No Place to Hide

What an adrenaline-packed book! Lisa Harris really knows how to write a book that can't be put down. From page one, the heroine Ellie is on the run and so many twists and turns in the plot have her running til the very end. Anyone who enjoys a fast-paced contemporary suspense novel with an inspirational thread will love this book. Ellie is a strong, determined, yet tender-hearted artist who has witnessed her father's murder and is on the run. The government has tried to fake her death and funeral so that she can be kept hidden but those who were involved in her father's murder is determined to find her. Ryan is a childhood acquaintance, the son of Ellie's deceased father's close friend, who is sent by his father to bring Ellie home and protect her. Ryan is the stereotypical strong, resourceful, protective hero but what is not stereotypical about his character is that he is an ex-Navy diver, not a macho SEAL or combat warrior. Sure, he can fight but his expertise is not in combat and his indecision in battle strategy and combat actually made him more real and endearing. Their romance is tender and their friendship as they reconnect is sweet. Lisa Harris is one of my favorite Love Inspired Suspense authors and every single one of her books is a fun journey! I received a copy of the book from the author/publisher and was under no obligation to post a review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.

No Place to Hide by Lisa Harris is a Love Inspired Suspense book and it definitely lives up to the suspense label! A quick read, it is riveting, edge-of-the-seat action that starts in the first pages and doesn't let up until the last page is turned. After her father's murder, Ellie is hiding from the drug cartel in Brazil, when she gets a call telling her to run. She's been found. Ryan has been sent to bring her safely home but Ellie has other priorities. The adventure begins. The book with its breath-holding scenes gets the adrenaline flowing and yet there are poignant situations that touch the heart as well. The author has written a plot that crackles with energy and tells an entertaining and suspenseful story. And she is very good about who the ‘leak' in the investigation into the cartel is. Keeps you guessing right to the end. Through all the action and drama, a thread of faith in a God who cares is woven into the story, reminding readers that God can be relied on for strength and wisdom in times of stress. I can't wait to read more of this author's books. I received a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
