Hitting the Mark by Jill Monroe

A fun and feisty romance

5 stars

Danni Ford comes from a long line of con-artists and no-hopers. But she’s bucking the family trend and trying to play it straight. When devilishly sexy Eric comes on the scene she finally feels like she’s found someone that makes being good, oh so bad.

But Eric isn’t quite as normal as he makes out and when Danni finds out she’s been played, then all bets are off. And just why shouldn’t she get something pleasurable out of this particular con? Her revenge will be to tie up her good for nothing boyfriend until she gets the truth from him…before he finds out all of her secrets.

This is the first book of Jill Monroe’s that I’ve read and it definitely won’t be the last. The story was fun, very fast paced, interesting and exciting. It had me hooked from the first page to the last and I couldn’t wait to read more.

Danni was a great character. Feisty and strong, she had a criminal past but still retained a lot of vulnerability over whether she deserved a second chance. Eric was a typical alpha male – strong, confident and in charge – the best kind of male to watch fall head over heels in love. I enjoyed their interactions and together they made a perfect couple. Their chemistry was scorching and as such, the sex scenes were very sexy and fun.

The book also had the secondary romance of Danni’s best friend, Cassie and the man who broke her heart back in high school, Dirk. The story of how they got back together because of their sex tape that ended up on the internet, was almost as good as the main story.

All in all, this was a well-written, interesting and fun story that I would recommend to those that enjoy a good Blaze romance. I will look out for more of Jill Monroe’s books in the future as this one is definitely worth 5 stars.
