Heavy Shot is the latest addition to Nashville Assassins: Next Generation Series. Just like Assassins, I am in love with the next generation. It is amazing to see all the hotshots dealing with their kids’ marriages and becoming grandparents and the new gen is giving them a run for their money 🙂 Till now we mostly saw the Adler and Brooks clans but slowly we are getting to the other members of the Assassins family starting with Titovs.

Being born into the Assassins family, Dimitri Titov always dreamed about being part of the team and following his father’s and uncle’s footsteps. It just took him a bit longer than expected since he followed his family to Russia and played there for a while. I wasn’t sure what to feel about Dimitri after how Shelli reacted to the news about him joining the camp but Elli still being at the helm of the Assassins and as always family comes first for her, she got what she wanted.  Now Dimitri got his shot to become part of the team and he is dedicated to making it. Even though Shelli is against him being on the team, Dmitri has amazing support in and out of the team. Elli, Posey, and River do their best to support him and he is super lucky because his cousin Flynn is also trying out for the team. Elli even arranges for him an apartment where he can stay alone and focus on hockey. Even though Dmitri has an amazing relationship with his family, he is happy that he will be living alone. At least that is what he is thinking until getting attacked with a hockey stick in the middle of the night by a beautiful intruder, Austen McDavid. Austen didn’t have the easiest upbringing. Thanks to her mom, she and her sisters grew up in a cult. Five years ago, Austen managed to run away and made sure her sisters followed shortly after. Now she and her sisters are with their grandfather, who is one of the richest and most influential people in Nashville. Her grandfather is planning to build a hockey team, which will be the Assassins farm team and Austen will be the GM, that is why for the whole year she will be shadowing Shelli. Austen was not expecting how welcoming, friendly, and accommodating the Assassins family is. So, when Shelli offered her the empty apartment so that she doesn’t need to drive back and forth, she agreed to take the apartment. She and everyone else thought that she will be living alone until she came across her new roommate in the middle of the night, attacking him with a hockey stick and destroying his Xbox in the process. OMG! It was hilarious to see that just like his father, Dimitri also manage to turn on the Xbox destruction mode. It took me back to the Blue Lines and reminded me of Phillip’s safety measures for Xbox destruction mode. It was super cute to watch banter between Dimitri and Austen. Dimitri was a bit annoying at first but slowly he started to show his true self which was sweet, loyal, and protective. I loved how he reacted to Austen. What I didn’t like was how Erik and Austen’s grandfather reacted. Austen’s grandfather – I really don’t care but the way Erik behaved was disappointing.

All in all, Dimitri and Austen’s story is everything you want in a romance; sexy, sweet, and amazingly perfect.

Also, HOLLY MOLLY what is going on with Quinn and Emery? Oh my heart, be still… I felt horrible for Quinn and yes Emery can definitely be a serial killer. I hope we will get the chance to read their story soon because after this book I am super curious.
