About this book:
“How
do you catch a fugitive who has nothing to lose?
US Marshals Madison James and Jonas
Quinn have orders to transport two high-profile prisoners across the country on

With both pilots and one prisoner

While I’ve enjoyed Lisa Harris’
prior stand-alone books, I was really looking forward to the start of this new
series. This may have not been my favorite by the author, but it was still
suspenseful and interesting. I was happy to notice that there was a lot less awkwardly
timed romance parts in this novel. (An example of what I mean would be the one
you see often in romantic suspense books of “we just finally caught the bad guy
and now we kiss!” *cue fade to black screen*. There was one moment I wanted to
tell Madison and Jonas, “hey, eyes on the stake out! not each other!”, but only
one moment compared to the book being filled with them, was a nice change of
pace. This is probably due to this being the first book of a series.) I wish there
had been a more faith content, but I enjoyed the discussion about being called
to be in the law enforcement field that Madison and Jonas had.
“The Escape” was a good suspense book and I
look forward to reading the rest of the series as they release.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this
author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
*I received this book for free
