US Marshal Madison
James may not be sure who shot her three months ago, but she does know
one thing--it's time to get back out into the field. When her partner,
Jonas Quinn, receives a message that a federal warrant just came in on a
man connected to a string of bank robberies, Madison jumps at the
chance to get back to work. What she and Jonas find is a bank robbery in
progress that's gone wrong--and things are about to get worse.
For
these bank robbers, it's never been just about the money. It's about
taking risks and adrenaline rushes, and getting caught is not part of
the game. When the suspects escape, Madison and Jonas must hunt them
down and bring them to justice before someone else--someone close to
them--gets hurt . . . or worse.
From Seattle to the San Juan
Islands, bestselling author Lisa Harris takes you on a nonstop chase
where feelings are complicated and failure isn't an option.
MY REVIEW: The "US Marshals Series" from bestselling and award-winning author Lisa Harris is a terrific, action-packed, inspirational contemporary romantic suspense series. I so enjoyed Book One, "The Escape", and I greatly looked forward to Book Two, "The Chase". In this second entry, Us Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn are on the trail of bank robbers who love the hormone-fueled high of the steal as much as they love the loot. Madison is recovering from being shot several months before, and Jonas, whose care for Madison has grown, is feeling very protective. Madison can't escape the memories of her husband's unsolved murder years earlier, yet she can't remember who shot her. She wants to solve her own personal mysteries as well as fulfill her duties as a US Marshal. Madison and Jonas are longtime professional acquaintances who have become a solid team who respect and rely on one another. They will need all of their special skills and personal fortitude to bring to justice these wily bank robbers who lead them on quite "the chase". Madison and Jonas are well-written characters, and the suspenseful tale is a top-notch thrill ride. The developing relationship between the two, as well as insights into their own vulnerabilities and the importance of faith in their lives, adds depth to the action-filled story line. I highly recommend this series, and I can't wait to read the next entry.

MY REVIEW: "The Escape" is Book One in the thrilling contemporary inspirational romance "US Marshals Series" from author Lisa Harris. When US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn are assigned to transport two dangerous prisoners via plane from Seattle to Denver, they have no ides that it will turn out to be a destiny-changing journey of a lifetime. Madison and Jonas had previously met several years prior when he was conducting task force training, and each of them had earned the respect of the other. At that time, Jonas was unaware that Madison was grieving the loss of her husband, Luke, an ER doctor who had been murdered. After five years, Madison is still haunted by the unsolved case of her husband's death--and each year someone unknown marks the anniversary of his murder with a black rose. Jonas has also experienced personal loss, and he has just returned to the Seattle area to start anew. The transport plane crashes during a turbulent storm over Idaho. The two pilots and one of the prisoners are all killed, leaving Madison and Jonas to track armed and deadly master criminal Damon Barrick through unfamiliar, rugged territory. It will take all of their skills, all of their faith, and a growing trust and reliance on each other to capture the wicked, wily felon. Author Lisa Harris has created compelling characters and given them an involving story line which had me reading "The Escape" all in one sitting. I look forward to further entries in this series, and I highly recommend it to lovers of inspirational romantic suspense.
