This book is listed as a suspense novel but it also has adventure with a capital A! From the very first page readers are given an exciting tale that begins in Brazil and continues into the Amazon jungle. Ellie Webb is running for her life and Ryan Kendall’s efforts to protect her puts him in jeopardy also! The dangers lurking in the Amazon are matched by the deadly threats from the members of the drug cartel determined to keep Ellie from testifying against their powerful and terrifying leader. Time after time, capture after capture, there is the question “Can they escape”?
Author Lisa Harris has written a story that left me yearning to learn the fate of Ellie & Ryan. There is mystery, intrigue, and deception and the suggestion that no one is above suspicion. There is, however, the main characters’s certainty that every obstacle can be met with the help of God. Both of them believed in Him and the power of prayer and their faith is evident throughout the story. I especially liked a conversation that Ellie and Ryan had as they shared their experiences in the loss of her father and his fiancee. “Bad things happen, and sometimes we can’t stop them.” “And sometimes” he said, catching her gaze, “it strengthens your faith when you realize you have no strength of your own.”
No Place To Hide is a great read and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Christian suspense fiction.
I received a complimentary copy of this book but I volunteerily chose to write this review. These thoughts are my own.
What an adrenaline-packed book! Lisa Harris really knows how to write a book that can’t be put down. From page one, the heroine Ellie is on the run and so many twists and turns in the plot have her running til the very end. Anyone who enjoys a fast-paced contemporary suspense novel with an inspirational thread will love this book.
Ellie is a strong, determined, yet tender-hearted artist who has witnessed her father’s murder and is on the run. The government has tried to fake her death and funeral so that she can be kept hidden but those who were involved in her father’s murder is determined to find her. Ryan is a childhood acquaintance, the son of Ellie’s deceased father’s close friend, who is sent by his father to bring Ellie home and protect her. Ryan is the stereotypical strong, resourceful, protective hero but what is not stereotypical about his character is that he is an ex-Navy diver, not a macho SEAL or combat warrior. Sure, he can fight but his expertise is not in combat and his indecision in battle strategy and combat actually made him more real and endearing. Their romance is tender and their friendship as they reconnect is sweet.
Lisa Harris is one of my favorite Love Inspired Suspense authors and every single one of her books is a fun journey!

Lisa Harris’ newest Love Inspired Suspense does not disappoint. No Place to Hide grabbed my attention from the beginning and kept it until the very end. Afraid her location has been compromised, Ryan Kendall is sent into the Brazil by his father with one task and that is to get Ellie Webb home alive. Ellie has been in hiding in Brazil after she witnessed her father’s murder by a notorious cartel leader. The story was full of action in the Amazon as the reader is drawn into the story to find out if Ellie and Ryan will make it home safely. You never really knew in the story who could be trusted because some characters will end up surprising you. What I enjoyed about the book was that not only did it keep my interest to find out what would happen to Ellie and Ryan, but also to learn more about them as their characters developed. There was the external struggle as Ellie and Ryan fought to survive, but the reader also gets to see Ryan and Ellie wrestle with their feelings for each other while dealing with heartache in their own pasts. I would definitely recommend that anyone who loves romantic suspense novels to give this one a try.

HEART-STOPPING ADVENTURE!
No Place to Hide is filled with heart-stopping adventure! Your adrenaline will be running high as you experience the incredible story of of compromised witness Ellie Webb and the unlikely man who comes to her rescue, old friend Ryan Kendall. His father sends him to extract Ellie. Simple right? All he has to do is pick her up and put her in a plane with him. Simple BEFORE he realizes that she’s running for her life; she’s slightly (okay seriously) headstrong about doing things her way; she has a plan but there’s absolutely no possible way they can carry it out; she’s a lot more beautiful than he remembered her being when they were teenagers; she’s in this thing way over her head; he promised his father he’d protect her; he does have some skills. However, neither of them can fathom what they will face in the coming days! Their survival skills will be tested, their friendship will be tested and their faith will be tested and renewed. They will stare death in the face on multiple occasions and from multiple sources. Will they accomplish their mission? Will it bring the two of them closer together or tear them apart? Will justice ever be served? I was provided an an ARC of this book by the Publisher. The opinions expressed here are completely my own and without influence. I have preordered this book for my own personal library.
Are you ready for an intensive and wild tour through the beautiful yet dangerous Amazon rainforest? In No Place to Hide, author Lisa Harris takes readers on a ride they won’t soon forget.
With intense action and no way to know who to trust, Ellie and Ryan must rely on each other to survive pirates, bullet ants, piranhas, explosions, and more.
While exploring the wildlife, plants, and human dangers that exist in this sprawling South American rainforest, Harris also touches on something that often crosses my mind when reading romantic suspense. Is it only the high emotions and danger that draw two people together?
Books like this are why Lisa Harris remains one of my go-to authors for a quality, can’t-put-it-down read in this genre.

No Place to Hide by Lisa Harris is a Love Inspired Suspense book and it definitely lives up to the suspense label! A quick read, it is riveting, edge-of-the-seat action that starts in the first pages and doesn’t let up until the last page is turned. After her father’s murder, Ellie is hiding from the drug cartel in Brazil, when she gets a call telling her to run. She’s been found. Ryan has been sent to bring her safely home but Ellie has other priorities. The adventure begins. The book with its breath-holding scenes gets the adrenaline flowing and yet there are poignant situations that touch the heart as well. The author has written a plot that crackles with energy and tells an entertaining and suspenseful story. And she is very good about who the ‘leak’ in the investigation into the cartel is. Keeps you guessing right to the end. Through all the action and drama, a thread of faith in a God who cares is woven into the story, reminding readers that God can be relied on for strength and wisdom in times of stress. I can’t wait to read more of this author’s books.
