Book Description:
Teagan Tate has everything he’s ever wanted, but despite his wild success as a musician and his wild popularity with the ladies, he’s lonely. Meaningless hook-ups are getting old. There is one woman he’s interested in, but she won’t give him the time of day.
Maria Ruiz has no time for men like Teag – men with a revolving bedroom door who are too cocky for their own good. Sure, he has the body of a Greek god and a sexy Aussie accent, but as head of security for his band, Maria won’t risk her professional reputation. And as a woman who’s been there and done that, she won’t risk her heart.
Things take a deadly turn when Teag is the sole surviving witness to a cartel murder. Still recovering from his injuries, he’s forced into hiding with his sexy bodyguard. As their feelings grow into something unexpected and wonderful, a ruthless killer continues to hunt Teag.
Maria and Teag must rely on each other to stay out of his crosshairs, or they risk losing each other and their chance at love.

Moving Target is a bit of a departure from the types of novels I usually read and the first of Maggie Clare's books that I have picked out so I went into it not really knowing what to expect. This book is also the fourth in the Tactical Solutions International series, but that wasn't a problem for me as it was its own self contained thriller with Clare briefly sketching in relevant information from the previous instalments where necessary. I hazarded a pretty good guess early on at there ultimately being a happy ending for the antagonistic pair, Teagan and Maria, but I was unprepared for just how exciting - and sexy - a ride it was going to be to get them there.
I totally fell in love with Teagan myself and Maria is such a great woman to spend time with. She is tough and capable, but not at the expense of her whole personality, and has the genuine respect of her colleagues which was good to see. Perhaps there was a bit too much in the way of repeated denials in the early chapters as seemingly everyone else could tell Teagan and Maria were drawn to each other. Their repartee is fun to read and I appreciated their genuine sincerity later on too.
I was gripped by Moving Target from the first shot being fired and couldn't put the book aside for a moment which surprised me as I often find thrillers to be too implausible for my tastes. Clare pitched and paced this one so well though that I was happy to stick with it and actually devoured the whole novel in a day. Now I'm tempted to backtrack and pick up those earlier books in the series too!
