When I was little I had this book that was a collection of fairy tales and folklore (I know it's basically the same thing) But I remember reading one called Bluebeard and even then being the weird child that I was, I was always fascinated by the story. Okay, so you're probably wondering where I'm going with this. The two stories are in no way the same, but I did get that same feeling when I read Target This by Lily White, Lucas is my modern day version of Bluebeard! Well at least the version I read :) This is my second book by Lily White and I would definitely say that this my favourite!Yes I know I do it every time I read a 5 Star book but I'm giving this one 6 Stars! I harp on about beautiful words and amazing characters and an intense alpha male, who I love. Well this is definitely that and more... But Lily White style. When reading reading a Lily White book you'll need a few things.1. An open mind.2. Your thinking cap.3. A plush toy for when you go to bed. One you cuddle and the type that come with batteries.4. and lastly: That craving for a happy ending, you might want to let that go for the duration of the book.Autumn Cleary, is a librarian living in a small town. She's a prude, she likes reading books that leave you with that feel good glow. She thinks erotica is a waste of time, and is embarrassed her library has a section dedicated to the genre. She maybe a prude but she's also confident, witty and she was a very likable heroine! When Dark Erotica author, Lucas Bates moves to her town and starts doing his research at her library she quite literally enraged!Lucas Bates, is an author who writes about the darker subjects in life. He's fascinated by the workings of the mind of a serial killer, rapist and the like.It was the calm predators that interested me the most. The kind that were silent in their crimes; that slipped in like a gentle breeze, securing the target and disappearing before anybody knew something was amiss.When he steps into the town and into Autumn life, he literally turn her life upside down. He's determined to make her his next conquest and will do whatever he needs to do to make that a reality. Autumn's pristine life slowly starts unraveling and she finds a haven with the one man she swore she would never expose herself to.Her walls come tumbling down and what's left is a carnal creature ready to do whatever Lucas asks.If someone asked me I would called it, "A blend of gothic thriller and dark erotica" I also don't want to forget about two of my favourite secondary characters Sarah and Adam.I feel like I should be giving everyone tips,don't do this, don't do that. Pay attention to that bit, but by doing that I'd be taking away your enjoyment.
