Plain Jane and the Hitman (Plain Jane Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

A LOVE STORY WITH A BODY COUNT


A LOVE STORY WITH A BODY COUNT

Emmet Streeter lives by a single rule—don’t get involved. Trained to kill, not protect, he has built a career on keeping his heart as cold as his trigger finger. But when his mentor’s secret daughter lands on a hit list, he’s forced into the one job he swore he’d never take—babysitting.

Bailey Monroe is chaos in heels. Loudmouthed, reckless, and impossible to ignore, she’s the trouble Emmet doesn’t need and can’t stay away from. She’s also the daughter of a hitman—the man who trained Emmet and ruined her life.
He’s everything she hates: cold-eyed, disciplined, lethal. Yet his touch feels like salvation, and every look between them burns hotter than the danger closing in.

As bullets fly and loyalties shatter, the line between protector and predator disappears. To survive, Bailey must trust the one man built to destroy her—and follow him straight into hell to save the father who never loved her from the monster who intends to finish what he started.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

I love creating character of every color. My characters come to me fully formed whether they are black or white. Love transcends race. Some of my romance novels are interracial stories. Most of my Plain Jane Series falls into that category. I hope you give all my love stories, contemporary and paranormal, a chance.

Hello Readers,

I love creating characters of every color. My characters come to me fully formed, whether they are black or white. Love transcends race. Some of my romance novels are interracial stories. Most of my Plain Jane Series falls into that category. I hope you give all my love stories, contemporary and paranormal, a chance.

I'm hooked on anything Star Trek, House of Dragons, Yellowstone, and Stranger Things. I can't get enough of these shows!

I was born in St. Thomas USVI, but grew up in The Bronx, New York, one mile from Yankee Stadium. I love SyFy, the History channels, and Asian cuisine. But my heart and stomach longs for anything from the Caribbean.

    I absolutely LOVED this book. Great action scenes. Drama blended well. AWESOME storyline. Perfect match with a few twists. I don't usually comment a review but this one was GENUINELY WORTH IT.
    What it's about:
    Daughter of a hitman with covert upbringing after her mother died when she's young. Hitman dad tried to keep her a secret and safe but pushed her away making her feel abandoned and neglected. Bad guy is a hitman gone mental over a ho operative that tried to play dad and bad guy and she ended up dead which bad guy thought was the love of his life, thus the need for REVENGE on hitman dad. Bad guy finds out about daughter and tries to get her to make dad suffer before he kills them both. Dad sent his protege, and unofficial "son", to keep daughter safe. Protege falls HARD for hitman's daughter and she falls for him, too. Add in some drama, steamy bedroom scenes, and great action....voila! Made a very good read.

    This is Book 1 in the Plain Jane Series and my first read by this author. And I must say that I quite liked the storyline and the characters. It is a suspenseful romance between hitman Emmet and his mentor's daughter Bailey. These very different but likeable souls and the unique plot make for an intriguing read. What starts out as an assignment turns into something more. It is a wild ride with drama, action, humor, steam, twists and turns, plus appealing secondary characters to keep the reader interested. An engaging page turner with a happy for now ending.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this story; it was full of surprises
    Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I found myself surprised by how much I liked this book. But then the main characters (Jane, Emmett, and Hank) were complex people who were written with great depth. It also had plenty of action, emotions, and betrayals. Yes, there is some sexual heat and also the violence that is mentioned in the Book Information. Still, it's the people and the "romance" that kept me reading. How was everything going to turn out?
    Jane has to be one of my favorite kind of main characters. She was sassy, smart, tough, but also loyal, caring, and somewhat unpredictable in her approach. Oh, and some funny times as well with that sassy mouth.
    Emmett had quite the past, which I won't reveal here. Let the reader discover it like I did. It was quite interesting as was the man himself.
    Hank, now there was a hard to figure out man when you put aside his murderous career. But he added so much to the story, being unpredictable in his actions and reasoning too.
    A dramatic series of actions towards the end following through on the intensity of the whole story. I liked how it ended.
    There was also a quick look into two other books by this author. "Plain Jane & the Billionaire" and "Plain Jane & the Bad Boy". Both of those looked interesting to me too.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! But needs editing.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    I think this might be my favorite Plain Jane book to date.
    I love the characters and the world Tmonique has created for them to play in.
    Yes, these are unusual romances because each of the men are major league bad guys.
    Well, maybe not Julius, but he is a part of the brotherhood.
    In this book the bd boys could actually be good guys it just depends on what side your on.
    I like to think of them as good. The lucky lady is just as tough as the guys and makes for a very interesting story.
    I can't wait to read the rest in this series.
    Happy reading :-)

    PS love the cover design for this series, Great Job!

    I'm adding an update to my review. Everything I wrote about the book still stands. The update is for the rating. I'm deducting 2 stars for the lack of editing. I really love the Plain Jane stories, but I yet to read one that wasn't riddled with errors. So, even though the story is 5 stars the editing is only 1 star. I split the difference and gave it 3 stars.

    "Plain Jane and the Hit Man" is book one in the series "Plain Jane" by Tmonique Stephens. I have one word for this book, and it is fantastic. I couldn't quite read it fast enough. I was in it for the action and the pace of the book. I have never read anything by this author before, but I can definitely say that I will be reading more in this series and more by this author. The descriptions in this book were amazing, and I couldn't help but fall in love with Bailey, Emmet, and Hank. My favorite scene was the hospital scene.

    This book was filled with a crazy action-packed storyline. A bodyguard raised as a son, sent to protect the secret daughter of his mentor only to fall madly in love with her. Filled with deceit, secrets & lots of daddy issues, this book ends on a cliffhanger, leaving you begging for more!

    This is the first book in the Plain Jane Series; Bailey hates everything about her father, she knows she wasn’t wanted to begin with; now a madman is out to destroy him and kill them all so Emmet has been sent to protect her.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This was a good read. There was plenty of action and the plot was good.

    Emmet had a terrible childhood and hitman Hank saved him and trained him to be a mini Hank. Hank is a hard man with too many bad memories and too many regrets. Emmet is a man with no regrets and don’t mind being an operative.

    Hank finds himself in a situation that he never thought that he would be in. As a result he has to reveal to Emmet a secret that he has kept under wraps for years. Emmet is then charged to protect his secret.

    Hank’s secret is a lot more work than Emmet bargained for. A lot of situations go wrong and a lot of things that go bang happen and…Who will survive when the dust settles?

    I haven't read this author before so I went in completely blind and not knowing what to expect. This book was action packed and a very enjoyable read. I liked all the side characters who I assume already have their own books as there are quite a few books in this series.

    I really want to know how Bailey & Emmett's story ends due to the epilogue, so I may skip a few books to get back to their story.
