Targeted

Shadows Landing: The Townsends, Book 2

By: Kathleen Brooks

Narrated by: Eric G. Dove

Hunter Townsend loves his new home in the small town of Shadows Landing. It’s his sanctuary when he comes home from a mission as part of his Special Forces team. Maggie, the infuriating, monogram loving, bright color wearing, cuter than she should be woman, who loves to tease him was the only issue in Shadows Landing. Until a mission goes wrong . . .

Maggie Bell is an Olympic sharpshooter and is getting ready to go for the gold once again. She loved nothing more than letting the handsome, yet cocky Hunter put his foot in his mouth over and over again by not telling him she was a better shot than he was. He just kept digging that hole and she just kept smiling. While everyone groaned when Maggie and Hunter started verbally sparring, Maggie loved it. She’d earn Hunter’s respect when he saw her win gold. That is, if anyone finally tells him she’s in the Olympics.

But that all seems inconsequential when Shadows Landing becomes a target. Now will Hunter and Maggie put their verbal sparring aside and find the threat before they end up in the crosshairs?

a great book

this book hits all your emotions. it has mystery, romance, humor. I love this author and narrator.

Love each chapter

I love everything character and every chapter. I love the previous story characters get mentioned and I love the mystery she leaves for us.

Good shot

Kathleen Brooks is great at developing characters. That continues to show and she did a good job of incorporating real world events so the adventure is believable and exciting. The disarming of the bombs was just super simplistic and how real is it for Maggie alone in a whole busy stadium to hear and react to the shout of bomb?

Birth Control Desperately Needed

While the overwhelming majority of the story was engrossing and entertaining, Shadows Landing is in desperate need of a family planning clinic to provide birth control products and lessons.

When a soldier has EIGHT children he could not afford to support and was forced to take on dangerous missions for the additional income, I wanted to slap him silly. He was rarely home to spend time with his young children; evidently he was just home long enough to get his wife pregnant again.

This series promotes community service, friendship, kindness, self-sufficiency and loyalty. I am disappointed that it does NOT promote responsible adult sexual activity and family planning, in spite of all the options available with modern medicine.

PS, Glad the author included 2 lesbian characters from her Kentucky series, proving that Southerns can be open-minded.

Another awesome read!

I love Kathleen Brooks books. This series is awesome and I can wait for the next one! The books grab your attention from the beginning and keeps your attention to the last word.
