Easy Target Audiobook Summary

AEGIS: an elite team of ex-military men who will do anything for their country…and their women

Fighting to clear her brother of murder, freelance reporter Sassy Smith is suddenly kidnapped and thrown into a truck with other women who are about to be sold…or worse. When she sees an opportunity for escape Sassy takes it, but she may have just jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

Former Marine Bryan Fisher (aka Hollywood) is no stranger to dangerous situations, or to his best friend’s little sister. When he rescues Sassy, Bryan is determined to keep her safe…if he can keep his hands off of her. Because Sassy is all grown up and not at all like the girl he used to know. But he’s got bigger problems. And with enemies coming at them from every corner, Bryan and Sassy will need to work together if they’re going to survive.

P.J. Ochlan is the narrator of Easy Target audiobook that was written by Kay Thomas

Kay Thomas didn't grow up burning to be a writer. She wasn't even much of a reader until fourth grade. That's when her sister read The Black Stallion aloud to her. For hours Kay was enthralled–shipwrecked and riding an untamed horse across desert sand. Then tragedy struck. Her sister lost her voice. But Kay couldn't wait to hear what happened in the story–so she picked up that book, finished reading it herself, and went in search of more adventures at the local library.

Today Kay lives in Dallas with her husband, two children, and a shockingly spoiled Boston terrier. Her award-winning novels have been published internationally.

**I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**A lot of these reviews say to read the previous books before reading this one. I did not but wish that I would have. I jumped right in at Easy Target I was somewhat lost concerning some of the back story but I was able to easily follow along through the rest of the story. So heed the advise and read book #1 and #2 first. Sassy Smith was kidnapped trying to prove her brother's innocence in the disappearance of his girlfriend. This leads to a Mexican Cartel, almost being sold with a truck full of woman and Bryan, her brother's best friend. Sassy has had an interesting with Bryan, he's the last person she wants to help save her. This was a very fast paced story. Loved the action from page one and it didn't stop throughout. The suspense made this a page turner. Adding #1 and #2 to the TBR to find out what I missed!

Fabulous! There better be another one after this! Bryan is a huge pain in the ass but he compliments Sassy so well that its perfect.

Title: Easy Target (Elite Ops # 3)Author: Kay ThomasRelease Date: June 9, 2015Published by: Avon ImpulseSource: ARC Given by Author and Tour OrganizerARA'S NOTE:It has never been my thing to read a book that is part of a series that I haven't been following. I somehow feel like I'm an intruder who does not have a clue who the people she's reading about are. That was my exact hesitation when I was offered to review Easy Target, but me being me, I love a good action along with awesome romance. So I took the bull by its horns and said to hell with it.SYNOPSIS:AEGIS: an elite team of ex-military men who will do anything for their country…and their women.Fighting to clear her brother of murder, freelance reporter Sassy Smith is suddenly kidnapped and thrown into a truck with other women who are about to be sold…or worse. When she sees an opportunity for escape Sassy takes it, but she may have just jumped from the frying pan into the fire.Former Marine Bryan Fisher (aka Hollywood) is no stranger to dangerous situations, or to his best friend’s little sister. When he rescues Sassy, Bryan is determined to keep her safe…if he can keep his hands off of her. Because Sassy is all grown up and not at all like the girl he used to know. But he’s got bigger problems. And with enemies coming at them from every corner, Bryan and Sassy will need to work together if they’re going to survive.CHARACTER BACKGROUND:Sassy Smith is a stubborn, passionate, and strong woman. She's been used to doing things on her own with a "me against the world" attitude, so she's not used to taking other people in consideration. She's been in love with her brother's best friend since she was a teenager but she has no expectations for them in the future...especially since they're struggling to survive the present.Brian Fisher has a lot of issues; he's emotionally detached, mentally scarred, and he's always been self-deprecating. He feels like he would never be good enough for anyone, especially Sassy, the only girl he's ever loved.TO LOVE:I've started reading this book about two weeks ago, but a couple dozen pages in I dropped it. I felt detached to the characters mostly because they've already been introduced in preceding installments of the series. But yesterday, I half-heartedly picked it up again because I had to write a review. A curious thing happened -- I ended up loving it! Given, I felt like I had no clue as to what they're talking abput, but that's my fault completely due to the fact that I haven't bothered reading the two books that came before it. Anyway, when the action started that's when I got really engaged. The descriptions weren't all that graphic or specific, but one can use his/her imagination to picture the scene so that wasn't a problem. The story was just really exciting, and there are loads of conspiracy happening that you don't know what's right anymore. I also loved how character got hurt or died, not because I'm an antagonist, but because it's realistic. Other books usually have the male leads come off as though they're invinsible or something, and a story that shows how men get hurt...that's really good.TO BLEH:I felt like Sassy did...nothing. She is very hard-headed and she does things on a whim without thinking of its repurcussions. She's a very complicated woman (not in a food way) and that's saying something considering I'm of the same gender. The growth between Sassy and Brian was also lacking. The ending didn't really satisfy me, and I'm not talking about the fact that there would be a part 4, but because things felt rushed between the two leads. Like, "that's the ending?"SUMMARY:This is an action-packed, conspiracy-laden, and sizzle-squeezed book. It's exciting and engaging, however I recommend that you read all other books in the series first. Do not make my mistake. I bestow 4 stars to you, Easy Target. *wink*

If you love reading about danger, conspiracies and non-stop action, then you’ll definitely love Easy Target! The story literally begins with action that had me on edge, reading very quickly to find out what happens next.Sassy Smith is a freelance reporter chasing a story from Mexico to Africa, a story that could lead to the exoneration and release of her brother from a Mexican jail, when she gets kidnapped. Her brother’s best friend and former marine, Bryan Fisher, who was already in Africa jumps in to rescue her and now it’s a race against the faceless bad guys to get to safety and figure out what’s going on. Both Sassy and Bryan have been in love with each other for a long time, but Bryan would never betray his best friend by getting involved with his sister but and with the heightened emotions from the danger they both face, keeping their hands off each other becomes increasingly difficult.For me, the fun in reading romantic suspense is the action, mystery, danger and conspiracies and I got all of that in Easy Target. The action really is exciting and so realistic and I loved it! With a mystery that spreads out in several books and a conspiracy that has the characters on their toes as race from continent to continent, Ms. Thomas does a great job keeping the reader engaged.However, I had an issue with the characters. Sassy and Bryan trying to survive danger worked just fine for me, but Sassy and Bryan trying to navigate their love lives did not do it for me. Sassy is very impulsive and stubborn, prone to rushing headlong into situations that put them all in danger. Bryan for the most part was hung up on the fact that he was not good enough for Sassy and could not damage his relationship with her brother by getting involved with her and the resolution of their romance left me wanting more. That in no way takes away from my enjoyment of the book and I’ll say again that Easy Target was a great read.My only advice to any reader is: while each book can be read as a standalone, to get the full experience of the series I recommend reading the books in order (exactly what I should have done!).Source: I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Oh My! I'm completely new to the Elite Obs Series and now need to read the first two books as soon as is possible! This is an exciting, action packed romantic suspense novel I read as a standalone.Sassy Smith may be tiny, but what she lacks in height she gains in attitude. She has a pretty smart mouth and can't resist baiting the guy she's had a crush on since she was fourteen years old. Only she uses this tactic as a smoke screen to deflect away from the effect an incident in high school impacted on her life.After his best friend's kid sister dared him to kiss her, Bryan “Hollywood” Fisher left Mississippi and joined the Marines. Now twelve years later, he's back to help and protect Sassy as she tries to uncover evidence to gain her brother's release from a Mexican jail for a crime he didn't commit. Only Sassy is all grown up now...The tentative romance between Sassy and Bryan isn't the driving force of the plot – more of an enhancement. Flitting from Africa to the US, the action packed story is full of suspense, conspiracy, deception and hope. Our protagonists whilst incredibly attracted to each other, really have a problem communicating their feelings for one another. Both looking for excuses for not being together instead of finding a way of making a personal relationship work. That is once they are both out of danger and have achieved what they set out to do. Somehow, against the odds they manage to do just that.I absolutely loved this book, but found that at times I was struggling to keep track with all the information; there are a lot of details crammed within the pages and wonder if I would have benefited by reading the first two books first, if only to familiarise myself with the supporting characters and their backgrounds? This doesn't detract too much from the overall enjoyment and I'll definitely be catching up with the series and other works by this author.4 stars

Posted on What I'm ReadingI have been finding myself enjoying this series. When we last left off in Personal Target Sassy Smith was kidnapped, and Bryan decided to go after her and save her. In essence this is where we pick up in Easy Target. Oh boy. This was pretty good. Okay, I never understood why Sassy always got underneath Bryan's skin, but it was finally made clear in Easy Target. I always thought he just didn't like reporters, nope it's a bit more complicated than that. As we know Sassy has been working on clearing her brother's name, and Bryan just wanted to make sure she stayed safe. After all he was best friend to her brother. Yes! We have a best friend after sister romance. However, Bryan doesn't want to have feeling for Sassy, because of being best friend with her brother. What do we? We run away from out feelings. Yet, he gets himself in the mix of things and feelings run high. Other than the whole romance thing, we still have a problem that needs to be solve and the danger level is kicked up a bit. Bad guys lurking around every corner. Easy Target is a pretty good read and I was surprise by the ending (meaning the epilogue). I don't know if there is going to be another story. I do hope there is for Sassy's brother. Anyway, this is a fast pace action book book with best friend is in love with sister romance. I know I'm glossing over a lot, but there is a lot that might be given away to the story. I know I have been know to get so excited to give too much away. Pretty darn good story.

4.7 starIf you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) firstHard Target (Elite Ops, #1)Personal Target: An Elite Ops Novel (Elite Ops, #2)I enjoyed this book by Kay. This book includes passion, laughs, heartache, kidnappings, murder, betrayal, explosions, car accidents and a few gun fights. Everything you need for a great suspense story!!Sassy was kidnapping while trying to find her brother’s girlfriend. She will do anything to help her brother get out of jail. He brother is going to be charged with his girlfriend’s murder if Sassy can’t solve the case. Bryan is going to rescue his best friend’s sister. He will get her back home and be able to help in the investigation against his best friend. But when the bad guys keep finding them he wonders if he can trust anyone. Can he leave Sassy alone when she needs protection or should he keep her close and allow her to help him investigate what is going on and who is behind the mess they are now involved in. Can he keep his hands to himself while they are on the run? Or will they both be taken down and her brother kept in jail for something he is not guilty of? Lots of twists & turns in this fast paced story. Love Bryan he is sweet and totally alpha. Sassy is funny and stubborn. Love Kay's writing style. She knows how to keep a reader invested in the story. You never know what is going to happen next which keeps you turning the pages until the book is completed!!I recommend this book.

The action starts on page 1 and continues non stop till 'the end'. Book 3 can be read stand alone from the other two but I highly recommend reading them as well. Sassy is aptly named. Too smart and daring for her own good, she really needs a keeper - and Bryan aka Hollywood is just the man for the job. Chasing a story on human trafficking, she finds herself kidnapped with little hope of escaping. But Sassy is not one to give up without a fight and manages to escape when the truck carrying the latest load has a flat. Bryan is hot on her trail and finds her as she is being mauled by three hoodlums...and that is in the first few pages. Someone very powerful wants Sassy and her storied buried for good and they are not done trying to reach that end. Train wrecks, bombs, drug cartels, car wrecks...and one mastermind determined not to loose the empire he has carefully built. I love Ms. Thomas's writing; her characters are very well developed, her stories fast paced and action filled, the romance hot and the complex storylines deftly woven. Definitely needs to be on your 'favorite author' list@

An enjoyable read, took me a few chapters to get into it, only because it pretty much picks up from where the second book left off. So I was trying to remember who these characters were, and why they are in Africa etc. However once I got going with the book I did get hooked, there was lots of suspense and action. Which I love, but the relationship between Sassy and Bryan got a little annoying for me, it had too much of a will they won't they thing going on, and it slightly ruined my enjoyment of the book for me. If your a fan of this series like me, you are sure to enjoy this but I would recommend the series to anyone who likes a good action, suspense story especially those by Cindy Gerard, Kaylea Cross or Katie Reus for example.

Great story! This book may be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend reading each novel in the order it was written for a true understanding of the overall story line.I have loved reading this series. The action and suspense is very well thought out and all the loose ends are tied up in this book. The action is perfectly paced and any down time is filled with the ever present attraction between Sassy and Bryan. I enjoyed the easy teasing between characters and loved the addition of Bear.
