Yes. Carmen Coyle so desperately wanted to be in love. But with her best friend of more than twenty years? JR Ellis had always been there for her, but she didn't like him that way, did she? To complicate matters, a stranger was targeting her—hunting her down for mysterious reasons. JR was determined to keep her safe—at all costs.
Protecting Carmen meant staying close to her, and JR knew she'd be a difficult temptation to resist. And as friends became lovers, JR wondered if this hot target would consent to be his—forever.
3.25 stars This was a story of unrequited love with the hero being in love with the heroine and her being oblivious flitting from one bad choice to another. The heroine is portrayed as someone who never grew up and the hero her landing rock. At the start of the book he is trying to cut the strings but when her life is threatened he can't deny he still loves her. I liked the reversal of roles here. When the h/H sleep together it is the h, who says the typical H dialogues like this doesn't mean anything. Perhaps because her life is being threatened and she fears losing her best friend to an attempted failed relationship. Not too bad.
