Blurb
Never take Fate along on a date. The
kiss goodnight could be deadly.
Tracking
down Veilers—non humans—is only a sideline for Tess Damon. Vengeance for her
fiancé’s murder is her reason for living. But with two botched jobs on her
record, if she fails to eliminate her next mark, she’s dead. She’s not
afraid to die, but not before she gets even. Too bad fate has a really bad
sense of humor.
Hugh
Langston, a wolfen half shifter, lives to keep both humans and his pack safe.
But when rogue humans kidnap his apprentice, his rescue mission is compromised
by a hot-as-hell, kick-ass woman who makes him think only one thing: mine.
Tess tries
to ignore her feelings, but temptation trips her up. Especially when Hugh
figures out he’s her next target and forces her into an inconvenient alliance
that tests all the laws against their attraction. Now, with the
line between good and evil getting blurrier by the minute, it becomes clear
Tess’s only hope of living to see another day—and finding a murderer—lies with
the one man she’s supposed to kill.

MY REVIEW:
The cover is what drew me to wanting to read this book. Lately I have been kind of bored with the whole paranormal romance genre and Veiled Target DID NOT disappoint me!
I LOVED IT.
I found it to be sexy and edgy with a great storyline.
Hugh is a yummy Alpha hero and I love how stubborn and kick-ass Tess is as his heroine. Both of these characters are strong and well written.
I look forward to more books in this series!
EXCERPT:
“Cut the
crap, Tess. Why were you following me?”
“How do you
know I was following you?” Oops. She meant to say, “What makes you think I
was following you?”
He gave a
knowing smile—that looked ridiculously sexy rather than irritating. “I know you
don’t want to insult my intelligence so let’s just say for argument’s sake, if
you were following me, why would that be?”
At least
she’d gotten him to change his tone.
“Truthfully?”
She leaned a little closer to him. She couldn’t help it.
“That would
be nice.”
“I’m really
not a very nice person,” she announced.
“Neither am
I.” He reached out and moved a strand of hair behind her ear.
Was he
trying to confuse her? Because it was working. She’d nearly fallen into his
hand before he pulled it away. He was indeed a very bad man.
“That’s
good. I hate nice guys. So where does that leave us?”
“I haven’t
got all night, Tess.” He lowered his chin, indicating—she presumed—he was
growing tired of their banter.
She lifted
an eyebrow. “No? That’s too bad. I’m a night owl. I can—”
“Answer my
question before I haul you to your car over my shoulder.” His tone sent a
little zing of pleasure right to the tips of her breasts.
“As if you
could—” She was over his shoulder in one second flat. He moved swiftly, quietly
and with superhuman strength. Uh oh. “Hey, put me down!”
He started
down the alley, seemingly unbothered by her spastic attempts to get him to let
her go. “You ready to walk and talk now?”
“Fine,” she
conceded, although the view of his backside was pretty damn good.
When both
feet securely hit the ground, she tugged down her dress and shifted the V-neck
into place. He watched her squirm to put the rest of the material back where it
belonged and his roving eyes heated her from the inside out.
“I followed
you because I wanted to help.”
He started
walking. “Do I look like I need help?” A little gleam—and major
interest?—flickered in his sideways glance.
“Well, no.
But I’m very capable and I didn’t feel like going home, so I decided there was
no harm in making myself available to you should you need me.” She took a deep
breath. It was time to put the question out there. “Did you know Dane is a—”
“Wolfen?
Yeah I know.”
“How do
you—”
He stopped
and turned toward her with confusion and passion in his deep blue eyes. For
several seconds he stared at her, like he was trying to get inside her head.
Guess what she was thinking. “I’m the leader of the Night Runners,” he finally
said.
She imagined
he’d told her something he’d never told another human being before.
What the
hell was she going to do now?
an adventurous book!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elena!
DeleteHi Cyndi! Thanks so much for helping me spread the word about VT! And thanks for reading it and for your very kind words! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Yay! That cover is pretty wonderful isn't it? And I have to tell you, the mom of the male cover model contacted me to say how much she loved it and could she get a copy of the book because she collects all of her son's covers. (He's on quite a few.) She was a very proud mom and her getting in touch with me totally made my day!
ReplyDeleteThanks again! <3
