is good for the soul。
Distraction is a Mafia romance that features a frustrated RICO agent-slash-reluctant billionaire， a delightfully deranged mob enforcer with questionable boundaries， and a simple takedown that ends up a little。。。explosive。
As with all of my morally gray do-gooder romances， there are no cliffhangers， and the HEA is guaranteed。

Good readI enjoyed this series very much。 I liked both the main characters and the storyline， neither of which were too heavy， this making it an ideal book to relax with， an added bonus is the dark humour running throughout。

Hopper finally gets his RICO agent in true Kelly Fox fashion。 We have seen glimpses of Hopper trying to get with Liam through all the previous stories in this series。 Despite being a serial killer with a heart， I have loved the character of Hopper。 Those he holds close in his inner circle never have to fear， and he counts Liam among those he loves。 However， Liam has been outwardly averse to all of Hopper’s attempts to get close。 He is slowly worn down however， especially after his grandfathers d Hopper finally gets his RICO agent in true Kelly Fox fashion。 We have seen glimpses of Hopper trying to get with Liam through all the previous stories in this series。 Despite being a serial killer with a heart， I have loved the character of Hopper。 Those he holds close in his inner circle never have to fear， and he counts Liam among those he loves。 However， Liam has been outwardly averse to all of Hopper’s attempts to get close。 He is slowly worn down however， especially after his grandfathers death。 Things get real when someone attempting to circumvent his grandfathers will use Hopper’s phobia to contain him。 Liam goes all scorched earth to protect the mobster he has come to love。 He quickly realizes the line he swore to never cross is an easy one to disregard when it comes to keeping Hopper and his found family safe。 Although this was the end of this particular series I am sure we will see cameos of these gentlemen mobsters and their billionaires in future series， at least I hope so。 Looking forward to Kelly’s next book！！ 。。。more

Worth waiting for Each time I read one of Kelly’s books it becomes my favourite and this one is no exception。 Hooper and Liam are the ultimate unlikely odd couple。 The differences and barriers between them should be too big to overcome yet somehow everything works。 As always there are beautiful descriptions of what and how the characters are feeling as well as good use of established characters from previous books。

This is an excellent addition to the series。 I have been looking forward to this book more and more with each story。 Hopper is a character you don't expect to fall in love with immediately but his blatant disregard for social niceties won me over immediately。 Liam wobbled for me at moments but he ended up being exactly what Hop needed。 This is an excellent addition to the series。 I have been looking forward to this book more and more with each story。 Hopper is a character you don't expect to fall in love with immediately but his blatant disregard for social niceties won me over immediately。 Liam wobbled for me at moments but he ended up being exactly what Hop needed。 。。。more

Liam/HopperWe've met Hopper a few times， and he seems completely dedicated and loyal， with a penchant for enjoying killing people。 We see a completely different side of him in this story， and I adored it。 Him being bashful and romantic is so swoony！Liam is very cool as well， I love how he is so thoughtful towards Hopper， and really gives Hopper the deep love and affection he was missing from a partner。 As always I absolutely adored the close friendships between Rand， Mads， Ford and now Liam。 I l Liam/HopperWe've met Hopper a few times， and he seems completely dedicated and loyal， with a penchant for enjoying killing people。 We see a completely different side of him in this story， and I adored it。 Him being bashful and romantic is so swoony！Liam is very cool as well， I love how he is so thoughtful towards Hopper， and really gives Hopper the deep love and affection he was missing from a partner。 As always I absolutely adored the close friendships between Rand， Mads， Ford and now Liam。 I loved the found family vibe and seeing Anders and Omar was epic。 Fox's humour is top notch， I loved all the banter。 The scene at the end with Mads， between Luca and Anthony had me howling。 Adored every word。 。。。more

All the stars for Hopper and Liam。 I must admit it took me longer to warm up to Liam but he got there eventually。 Hopper I have loved from the beginning and the amount of times he broke my heart open during this book was record breaking。 I was also excited to see my favorite Wrecked Guardian couple make an appearance。 Definitely a must read and I would read the series in order because otherwise how would you fall in love with Hopper before his story even begins。

I Want My Own Hopper NowIf Hallmark did dark comedy with super original dialogue and story lines， they’d have done this。 But they didn’t because they’re not Kelly Fox。 I have waited on this story since I first met Hopper and his RICO agent， and wow。 I’m impressed。 Once again， the scenes are fire and ultra-original。 I’m in love with the way Hopper loves， and watching Liam fall in love back was everything。 Again， like Fox’s other series， most notable the Rebel Sky series， this isn’t just the love I Want My Own Hopper NowIf Hallmark did dark comedy with super original dialogue and story lines， they’d have done this。 But they didn’t because they’re not Kelly Fox。 I have waited on this story since I first met Hopper and his RICO agent， and wow。 I’m impressed。 Once again， the scenes are fire and ultra-original。 I’m in love with the way Hopper loves， and watching Liam fall in love back was everything。 Again， like Fox’s other series， most notable the Rebel Sky series， this isn’t just the love between the two main characters。 This book is about Hopper and Liam and all the billionaires and mobsters and support crew have for each other。 They are ALL willing to go to war for their loved ones。 There’s romantic love， brotherly love， friend love， and found family love。 And it is all precious。 Never change， Fox。 Never change。 。。。more

The relationship between enforcer Hopper and Liam， his RICO agent， has been teased from the beginning of this fantastic series， and the final reveal of the full arc did not disappoint。 A lot of the set-up for how Liam becomes an inextricable part of this found family also occurs in previous books， which allows Fox to hit readers right in the feels with the inciting incident we knew was coming—the family death that precipitates Liam’s （unwilling） transformation from FBI agent to billionaire。Fox’s The relationship between enforcer Hopper and Liam， his RICO agent， has been teased from the beginning of this fantastic series， and the final reveal of the full arc did not disappoint。 A lot of the set-up for how Liam becomes an inextricable part of this found family also occurs in previous books， which allows Fox to hit readers right in the feels with the inciting incident we knew was coming—the family death that precipitates Liam’s （unwilling） transformation from FBI agent to billionaire。Fox’s always-fantastic characterization work means that these men， who shouldn’t fit together on the surface， instead have matching jagged edges that soothe each other。 Some literal murder swoon cements their bond， and readers who thought book 1 was kinky are in for a wild ride here。With Hopper， Fox deftly created a “crazy” character distinct from a previous fan favorite。 His point-of-view scenes are an absolute delight and do well to balance the angst of Liam’s personal life， even though I certainly feel for his plight。 I also adored how Liam expresses his hard feelings and never berates himself for them， which is a refreshing perspective from a traditionally “alpha male” character， especially one in law enforcement。 Hopper， however， just knows that Liam is his person and that he wants his person to feel better。What follows is a strange courtship that I nevertheless embraced as perfect for these characters。 I appreciated the excellent discussions of consent in various contexts， including the nonsexual ones that are equally important。 Fox folds their relationship and dynamics with other series characters into the context of the external plot while also highlighting an overarching theme of this series， the true meaning of brotherhood。 Whether this is the official conclusion to this series or not is unclear， but we get everything we’ve come to love and expect from her wonderful storytelling， with a few delightful cameos as an added treat。Disclaimer: I received a digital review copy of this book from the author。 。。。more

I have literally been anticipating this story since Hopper first walked onto a page。 Liam was a perfect target for Hopper。 Hopper might be working on learning some boundaries， but the lesson is failing where Liam is concerned。 Hopper is very open about the trauma he has lived through， and is surprisingly well-adjusted （for a serial killer， anyway） with how he is living his life。 The story， as always， is fun to read， and well-written。 The plot is easy to follow， and involves all our previous Mobs I have literally been anticipating this story since Hopper first walked onto a page。 Liam was a perfect target for Hopper。 Hopper might be working on learning some boundaries， but the lesson is failing where Liam is concerned。 Hopper is very open about the trauma he has lived through， and is surprisingly well-adjusted （for a serial killer， anyway） with how he is living his life。 The story， as always， is fun to read， and well-written。 The plot is easy to follow， and involves all our previous Mobsters and Billionaires， so please read the series in order。 As usual， Ms Fox has nailed this story， and I'm almost sad to think that the next book may not measure up to Hopper and Liam's evolution。 。。。more
