Lacey Cross, a dental receptionist in Topeka, Kansas, is
about to have her world come crashing down around her. At
work she receives a call that says only, "On the third day"
then the caller hangs up, a few minutes later chaos erupts.
In
walks, a detective she knows from her own brothers'
troubles with the cops and a tall, blonde haired man with
the same kind of accent as the caller had. Before she knows
it she's in protective custody and about to be set up as a
SECURE TARGET.
Bronnik Mason, a member of the South African Task Force,
has been chasing a serial killer half way around the world
and now stands in Kansas. He will not see this man claim
another victim. Within moments of meeting Lacey, he is
doubly sure that the killer won't get her but he is also
worried about his own ability of keeping this all
professional. He has never felt such an instantaneous
attraction to anyone before.
SECURE TARGET is a book you will not be able to put down.
The action begins from page one with not only the danger
she is in physically but also emotionally. It seems the
tall rangy Bronnik has a problem with keeping his eye on
the prize, but then maybe Lacey is the prize. I also liked
watching Lacey become stronger than she imagined she could
be and learns to stand up to whatever comes her way. After
hints of her family background come out I applauded the
author's efforts in setting her free from her past. I
enjoyed the emotional ups and downs as they both fight to
keep in mind the real danger. The fast pace of them falling
in love did not bother me as I am a believer in love at
first sight and the ups and downs they went through only
added to the steamy moments when they gave in. It might
have been nice to have a little more background on the
killer, and why he targeted dental receptionists, but the
fact that he was crazy as a loon did the job for me. Author
Rebecca Crowley has written a fast paced, action packed
story and since it is book 1 of her Elite Operators
series, I cannot wait to see who gets the next story.
South African hostage rescue operative Bronnik Mason has
been chasing a serial killer around the globe for over a
year. Four women have already died, and he’s sworn there
won’t be a fifth. Even if, this time, he has to offer up
more than a few pints of his own blood.
But when it comes to safeguarding the killer’s next target,
Bronnik realizes this case could put his professional
boundaries to the test.
Having grown up in the shadow of two delinquent brothers,
dental receptionist Lacey Cross is impeccably well-behaved,
dutiful, hard working—and bored. Until Bronnik storms into
the office to sweep her into protective custody. Suddenly,
her nondescript life just got a lot more interesting.
