Afraid for her life with nowhere to turn, she … she reaches out to one of the victim’s husbands, Detective Josh Solomon.

This story had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Lots of suspense, drama, and an interesting plot with great characters!
I liked how Caitlyn and Detective Josh work together to figure out the deaths of their colleagues and loved ones. Not knowing who to trust, even on the police force, make it difficult to work on their case and gather enough evidence to find the real killers.
I really enjoyed this thrilling story! Great christian suspense!
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
Deadly Intentions is one of those books that makes me a bit resentful of the demands of real life. Cooking and cleaning just do not stand up very well against finding out what might happen next in this fast-paced, suspense-filled narrative. Several of Caitlyn’s research team have died randomly over the past year and Caitlyn herself has just survived a hit-and-run. She needs to talk with someone but there is no one she can trust, except perhaps her dead friend’s husband Josh Solomon who is also a police detective. As she shares her suspicions with Josh, they agree that the deaths cannot be merely coincidental and find themselves right in the middle of a deadly game.
Lisa Harris is another author who has been added to my ever-growing Must Read list. Her characters are so realistic that I can easily relate to their experiences. Her vivid plots could easily have come from today’s news. I love how she deftly weaves her Christian faith into the story in such a natural way. Lots of action, danger, suspense, and plot twists keep me reading and a bit of romance is the icing on the cake.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.
“Deadly Intentions”by Lisa Harris was the first book that I read by the author. From page one I was hooked. Caitlyn Lindsey is convinced that someone is taking out her team one by one. First a research partner and friend was killed in a home invasion, than her boss died in a suspicious car accident, then to top if off another partner supposedly committed suicide. Caitlyn is afraid for her life and turns to one of the victims’ husbands, Detective Josh Solomon.
The two of them can not trust anyone including Josh’s co-workers who are also detectives. They must discover the truth about who is after Caitlyn’s team before it’s too late with a sense of urgency and danger.
“Deadly Intentions” is full of suspense, mystery and romance that will keep you up reading till the last page. The book did not disappoint and will definitely be reading more of the author’s books. Lisa Harris is a master story teller and takes the reader deep into the heart of fear. I highly recommend the book.

A WONDERFUL NEW RELEASE FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR LISA HARRIS! WITH A THREATENING POTENTIAL BIOWEAPON IN THE BALANCE, TWO UNLIKELY CHARACTERS TEAM UP TO FACE THEIR FEARS, CONFRONT EVIL AND UNCOVER THE TRUTH.
I was delighted to dive into my e-copy of Lisa Harris’s newest release, Deadly Intentions. Harris is an excellent suspense writer and I’ve enjoyed many of her books in the past.
This novel opens with quick moving action amidst a heartbreaking scene. Readers are introduced to detective Josh Solomon and research scientist Caitlyn Lindsey as their lives take unexpected turns and connect them in a way they never imagined. The two characters work through dealing with their own fears, doubts and real life struggles as the plot thickens and moves along, holding interest. In the lull of action, Josh and Caitlyn find themselves connecting and getting to know each other on a a more personal level.
Both characters are well developed and likable. Their budding romance is sweet, light and believable. I enjoyed reading about the potential bioweapon and felt Harris did an excellent job of making that aspect interesting and easy to understand. As a result, readers grasp onto the storyline of Deadly Intentions and are pulled along with the two characters as they work to uncover the truth.
Harris doesn’t shy away from topics such as murder, domestic abuse, or marital affairs. Instead, she touches on them, using them as an avenue to explore how our faith impacts those realities of life and the redemption that can be found through Christ.
Harris focused more on her plot unfolding than a romance so if you’re looking for a heavy romance with a thrilling plot, this isn’t that type of book. It’s a little more cozy, but at the same time has an edgy tone, which is the magical way Harris writes.
Deadly Intentions was a solid four stars for me.
It was an excellent book. Interesting, exciting, great characters, a sweet new romance and a plot that moved along well. There wasn’t anything in particular that tipped it over into the five stars for me. It was just really good. I highly recommend this book to older teen and adult readers who enjoy romantic suspense and are fans of authors such as Irene Hannon, Dani Pettrey and Nancy Mehl.
A Lisa Harris novel never disappoints! Deadly Intentions is her newest novel and I loved it! Detective Josh Hamilton’s wife was killed in what appeared to be a home invasion. He believed that until Caitlyn Lindsey, one of his wife’s coworkers, comes to him with details about mysterious deaths of others at the lab where they worked. It now appears someone is after Caitlyn as well. This is a real page-turner. Who can be trusted? Who is behind all this? Can Josh and Caitlyn find the answers they are looking for and escape unharmed?? I found myself questioning everyone and continued to be surprised throughout the book. Twists and turns, action-packed, wonderful characters, and just the right amount of romance is what you will find in Deadly Intentions.

3.5 stars
” She had learned to put her faith in a God she knew she could trust. But there were still times – like today – that holding on to her faith felt more like she was lost in the pounding waves.”
Suspicions surround the random deaths of lab scientist Caitlyn Lindsey’s co-workers. She does not believe that her three co-workers died in the manner in which police have determined; each of them dropping subtle hints before their demise about a research project that wasn’t going according to protocol.When her own life is threatened, Caitlyn decides to compile her theories and ask for help, but who can she trust?
Police detective Josh Solomon is slowly putting the pieces of his life back together following the brutal murder of his wife. When one of Olivia’s co-workers frantically reaches out for his help, old wounds are opened, but new probabilities suddenly take flight. What Caitlyn Lindsey believes really happened makes a great deal of sense, but who will believe them and at what cost to themselves, their careers, and unpredictably to their hearts?
A really nicely paced suspense, with simmering romance and a ready supply of confusing possibilities.
Deadly Intentions by Lisa Harris is a breath-catching run as the main characters, Josh and Caitlyn, work together to solve the mystery of three related deaths. The writing is top-notch. Harris definitely knows how to show and tell a story with just enough sensory details to keep the reader glued to the pages. The plot was a never-ending chase away from the police and the people who wanted to kill them. I really did have a wonderful time getting lost in the story and couldn’t wait to see what happened. The climatic ending bothered me. It was done off the pages, and it happened pretty quickly. The entire story lead up to the dramatic moment, but Harris didn’t deliver what she promised. As for the romance between Josh and Caitlyn, I didn’t buy it either. It felt forced to allow the romantic part of the romantic suspense to keep its reality, but I didn’t like it either. Overall, Deadly Intentions delivered a big promise of something huge happening at the end of the novel, but Harris didn’t deliver what I was reading for. Fans of romantic suspense like Irene Hannon, Lynette Eason, and DiAnn Mills might disagree with me and love this novel.
I received a complimentary copy of Deadly Intentions by Lisa Harris from Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
I was in the middle of doing my chores and wanted to take a break. So, I decided to read a chapter of Lisa Harris’ new release, Deadly Intentions. Well, my break lasted a little bit longer, as I did not get back up until I read the very last page of this book. What a fabulous read! I could not put it down.
Deadly Intentions is by far my favorite that I have read by this author. I am giving it a well deserved five plus stars. It is so very good. I highly recommend it.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
