Hit Man Sam by Morgen Bailey @morgenwriteruk @botbspublicity #bookreview #hitmansam

Happy hump day!

Excited to share my review for this little gem! Thanks so much Sarah for my invitation to the tour!🥰

My Thoughts

This was my very first “Lad Lit“ book. What is Lad Let you may ask? Well it is pretty much the male counterpart to Chick Lit. So this book was pretty much about Becky Bloomwood trying to become a hitman, except Becky is a man named Sam. Sam is a 27-year-old man living in the UK. He just got out of a relationship and is pretty much bumbling his way through life. When he sees an ad for hitman school he thinks it is a good idea (for some reason). So look out James Bond here comes Sam!

This book was in a word FUN! Sam was a great character definitely made me laugh more than once. The story is told in short chapters that really kept the story moving. There is a large cast of intriguing characters and multiple threads that are skillfully woven together by the author. This is the perfect little book to brighten your afternoon. It will make you smile, it will make you laugh, and it will make you want to be a hitman (OK probably not make you want to be a hitman😉).

About the Book

Having been made redundant as a photocopier software designer, Sam Simpson is lured by a cryptic advert. As he learns it is for a trainee hitman, will he be tough enough to see the job through? Even James Bond had to start somewhere and Sam, as his alias Josh Bradley, looks forward to enjoying James’ lifestyle, although soon embroiled in a love triangle, Sam hadn’t expected things to get so complicated so quickly.
