Coney Island Bombay, Cy to his friends, is a man of many
contradictions. He's a carnival ride operator, has a PhD in
philosophy, and also works in the family business as an
assassin. The Bombay family has spawned generations of
assassins for over 4000 years. With his motor home and pet
guinea pig, Sartre, Cy thinks his life is as good as it can
be. But a determined graduate student manages to upset his
life in more ways than one.
In Nebraska Veronica Gale interviews Cy for her master's
thesis on transient lifestyles. He's intrigued by her but
thinks their one meeting is all there is. After all, she
just thinks he's a traveling carny worker. Until she shows
up at the Florida hotel where Cy has just completed another
assassination. And again appears in Mongolia where he's
training for their annual hand-to-hand combat events. Is
this just a coincidence or something more?
Cy finds there's just something about Ronnie that he can't
resist, even when he knows better. If he does fall for
Ronnie he will have to tell her about his family's business.
Cy struggles with his inner demons as well as his wrestling
opponents in the series of grueling events. Another
assassination order complicates an already messy situation.
What will Cy do? Will Ronnie accept his lifestyle? Will he
finally be outed as an assassin?
Equal parts mystery and romance, I SHOT YOU BABE is sure to
please readers of both genres. I found it very easy to
follow the storyline despite not having read the previous
three books in the series. That said, I will be digging out
Ms. Lantry's earlier books from my massive TBR (to be read)
pile. Readers will be surprised from some bombshells in the
latter part of the book. I highly recommend this great
romantic mystery.
Coney Bombay is one hot assassin with an Ivy League PhD
who

wild family of killers, Cy stands out. But after a series
of
run-ins with perennial grad student Veronica Gale, the
cool
cat is starting to feel a little hot under the collar.
In her research, Ronnie Gale has seen a lot. Problem is,
she
hasn’t actually done a lot. The mysterious Cy Bombay
seems
about to change all that with a whirlwind adventure that
will take them from a small-town county fair to the outer
reaches of Mongolia. But when love is on the line and
there’s a murder to be solved, will Ronnie really be
willing
to climb out of the ivory tower and get a little down and
dirty?
