I really should stop reading suspenseful books after midnight, shouldn’t I?!

Well, anyway, this book kept me up until well into the morning, and man was it good!

Dealing with topics I don’t normally see in fiction I liked finding out more about the characters and what they do.

The suspense was SPOT ON, keeping me turning the page desperate to find out what had happened.

The plot took me on twists and turns through things I didn’t expect and some I did, but I didn’t call most or everything.

The side characters were just as interesting as the main characters, and I enjoyed the ending.

I am looking forward to more from Lisa Harris. ( )

This book is a wonderful combination of mystery with a whole lot of suspense plus a little biomedical twist. Detective Josh Solomon loses his wife in a home invasion gone bad....or did he? Learning to live with his loss is much more difficult than he expects, but the incarceration of the perpetrators allows him some closure.

Caitlyn Lindsey, MedTECH researcher, is being stalked for reasons she can’t even imagine. The twists and turns in this incredible story just don’t stop until the very end and then you still wonder if they really answered all the questions! Murder, questionable vaccine trials, leaky vaccines, poisonings, cars run off the road, shots fired....the edge of your seat action will keep you guessing. Who really is behind all of this?

Published by Revell and Baker Publishing Group, this one is not to be missed! The comments and impressions are my own and were in no way solicited. ( )

This is one of the best Christian suspense/mystery/romance I have read in a long while. I was hoping there would be a next book to read about Josh and Caitlyn. Highly recommend! ( )

Lisa Harris has long been a must-read author for me. Her romantic suspense keeps me turning the pages. Deadly Intentions was no exception. This one is a book club selection and I anticipate a lively discussion. There’s plenty to like — fast-paced action, an intriguing and timely plot, and characters that capture the heart. It gets a recommended rating from me.

Main characters Caitlyn Lindsey and Josh Solomon are brought together when the facts around the murder of Josh’s wife a year before and two other deaths seem to point to nefarious goings-on at the lab where Caitlyn works. The connection is confirmed as Caitlyn and Josh both have targets on their backs. As they work together to uncover just what is going on, danger escalates. The two don’t know who to trust, and this reader agreed! I suspected everyone had a hand in the attacks and murders. While a chemistry develops between Caitlyn and Josh, I found their reticence to become romantically involved was good for them as characters and for the book’s story trajectory. The two had a lot of baggage to work through as well as bullets to dodge! 😉 I have to note that there is a virus/vaccine angle to the book, making it a timely read. (I didn’t find it triggering though.) Trust and abandonment are two themes that run throughout the book. Both characters are believers and their faith grows with the trials they face.

Deadly Intentions was a fast-paced and intense read. I could not put it down! Another winner from Harris.

Recommended.

In the exciting, nail-biting romantic suspense of Deadly Intentions, Lisa Harris prompts plenty of questions of who can be trusted. Fans of the genre are sure to enjoy the dramatic story.

Research scientist Caitlyn Lindsey suspects something nefarious connects the tragedies happening around her, and with her life clearly at stake, thanks to a hit-and-run, she has nowhere else to turn but to Detective Josh Solomon. Together, they determine to uncover the truth, and what follows is, of course, intense, intriguing, and full of surprises.

I enjoyed Deadly Intentions. The plot kept me guessing, the characters kept me rooting for the truth, and the spiritual message left me feeling uplifted.
