The Risqué Target

I LOVED this book!

A fast paced, thrilling, SEXY as all hell spy novel that was perfect from start to finish. I absolutely loved this The Risqué Target by Kelly Gendron. This book had everything I expect in a romantic suspense. In addition to a rich plot with twists and turns, we have major chemistry between the hero and heroine. You could feel their chemistry through the pages. It was scorching at times. The descriptions of the hero, Tantum Maddox, along with the picture on the cover were all I needed to be sucked right into this epic story!

This book never failed to keep me on my toes. From the beginning all the way until the end I was enthralled. I needed to know what would happen next and who was really behind all of the drama. The writing is excellent. Right way the scenes are suspenseful leaving us needing to know was going to happen. Agent Nala Dekker is a young agent on a mission by her agency NESA. Also working at NESA, who happens to be in the same place as Agent Dekker, is Tantum Maddox. He is also an agent, but he has tons of baggage and mysterious circumstances connect them both.

With a spy novel you never know what you will get. I found that this book was neither cliché nor predictable. I did not see the end coming at all. There were no plot holes. Every issue was closed and accounted for. What I did not expect and was incredibly happy about were the epic erotic scenes.

The author did not fail to deliver some of the hottest sex scenes I have ever read! I love built up anticipation. The level of angst between Tantum and Nala was so intense at times. I loved them both. They each had their own issues but, in the end, stayed true to what they felt was right. I felt the connection was believable.

I loved that the story was told from both POVs, so I was able to see exactly how attracted and affected they were by the other. I wanted them to work it out so badly. I was so vested in their relationship. I must say, I am such a sucker for this romantic spy suspense book but what really put it over the top for me was the writing, the perspectives of each character and how true you could feel everything they were saying was. Last but certainly not least, the sex scenes. They were outstanding. It is not east to write this level of sexual tension. This is the best kind of erotic romance.

I highly recommend this read! This is a 5 star for me, and I will be reading this author’s work in the future. I hope all of her books are this amazing.
