Customer Reviews

Edge-of-your-seat thriller

Deadly Intentions by Lisa Harris is a romantic suspense, edge-of-your-seat thriller. The story starts out with a murder and keeps you turning the pages until the very end. Research scientist Caitlyn Lindsey doesn’t believe that the deaths of her co-workers were accidents or random. She thinks that they knew something and were killed for as a result. The only person she can trust with her suspicions is Detective Josh Solomon, one of the victim’s husband. Together they uncover a sinister plot that could cost them their lives. Somebody high up doesn’t want their secret revealed and is willing to commit murder to keep them silent. Lisa knows how to keep you interested in a story. I stayed up way too late to finish this book. At times I was holding my breath, the suspense was so intense. I liked how the characters interacted with each other, complimenting not detracting. Their faith was mentioned but not overly, preachy. I definitely recommend you read Deadly Intentions. I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Kept Me on the Edge of My Seat

Lisa Harris has created yet another excellent romantic suspense novel. It kept me engaged throughout and I adored the two main characters (Josh and Caitlyn). I found them believable and likable. I wanted them to succeed in solving the mystery and to find their happily ever after with each other. The suspense part of the book was quite believable. I could see something like it happening. And, while you’ll know some of the bad guys before the book is over, there’s a traitor that I didn’t guess until the reveal. It kept me on the edge of my seat. It’s a great read for sure.

Suspense fiction at its finest

Ever since I read my first Lisa Harris book (Ghost Heart, written with Lynne Gentry) and was 'blown away' by it, I have eagerly awaited new releases from this author. Deadly intentions did not disappoint. It is razor-sharp action throughout, suspense that does not let up, and a sweet romance that gently unfolds as the story progresses. The characters are strong and complex and yet realistic and relatable, people you would want to be your friends (or not, in the case of the 'bad guys'). The plot has twists and turns that keep interest high and immediately draws you into the lives of Josh and Caitlyn. His wife's death could not be undone so why get involved with Caitlyn's suspicions? Caitlyn had always gone with the flow but now she'd be a fool if she thought things were going to end well. Will they let the hurts and sorrows of the past keep them from a future together, if they ever even made it out of the predicament they were in? Readers of romantic suspense will not want to miss Deadly Intentions--a marvelous example of adrenaline-laced fiction. I read a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
