This book hooked me and kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page. These characters interesting and relatable and I loved their chemistry. It was so fun to read. 
I would recommend this book to anyone.

The Escape (US Marshals #1) by Lisa Harris is a non-stop action thriller which is the first in the US Marshals series. I like the main characters of Madison James and Jonas Quinn. 
Madison and Jonas are teamed for a flight to escort a couple of prisoners from Seattle to Denver. Before they reach their destination the pilot announces to prepare for a crash landing. After the impact of the crash, Madison discovers one prisoner has died. The most dangerous prisoner, Damon Barrick manages to overpower Madison and escapes with her gun.
Once Jonas has recovered enough to get moving, Madison joins him in trying to track their escapee. As the manhunt increases with more support, Madison is determined to apprehend Damon Barrick. He is a deadly con man who charms wealthy women, gains access to their money, and then kills them. Follow along on this deadly game of tag as these two US Marshals do not give up the chase! I look forward to reading more in this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. And wouldn't you know, it's a cliff hanger!! The plot is great, and I love the way everything just seemed to flow. I can't wait to have this book at my library so I can recommend it to everyone.

The escape is a fast moving gripping novel.  I was engaged and enjoyed the descriptions throughout. The relationship development is interesting to observe.

Madison James and Jonas Quinn team up as U.S. Marshals to transfer two criminals from Seattle Washington to Denver Colorado.  When their plane crashed they were always a step behind when trying to capture the missing murderer.

The book started talking about the murder of Madison's husband and giving a hint of mystery with the arrival of black roses.  It then focused on an unrealistic love story between Madison and Jonas.  I found myself wondering about Jonas always falling for coworkers!  And the original mystery was never solved - just mentioned again at the end to try to entice us to read the next book.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.  All opinions expressed are my own.

This book was action packed the whole way through and I am totally sad that it's a series since I desperately want to read book two now! Reminds self that patience is a virtue!
I liked that there were two mysteries going on in the book and one characters motives were slightly ambigious (I can't say any more or I'll be giving spoilers).

I highly recommend this book and will be suggesting it to others. I've read Lisa Harris' other works and I know of at least two people that I've suggested read her, that are now fans. So should you read this? Totally!

I enjoyed this book.  A lot of cat and mouse chases with a fugitive who is determined to escape.  I liked the characters and the setting.
