3.5

3.5 ⭐️ So I struggled with this one, it was for me an incredibly slow burn until the last couple of chapters. Yes, the first 3/4’s are smut filled, as they are yes, you guessed it snowed in, in a cabin. There is a bit of angst with the ex-boyfriend and a prisoner 🤨 

Mostly, it’s smut with three hitmen all in various positions, places etc. the use of Christmas lights, garland and decorations not just for fun times, they do come in handy when they are invaded by an army of men, though I’m still perplexed as to why not one hitman thought to pick up all the discarded weapons to utilise…meh! Seriously, I think it was done just to be amusing with what they could pick up 🤭

They do rescue the kidnapped girl whom we are told about at the very beginning of the book, there are a few little amusing parts and there is an HEA for the FMC and her three men. All in all for me it was long and drawn out to get to a conclusion that was predictable but still it’s a Christmas book 🎄🖤
