Exciting Romantic Suspense!
5 out of 5 stars
Connie Saunders - 4 years ago
I've come to expect thrilling romantic suspense when I begin a new Lisa Harris book and The Escape is certainly no exception! Shortly after this story begins, there is a plane crash that leaves two U.S. Marshals struggling to stay alive while trying to find the escaped fugitive who has also apparently survived the crash. Over a period of one week, Madison James and Jonas Quinn maneuver dangerous terrain and travel across several states, as they feverishly work to prevent Damon Barrick from killing again. They also find that their reliance on each other has added a new element to their professional relationship. Are they experiencing something that might prove to be their biggest challenge yet? Harris has an unique talent for creating scenarios that seem impossible but she always makes them work. She also creates realistic characters that we all can relate to. Both Madison and Jonas have suffered painful losses and neither of them are looking for another personal relationship, but yet, they still seem so perfect together! How can they not accept the happiness that could be waiting for them? The Escape is the first book in Harris's new series and I'm so excited to see what is next in this US Marshals series! If you love heart-pounding adventure and romantic suspense with a faith element woven throughout the story, you will want to read The Escape. I guarantee that you won't be able to put it down! I received a copy of this book from the publisher but I was under no obligation to provide a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
I would give it more stars if i could!

WOW!! What a great start to a new series! US Marshal Madison was a great, strong female character who works with co-worker Jonas while on a manhunt for an escaped killer. I enjoyed the thrilling ride from beginning to end as they worked together night and day to figure out what the fugitive was thinking and where he was going. I felt like I was watching an action movie! There is also a side story of the death of Madison's police officer husband and whether it was a random or intentional shooting. This brought an additional element of suspense to the story line. Both characters were very likeable and I found this to be one of my favorite suspense books so far this month. I can not wait for book 2 to be released next year so I can find out more about Madison and what she's going to do next with her life, job, possible romantic interest in Jonas... This will definitely be a book I keep on my bookshelf to read again and again. I highly recommend this clean suspense book-you won't want to stop reading it once you start! I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

The Escape by Lisa Harris is the first book in the U.S. Marshals series. U.S. Marshal Madison James is still reeling from the loss of her husband five years ago. She has finally decided to move on literally and move out of town. Only she has one last assignment in town. Jonas Quinn is back in town and has been asked to out help with this special assignment. It's great to see Madison, who he trained four years ago. This assignment should be a simply prisoner transport. However, it doesn't turn out so simple. In true Lisa Harris style, The Escape will have you page turning! I throughly enjoyed the story and simply couldn't put the book down In fact, now that I'm finished with the book, I'm still trying to figure out how the escaped prisoner did what he did. The only unfortunate part is that there is a cliffhanger at the end, so you'll have to check out the next book in the series! The Escape was an enjoyable, suspenseful read. I would recommend this book! I was given a free copy form the publisher for my honest review, which I was happy to do!
Non-stop Action!

LGS - 4 years ago
The Escape uses the first chapter and a half to give the readers a good introduction to the characters with some of their backstory, but NOT in any way like a info dump. It's revealed through natural dialogue and situations. Both Madison and Quinn are extremely likable characters and with their individual strengths make a great team of US Marshalls. We see both develop throughout the book. The action starts quickly and doesn't let up. The plot has twists and turns like a roller coaster ride. There is an ending to the main case that Quinn and Madison are working, but there is a big mystery set up for the next book. Here's hoping that Lisa Harris writes quickly because I'm eager to see what happens next.. I would recommend this to family and friends and recommend it for suspense readers, suspense with romance readers, and action/adventure readers. I received a copy from NetGalley. I chose to write a review and share my opinion of this exciting, well-written book.
Adrenaline-filled fugitive chase
4 out of 5 stars
- 4 years ago
Lisa Harris consistently delivers adrenaline-filled, fast-paced suspense and this book that kicks off her newest series is quite enjoyable. The intensity and speed of the fugitive chase reminded me of the movie The Fugitive. From terrible plane crash to combat in the middle of the forest to tracking down the fugitive's contacts, there is never a dull moment in the plot. Madison and Jonas are great characters in their dedication and determination as US Marshals. They both have deep wounds that still need healing and this first book lays down the groundwork for their friendship and partnership, as well as the underlying current of attraction. I expect the subtle threats against Madison in regards to her deceased husband to continue throughout the series and am anxious to find out why he was killed and who the murderer is. I'm not a huge fan of books that build upon the same set of main characters in the series but I'm totally hooked and will be reading the rest of the series. If you enjoy heart-pounding suspense and action, you will love this book. I received a copy of the book from Revell/Baker Publishing Group via NetGalley and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.
A total page turner I couldn’t put down!
5 out of 5 stars
Paty Hinojosa - 4 years ago
Omg! This book was an amazing thriller that kept me at the edge of my seat from the first page until the last one with my heart beeping hard! I totally love this author! I’ve loved all the books I’ve read from her, but this one was especially grippino! I was always anxious to finish what I had to do to get some time for reading, and staying up late at night, because I couldn’t put it down with the need to know what was going to happen next and if Madison and Jonas would survive one danger after another... US Marshalls Madison James and Jonas Quinn are on a high-profile mission. They have to ensure the transport of two criminals from one part of the country to another by airplane. What they never expect is for the plane to suffer engine trouble and crash in the middle of the Salmon-Challis National Forest. After awakening after the terrible crash, Madison and Jonas discover that both pilots and one convict died, but the other convict has escaped and is on the run! This story has plenty of action and suspense, there’s hardly a tranquill page! The way they track the convict, and the traps he sets them and how he escapes once and again from them, keeps you on edge! He seems to be an intelligent criminal, always luring them to him, but finding ways to outmanouver them and trying to kill them at the same time. It’s a cat after the mouse game that seems to have no end. The plot was truly engaging and I love the detailed way in which the author describes everything, the settings, the scene... Madison and Jonas are so professional, yet they become emotionally involved and that makes it all the harder to achieve, but I was admired of their strength and braveness. I truly loved their characters: honest, loyal, respectful. Loved Jonas protectiveness of Madison. There was a light romance, evident attraction, that I hope it will grow and develop in the next book in the series! The book had lots of twists and the ending was great, even if a bit fast! I definitely recommend this book to Romantic Suspense Lovers! An enthralling read! I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Publisher but wasn’t required to post a positive review. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.
Action-packed Chase
4 out of 5 stars
LisaK - 4 years ago
The Escape is the first in a new series about US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn. In this installment they are on a manhunt in the Salmon-Challis National Forest. Madison and Jonas are strong characters that are believable and likable. There’s just a hint of attraction between the two which I hope will grow throughout the series, but for now it’s enough to know they respect and like each other. They make a good team. The bad guy is clever, and seems to always be one step ahead. There’s plenty of action and another very sinister mystery introduced. It’s going to be fun to see what lies ahead. All in all, it’s a solid read.

Thumbs up graphic, would recommend

“The Escape” is the first book in the US Marshals series by Lisa Harris. The suspense starts from almost the beginning of the book which made this book really easy to get into reading and made it hard to put down. The main characters, US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn, really play well off of each other. The romance to me does not start from the very beginning like the suspense does, but instead it slowly builds which makes it more believable and realistic especially given both of the characters’ backgrounds. There are curve balls thrown your way throughout the novel that make it even more intriguing. If you like suspenseful books with a twist and some romance thrown in, then this book is definitely for you. This was an excellent start to a series. Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in order to give an honest review.
A Deadly Chase

Tickmenot - 5 years ago
A dangerous prisoner, through a fluke, has escaped and is on the run. He is leaving a trail of dead bodies and destruction as US Marshals, Madison James and Jonas Quinn, desperately try to stop him—but he always seems one step ahead of them. They each have demons of their own that they must deal with as they put their lives on the line while trying to catch him. Join them in this deadly cat and mouse game, but who will win? Is he really guilty? This adventure takes you from a life and death plane crash, to dense forest searches, to interviews with people that may hold the key to finding him. However, they do not want to help because they believe the prisoner has been falsely accused. Will they be able to overcome that? Both marshals include faith as an integral reason for their ability to do their job. This clean, 5-star book will keep your attention to the very last page. Although the prisoner hunt is resolved, this tale ends with a cliff hanger about another issue that must be answered in a future installment in this series. I recommend this book to those who enjoy intense stories with lots of action and suspense. Revell Publishing has provided Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, The Escape, for the purpose of review.
SUSPENSEFUL!

The Escape by Lisa Harris is the first book in her US Marshals series. On a routine prisoner transport across the country from Seattle to Colorado the plane crashes in the Salmon-Challis National Forest leaving both pilots and one prisoner dead. Now US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn must track the surviving prison through the backcountry before he escapes for good. This story had so many twists and turns you never knew what was coming next. I love stories with a strong female character, and Madison was definitely a strong woman. With all she was dealing with in her personal life she was still able to focus and get the job done. I can’t wait for the series to continue! I received this book from the author for my honest review.

This book is a total page-turner, non-stop action, and riveting! There is so much action in this read, you will hardly have time to breath, and then when you do something else happens! I have read many books by this author, and they have all been great reads, and this one sure didn't disappoint. I now know that this is a series, but I was left without answers at the end, and can't wait now for the next book to come out! If you love good clean suspense, I highly recommend!
