Sold to the Hitman is a "mafia bad boy romance" that's best described as a fairy tale, where an ultra-conservative religious girl that was home-schooled, never dated, never had sex, never been to the city... i.e. a total "babe in the woods" in every sense, was suddenly tossed onto a human trafficking auction, bought by a Bratva hitman (to save her) to be his wife (mainly to save her from a worse fate), and she could only fall in love with her provider and protector.
The book fell into the trope of "Siberian iceman assassin". The actual killings are not bad, if a bit inspired by the game Hitman. The romance and sex are pretty good, but the hothouse flower girl's innocence was played up too much, IMHO, and the ending a bit rushed as if one big hit and "it's all over". Good effort, but didn't quite feel satisfying at the end. Add to the rather shallow and trope characters, there's really not much to this romance.
