A killer with a white picket fence.

Suburbia, a great place for a man with secrets to hide—while investing in some solid real estate. The biggest drawback?
Neighbors.
In this case, a neighbor with sexy curves and a bright smile. Good thing she’s not his type. Single moms with annoying exes are on the do-not-date list.
Stay away.
Calvin wants to; it’s just not happening. He can’t help but find himself drawn to the chaos next door. And when danger threatens his suburban lifestyle, this assassin doesn’t hesitate to act. Killing people is easy. Domestication, on the other hand...

Hello, my name is Eve and I am a Canadian author who loves to write hot romance, usually with hot shifters, cyborgs or aliens. I should warn you that I possess a twisted imagination and a sarcastic sense of humor something I like to let loose in my writing.

I love to write, and while I don't always know what my mind is going to come up with next, I can promise it will be fun, probably humorous and most of all romantic, because I love a happily ever after.

Thanks so much for coming by and checking me out.

Happy reading!

Eve Langlais

Assassin finds love

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022

I really liked this story. I found myself laughing at Calvin’s dialogue. He is a gun for hire, working with a group of men under the guise of an international real estate company. You find out that they all were troubled teens that ended up at a school called the academy that trained them to be killers. He lives in the suburbs to hid his cover.
Lily and her daughter Zoe rent the house next door to Calvin. Lily’s ex husband abused her and is a constant threat and annoyance. On the first day at their new house Lily can’t seem to find Zoe. A knock on the door brings the gorgeous neighbor and her 4yr old daughter. Calvin isn’t very nice, as he’s annoyed her daughter wandered in his yard. This starts their attraction of looking out the window to catch a glimpse of each other. He ends up being very nice to her and helping her out numerous times. She’s letting her guard down and accepts a date with him. He hasn’t lied to her. He told her he was an assassin and needed her to pretend to be his gf as cover as he scopes out the restaurant. She of coarse thinks he’s kidding.
I enjoyed their love story. Calvin is funny, good at his job, and has found a life full of love he never thought existed.
The story is full of action. It kept me reading till the end. I’m excited to see whose story is next.

TRUTH OR WILD IMAGINATION???

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

This was a good read. Lily moves in next door to Calvin, along with her daughter (Zoe). Lily is set on making a fresh start, after a divorce from an abusive man.

Upon arriving at their new home, Zoe sees Calvin’s yard and admires it, along with his spiffy car. Calvin is just opposed to children and orders Zoe home. Zoe has other ideas. Her cute lisp and her way of wrapping men around her finger, has Calvin taking her back to her mother. Calvin thinks that he’s going to giving Lily a tongue lashing, for allowing her daughter to stray. However, the moment he meets Lily…He has other ideals.

Slowly and over time, Calvin wears away at Lily’s wall of defense and he falls more and more for her and Zoe. He begins to see that he can have a family and it becomes his desire to have just that.

However, there is a big issue standing in the way…Lily’s ex-husband (Brock). Calvin enjoys making life for Brock as miserable as he can. Brock is determined that no one will have his ex-wife and is determined to set Calvin straight.

Lily simply wants a safe life and she wants Calvin in it. But, can she have that life, with Calvin and his over active imagination and his lifestyle???

I loved the wit and banter in this book!

Take a spy/black ops movie and toss in the comedy...

I love this one. Totally hilarious! It’s not like he lies to her about his job. A little bit of a Jason Statham movie mixed with a Batman-type “Gotham City” underbelly and a few dashes of “True Lies”, this book is a great read. It’s got some spicy scenes and some true badassery in taking down the bad guys. The ex even manages to redeem himself.

Think “Red” and “Red 2”, before retirement and with the other elements above. All movies, sure, but this book sort of rolls itself out like a movie in my head.

(Note: maybe I’m alone in that, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’m alone in how I see things, won’t be the last. Also, I can’t say how anyone else sees something as my experiences are my own and therefore I don’t know those of others as they do.)

Totally a great read from Ms. Langlais! Only wish I’d had time to sit and read it without interruptions. But, adulting is a time-suck.

Clever storyline. Funny banter between assassin and his new neighbor. Plenty of action with some suspense. Entertaining read. Promising series with an interesting cast of characters.

Loved the Story and the Romance!

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2019

I wasn't sure at first that I was going to love this book, at least from the way it started out. It seemed a bit stereotypical and cliche. But a couple of chapter in, and I was in LOVE! The Hero was a fantastic guy--I loved the fact that he wasn't immediately into the heroine, and he honestly didn't want to be into her ever. It made it interesting when he ended up falling for her, despite what he wanted. (Not actually a spoiler, we see that from the start.)

The plotline was great. It took a bit to build up, but once you figured out what was going on, it all fell into place. I also love how the author set us up for the next books, which are must reads. This is now one of my favorite romance authors. I am a sucker for assassins and spies! :D

I really enjoyed the storyline, I was impressed by how realistic the characters were. Especially since the odds of living next door to an assassin are very low!

I'm a huge fan of Eve Langlais and I really love her books. I own all of her Kodiak Point books, Furry United, Dragon Point and Welcome to Hell books. So it was the first time I read her 'normal' genre type of books. And truth to be told usually I'm not into this kind of stories. But the line 'a killer with a white picket fence' got me interested.
I thought: "Well, why not?"

And I wasn't disappointed! The story was very good. A single mom with a lot of problems moves in next to an assassin. They didn't hook up immediately. That was kind of refreshing. Poor little Calvin.
The author showed her sassy style even in this book, so it was fun to read.

But I thought the humor could have been a little bit more present.
And Calvins measures to keep his love-interest safe and in his sight...-well, I hope it was the original plan- was a liiiittle extreme. And her reaction? Kind of disappointing...KICK HIM!!!
The loves scenes are short and not to present in this book. So fear not. It's not a 1/3 porn book like some other authors sell it. It has a solid story and a heartwarming scene. But I really would have loved a little more interactions between Calvin and Zoe. I hope I can read a little bit about them in the next books.

Well, overall it was a good start into a new book-series and I already ordered book 2 and 3. I would recommend this book to everyone who likes a little bit humor and action in a book and doesn't analyses every move that the assassin does...cause some of his actions? It's like he is asking for a fist into his face!
