Title - Target: A Circle of Justice Novel
Author - LP Dover
Genre - Romantic Suspense Standalone
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.
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?”
I really enjoyed book 1 but WOW this book was amazing. I loved the chemistry between Brina and Wade but what I loved even more was that piece of history between them that they may or may not have recalled so clearly. Nothing makes me swoon and fall in love more than a story with childhood friends finding each other again or reuniting , this may not have been about second chance romance but the pieces of their childhood we were given just made my heart melt. Lucky for me this is the second book this week that has had something like this in it. Beyond that we have a fast paced story with danger , suspense and a twist I was NOT expecting - actually maybe a couple of twists !! The story of Brina's past and how her family came to be who they are gave a great view of their family values yet was also heartbreaking. This may have been Wade's story but I fell in love with Brina as much as I did Wade !! She was a stand up chick with an attitude and a big heart. Wade had no chance at avoiding her and it didn't take long for the tension to snap !! Sadly I am vague-viewing because I do not want to give away anything that happens. If you enjoyed book 1 then you will love book 2 and if you are looking for a sexy and suspenseful read this series would be great for you. Looking forward to continuing on with this series and hopefully one day indulging in more series by this author.
