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?

what i think

Prime Target was a great romantic suspense with everything I expect from Marquita Valentine. The sexy times are steamy, the dialogue is smart, the characters are (mostly) likable, and the plot is fast paced! I think this book worked because its told almost exclusively from Roman’s POV. I don’t know that I would have enjoyed being in Everly’s head because so often I was like “What the heck is wrong with this girl??!???!” Roman is HOT. He is a dirty talker who can kill someone in thousands of different ways. The plot is pretty fast and you never get a chance to slow down. I read the book in one sitting. If you are one of those people who wants ‘realistic’, this book might be difficult for you. However, I loved it. Its fiction-sometimes you have to suspend parts of reality and just enjoy the ride!

I am super excited to read book 2 about Benjamin! I loved him in Prime Target! Geeky and dangerous!!
