Deadly Intention by Lisa Harris
Lisa Harris is one of my all-time favorite author. If you read Deadly Intention she will be your favorite too. Deadly Intention is a excellent book. It is intriguing, suspenseful, and romantic. I was pulled into the book from the very first page. The main two characters are Josh and Caitlyn. The book starts with the murder of Josh’s wife. They work together to solve several murders. They are so loveable, down to earth, likable. It will be hard for you to put down, it was for me. I recommend you and others to read this excellent book!
I give this a 5 out of 5 star’s!

Wonderful Christian message.
This book is a wonderful combination of mystery with a whole lot of suspense plus a little biomedical twist. Detective Josh Solomon loses his wife in a home invasion gone bad….or did he? Learning to live with his loss is much more difficult than he expects, but the incarceration of the perpetrators allows him some closure.
Caitlyn Lindsey, MedTECH researcher, is being stalked for reasons she can’t even imagine. The twists and turns in this incredible story just don’t stop until the very end and then you still wonder if they really answered all the questions! Murder, questionable vaccine trials, leaky vaccines, poisonings, cars run off the road, shots fired….the edge of your seat action will keep you guessing. Who really is behind all of this?
Published by Revell and Baker Publishing Group, this one is not to be missed! The comments and impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.
Took a long time and lots of words to finally get to The Who done it part. All in all a good story.
This is an intricately woven romantic suspense novel!
I fell in love with both of the main characters. They are very well developed and presented. They both have a lot of emotional hurt that they are carrying. Caitlyn’s wounds came as a child. Josh’s heart was broken in the beginning of the book when his wife was brutally murdered.
The plot is wonderful. It is filled with lots of twists and turns that kept my interest. Life interrupted my reading time but I HAD to come back every time I had a few minuted. The story stayed in my head and the plot kept me trying to figure things out even when I didn’t have time to read.
I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that both Caitlyn and Josh repeatedly thought about God and were trying to figure out how their situations could be in God’s plan and how they could trust Him to get them through it.

I actually loved Deadly Intentions by Lisa Harris! It was the perfect fast paced suspense story with inspiration and romance woven in also.
Detective Josh Solomon always thought his wife’s murder was from a random home invasion, but when her co-worker and friend Caitlyn Lindsey shows up a year later asking for his help he realizes that his wife’s murder wasn’t random and there is so much more that is going on than he ever expected.
I’m looking forward to reading more wonderful stories by this author in the future.
I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
Wow! What a fast-paced, suspense-filled book! I had such a hard time putting it down! This book had lots of chases and guns and romance – but also reality, “…this isn’t some storybook tale where everything ends when the hero kisses the heroine. What about after that moment? Things don’t always work out that way in real life. They get messy. Men walk out, abuse their spouses, or they die. And hearts get broken.” This book just had so many twists and turns and make you think moments as Caitlyn not only has to elude her pursuers but also deal with her heart. I also loved the spiritual element woven in the book – as the characters examine their faith. At one-point Caitlyn says, “Honestly, biology has only managed to strengthen it (her faith). … My work has given me an incredible glimpse into who he is.”
Great book and I highly recommend if you like thrillers. I really like Lisa’s books! I received a copy of this book from the publisher. I am freely writing a review – all thoughts and opinions are my own.
“Let me show you how to love and how to be loved. I want to be that person who wakes up beside you every morning, who does the laundry with you, takes out the trash, and builds a home and a family with you.”.
Lisa Harris never fails to amaze me with her high-intensity, adrenaline-fueled, action-packed plots and beautifully crafted characters racing against time and enemies to find the solution to a looming threat. Deadly Intentions starts out with a gasp-inducing prologue and the heart-pounding action doesn’t stop until the very end.
Josh, a homicide detective and a recent widower, is dedicated, loyal, and trust-worthy with a straight and narrow view of justice. When Caitlyn, his murdered wife’s friend and colleague, approaches him with a different viewpoint of why his wife may have been killed, his world is thrown off-course. Caitlyn is an intelligent, compassionate, and dedicated scientist who works at a vaccine laboratory but looking for clues as to why several of her colleagues have died recently with sketchy explanations. When they’re both targeted and become victims of violence, they dig deeper to put together the puzzle pieces they hold.
If you enjoy a fast-paced, well-written romantic suspense, you will definitely love this book.

Deadly Intentions by Lisa Harris is a romantic suspense novel.
“There is no such thing as random.”
I would add there is no such thing as coincidence!
Caitlyn Lindsay might have suspicions about the death of three colleagues at MedTECH labs. But what was really the cause of their deaths and why? When she fears for her life, she turns to Detective Josh Solomon, the husband of one of the victims. Can they figure out what is going on before they, too, are silenced?
This was a very suspenseful novel with lots of twists and turns. It kept me guessing until the end. Ms. Harris really knows how to put her characters in jeopardy. An exciting and fast read because I wanted to discover what happened next. Her experience as a victim of a home invasion lends credibility to her writing.
The faith thread, though minimal, gave a very good quote of Caitlyn’s thoughts near the end. “She’d struggled understanding the love of her heavenly Father and had finally come to realize that it wasn’t based on what she did but on what he’d already done for her. The one true sacrificial love.” I wish we could have seen the characters voice their faith a bit more.
This was not my favorite book by Ms. Harris, I questioned the actions of the characters a time or two. Still it had a provocative premise and was a riveting story. I look forward to reading more from this author.

DEADLY INTENTIONS…..Lisa Harris
Josh was a police officer, dead tired from lack of sleep, approaching his home, intruders we’re running out. Nine home have been hit in his neighborhood. Except this time it was murder, Josh a widow before forty.
Caitlyn sitting at the funeral of her co-worker and friend Helen, it couldn’t possible be a suicide. Over daily lunch time, she talk of her grandchildren, a trip to Vegas in the summer. Three sudden deaths were they all connected by Med TECH, and same project. Her scientific background says no they were not sudden or suicides. A hit and run happens to her, she has to draw Josh in on what is happening. A good thriller, from the beginning with Josh seeing what happened to his wife. It is personal they knew the victims, they wanted justice. Another gripping story from the author
Deadly Intentions by Lisa Harris is a romantic suspense, edge-of-your-seat thriller. The story starts out with a murder and keeps you turning the pages until the very end. Research scientist Caitlyn Lindsey doesn’t believe that the deaths of her co-workers were accidents or random. She thinks that they knew something and were killed for as a result. The only person she can trust with her suspicions is Detective Josh Solomon, one of the victim’s husband. Together they uncover a sinister plot that could cost them their lives. Somebody high up doesn’t want their secret revealed and is willing to commit murder to keep them silent. Lisa knows how to keep you interested in a story. I stayed up way too late to finish this book. At times I was holding my breath, the suspense was so intense. I liked how the characters interacted with each other, complimenting not detracting. Their faith was mentioned but not overly, preachy. I definitely recommend you read Deadly Intentions.

This is a great mystery. I admit to staying up late several nights in a row to read this book. I would think I had it figured out. Then wham, I was wrong. The interaction between Caitlyn was good also. They knew each other through Josh’s wife and had occasionally interacted socially. Josh’s wife would try to set Caitlyn up on blind dates. So when Caitlyn came to Josh with her suspicions, he knew she wasn’t a wacko. Also, he had questions himself about whether the right people were in jail.
I recommend this book for all who like a great mystery.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
Lisa Harris has created yet another excellent romantic suspense novel. It kept me engaged throughout and I adored the two main characters (Josh and Caitlyn). I found them believable and likable. I wanted them to succeed in solving the mystery and to find their happily ever after with each other. The suspense part of the book was quite believable. I could see something like it happening. And, while you’ll know some of the bad guys before the book is over, there’s a traitor that I didn’t guess until the reveal. It kept me on the edge of my seat. It’s a great read for sure.
In Lisa Harris’s latest release, Deadly Intentions, she takes readers on a fast-paced race to the finish to complete this suspense book. This book is one of my favorite releases for 2019. I highly recommend you read this book! You will not be disappointed! Caitlyn is a research scientist who works for a fairly large company. For the past year or longer, people who work at the company continue to die. After Caitlyn’s friend supposedly commits suicide, Caitlyn fears that she was working on something and it led to her death. This makes her question what occurred with the other people within the company. After Caitlyn starts asking questions, she is involved in an accident where someone obviously wants her to die. She decides to go on the run and hide. The only person she can think of to help her is Detective Josh Solomon, one of the victim’s husband. Josh has always questioned the circumstances around his wife’s death. Together will they be able to solve what is occurring? This must-read book is so intriguing and interesting you will want to read the whole thing in one sitting. Don’t start this one very late or it will keep you up all night! Lisa did a fantastic job on this one! I look forward to her next release.
***I was given a free electronic copy of this book from the publisher for an honest review. This is my honest opinion. Even though I received this copy free, I have purchased her books before.
Ever since I read my first Lisa Harris book (Ghost Heart, written with Lynne Gentry) and was ‘blown away’ by it, I have eagerly awaited new releases from this author. Deadly intentions did not disappoint. It is razor-sharp action throughout, suspense that does not let up, and a sweet romance that gently unfolds as the story progresses. The characters are strong and complex and yet realistic and relatable, people you would want to be your friends (or not, in the case of the ‘bad guys’). The plot has twists and turns that keep interest high and immediately draws you into the lives of Josh and Caitlyn. His wife’s death could not be undone so why get involved with Caitlyn’s suspicions? Caitlyn had always gone with the flow but now she’d be a fool if she thought things were going to end well. Will they let the hurts and sorrows of the past keep them from a future together, if they ever even made it out of the predicament they were in? Readers of romantic suspense will not want to miss Deadly Intentions–a marvelous example of adrenaline-laced fiction. I read a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
There have been too many deaths in Caitlyn’s workplace in the last few months. Three to be exact. Then she was run off the road and almost killed! Somethings not right. She goes to Detective Josh Solomon, who’s wife was the first one murdered, for help. At first he doesn’t take her accusations seriously. After all, his wife was murdered, the second co-worker had a heart attack and the third death was considered a suicide by an overdose. But they were all working on the same secret pharmaceutical project….
Together Caitlyn and Josh work together to try and find an answer to what is going on. Danger lurks everywhere. And it’s a run and hide situation while still searching for anything to get to the right answers. Making it even more difficult is the fact that Josh does not know who in the police department he can trust. Someone is working as a dirty cop!
This is another of author Lisa Harris’ great suspense with heart pounding, hide and seek adventure. I felt like I was right there with the characters wanting at times to holler out, “no don’t go in there” or, “look out behind you”! It sure keeps my ole ticker pounding at record speeds.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through the author but was not required to write a review positive or otherwise.
Another powerful romantic suspense novel by Lisa Harris! Caitlyn Lindsey has just attended her 3rd funeral in a year, and though all of the deaths have been different and seemingly not related, she can’t help feeling that there’s something there. When she starts asking questions and finds her car being run off the road, she knows she’s onto something. As someone who’s always had to be independent, she’s uncertain where to turn in order to get the answers and stay one step ahead of the killer. She takes a chance on Josh Solomon, whose wife was the first to die. As the 2 work together to figure out who is behind the murders and why, they aren’t sure who to trust. Will they be able to get the answers they need before the killers find them?
This book hit the ground running and just didn’t let up. I had no idea what was going to happen next or how they would get out of the jam they found themselves in by simply asking questions. The plot-line was realistic, the action was intense and the romance was unexpected (for the characters, not necessarily for the reader). The faith thread was subtle, but definitely present as both main characters cried to God in the depths of their despair. The characters were well developed and likable – I enjoyed getting their back-stories as well, and the relationships realistic. The action and suspense were interwoven all the way through. This was definitely a 5 star read! I would strongly recommend to readers who enjoy Christian or even clean romantic suspense.
Special thanks to the author for an advanced copy of this book. I was under no obligation to write a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
