Innocent Target

GIVEAWAY

REES, ELZABETH
INNOCENT TARGET

To clear her father's name...she'll risk her life

Nothing can stop journalist Kitty Linklater from proving her father was wrongfully convicted of murder -- especially not a killer who wants to silence her. With the town turned against Kitty, Chief Deputy Ryan Lawrence isn't convinced of her father's innocence, but he's sure she's in danger. And he'll put his heart and job on the line to save her life...even if it costs his own.

My Review:

Wooooooheeee! This is one of my top favourite Love Inspired Suspense novels of all time! It's mind-boggling good. A complicated case, ever-present danger, tense, tense, TENSE (did I emphasize that enough?) relationship between hero and heroine...well, it all comes together in one explosively compulsive read.

And my emotions were all in a jumble. Mostly I identified with Kitty, even though I could see how Ryan could be so...condescending? patronizing?...at times. Or at least come across that way. But, grrrr, I was so seething mad at him for not believing her! Of course, I had the benefit of knowing I was reading fiction and trusted the author enough to believe in Kitty's faith in her father, despite his rough background.

Gah, I was in knots most of the read because Kitty is so alone -- ostracized by most of the town and she just needs someone to hold her and tell her it's okay and he believes her and couldn't that someone be Ryan? Uh...nope...he's supportive and protective but he draws the line at believing a convicted child killer is innocent. Talk about an insurmountable barrier to romance! He thinks she's bullheaded, she thinks he's closed-minded -- these two spar more than they spark. :-) (but that doesn't mean there isn't any toe-curling going on here!)

"I don't expect you to believe me, but I know I'm onto something, and when I finally prove that my father was wrongfully imprisoned, I'll happily accept an apology from you, Chief Deputy Lawrence."  (p 17)

Love me a fiesty heroine with sass and conviction and tenacity! And, as it turns out, so does Ryan...eventually.

Innocent Target is everything that is good and right in a romantic suspense novel x 10!!!!
