Becoming the Hitman (Zanetti Famiglia Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 203 ratings

When life hits, it holds nothing back. Renzo Pagano knows just how hard life’s punch can slam against you and just how deep the wounds can embed themselves inside of your soul.

Ten years ago all Siobahn Doyle was normal. Then she wasn’t or at least her life wasn’t. Everything changed in an instant. Her beloved sister disappeared without a trace.

A stranger’s touch. A kiss. A sensation she’s never felt before. Siobahn takes a chance one night with a handsome American—a possibly too handsome American. Their actions, their attraction, it changes the course of their lives completely.

This hitman who hasn’t felt kindness’ touch since he was a boy falls for the innocent Siobahn. She is everything he knows he doesn’t deserve, and yet, he’s going to bind her to him and keep her for himself. That is… if he can keep her safe.

*INCLUDES A SHORT STORY: BECOMING HIS BRIDE

Becoming the Hitman is book 5 in the Zanetti Famiglia series. Although this book can technically be read as a stand-alone I would personally read the others just so you can know all the other characters that pop into this book and their story. Renzo is the hitman for the Zanetti Crime Family. He heads out to Ireland to do a job for his boss Gavino. He is there to get intel on a shady business associate and take him out if the claims are true. Siobhan is a good girl that lives with her mom, dad and sister until tragedy hits and her sister goes missing. It seems she has been taken. Shortly after that her mother dies and her father becomes a drunk. Jump 10 years ahead to present time and Siobhan is still on her mission to find out what happened to her sister. And this is where Renzo and Siobhans lives collide. One night together changes everything for both of them. Renzo holds secrets and Siobhan feels left in the dark and somewhat scared. Siobhan gets thrown into a world she knows nothing about. This book takes us on a journey. Once secrets are revealed will Siobhan be able to forgive and move on? Will she be happy? I highly recommend this book. Oh and it includes a short story of one of the bodyguards. ☺️

    Ok, it’s a solid 4.5⭐️’s and I’ll tell you why. First of all, I loved both Renzo and Siobhan (whose name I didn’t know how to pronounce either, so thank you, Gavino 😂- this is the Mafia boss dude from book one of this series). The story was really intense in parts. Renzo came on strong but he was also sweet at the same time. Siobhan was a little naive but also very strong at the same time. She had a hard life in Ireland and he offered her the world if she came to America with him. Easy enough. However, complications made their appearance before they left, and also once they were on American soil. I loved everything about all that, up to and including how he ran into her while on a stakeout where she was on her own stakeout, it was a little funny. Second of all, even though characters from the previous books in the series make their appearance in this book, no worries at all, you can read this one as a stand-alone. If anything, it’ll make you want to go back and check the other books out.
    And now I’m at the missing half a star from my review. I felt like some things were left unanswered, like the situation with her father, her sister, his former major crush. Total loose ends left there (can’t give details so I don’t give spoilers), and the ending was a tad abrupt. It all felt somehow like we’d be getting those answers in the next book, and I really hope that we do. All in all though, definitely worth reading!

    This story hooked me in straightaway with it’s quite powerful prologue making me extremely interested in what Renzo would turn out like. The whole book was filled with plenty of drama and action and the excitement mounted as things progressed, as you would expect in a mafia story, however, I really liked how this author doesn’t give unnecessary details in many scenes.

    Siobahn was a character I felt empathy for immediately, as I did Renzo. They had more in common than they knew and their chemistry was off the charts, there were an abundance of sex scenes and they were certainly very passionate and hot! Siobahn was much stronger than I think even she knew and she surprised me quite often, I enjoyed that aspect a lot. Renzo also took me by surprise occasionally too, which was great.

    As you would expect there were many serious and dark elements in this story, each handled well I thought. To balance this there were a few lighter moments, some light teasing and banter that brings a smile to your face, especially with Siobahn’s Irish friends. Even the mafia boss surprised me with some levity. 😁

    Terrific characters, a solid storyline, excitement and a wonderful romance all together help make this a great story to escape with from our everyday life. As an added bonus there is an extra short story at the end that wraps up another character’s love life. 😀

    Becoming the Hitman is Renzo story. We met him in the book Becoming the Street Boss. I was so happy to see we were going to get his story. He was so fun in the Street Boss story I hoped we would get some kind of insight on him and man did we ever. Renzo is a complex man that takes what he wants and kills anyone that gets in his way. Of course, he is a hitman on top of that, but the man does not mess with anyone that he cares about, he will mess you up.

    While on a job Renzo meets Siobahn and falls into bed with her. Neither of them knows that they are working toward the same goal. But while Renzo knows that Siobahn is a strong and capable woman he is bound to keep her safe even if that means lying to her about almost everything. Will that eat away at him and their relationship? Or will Siobahn surprise him and be stronger than he ever thought possible.

    I think Renzo and Siobahn's story has become my favorite. I absolutely loved these two and their story. It was heartbreaking and heartfelt at the same time. I couldn't put it down. I read it in one sitting and didn't want it to end.

    SIOBAHN Had a sister who disappeared at the age of 10. None stop looking for her or clues what happen to her. Renzo sent to Ireland to find out if one of the Garvino man is dirty in trafficking unwanted young girls. Renzo mets Siobhan and falls for her and brings her back to America as his women. But Renzo knows the answers to Siobhan missing sister and before telling her he wants her tie to him so she is unable to leave. Got to READ!!! You will be hooked. 💥🔥💖🤯🍹

    Siobhan and Renzo's story is so emotional, fun and full of surprises. This book had me coming and going trying to figure out what happens next.

    Renzo and Siobhan's relationship had its moments. Most very hot. Renzo has secrets and Siobhan had a hard childhood. She is very strong woman and keeps Renzo busy.

    This story has twists and turns throughout the story keeping you wanting more. Hayley has truly written another hit.

    Lovely writing, great series it's just the ending felt a little flat to me after such a big build up. I love angst so I'm really hard to please.
