But when Alex decides to take a mysterious young woman into his home, he may discover that kindness and heroism don’t always go hand in hand.

About the author
Brandon Varnell
111 books371 followersBrandon Varnell is a writer. The end.
... Just kidding.
Brandon Varnell is the author of several book series, all of which involve anime-inspired fanservice. Having been an anime nerd for basically his whole life, his books tend to reflect that. He likes writing stories with loads of T&A, shonen-style battle scenes, and steamy romances that are both light-hearted and erotic. He is also a huge fan of harem anime, so most of his books feature harem romances. If that bothers you, you probably shouldn't read his books.

Of love and assassin.
Hehe, it was worth every pennies! I like the parallel with to love ru, and with a non wimpy mc that doesn't stay stuck in his ways. But the hero thingy is something that shouldn't be all what the mc aspire to. There was a certain disconnect between Gabrielle and Alex in this book and I hope it get mended.
I hope the next one will be even funnier!

The series, and the writer, continue to improve
Even mindless fluff requires skill to write properly, and I'm starting to depend on Varnell to satisfy my requirements for mindless fluff, especially in this deadly-serious world. Even formulaic work should be handled with skill for best effect.
I've learned to give each of his series a fair trial, as long as there's at least one guffaw somewhere in the first book to justify continuing. This worked for his Kitsune series, and this one. My jury is still out on some of his other series, but I'll give them another rereading, just to make sure I didn't miss anything while grinding my teeth over his many justifiable faults.
We're all finite and fallible, despite some acting like they're exempt, so even less-important reading deserves respect for the genre, and the people who read it. I expect laughs and ecchi from works like this, and Varnell does not disappoint in the series I have taken to heart.

Same relationship issues with anime trope based harem
With the same jokes appearing and recaps of parts of the story, and the typical Anime MC who can’t even date or kiss a girl in his “harem” it’s a lot different from the American harem stories that have lots of sex and get on with growing the depth of the relationship between the characters. Loosing faith that anything remotely romantic will happen in this series, with the distance between the characters getting reset before anything serious happens. If this was a Jan Stryvant series all the girls would be happy and pregnant by now.

Fun.
The assassin arrives. Things are certainly heating up for Alex. This book was enjoyable and completely worth reading as the saga continues. The story and characters were intriguing and engaging. The tsundere love interest finally arrives. This book is definitely worth reading. I look forward to reading more about these characters and their further adventures.

A delightful book
Funny, witty, enjoyable, all terms that I feel are descriptions of most of the series the author writes. Looking forward to the next couple books!

A interesting read.
I enjoyed this book but I am starting to be less enthusiastic about the story as the MC just has not advanced his relationship with Gabby.
