review 1: Veiled Target : A Veiler's Novel Book 1 by Robin Bielman is a 2014 Samhain publication. What is a “Veiler”? Well, my understanding of it is they are shifters, “Wolfen”. Trey is a Veiler ( actually, there is more to his heritage, but I don't want to say too much) and the first man in five years that has Tess feeling “the tingles”. A blind date neither of them of them were looking forward to answers the oft asked question- Do you believe in fate? Well, as it happens, the next target assigned to Tess by P.I.E is a Veiler named “Hugh”. Tess is going through some problems with her job and if she messes up one more time she is out, not just fired, but out, as in DEAD. So, just her luck she finds out her blind date is her target. Hugh has a lot on his shoul... moreders as the leader of the Night Runners and Trey is his missing friend. Tess is a complication he doesn't need right now. Once it's clear that she is on a blind date with her intended target, Tess knows she should take advantage of the situation, after all this is her very last chance, but she just can't seem to make the kill.Tess is a girl that has known real love and real heartbreak and tragedy. As a result she has had to really toughen up, especially if she ever wanted to avenge her fiance's death. Over time she has learned to kill without emotion or conscience. Nothing could have prepared her for the situation she found herself in with Hugh. No one had ever discovered her cover but this time she is bound to be found out.So what will happen to her then? Well, Tess will have to agree to help Hugh find his fellow Night Runners. But, it's catch 22 for Tess, she can let Hugh live and have her boss eliminate her, or she will have to take a chance on Hugh despite the fact that some lines are blurred, like some pack members are good and others not and Tess doesn't have a choice but the help both the good and the bad if she hopes to get out of this alive.Tess is in a “can't win” situation and it all comes down to the wire. Hugh, The Veilers, The Wolfen, her lust for vengeance, the lives of those she loves and cares about against her very own. Can she trust Hugh? Can he trust her?Veiled Target is a steamy paranormal romance with shades of urban fantasy. Ladies, you will really like Hugh and you will feel for the tough position Tess is in. I did feel like the book got off to a slow ,slow start. At first, the dialogue seemed forced and the action felt kind of cheesy and over the top. But, by say, chapter seven the kinks had been worked out a little and the story flowed much more smoothly. It didn't take long before I found myself caring about the characters and pulling for them to live through the war they were fighting and make it to the other side in one peace and with a HEA. I have not read a paranormal or Urban Fantasy in a little while, so this was a nice change of pace. Overall this one is a 3.5 rounded to 4.
review 2: Tess Damon is an assassin whose job it is to kill Veilers -- or non-humans -- who wish people harm. But she has just botched two jobs, and she only has one more chance to prove herself before she is eliminated, too. Her new target: Hugh Langston, leader of a local Wolfen pack. Only problem? Hugh might not be quite as evil as his dossier makes him out to be. Which means he may not deserve to die. In order to find out, Tess must investigate, which requires sticking close to the sexy shape-shifter. Hugh will do anything to keep his pack safe, even if it means striking a bargain with the gorgeous -- and fearless -- Tess. But Tess isn't the only threat to Hugh's pack or his life. Because someone has kidnapped his second-in-command, and it's up to Hugh to rescue him -- with a little help from the capable Tess, of course.From the start, this book was filled with action and intrigue, pausing only long enough for some serious sparks between Tess and Hugh. The mystery of who had it in for Hugh kept me guessing all the way through to the very satisfying end. I can't wait to pick up the next in the series. less
