Summary: I LOVED it...so much so I bought it twice!!!!!
Review: This book was a wonderful suspence story. And the tenderhearted judge is the kind of man I dream of meeting.. one with character and understanding and intelligence. Ramsey refuses to let evil win, no matter the cost to him. His protection and care of a little girl that was in desparate need was heartwarming. This book was more suspence than romance, but it had heart and feeling. I have read hundreds of romance novels, and I find that I like the ones that veer from the normal. It keeps me interested. Ramsey, Molly and Emma are now my friends for life. I'll read this book over and over. I bought the hardback addition, then gave it to a friend after I had read it, and I bought it again in paperback. Guess I liked it pretty well huh?

Summary: GREAT MYSTERY!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I loved Catherine when she wrote for Signet and I like her mysteries even better. I read The Maze first and than The Cove and I have just ordered The Edge. This book was great. I really loved Emma and thought the way Catherine developed her relationship with Ramsey was great. I hated to put the book down. She had some really good secondary characters in the book.

Summary: This book was not as good as The Maze
Review: This book was not written vey well. The writing seemed sloppy. I don't mean to nit-pick, but the sentence structure was juvenile and made her seem unintelligent. However, I enjoyed the plot. That was what saved her. I would have liked to have seen more of Dillon and Savich, they seemed to pop up every once in a while, but they were unessecary to the plot. I think she should have included them better. The Maze was much better in terms of the over-all presentation of the novel. This book was a slight dissappointment but it's still worth the read. I'm sure I will still continue to read her work. I enjoy a good suspense book with a little splash of romance. I give the book three and a half stars,(but there was no option for half stars).

Summary: She keeps getting better and better
Review: The Target is another excellent book. I have read The Cove and The Maze and I like the way Coulter keeps some of the characters throughout her books. It makes you feel like you know the characters.

Summary: As a new fan of Catherine Coulters I wasnot disappointed
Review: Finding Catherine Coulters books have given me a new reason for reading.Target goes well for me after reading The Cove and The Maze. Ramsey is my hero and Savich and Sherlock are like old friends.

Summary: Fast paced, interesting characters
Review: I enjoyed The Target and thought all the characters were very interesting. Judge Hunt was an interesting mix with Emma & Molly. I was disappointed that there were several typo's (like Page 192 referring to Judge Hunt as Judge Hurt) that can be distracting and make you reread several paragraphs. I think it is nice to have an author do something a little different once in a while instead of the same "romance" stories.

Summary: Another great suspense book from Coulter!
Review: I loved The Cove and The Maze, and Coulter did it again with The Target. I loved the characters, especially Emma, the little girl who is rescued by Ramsey. I was hooked from page one and couldn't put it down. I also love when Coulter uses characters from her other books -- Dillon and Sherlock Savich from The Maze appear in this one, which was a real treat. Great suspense and awesome ending.

Summary: Not a TRUE Coulter.
Review: I could not be labeled as a "Fan" of Catherine Coulter's after reading this book. It was too different from the rest of her books. Too based around the child. Ms. Coulter, I believe, is an adult romance writer. My preference is for the novel to be centered on the two adults and their romance, not a 'perfect' little girl. I was disappointed that Ms. Coulter would write this and I actually feel sorry for anyone who spends their money on The Target. I honestly believe that they would be better off reading the Bride Series or Legacy Series or perhaps The Cove and The Maze. I am not thrilled that I spent money on this book. I think it is a shame that Ms. Coulter lowered her normally wonderful standards. I must say though, this is the first of her books that has disappointed me.

Summary: "Judge Dredd" meets "The Godfather".
Review: Remember Dillion and, his new wife, Sherlock? They co-star in Catherine Coulter's latest release! In this one, Judge Ramsey Hunt is in the mountains to escape the paparazzo. The famous "Judge Dredd" ended up living up to his reputation even there though. While cutting logs he hears something out of the ordinary and finds six year old, Emma, unconscience in the woods. It was obvious she had been beaten and sexually abused. It took his almost a week to gain her trust. Emma did not speak a word until her mother, Molly Santera, came through the door with gun in hand to save her daughter. Emma had been kidnapped near her backyard when Molly had taken her eyes off Emma for less than five seconds to snap a photo. However, the ransom did not come until after she had Emma back. Her ex-husband was over seas giving a concert tour and could care less. Molly's father was all, but called, The Godfather. Everyone had to put their differences aside and their heads together to keep Ramsey, Molly, and Emma alive until the leader of the conspiracy was caught. ***Highly recommended as a thriller with many curves.***

Summary: Not bad, but not too good either...
Review: I listened to the unabridged audio book version of The Target -- which is probably why I finished it. The book did have its good points-- parts WERE entertaining. But overall, I must admit, I got a little sick of the little girl. I mean, when have you ever met a child so perfect--polite all of the time, unselfish all of time, etc.? But to be fair, I must admit, I typically don't like to read about kids. If you do, her "sweetness" might not bother you. Also, I thought the romance between the two adults developed faster than I found believable. Despite those two problems, the book wasn't that bad. I guess if you're a C. Coulter fan, you might like it. But the bottom line is: Would I recommend it to a friend? Sorry, but I'd have to say No.
