Synopsis:~

Criminal psychologist Erin Larson’s dreams of a successful career come to a screeching halt when she nearly loses her own life in a boating accident on Puget Sound and then learns that her mother tried to commit suicide. She leaves her job as a criminal psychologist to care for her mother in Montana. At least she is able to produce her podcast, which focuses on solving missing persons cold cases.

Nathan Campbell’s father was investigating such a case when he was shot, and now Nathan needs to enlist Erin’s help to solve the case. She’s good at what she does. The only problem? She’s his ex.

As the two dig deeper, it becomes clear that they, too, are being targeted–and that the answers to their questions are buried deep within the past Erin struggles to explain and longs to forget.

Necee’s take:~

“For a few hours every Saturday morning, Erin Larson could forget that evil existed.”

Twists at every turn…I didn’t see the ending coming. Deadly Target was such an intense an unexpected journey, that I was honestly blown away. Goddard delivered on all fronts, from a gripping mystery to a heart tugging romance, she kept me engaged and guessing from start to finish. I really don’t want to say too much other than, this is what romantic suspense is all about! I loved it!

“A familiar flutter thrummed inside—and she hadn’t felt that in much too long. How was it possible that Nathan could still stir her after so long?”

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own and have been given honestly.
