Gwen Ryland knows two things about the men pursuing her through the Rocky Mountains: they’re holding her brother hostage…and they won’t stop until they catch her, too.

While hiking with her brother, Aaron, Gwen Ryland is shoved off a cliff and Aaron is kidnapped by two assailants. Caden O’ Callaghan, also out hiking, hears Gwen scream and goes to investigate. From there things go downhill. Gwen has a sprained ankle and suddenly, they are being pursued.
The action rarely lets up and the circumstances get very frightening. All against a backstory that has Gwen and Caden on opposite sides of a wedding gone wrong. Many years ago, Caden and Cammie, best friend of Gwen, called it off just before the event.
Even as Gwen and Caden sort through their present difficulties and past differences, they both rely on God to make something good out of the situation they find themselves in. Can they stop fighting their attraction and make sense of the journey they are on?
With lots of tension and believable scenarios, Ms. Harris gives us another great story about one of the O’ Callaghan brothers. And we get to visit the scenic wilderness where their ranch is located.

Great read! A true page turner!
It has been a fantastic month for Lisa Harris fans. Hostage Rescue makes her third new release in a little over a month and it doesn’t disappoint. It is fast-paced and action-packed from page one.
Former Army Ranger, Caden O’Callaghan, is out for a hike when he hears a blood curdling scream. Much to his surprise, he discovers the scream came from none other than Gwen Ryland, best friend of his ex-fiance. He comes to her rescue and finds out that two masked men kidnapped her brother and pushed her off the mountain. It is a race against time to get help and figure out who is behind this whole thing and what do they want all while avoiding these two men desperate to get Gwen.
This is the third installment in the series featuring the O’Callaghan brothers. Although this can be read as a standalone, do yourself a favor and read Sheltered by the Soldier and Christmas Witness Pursuit first so you can appreciate the updates from the other brothers at the end of this story.

Caden O’Callaghan and Gwen Ryland last spoke to each other the night before he was to marry her best friend. Ten years later, Caden is camping in the Rockies when he hears a scream and finds Gwen injured after being pushed off a ledge during the kidnapping of her brother. Shocked to see the man she believes broke her friend’s heart, yet in need of assistance, Gwen has no choice but to accept Caden’s help – especially after her brother escapes and the men come looking for her to use as leverage.
Spending the next two days trying to get out of the canyon alive, Caden and Gwen realize they both misjudged each other that long-ago night, neither knowing the whole story. Sharing about their lives – faith, jobs, hobbies – they come to see how much they have in common and like each other, and that a future might be possible together if they are willing to trust their hearts.
Hostage Rescue, the third book in The O’Callaghan Brothers series, grabs your attention at the first page and keeps you captivated until the exciting conclusion. Lisa Harris delivers another great suspense story, adding humor, romance, and, most of all, faith to the mix. I cannot wait for the fourth one coming in December.

Hostage Rescue by Lisa Harris is the third book in her O’Callaghan Brothers’ series. This story starts off with an adrenaline-rush chase through the Rocky Mountains. Gwen Ryland is now being chased by the masked men who kidnapped her brother on the trail and pushed her over the edge of a cliff. Former army ranger, Caden O’Callaghan, hears the scream and goes to investigate. Putting himself right in the middle of the danger. Caden must use all his skills to get Gwen safely out of the mountains. Gwen was my kind of heroine. She wasn’t a fainting, crying wimp. She was able to able to look at the situation and help Caden figure out a solution. Just as Gwen hoped that her faith would always be strong no matter the situation, we struggle with the same issues. I love how Lisa always works faith and trust in God into her edge-of-your-seat adventures!
I received this book from the author for my honest review.
Rocky Mountains! Danger! A former army ranger turned rancher! Kidnapping! White water rapids! What’s not to like about Hostage Rescue? Lisa Harris has written another great book about one of the O’Callaghan brothers! Gwen Ryland is hiking with her brother when someone tries to kill her! Even though Gwen told him off the last time he saw her, Caden can’t leave her alone in the wilderness! You will keep turning pages in this suspenseful book full of danger! I recommend Hostage Rescue to anyone who enjoys suspense! I received an advance copy of Hostage Rescue from the author. This is my honest opinion.
A fast paced chase that keeps the pages turning no matter the time of day. What starts out as a peaceful break from the daily grind, Gwen is now racing to stay 1 step ahead of the men who tried to grab her brother. And she never thought a cowboy from her past could be the only help available. Caden always enjoys his solitary camping trip and never expected a scream to interrupt it. But it has and he never turns away from those who need help, especially when he knows her. With the bad guys intently pursuing Gwen, something big is up. Caden needs to get Gwen to safety, but with injuries slowing them down it’s only a matter of time until the chase ends.
Lisa Harris brings the characters to life so you fell each adrenaline laced chase, the reader holding their breath with them while hiding. Add to this a depth of relationship that makes you care for them like close friends. This is a happy ending, adrenaline infused hunt you don’t want to miss! I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Another fast paced action packed book by Lisa Harris. This is the third book in the O’Callaghan Brothers series. Gwen Ryland finds herself injured and running for her life in the Rocky Mountains. Caden O’Callaghan, a not so great blast from her past, comes to her rescue and the two embark on quite the adventure. As usual, Lisa Harris does a great job of writing the characters and helping the reader to get to know them in a real and personal way. Harris’ description of the setting makes you feel as if your right there in the Rocky Mountains with them. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the 4th Callaghan brother. I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest review. The opinions expressed are completely my own.
