Publisher's summary

Watch out for the Assassin’s Claws....

Dearil Moreno is a paid killer, just like his four brothers. It’s the family business - they fight together, they die together. Whether they’re working as a group or alone, they are a tight unit of people who protect their own. When the brothers learn a contract is available to assassinate a priest - a good man known to their family as someone who works with the underground to rescue omegas - they accept it with the intention of doing the exact opposite of what they’ve been hired to do.

Dearil is the brother known for two things...his sassy wardrobe and even sassier sense of snark. A true ginger, this omega isn’t afraid of anyone and has the attitude to prove it. When he agrees to take this mission, the last thing Dear expects is to discover the priest is also his true mate.

Father Nathaniel Clarence is about to retire from his parish on the island nation of Aurelia. He’s stunned when he scents his true mate during his final church service. The discovery that his mate is a hired killer here to rescue him is an interesting twist, but the one thing Nathaniel has in abundance is faith that everything will work out as it’s meant to.

Before the alpha will truly be safe, the Moreno brothers need to find out who hired them in the first place. As they travel across Europe in search of the truth, a 33-year-old mystery is solved, and the two men find that home really is where the heart is...and the fates don’t make mistakes. Not even when they pair a priest with an assassin.

This novella is the third book in the Assassin’s Claws series. Note: While mpreg exists in this world, we won’t have a birth in every book. This book contains killer cats, ninja bunnies, and a snarky omega who has no idea how to pray. Get ready for naughty-knotty fun and low-ball humor as only Susi Hawke can provide.

I found my god in you


Another delectable delight from our Susi Hawke! I really love her sassy omegas and protective alphas. They are like crack that is so addicting!

Dearil is a bad-ass omega assassin who has a questionable taste in wardrobe and a head full of firey ginger hair. As an omega and a paid-killer, he has to be tougher and stronger than others. When he met his true mate in a priest Alpha, it was totally unexpected. One atheist omega and one Angelica priest Alpha, what will their future behold?

Sassy, funny, quick-witted and charming! Just like any other Susi Hawke books. This was really fun and full of thrill. And I loved the instant attraction between Dearil and Nathanial. Drew Becca also did a great job with his narration. I really enjoyed it.

Save the Omegas

This is a fun, sweet action packed story with true mates and a good cause! Assassin families rally to save Omegas being sold into forced marriages. It’s a light-hearted story filled with family and love. I like this narrator much better than the previous one, however the narration of the next two books in the series is by far my favorite.

Short and Sweet

Not your normal assassins, this family of assassins likes to help and protect the good guys. I enjoyed Dearil's fun personality and to find his mate, Nathanial, is the exact opposite of an assassins' brought a great development to the story. The family dynamic is something I love throughout this series.

Dearil and Nathaniel

I laughed out loud and enjoyed the lively banter in this terrific addition to the Assassin's Claws series. While you can read this as a stand-alone, I would highly recommend reading the series in order to get the most out of it. Dearil is sassy and full of snark but he also impressed me; for an assassin, he's highly moral. He believes that God and the fates are laughing by giving his atheist soul a newly retired priest as a true-mate. Nathaniel may be devout in his faith but made me smirk at his belief that his parents' forgiveness would have to come from God because it would never come from him after they sold his brother into a contract marriage. There's a good bit of action but it's really the interactions between the characters that hold the spotlight.
Highly recommended author

Audiobook: I had a bit of trouble personally with the narrator at the beginning of the book as a few of the characters sounded alike to me. Once I got further into the story it was okay.

Yay!! Book 3 is here!!

I love Dear and Nathaniel! I have been awaiting Dear’s book and story but getting to see Nate’s story and how they connect is wonderful and sweet. It’s great to get more background and see more to the story that’s developing throughout the Assasins Claws series. Drew Bacca does an amazing job of bringing this to life and giving the best voices to the characters

A rescued mate

When Dare accompanied his brother and his Prince mate back to his royal home, the mission they are on is an unique one. What Dare didn't expect to find, is a mate of his own.

Spending years of life being dedicated to God and saving omegas in need Nate is surprised to finally find an omega of his own.
But, with mysteries surrounding them and missing family to be traced, will this retiring alpha priest and his sassy fashion conscious omega find their own happily ever after.

This was a story packed with humor, some action, emotion and found family.
The narrarion was good. An enjoyable listen.

love this!!!!

Kick Back is the third book in the Assassin’s Claws series by Susi Hawke. This is a kick@$$ take filled with ninja bunny shifters, assassin feline shifters, and a retired shifter priest who has a price on his head. This series is extremely fun and entertaining, this book no exception. Dearil and Nathaniel are amazing characters - I love that immediate connection of fated mates but with the humor that comes with Susi Hawke stories. Funny, sweet, sexy and exciting. Loved it!

Drew Bacca is a fantastic Narrator for this story.  The characters' personalitis come out and the listener can hear their emotion and personality through the voice performance.  The recording sounded clean and clear.  Very enjoyable.

An action packed omegaverse opposites attract!

This is book 3 in the Assassins Claws series and can be listened to as a standalone.

An Assassin and a priest! I absolutely loved this opposites attract, sassy, omegaverse romance.

Dearil and Nathaniel came together so beautifully and I loved the chemistry between them.

This was a fast paced, action packed listen.
Drew Bacca's audio delivery was amazing in this one.
