Madison and a new partner, Jonas Quinn, are paired up to transport prisoners to another state.  Damon Barrick is the one that got away.  The book starts off telling us about the murder of Madison’s husband 5 years earlier and the 5 year anniversary date is when she heads off on the transport.  Both are seasoned Marshals and are both stretched to the limits throughout this fast paced, high adventure hunt.  The story takes place in parts of Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and Texas.  The two main characters are well developed and likeable.  We also meet Madison’s Dad, her sister Danielle, both of their bosses, Mr. Michaels and a few others as the story unfolds.  Page turning story with lots of action make this book hard to put down.

US Marshal Madison James and her partner Jonas Quinn are sent to bring a prisoner back via plane.  The plane crashes in a remote area and the only survivors are the marshalls and the prisoner. It becomes a nightmare full of injuries, cat and mouse with the prisoner as they try to recapture him and complete their mission, and finding their way out of the wilderness on foot. 

This story was a nail biter and I think I plowed through it in record time.  I couldn't put it down.  I really enjoyed this story and will continue to look for books by this author.

Wow! The Escape by Lisa Harris grabs you from the first chapter and doesn’t let you go until the very last page.  It has a very well-written  storyline, great characters and moves at a steady pace. US Marshals Madison and Jonas battle a plane crash, nature and, of course, fugitives in the first book of this exciting new series. If you enjoy Christian Suspense, you don’t want to pass this one up. 
I received a copy of this book to review, but the review itself is based on my own opinion and views.

This first book in LIsa Harris’s new U.S. Marshals series will definitely leave you wanting more.  As U.S. Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn race across the states in the Pacific Northwest in search of an escaped felon, my heart raced right along with them.  Each time that they thought they had Barrick in a trap, I cheered, only to sigh with resignation when he escaped again.  He was one smart prisoner!  But Madison and Jonas were ready for his wily ways and they gave me chills with how perceptive and clever they were in their pursuit of the escaped killer.  I was delighted that I learned so much about the U.S. Marshals and that I could actually picture the beautiful forest land that they were trapped in, attempting to find the felon who was like the Road Runner in the cartoons, always one step ahead of them.  The author did an outstanding job of describing the setting!  Fans of romantic suspense will really love this action adventure story!

Wow!  What a FANTASTIC book!  As you read the story of US Marshalls Madison and Jonas, the storyline will keep you glued to your seat and thoroughly engaged in the mystery.  Lisa Harris does an excellent job of combining believable suspense with real-life emotions and romance.  GREAT book!

1) why does it have to end in a cliffhanger?  I mean I want to know right now what comes next so book two in this series needs to be out now please and thank you. 

2) I love the characters!  Both have had things happen in the past that have shaped them and maybe jaded them a bit. 

3) US Marshals and an escaped convict.  Why yes that makes for quite the suspenseful read!  I loved the twists and turns and how he manages to stay one step ahead of them for most of the book!

4) Love that something is included at the end of the book like Alzheimer's.  This adds another dimension to the book and another piece that I can't wait to see how it moves forward in book two. 

5)  An amazing author who is going to keep you riveted to the book.  I could not put it down.

6) I love Madison's family.  Her sister and father are key players in the book. 

Okay, now that I've listed some of the key things let's chat about how the two main characters are escorting two prisoners and their plane crashes.  One prisoner is killed on impact and the other takes this as his last chance for freedom.  He has nothing to lose.  

This is an amazing book and I really cannot wait for the next book in the series.  I mean, there's a short teaser at the end for book two and we're talking gunshot wound and a killer and unresolved stuff that I need resolves ASAP!!

The Escape is a book that I would highly recommend.  The book was written by Lisa Harris and it is another excellent book by her.
	The author creates very believable scenarios of almost nail-biting drama.  Her characters of Madison James and Jonas Quinn are US Marshals based in the Seattle area.  This is the first time they have done a case together, but they have known each other from previous class training time.  Their assignment is to transport two prisoners to Denver via private airplane with only the pilot and co-pilot as other people on board.  Weather moves in and the plane develops problems causing it to do an emergency crash landing in a remote national forest in Idaho.  Both pilots and one prisoner do not survive the initial crash and the other prisoner escapes while both Madison and Jonas are unconscious.  
	These US Marshals must track this prisoner down as part of their job and this prisoner does not want to be found.  Using both mental and physical means to find the prisoner, Madison and Jonas find that the prisoner is playing a few games with them to further his own escape plan.  The author incorporates the remoteness of Idaho and portrays a wonderful picture of the land and its people who add further drama to the search through Wyoming and Colorado.
	I thoroughly enjoyed the book and can’t wait to read more from this author.
	I was given a free copy of this book for review by Net Galley and the opinion is my own.  #The Escape #LisaHarris #NetGalley

Madison James and Jonas Quinn, both US Marshals, are assigned to transport two dangerous criminals by plane to a new destination.  After the plane crashes, Madison and Jonas must track an escaped murderer in the wilderness and beyond to try and keep him from killing anyone else.  At the same time, Madison still doesn't know who killed her late husband.  However, clues have been turning up.

This is a fast paced, action-packed Christian thriller with many twists and turns.  It was hard to put down and I stayed on the edge of my seat.  There are interesting and surprising developments, and the characters are very well written, especially the "villain."  There is a hint of romance and a gentle Christian message of the hope God can provide in dark times.     It is the first book in the U.S. Marshals series by Lisa Harris, and I can't wait to read the rest.  

I received a free copy of this book from Revell via Netgalley.  My review is voluntary.

THE ESCAPE by Lisa Harris is the first book in the US Marshall series. It is a Christian action adventure suspense novel that moves quickly between the states of Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and Texas. Two US Marshalls are assigned to a prisoner transport from Seattle to Denver when their plane crashes. What follows is a week of non-stop suspense, stress, and action.

Madison James and Jonas Quinn are the protagonists in this novel. Both are US Marshalls and the point of view switches seamlessly back and forth between them. They are easy to like and root for, and were credible and relatable. The author does a good job of giving them depth including flaws and virtues. While Madison was a strong protagonist in a lot of ways, there were occasions when I felt she should have been portrayed more strongly and less in need of help. The secondary characters are not as well-developed in this first novel, but they enhanced the story. Hopefully, some of them will get more depth in the next book in the series. The world-building was great and ranged from rugged and remote backcountry to busy airports. The internal and external conflicts were well defined and were organic and believable; arising out of characterization and circumstance rather than feeling forced or contrived.

I also learned about the US Marshall Service and their fugitive investigations and how they work with other law enforcement agencies. The author weaved this into the story line without detracting from the flow and action. 

Overall, this was an action-packed and entertaining novel with the hint of a future romance that kept me fully engaged. The story was compelling and a great start to a new series. I highly recommend this to those that enjoy action-packed suspense stories. The expected publication date is November 3, 2020. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. 

Revell and Lisa Harris provided a complimentary digital ARC of this novel via NetGalley. This is my honest review. Opinions are mine alone and are not biased in any way.

The Escape by Lisa Harris starts out reminding me of Con-Air, a plane full of criminals and something goes wrong. While Harris' story does not go as realistic and vivid as Con-Air the movie does, it still captures my attention as I am chasing through the woods of Idaho to Colorado to chase after an escaped criminal. There is a hint of romance, but it definitely is not the most important element of the story, which I truly enjoyed by the way. The suspense is what drives the stories. Every time the hero and heroine get close to capturing the criminal, he throws a loop in their carefully laid out plans and runs for the hills.  Some of the movements by the police officers were predictable. I believe fans of suspense novels will have seen them coming. They have been done before. Even with this, I still enjoyed the story. The heroine's name is mentioned in the next one, so I can't wait to see what other trouble that Harris allows these characters to dive into.

I received a complimentary copy of The Escape by Lisa Harris by Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.

'Sometimes the darkness seems so much stronger than the light....But God is so much bigger than the darkness.'

I had never read this author before, but the book's cover and synopsis convinced me to give it a read.  It was a really good book. I love a good suspense novel and this one fit the bill admirably.  Two US Marshals are on a plane escorting two prisoners when the plane crashes, leaving only the marshals and one prisoner alive.  And he has escaped.  From then on, the action never lets up.  This prisoner was an especially bad dude, too.

I was completely fascinated by the office of the US Marshals.  The authors goes into detail about their roles and I was so interested that I looked them up on my own.  I learned a lot and so glad I read this book.  Be warned: there are more in this series to come and the reader will see this at the end.    I am eagerly awaiting the next one in the series.  I do recommend this book.

*My thanks to Revell Publishing for a copy of this book via Net Galley.  The opinion in this review is entirely my own.

I’ve never read anything by Lisa Harris before, but now I’m a huge fan! Jonas and Madison were characters easy to love and root for as they tried to capture a dangerous feeling when their transport plane crashed and he escaped. So many twists and turns and it kept me riveted!! I can’t wait to read the sequel. 😀

Wow!  What a ride.  When a dangerous criminal escapes during a downed transport plane, two US Marshals work to apprehend him.  The storyline is almost unbelievable as the escapee stays one step ahead of law enforcement.  
Both US Marshals carry the pain of loss in their personal lives.  As they work together, they must find trust and a new closeness bonds them together. 
And just when everything is wrapping up...a lead into the following book. 
This book will keep you turning the pages.

Wowzers! This book is a literaly race from opening page to almost the final page. Follow US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn as they race through the Pacific Northwest across the country in pursuit of an escaped prisoner. All three were in a transport flight that crashed. And the race is desperate and down to the wire. Add it moments of romance laced tension, and this is a book that romantic suspense lovers will enjoy -- and it builds to the next book...one I'm itching to read!

5 STar

This is the 1st book in the US Marshal series. I must first say I love this Author's books and think I have read them all. I was so excited to receive an ARC of this book. Madison James and Jonas Quinn are US Marshalls. Madison is mourning the murder of her husband five years before. Madison and Jonas are tasked with the transport of two violent offenders. Their plane crashes and one of the convicts escapes. This book kept me glued to its pages. I couldn't put it down and I didn't want to. I will not tell you the ending. Read the book. I highly recommend it. I even read the teaser at the end which I usually do not do. I wish Book 2 was available right now! Thanks to NetGalley, Revell and the Author for the privilege of reading and reviewing this book.

Recently widowed US Marshall Madison James is partnered unexpectedly with new transfer Marshall Jonas Quinn. They met years before during training but they don't really know each other. Both are determined not to be involved with a coworker. When they're thrust together in transporting two high risk prisoners - everything goes wrong.. On the short flight to Denver the flight goes down and the race is on. Lisa Harris takes the Marshalls through some unexpected terrain as their training to expect the unexpected kicks in. 
I liked the suspense and different threads the Marshalls had to pull to unravel the story. Guilt or innocence isn't their call but it impacts the decisions they make in tracking their escaped prisoner. 
The Escape is a great start to Harris' US Marshall series. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series! Great job, Lisa Harris. 
Thank you to Revell for the opportunity to review the advanced readers copy of this story. All opinions are my own.

"The Escape" is a romantic suspense novel. Due to the physical danger to the main characters and bystanders as well as the race to catch the fugitive in time, there was a great deal of suspense. Madison and Jonas worked well together as a team and appreciated the other persons' strengths and talents. They were just beginning to be romantically attracted in this book, despite Madison's lingering grief for her dead husband and Jonas' conviction that he shouldn't date a coworker. The story ended with a cliffhanger of sorts relating to the murder of Madison's husband.

My main problem was that the characters didn't feel realistic, or at least relatable. They went through a scary plane crash, but they weren't nervous about flying on a plane...and they do so several times in their pursuit of the fugitive. No one even thought about the possibility of fear about getting on another plane. They were injured in the plane crash, but those injuries disappeared very quickly. No one suggested that maybe they should go to the hospital to be checked out or allow someone else to take over the fugitive hunt. They did something that they knew was probably unwise at the beginning of the story and it made the situation much worse, but neither one questioned if they were making good decisions because of this; they promptly forgave themselves and moved on.

Though by Christian publisher, the only Christian content was a couple references to "she prayed" (that it would work, for example). There was no sex or bad language.

This book y'all! It is sooooooo good! I picked up my print copy from the post office and I just loved this book! I couldn't out it down until I finished it! I'm like wow! This book deserves more than 5 stars because of the solid writing that Harris does. I like that her characters are realistic and at they have feelings just like the people do in real life. 
I enjoyed the the plot and all of the characters. Harris sure knows how to keep her readers interested! So many twists and turns! Just like a roller coaster ride. Some of these I never saw coming! I love books like this! 
My favorite is Jonas! And next of course is Madison. They're each trying to heal from their losses and it's not easy. Grief can suddenly hit you in your tracks when you least expect it that's for sure! I think we can all relate to these characters in that regard. It's never easy to lose someone no matter what the case may be. 
Harris describes the scenes so well! Makes me feel like I'm watching a movie only the book is so much better!  Besides, I love using my imagination too. That's so much fun! I definitely enjoyed this adventure! 
I was sad to see this adventure end but on the positive note, I'm glad there's going to be another Madison book! I'm so glad that this wasn't the only book that is going to be written for I had a feeling that it wasn't the end of Madison's story. 
I would've hated to see her drop off so suddenly. She
s my heroine!

Lisa Harris always pens an interesting storyline with well developed characters. I have not been disappointed yet,
