Deadly Connection

Will they uncover the secrets between them before it becomes deadly?

After fending off a would-be abductor, 27-year-old singer-songwriter Hannah Cassidy hides behind a car in the half-empty parking lot behind Pancake Pantry in Nashville. From there, she watches in horror as her attacker grabs another woman and pushes her into a nearby car. Within seconds, the vehicle speeds away.

TBI Special Agent Jake Matheson may have planned a quiet day off and a date with Shannon―the only name her online profile revealed―for an introductory lunch, but after pulling into a parking space on 21st Avenue South, he hears a scream. He races to the back of the building and finds a frightened young woman bent forward and gasping for breath.

Thrown together by uncanny circumstances and driven by the whys and what-ifs of secrets yet to be revealed, Hannah and Jake set out to find the connection between them before it becomes deadly.

Fraught with danger, taut with emotion, ‘Deadly Connection’ takes off at a breakneck speed that set my heart racing. Gripping doesn’t begin to describe this romantic suspense!

The author is an expert at plotting and pacing, making her stories impossible to put down. I love the way she builds up the suspense with equal parts action/danger and police procedural. We even get some villain POV scenes which were eye-opening and gobsmacking!

Hannah and Jake’s developing relationship brings a nice respite from all that edginess. They are both cautious, even wary, and I loved watching them work through their own personal issues in order to be supportive to one another. Faith plays a part in their struggles, as Harris deftly weaves inspirational elements throughout their story.

A gripping romantic suspense that made an emotional impact.

Deadly Commitment + Giveaway

When Danielle Kemp walks out of her downtown Nashville condominium, she gets the eerie feeling someone is watching her. As days go by, she becomes convinced the homeless man outside her building is stalking her. But after learning the real identity of the intimidating stranger, she faces something even more threatening–the truth about her fiancé.

Deadly Secrets is a new fiction series with southern charm and big-city twists. Set in the author’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, it is filled not only with intrigue and suspense but subtle glimpses into how God is at work in the lives of ordinary people doing ordinary jobs . . . or maybe they aren’t so ordinary after all.

My Review:

What an outstanding introduction to a new-to-me author! Edge of your seat suspense with a touch of romance kept me frantically listening to the audio book. Amy Lilly’s narration matched the tone and pacing of the story perfectly and made fora very compelling listen.

And, oh my, does this author know how to build suspense! We are dropped into the middle of Danielle’s seemingly perfect life but right from the start there’s tension. Doubt. Even fear. Something’s not right and the author slowly reveals exactly what one tiny step at a time.

Significant faith threads knit this story together in a meaningful way. You can see God working in Danielle’s life through the faithfulness of those He places in her path.

I try to ensure that I don’t reveal any plot points that aren’t represented in the synopsis so I’m struggling with what to say about the suspense without revealing anything. It’s compelling. Emotional. Part police procedural thanks to the POV of a law enforcement officer. There are even brief snippets from the villain’s POV. And we watch how it all plays out through Danielle’s perspective. The kind of suspense that engages your emotions and keeps your attention until the very end.
