Designer Assassin: Heels, Rhymes & Nursery Crimes Kindle Edition

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 16 ratings

Mistress Black Sheep, bring your tools,
Point your muzzle, for the world you’ll fool.
Keep your hands steady and watch your back.
Gather your sins using that deceitful tact.
Sew your stitches with your deadly sight—a show in the day, a contract with the night.

Holly Honey is one of the leading fashion designers in the world, but what no one knows is she has a side job and is anything but sweet. Her sharp eyes can take out her targets from a distance. Threading a needle is easy for her…no matter the tool. She has never questioned her jobs, until now when a familiar face appears on the other side of her scope. Why would anyone want Elijah gone? He’s probably the least dangerous person on the planet. Now, she has to save him and safeguard her heart at the same time. If anyone can design the perfect scheme, she can.

Welcome to Nursery Crimes, where tales are twisted and happily ever afters are not always guaranteed.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Maria Vickers currently lives in St. Louis, MO with her pug, Hunny. She has always had a passion for writing and after she became disabled, she decided to use writing as her escape.

Life is about what you make of it. You have to live it to the fullest no matter the circumstances.

From the author herself:

I have always loved books. Not only creating the stories, but reading them as well. Books transport me, and when I was younger, I would run into walls because I refused to put my books down even for a second. Take note, walking with books is not advised. LOL.

With my books, I just want to share my stories with the world. I want others to be transported or to feel the emotions my characters feel. That is my goal with my writing. If I can do that for one person, I succeeded.

Getting sick changed me and my life, but it also opened doors that I thought were closed.

    Loved, loved, loved this book. The plot is clever and unusual with some great twists and turns. As ever, Ms Vickers has written a cast of characters who pop out of the page and this cover is sublime. Easy 5 stars!

    Very much enjoying this series. Each book is a quick story, and this book tells an intriguing tale of an assasin/clothing designer so caught up on the man who got away with her heart. Excellent story!

    I enjoyed this story. A quick read for those of us who love the Heels, Rhymes & Nursery Crimes books. The female heroine, is a fashion designer by day and an assassin by night. She’s grieving the death of her mentor, reminiscing about a lost lover and trying to figure out who is betraying her. The story has many twists and a little bit of romance.

    I truly wished this book was a full novel. I wanted more of Honey and Elijah. I loved this storyline. It is unique, which prompted me to one click when I read the blurb. I highly recommend this book

    Maria has done it again. Another amazing book that will pull you in and never let you go. You will love her, understand her motives, and root for her when her she is facing tough things. The strong female character is flawed but strong and I appreciate it!

    I really enjoyed this little novella in the nursery rhyme series. Holly’s story may have been short but I felt we really got to know her and her side characters.
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2021
    I was so into this book! Our FMC is totally multifaceted. She is a world renowned fashion designer by day with huge success and a kickbutt assassin by night. The two contradictions are totally fascinating. After a successful show she takes a job that ends up being way too sketchy making her fell targeted. She has to figure out what is really going on quick, fast, and in a hurry. Full of danger and surprise twists you will find yourself at the end way to early wishing there was more. Makes for quite the fun read. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
