Lot's of heat and action, January 6, 2008
This review is from: Moving Target (Mass Market Paperback)
This a very good romantic suspense. I enjoyed the story and the hot romance. The author did a great deal of research and I liked that she followed the rules of the U S Marshall's Office. So many authors take to much priviledge with the truth and become somewhat unbelievable. So it was nice to see that this story followed protocol.
Ani King was a museum curator until she watched Dmitry Borenko kill her family. She was shot and left for dead but managed to get out a window with her sister's body when they set the house on fire. Her father had been involved with the Russian Mob. When he tried to get out Dmitry pulled a gun and shot him between the eyes and then shot Ani her mother and her sister. Ani is now in the WITSEC program and as the trial date nears she makes a decision that reveals her whereabouts to the mob.
Deputy Marshall Daniel Parker has been her contact for the last year and when he calls to tell her it is time to get ready to go for the trial, she tells him what she has done. He immediately heads out to get her and see her to New York. The mob has covered the airports and they have people hunting her as they speak. Daniel barely gets to her in time and then they have to dodge bullets. Just getting to New York is a major undertaking.
Daniel knows he is not supposed to get involved with his witness, nevertheless, he finds himself falling for Ani. Ani has been in love with Daniel for some time. The action is intense, the story is good, and I liked the romance. However, there was a bit more bedroom action than I needed. If it gets a bit too hot you can skip a few pages like I did. Still it's a good story and a good read.

A sexy and suspenseful Moving Target, January 5, 2008
This review is from: Moving Target (Mass Market Paperback)
Ani is in the witness protection program for witnessing the murder of her family by the Russian mafia. Her father had been involved in the Russian mafia and was trying to get out. Ani came across documents that she was going to confront her father with but ended up seeing them shoot her father, mother, and sister. They also set a fire to their house and Ani was badly burned on her back in addition to the shot to her shoulder.
Fast forward to two years later and Ani is living in a small town and has a new identity. She is waiting to testify against the Russian mafia who murdered her family. One phone call to her past life puts her life in danger and the Russian mafia will stop at nothing to see that she never testifies.
Her guardian angel is her Deputy Marshal, Daniel, who has been there for since the beginning. He calls her weekly to see how she is doing and they have become close friends. He is there for her when everything comes crashing down and is there to get her safely to the trial only a few days away. They can't ignore the chemistry between them and fall for each other even under the circumstances.
The story keeps you suspense as the Deputy Marshals try to get Ani back to NY to testify. They keep running into obstacles and danger at every turn and they are kept on the run until the trial. Will they survive so she can testify and get justice for her family?
The action is non stop and the chemistry is hot between the Ani and Daniel. It is a forbidden love that could cost Daniel his career. He is supposed to be protecting Ani not getting emotionally and physically involved with her. She is going to disappear with a new identity after the trial is over. What will happen to them after this is all over?
Cheyenne McCray gives us an exciting romantic suspense novel that you will definitely want to pick up.

Okay, February 29, 2008
This review is from: Moving Target (Mass Market Paperback)
Exciting story line but I found I got tired of such lines as "You smell like almonds and woman" or he smelled like such and such and man. Too many romance authors overuse such lines. Anyway it made me roll my eyes and think, "not again". This book was a bit too trite for me.
