The four rules of freelance villainy are as follows:

1. Always wear a mask

2. Never hurt civilians

3. Never kill the heroes you’re paid to fight.

4. And the bad guy always loses.

And even with the rules, there's plenty of challenges to being a villain or hire. Belligerent heroes. Rival villains. Taxes. But one thing I never imagined I’d be handling was finding out I'd gotten one of my gorgeous villainess lovers pregnant.

Which comes at not a great time, seeing as how I'd just offed one of the biggest villains in the world. Now his seat in the Guild of Villainous Foes up for grabs, and every bad guy with a death ray and an ego is crawling out of the woodwork to try and take it. Which means there aren’t a lot of heroes looking to hire a costumed punching bag.

But even worse is that everyone expects ME to be cooking up an evil scheme to end all evil schemes! Because if I don't, the consequences will be dire. And I'm not even getting paid for it! All of which leaves me with only one option: fail harder than I’ve ever failed before.

Unfortunately for me, not even losing is going to be easy this time.

Villain for Hire is a hilarious adventure through the world of heroes, superpowers, love, and villainy. With mad schemes, hammy bad guys, psychically compelling yandere villainesses, and mad AI, this men's adventure is sure to delight.

Victor is one of my favorite characters. An awesome balance of self deprecation and observational humor built into a pretty powerful villain who doesn’t like being thought of as a true villain type. His girls are in themselves great ladies who know the score and work best to be supporting characters and kick ass ladies to boot.

Jay really gets this world and makes it a wonderful blend of goofy standard tropes mixed in with a dash of Venture Brothers. I can’t wait for more and it hasn’t slowed down.

Another great chapter

We get the Council paying then a visit. Baby's and jealousy. The comedy is the same crazy shenanigans. We get a few moral and emotional moments. The spice is fantastic 👌. This is easily one of my favorite series l. Im really hoping Olympia and the magic girl join him.

The Mighty Magneron and his girls get into so much.

Another fun installment in the series, with a creative plot and entertaining characters.
I will note that in some places it feels like editing (of the original text) could have been better, and plot-wise it feels like there are a few things dangling (last book the protagonist hired some new villains - who are completely unmentioned in this book, for example). But on the whole it's highly entertaining. Having a femsub BDSM scene also sets this book apart in a good way, but it's not just that - it's a legitimately entertaining and funny book.

Fun and creative

I really like this series but I wished the book was longer.
it also needs more spicy scenes with more description.

great series!
