Review: Prime Target

Prime Target by Marquita Valentine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was caught up in this book from the beginning and thoroughly enjoyed it!!  A lot was happening in this book and, while it can be read as a stand-alone, some parts definitely made more sense if you have read her earlier books in the Holland Springs series first.  Ms. Valentine does a nice job of filling in one or two missing pieces from the Holland Springs series in this book.

Roman Smith lives a quiet, unassuming life as a bookseller far away from his family, the Bratva, leaving only when hired to assassinate someone on the family's orders.  He has a code and only kills those who truly deserve to die.  There is a woman in his life, Everly Andrews, to whom he is becoming attracted and who saves his life.

When Roman is ordered to kill an innocent man, he tries to walk away.  Unfortunately for him, someone does not want to let him go and uses Everly to try to force Roman to their will.

What follows is a captivating tale of Roman and Everly's fight to escape from a madman bent on revenge while not knowing who they can trust from Roman's past. Can he really trust his family or can those closest to Roman be bought to turn on him? I loved finding out!

I can't wait to read the next book in this new series.

Meet Roman Smith: Shopkeeper by Day. Assassin by Night.

The undercover Russian contract killer has never turned down an assignment that rids the world of scum... until his latest job targets an innocent man. Refusing is not an option, because of Everly Andrews, the sexy southern belle who saved him from dying. She's completely unaware of his double life, but has been marked as next on the kill list should he fail. Only, what The Bratva doesn't know—there’s nothing Roman won’t do to keep Everly safe. Drugged and deposited in a hotel in Prague, Roman must be on guard at all times in order to protect Everly, but the countdown has begun, and it won't stop until his next target, or Everly, is terminated. Can Roman protect Everly until he can eliminate the threat to her life?
