For twelve long years, I’ve breathed, I’ve bled for only one thing…

Revenge.

Four men took something from me, something which can never be replaced. That one night changed the lives of so many and taught me that monsters are real.

But I also learned I’m the biggest monster of them all.

Nothing and no one will stand in my way of redemption because those men…they’re now three. The fourth—he is the reason they call me Bullseye. They can run, but sooner or later, I’ll find them, just as I did with their friend. They’re already dead…they just don’t know it yet.

My plan was simple until I met her. A fierce tiger who had the power to break my heart. Lucky for me…she can’t break what’s already broken. I am no longer a man because the world is a jungle, and we’re all just animals—ready to tear one another apart.

What I thought about Bullseye

After over ten years of incarceration that began at the young age of seventeen, Bull (aka Bullseye) has been released from prison.  He's on a mission -- not to walk the straight and narrow path, but to get revenge on the four people who's actions put him in prison. I have to admit that perhaps the circumstances warranted some sort of revenge but what Bull has in mind will put him back in prison ... or worse.

Lily, aka Tiger Lily is an exotic dancer. When Bull gets a job at the Pink Oyster where she dances, she's immediately drawn to his tatted up bad boy looks and his mysterious demeanor.  This may end up being her downfall as they play out their kinks with each other.  Their on-again / off-again relationship really pulled me into the story.

The ending of this first book in the duet exposes some incredible coincidences (or are they? I'm not sure yet) and really sheds a lot of doubt on the longevity of Bull and Tiger's relationship.  There's quite a few unresolved issues by the end of the first book that had me scratching my head wondering how things could ever work out between these two characters who seem to actually be perfect for each other.  Things get quite steamy with between Bull and Tiger but there are many obstacles in their way to their happily-ever-after.  I'm really interested in reading how this story resolves some of these issues. 

So overall, a good start to the duet. Bullseye sets up some very difficult situations for the finale, and I just loved that about it. I'm still not quite sure how I feel about Bull and most of the time, I'm thinking Tiger Lily should just pack up and move away, so that makes it all the more fun to see how Monica James is going to wrap all of this up.
