I received an ARC in exchanged for an honest review.Have you ever read a book that even after you finished it you stopped and stared into space wondering “What the Hell?” Yep, this was my current state after finishing Target this. So before I get ahead of myself let's start at the beginning of the story.What had me captivated about this book was the story within a story.Lucas an erotica author used real live muses to help write his stories. Lucas was dominating, intelligent and a guy that didn't promise you hearts and flowers. I loved that Lily told some of his stories from a number of his books. It gave an insight into how his mind worked at times. I was on the edge of my seat expecting him to live out what he wrote in his books however, you will have to read it to find out what Lucas is really about.Then we have Autumn an innocence librarian who was not exposed to the world that Lucas was trying to show her. I wanted her to open her eyes and smarten up a little.I honestly enjoyed the whirlwind of events that happened within this story. I was constantly guessing, trying to read faster thinking the story will run away from me LOL. Some characters surprised me a lot and others had me guessing their involvement in the entire plot. Lily has an excellent way of writing, I would even say it flowed like poetry.What I didn't like about this story so much: I felt at the beginning the story was very slow. I understand that at times a story has to build in order for you to get to know the characters, etc. However, I found it really hard to keep reading in the first couple chapters. I thought that the sex scenes were just ok. I was looking for DARK and I didn't feel like I got that at all. Target This seemed more of a thriller to me but it was still good.
