Moving Target
An innocent woman. An assassin with a conscience. A deadly attraction.
Although Piper McAdams doesn’t fit the profile, Nathanial “Wolf” Schuyler can’t be sure she isn’t the woman he’s supposed to assassinate without getting a closer look.
Once he discovers his cover’s been blown, his options are limited: walk away or watch an innocent woman suffer the consequences.
A slave to his conscience, Wolf decides the best way to solve a problem like Piper is to take her along for the ride while he tries to figure out who wants her dead and why. It’s a happy coincidence that this gives him a reason to keep her close.

I liked:
1- Mmm.. you guys guessed right! Of course Wolf tops the list of my likes for this short novella. I felt my heart literally go aflutter when Wolf came up beside Anna asking her to dance, while promising with his eyes of things that he wants to do to her that just made my knees go weak. The club scene was definitely something! *wicked grin*
2- Anna. I liked her because she doesn’t wait around fussing and bemoaning about the fact that an assassin who has been hired to kill her is the one who ultimately rides to his rescue when the shit hits the fan. I loved Anna because in spite of everything she still saw the gentleness that resides in Wolf that yearns to show itself, and because she opened up herself to let Wolf in, giving him a chance to embrace the light to escape all the darkness in his life.
3- Definitely love the cover on this one too!! ^_^
Dislikes: None. Would love to read a full length romantic suspense or contemporary from the author though!

LynnMarie’s Review
Where do I even begin? I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading, Moving Target. I have read some of Rosalie Stanton’s paranormal work, and I must say she is in her element when writing contemporary romance.
Anna is trying to start over after losing her job and hiding from an ugly truth. When her best friend drags her to a bar for some much needed unwinding, she meets Wolf, the man that has been secretly watching her for weeks.
What unfolds next is a wild ride to stay alive, while battling an array of emotions, from fear to passion.
Moving Target fulfills a fantasy for a lot of women; a professional hitman is hired to kill you, but can’t go through with it because of an unexplainable attraction. Of course, it goes deeper for Wolf because he’s sick and tired of his dark life, and is drawn to the sweet goodness of Anna. The premise was more of a pull than the actual plot, but the writing, and character development, made Moving Target a great read.
Rosalie Stanton impressed me with her perfect mix of action, emotion and dialogue. The sex scenes were well written, unrushed and nicely balanced. I read this book in two sittings because of the intense sexual tension between our hero and heroine, the suspense wound into the plot, and the smooth, flowing writing.
If you want a quick, intense read, with a very likeable heroine, sexy badboy hero, and sweet love story…then I highly suggest you pick up Moving Target as soon as it’s released! You won’t be disappointed.
5 Tea Cups!

In spite of a good beginning, it fell apart for me as I got to know the characters more. Wolf is meant to be charming, but came across as an ass, while Anna is inconsistent and whiny. If the assassin plot was good, I might be willing to overlook these shortcomings, but ultimately, the conspiracy around why Anna is being hunted is unnecessarily convoluted for a short novella as well as downright silly in a few parts. Worse, it doesn’t even get resolved onscreen. Anna does something she could (should) have done weeks earlier, makes a phone call, and poof! Problem solved. It’s lazy storytelling and emotionally unsatisfying.

As with all of Rosalie's stuff, I know I'm going to get something HOT. Moving Target is no exception. Wolf is scorching and Anna is just the right amount of nice to his naughty.
This could definitely be an expanded story (written in parts perhaps) that I would love to read. Hope to see more of this couple in the future.

I liked Nathan and Anna. Their banter was fun; their chemistry was hot. Nathan is an interesting character. An assassin with a conscience, he’s seemingly in control of everything in his life, except his reaction to Anna. I like that both he and Anna showed their human qualities. At times they were confident, witty, sexy, and vulnerable.

If anyone ever puts a hit out on me, I hope Wolf's the one who comes to collect. Quick banter, fun characters, and an exciting story.
