F**k, Marry, Kill Me, Daddy
By Lance Lansdale
Murder Daddy, Book 1
SCOTTY
My boyfriend’s been trying to kill me for weeks. Well, I guess he’s my boyfriend. I mean, we’ve never officially been introduced, but he’s always standing in the shadows, watching me. That has to be a good sign, right? The first time I saw him, he was hunched down in my bushes, aiming a rifle at my heart, and he’s turned up with a new weapon every night since. As fun as our silly little game of Murder Daddy may be, I’m getting tired of having to steal my stalker-slash-boyfriend’s affection by disarming him and using his weapons against him.
BRODY
I’ve got to get my head in the game. As my agency’s top assassin, I’ve killed my fair share of men. When Senator Levinson placed his son on my hitlist, I figured it would be a one-and-done. I was wrong. Every time our paths cross, he winds up getting the upper hand. The things he makes me do once he’s pried a gun or a knife out of my hand are downright depraved, and for some reason, I can’t bring myself to stop it from happening. My wife tells me I need to just suck it up and get the job done. My wife’s boyfriend says I’m sweet on the guy, which is absolutely ridiculous. Even if I wanted to take advantage of our open marriage, I’m not gay. This man—this Freakshow—is completely unhinged, and the worst part is, I think I might be just as crazy as him.
F**ck, Marry, Kill Me, Daddy is a high-heat, over-the-top, absolutely UNHINGED, dual-POV, dark romcom that is equal parts insta-love and insta-lust. While one character is married, their marriage is open, and there’s no cheating between them.

Excerpt:
No matter where I go, he’s there. Waiting. Observing. Others might call it stalking. I just think he’s being adorable.
I’m not exactly sure when he started following me, but the first time I noticed him was three weeks ago. I was sitting on my apartment’s balcony, wanting a bit of fresh air after a week of self-imposed seclusion. I couldn’t have been out there longer than five minutes before the red dot appeared in the center of my chest. When I looked down over the railing, the apartment complex’s floodlight lit him up just for me. He was hiding in the bushes, pointing a rifle at me. Our eyes locked, and we just stood there for a solid five minutes, neither of us making a move. It had been such a long time since anyone had looked at me like that. It was like a million little shockwaves coursing through my body.
My impending death aside, there had been a gentleness in the moment. A connection of sorts. I must have frightened him when I waved, because he stumbled, falling on his back and sending a bullet into the sky. I’m not sure why he ran off into the dead of night, but it gave me a delightful view of his ass. The thought of topping had never even crossed my mind, what with my small stature and constant desire to be coddled, but I don’t know. I might make an exception for this guy.
The next time I spotted him, he was hiding under my car with wire cutters, fast at work. I thought he was trying to be a good Samaritan by changing my oil. Being a twinkish procrastinator, I know nothing of cars, and it had been over three years since I’d taken it to the mechanic. I mean, it’s not that big of a deal. I just pour a little oil into the hole thingy, under the hood when it starts making rattling noises, and it’s good as gold. Still, it was nice to have someone looking out for me. It’s been a long time since anyone has. For his chivalry, I figured the least I could do was kiss his hand like a distressed damsel to his knight. I knelt down to thank him, but he startled, dropping the wire cutters. When I picked them up and tried to hand them back, his beautiful brown eyes practically bulged out of his head, and he scurried away like a cheeky scamp.
I’m pretty sure he’s obsessed with me, but I think I’ve high-key wanted that all my life.

3.75 Stars!
So, here’s the thing, I’ve been wavering on how to rate this book ever since I finished it.
On one hand, I really enjoyed the first half, then it got a bit repetitive, only to pick up again in the end. Also, you need to suspend disbelief and just go with it, it’s OTT, and if you get annoyed easily by MCs who cry at the drop of a hat every other page, this might not be the book for you.
Scotty is adorkable and kind of deranged, as in he starts crushing on the guy who’s been stalking him to kill him and he somehow decides Brody is there because he’s in love with Scotty. Not only that but he somehow manages to thwart Brody’s attempts every time and turn the tables on him, which to be honest, was hilarious. Brody has no clue what to make of Scotty, but he ends up giving in to every one of Scotty’s advances, even if up to that point, he had no clue he was attracted to men. Brody is in an open marriage, even if he hadn’t taken advantage of said openness until he met Scotty and he really doesn’t have a physical relationship with his wife.
I’m intrigued by Abi, Brodie’s BFF and his wife’s BF, and Tatum, Scotty’s BFF, who seemed to be heading towards their own crazy relationship and I can admit I’m totally up for it. LOL
This book was an experience, I enjoyed it even if the book has some issues, and I would read more in the series, so if you’re into deranged boys who are more dominant than their hitman Daddies, with a ton of spice and some very fun situations, this is the book for you.
