Coyote Explains...Hard Target by Marquita Valentine...My Review

HARD TARGET was released 

on February 23, 2016

 

My Review:

If you are looking for a great book that's action packed, suspenseful, and has romance, then you need to read this book! Marquita Valentine knows how to keep the twists and turns coming right to the very end! This book takes place 10 years after Prime Target, but can be read as a standalone. It follows Benjamin Romanov and the fresh start that he has made for himself...or has he?! After he and his beautiful co-worker, Morgan, go out for the first time, all bets on his fresh start may be off. I can't wait for the next book to come out! I highly recommend this book and could see it becoming a movie!

Teaser #1:

“Don’t you want to tell me how you’re going to kill me?” Frantic and desperate, I scan the room, looking for something to hit or stab him with. “All the best villains give a detailed description.”

He nudges my head with something hard. The gun, probably. “It’s simple. You didn’t follow protocol, so now I have to kill you.”

“You’re going to kill me for sleeping with Ben?” I all but shriek.

“Shut up.” He kicks me in the back.

I fall forward with a cry, my head narrowly missing hitting the floor. Squeezing my eyes shut, I begin to pray.

A shot rings out and my body jerks, but there’s no pain. There’s a thud.

My eyes open and they’re staring straight at a face. Only the face has a hole in the center of the forehead and it’s smoking. A thin line of blood runs down from it.

He’s dead.

 

 Excerpt:

“I prefer you not judge me until you know all the facts.”

“Fair enough.” He leans against a counter casually, as if there isn’t a dead body in the lab. “I’m listening.”

“Oliver has off today, so it’s my job to take time sensitive packages up. I signed for one, not even twenty minutes ago, and then came up here.” I flick my gaze to the body on the floor, then back to him.

His mouth quirks on one side. “I saw you.”

Of course he did. “Once I got to the lab, I let myself in. No one answered and I couldn’t leave the package, so I grabbed the nearest lab coat and went searching. Except that guy found me instead.” A shaky breath leaves me. My knees tremble, but my heart is slowly returning to normal. “Then you saved me.”

“That remains to be seen.” He grabs my arm. “Let’s go.”

Book Description:

Ten years ago, Benjamin Romanov left behind a world of violence and intrigue. Now he’s living the dream as the chief technology officer at PharmGen, the world’s largest provider of vaccinations. The perks are amazing—a luxury penthouse, fast car, and his pick of women. The only downside to his job is reporting employees for less than scrupulous e-mail practices, but when he is forced to confront an employee in the lab, he ends up preventing a security guard from killing an innocent woman.

Receptionist Morgan Tanner never meant to get caught in the crosshairs of a deal gone wrong. All she wanted was one night of excitement with the sexy and elusive Benjamin Romanov. But now they’re on the run, and Benjamin thinks she has something to do with why everyone wants to kill them. Only she has no idea what’s going on at all—she was only in the lab to deliver a time-sensitive package.

With time running out, Benjamin must find a way to protect an innocent woman while keeping his distance… and expose PharmGen to the world before the deadly virus is unleashed.
