On Target

Although they still love one another, neither can compromise as she wants to ride the globe teaching impoverished children while he wants a picket fence. Thus US Air Force Sergeant Shane "Vegas" O'Riley is delivering the divorce papers to his wife Sherry on a tiny Caribbean island that he finds to his shock is under a terrorist attack, which is repelled. He vows to keep his soon to be ex-wife and her two preadolescent adopted daughters Cara and Mally safe especially upon learning of a terrorist cell operating from a nearby unknown island. Instinctively Shane feels he needs to linger nearby to insure his family remains safe. Joint Chiefs of Staff Director of Operations General Renshaw assigns him duty that enables him to do so. He soon proves to be a prophet as the terrorists are close by and his family is a prime target. ON TARGET is an exhilarating military romantic suspense thriller that never slows down yet contains a second chance at love and a secondary first chance at love (starring his friend Derek and her friend, Keisha) subplots. Although the O'Riley pair too often whines over the failure of their marriage, Catherine Mann provides an exciting tale in which terrorism comes home to roost. Harriet Klausner

Catherine Mann never lets me down and ON TARGET proves why she's a brilliant romantic suspense author. This is another one of her military stories that weaves action around strong 3D characters within a tight suspense-filled plots. The excitement rolls with razor-sharp pacing. I've learned to clear my schedule to read her books, because walking away in the middle isn't an option. ON TARGET is a breathless ride that will have you waiting "impatiently" for the next one.
