After being widowed at a young age, Jade Hadley is tired of her celibate existence and is determined to add a little romance and sex into her life again. When her deceased husband’s, sexy best friend admits his long time attraction to her, her entire world is thrown off kilter.Security expert David McIntyre is in love with Jade, and has been from practically the moment they met. Unfortunately for him, that was the week she married his best friend. For years, he’s stayed silent, giving her time to mourn. When he discovers she’s dating again, all bets are off. When someone targets her to die he realizes he has more problems than he bargained for. Seducing her isn’t the problem, convincing her that what they have together isn’t purely physical however, is. It might even prove to be a bigger challenge than trying to keep her alive.Tempting Target was a quick morning read. It was pretty average reading for the most part, not bad but not great either. I do enjoy friend to lover stories but this was just missing something. Not sure what.There's a little action, there's a little more steamy sex and there is a lot of feeling. While we know what David is after from the get go I think the way Jade's character progressed was close to reality. Being a young window cannot be easy and I found her inner turmoil realistic and frustrating, though when trying to place myself in her shoes I'm a bit more understanding about where her heart is.
