Himbo Hitman: A Delightful Whirlwind of Love and Lunacy
When I first stumbled upon Himbo Hitman by Saxon James, I had to admit I was intrigued by the title alone. A love story intertwined with assassination? It sounded like a recipe for pure chaos—and I was here for it. What I didn’t expect was the sheer joy and hilarity that wrapped around my heart like a warm embrace. This book made me so happy! It’s unlike anything I’ve read from James before, showcasing her skill in branching out into something refreshingly new and delightfully unserious.
From the opening lines, we meet Perry, our lovable disaster of a protagonist, who finds himself in a wildly absurd situation. His thought process is an absolute joyride, punctuated by impulsive decisions that, somehow, always work out in his favor. I was immediately smitten by Perry’s puppy-like charm and innate ability to make light of a heavy situation. How could one not fall in love with a character who quips about self-destructive flirting with his intended target? Perry embodies the spirit of a “himbo” in every way—endearing, funny, and irresistibly chaotic.
His counterpart, St. Clare, serves as a perfect foil. Calm yet endearingly chaotic, he balances Perry’s whirlwind personality beautifully. Their relationship is a dance of emotion and humor, reflecting the deep affection that crescendos between the lines. One moment of dialogue that struck me was when St. Clare expresses his desire to tie their hearts into little knots—an innocent yet profound depiction of closeness that resonated deeply. It beautifully encapsulates the yearning for connection that many of us can relate to.
James crafts their banter effortlessly, providing a canvas that allows both characters to shine. Lines like, “Silver linings and all that?” followed by humorous jabs about their relationship dynamics, had me chuckling aloud. Every playful exchange revealed their growing fondness, making their love story feel not only genuine but also refreshingly real in its eccentricity.
The plot, while filled with danger and suspense, is presented with a light-hearted flair that makes this story anything but a typical crime thriller. I found myself on the edge of my seat, constantly questioning the motivations of the supporting characters—the “Baddie bunch” provided a delightful mix of uncertainty and humor. The pacing was brisk, allowing me to devour each chapter as I raced to uncover what would happen next.
Ultimately, Himbo Hitman is a testament to love’s absurdity and chaos. It left me grinning from ear to ear and wishing for more adventures with Perry and St. Clare—who, to be honest, feel like the kind of friends I’d want in my life. The book feels like a standalone but leaves me desperately hoping for a sequel because I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters.
If you enjoy witty banter, chaotic love stories, and a side of humor with your romance, then I wholeheartedly recommend Himbo Hitman. This book isn’t just a read; it’s a joyful escape into a world where love, laughter, and unexpected twists reign supreme. And trust me, you’ll want to experience Perry and St. Clare’s love story that hits all the right notes. It was love at first shot, indeed!
