Release Date - April 4, 2017 Cover Designed By - Mae I Design and Photography

An assassin . . . that’s what I am.

I’m Wade Chandler by day and a killer at night. I get the job done no matter the cost. Not only do I hunt people for the FBI, but I’m also the owner of Chandler Enterprises, one of the top companies in the southeast.

When Brina Carmichael – daughter of the former president – wants my business advice, it’s hard to resist her long legs and seductive smile. One thing leads to another and now I’m in too deep.

I can’t let her know what I am, but I’ve never wanted a woman the way I want her.

However, harboring secrets comes at a price and I have a feeling she’s keeping some of her own. Especially, when my next mission leads me straight to her. Turns out she’s not who I thought she was. 

My Opinion
I think it's pretty clear by now that I love LP Dover books. If you read my last review you'll have seen Trigger didn't hook me as much as her usual novels because of Preston's job. However, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to read Target, and I'm thrilled to say it was so much better than Trigger.

Target pulled me in from the start. Brina was a strong female lead, and I thought being the former first daughter was an interesting twist--especially since I'm from the UK and we don't really have that here. She matched Wade perfectly and I thought the balance between assassin and businessman gave Wade a more likeable quality over Preston. While he had a dark side, he felt more human than just a killer.

As for the plot, I'm not going to say anything except there are a few twists. For once I didn't try to figure out who the bad guy was so I loved how the book played out. I thought there was a great balance of romance and suspense.


Overall, this is so much better than book 1 and I can't wait for Ian's story.

Standing at the receptionist’s desk, I waited to hear the verdict. Would Wade see me or not? When I heard his answer, I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn’t want my stupidity to ruin my shop’s chances at success. The receptionist smiled up at me. “You can go back now, Ms. Carmichael. His office is the last one on the right.” “Thank you,” I replied with a smile of my own. Pulse pounding in my ears, I walked down the hall to Wade’s office. I had a folder of my designs tucked under my arm. Hopefully, it’d be enough to persuade him. Taking a deep breath, I knocked on his door. “Come in,” he called out, his voice making me shiver. I hated how this man made me feel like that. It’d been over a week and I could still feel the way he touched every square inch of my body. I wasn’t a needy woman, but he made me want more. This is business, nothing more. Head held high, I opened the door. Wade was at his desk, leaning back in his chair, all cool and confident, dressed in his expensive suit with his brown hair perfectly coifed. Definitely not a bundle of nerves, like I was. “Mr. Chandler, it’s good to see you again.” His brows lifted. “Likewise. Although I’d probably believe it more if you hadn’t run out on me the last time.” And there it was. Biting my lip, I shut the door. I couldn’t tell if he was angry, or didn’t care. “Thought I’d save you the trouble,” I confessed. “We both had a little too much to drink that night. And let’s face it, it was either going to be me or you. And I prefer not to be the one left behind.” “Neither do I,” he said in all seriousness. “So, what brings you here?”
