Publisher's summary

Two contract killers, each with a hit out on the other, must fight their growing attraction as they face off in an epic game of lust and murder across Western Europe.

When Eva and Jonathan hook up on the sleeper train from Florence to Paris, they think they’ll never see each other again. Which is too bad, because neither has ever felt a spark like this for another person. But love isn’t on the agenda in their line of work.

Six months later, they run into each other in the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. This encounter is not by chance, because Eva has been hired to kill Jonathan. She’s a contract killer, but what she doesn’t know is that he is too.

Their meeting kicks off a high-stakes adventure across Western Europe. There will be tourism. There will be bodies. Eva and Jonathan might even fall for each other.

As the two get closer to completing their assignments, it becomes clear that they are also being hunted—by something even more dangerous than love. . . .

Critic reviews

“If you’re the kind of reader who enjoys unique romance novels with an edge, a whole lot of unpredictable twists, and the idea of a seasoned assassins traveling across Europe and falling for the person they’re supposed to kill, this is the book for you! A humorously dark, upsettingly sexy, unique love story about the horrors and delights of being seen as who we really are—with lots of swords and plenty of smut!”—Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically

"Seductively tense and scandalously hot! It Had To Be You swept me into a star-crossed, hopelessly romantic game of cat and mouse, and I loved every twisted minute of it."—Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author of Finlay Donovan Is Killing It

"Twisty-turny, slyly funny, and hot as hell—It Had to Be You by Eliza Jane Brazier had me on the edge of my seat. The writing is as sharp as an assassin's blade, the chemistry between the two rival contract killers absolutely explosive. I had no idea what was about to happen next but I knew I was along for the ride!"—Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

Dumb

This was the dumbest book I’ve ever read. Ridiculous premise, weak dialogue, predictable, contrived and boring beyond belief. The vocal acting was overdone. Why I kept listening to it hoping it would get better was stupid on my part. I wish I could get my money back
