Four years ago, Scotty was the center of every one of my fantasies. He was funny, kind, and eleven years older than me–a protector. But one ill-timed confession and he vanished from my life without so much as a goodbye.
Now I am called to testify against the men who kidnapped me and the gorgeous, infuriating man I tried so hard to forget is assigned to protect me. I want answers and he refuses to give them.
But as much as he claims to hate me too, I see the way his eyes linger on my skin. How his hands itch to reach out. He understands me in a way I’ve never let another man get close enough to know. My scars, physical and emotional, are a constant reminder of the girl I used to be.
A girl I try to forget.
As we travel across the country, the tension and simmering heat becomes unbearable. He’s pushing me outside my comfort zone while I’m desperately searching for control––until I realize Scott is more than willing to give it to me.
Once this is over, I know he’ll disappear again. But for now, he’s surrendering his control, and I'm going to take it.
The Target
is the fourth book in the Redemption Ranch series. I haven’t read every book in the series, but
I had no problem reading this as a standalone. This was Gemma and Scott’s book, and my
attention was grabbed from the beginning.
Gemma had revamped
her life after finding herself in the witness protection program at Redemption
Ranch. Her past comes back when she is
called back to give her testimony. Her life
is in danger as she travels across the country with the one man who had broken
her heart. Scott thought his leaving
Redemption Ranch would help and free Gemma from her past. He never realized Gemma could save
herself.
I enjoyed
reading this book and seeing Gemma finally get to oversee her own life. She had a lot of hurdles to overcome but she came
into herself.
I received
an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.
