When an enemy
from her past threatens to return, Margaret Douglas must go on the run. But
danger is in hot pursuit, and Margaret finds herself matching wits with a man
who refuses to be stopped. Turning from the hunted to the hunter, Margaret must
use everything she has to not only survive, but defeat evil and prove she’s No Easy Target in this
high-octane thriller.
My Thoughts….
No Easy Target
is my favorite so far. I like that Eve
Duncan is mentioned but is not the focus of the story. This is Margaret Douglas’ story, a
secondary characters from the well known Eve Duncan series. I am always intrigued when an author
chooses a secondary character to write an entire book about. Iris Johansen is known for her strong
female characters and Margaret falls into that category. She relies on no one, trusts no one, and
only answers to herself. There was a
point where I thought that might change a tad but she manages to stay true to
herself.
The story has
an animal whisperer twist which I enjoyed.
I liked that her talent wasn’t blown so far out of the norm that it
became unbelievable. Her talent was
something that she used for the good of others and was always aware of what was
going on with those she was working with whether human or animal.
The
relationship between John Lassiter, her kidnapper, and Margaret was full of
twists, turns, and heat. There was
conflict, trust, lack of trust, and lust all thrown together into one
relationship. I had hopes and fears
for which direction they would take but was surprised at the actually road
their relationship took. It was a
perfect ride for a strong woman and man who was use to getting his way.
No Easy Target
is a book I will recommend to anyone looking for a thriller with a twist of the
unknown and a little bit of lusting.
This is another winner from Iris Johansen.
Special thanks
to John Karle and Ann-Marie Nieves for a copy of the book in exchange for an
honest review.
