The Target (The Guardians)

Rating:
Summary: Exhilarating romantic suspense -- Very highly recommended
Review: Although their chemistry seems to be perfect, Hannah Crosby and Quinn McNichol face irreconcilable differences. Both she and Quinn are on the bomb squad EXIT, an Explosives and Incendiary Team. After two and half years of dating, at thirty-two Hannah wants marriage and children. Quinn believes that the danger of their careers precludes their ability to be responsible for children. Then poised on the final explosion of their relationship, the unthinkable happens. A bomb nearly kills Quinn.

Hours and days and weeks at Quinn's side take their toll on Hannah. With her logic flawed by stress and sleep deprivation, she starts making mistakes on the job. Their eventual breakup, however, does not resolve their feelings. Neither moves beyond the love they once shared. Surprisingly, the bomber who destroyed their lives proves to be the one to bring them together professionally again. Unfortunately, they still face the personal challenges that already destroyed their relationship once.

Author Kay David pens another exhilarating romantic suspense with THE TARGET. Inspired by the September 11th event, David explores the personal challenges that create tension when a career daily puts one's life on the line. Courage in the face of professional danger comes easily for Hannah and Quinn, but courage on the personal level proves to be far more difficult. Risk, loss and sacrifice lend THE TARGET an emotional complexity that makes it impossible to put down. Another one to add to the keeper shelf, THE TARGET comes very highly recommended.
