About this book:
“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”

My
personal Rating- 
One thing I’ve noticed about Lisa
Harris’ books is that she includes red herrings into her plots. “Is this
break-in connected to this case the main characters are working on, or a
different case from the past, or could it just be random?” It’s an odd note,
but I’ve enjoyed that because it has me questioning with the main characters
and trying to figure out how it’s connected.
I thought this was a really
interesting suspense premise and I liked how the “romance” of this “romantic
suspense” book wasn’t heavy. This is more due to the reason that it’s a trilogy
about Madison and Jonas, and therefore, is slower in that regard. But,
regardless, I like the slower pace then them falling in love with each other
within 300 or so pages. I was quite satisfied by the ending and am very much
looking forward to reading the last book in the series next April.
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
from the Publisher (Revell) for this honest review.
