Casper VanHorne

A Bad Boy Romance, Book 5

De: Harley Wylde

Narrado por: Umi Markkanen

Casper VanHorne

I’d found and lost my one and only. I never thought I’d get another chance at love. Making Carmella Juarez my wife was the only way to save my daughter, but I never intended to stay married.

A decade has passed, ten years that I’ve kept my distance, but now it’s time to set things right and free both of us.

I never counted on finding her sick and nearly dying. Didn’t count on falling for her as I nursed her back to health, either. But it’s the Christmas season and what better time for miracles?

My heart isn’t as cold and dead as I’d once thought. Carmella has brought me back to life, and now that I’ve had a taste of the tempting woman who wears my ring, I know that I can’t ever let her go.

Publisher's Note: Once upon a time, there was a supporting cast member (known as Casper VanHorne) in an MC Romance world who was not part of any MC. Casper was simply a background player who caught too much attention (For a top rated international assassin, any attention is too much attention).

Eventually Casper met his match in a book titled Naughty or Nice. Apparently that wasn’t enough to satisfy Casper VanHorne. Since his author can’t very well rewrite Casper’s story, we now offer a 2nd Edition as Casper VanHorne. The title and cover have been updated. No content changes.

Very short. Very sweet. Very spicy.

This book is short and sweet and very spicy. I didn't really fall for Casper. After all he is an assassin. And he left his forced wife alone for 10 years! Humpf!

The narrator, Umi Markkanen, is one of my favorites. She has a pleasant voice with great emotion. She plays the parts very well. I like her male voices too. 5 stars for her.

The elusive assassin!

Casper Van Horne is an enigma. He's a man who quietly lurks in the shadows and nobody knows exactly what he does, but he works closely with Dixie Reapers MC delivering girls and women in danger. He rescued Carmella and made her his wife, in name only, because he had promised his daughter that he wouldn't marry again because her mother was the love of his life. For ten years, Casper has left her alone, thinking that she was better off without the elusive assassin. But when Carmella's life is in danger from a benign tumor on her brain, Casper returns to help her face the surgery. As he realizes what he left behind in this sweet, wonderful woman, he can't help but think that he made a monumental mistake. I really liked that the reader finally got the story of the man who has been a side character throughout the series.I always expect excellence from Umi Markkanen and in Casper Van Horne, she once again delivered. 

Kind of Bittersweet

But mostly sweet. I loved these characters and the whole story it was a bit sad but then sweet and a little fun towards the end. Narration was great.

Loved it

I feel like this is a complete wrap up of everything involving him. I’ve always wanted to read his book and I listen to it on Kindle but nothing beats your narrator voice. I truly love your books. I love that Casper is fine love again and definitely that Camilla isgetting her one. True love Ish. Can’t wait to hear from Spectre and the other assassins.

Welcome Home, Casper!!!

I loved this side character.

Casper honestly thought he was protecting Carmella by marrying her and not being around. What an eye opened her got when he came back ten years later and she wanted - HIM!!!!

Umi as always does a splendid job of being true emotions to the characters and immersing you in the story.
