"Desert Secrets" is another great suspense novel from Lisa Harris, featuring exotic locales, non-stop action, thrilling adventure and wonderful characters who place their faith and trust in God. Lisa Harris is one of those authors whose books just demand that you read them. Once you start reading, it's nearly impossible to stop. All of the action is believable and could be pulled from today's headlines, and the situations they find themselves in and how they manage to extricate themselves, make for an action adventure thrill ride that's akin to watching a great movie. There's always a wonderful romance, and the author manages to bring up thought-provoking questions of life, faith and God, easily and unobtrusively woven throughout the story. This is another excellent book by an excellent author. ( )

Desert Secrets by Lisa Harris is a Love Inspired suspense novel and is a book you will need to fasten your seatbelt for. The breakneck action, taking place over just a few short days, begins in the first chapter with the kidnapping of the heroine, Lexi, a young engineer who has gone to Timbuktu, Mali to help provide water for the many in need of fresh, clean water. The action continues til the end of the book with scenes like more kidnappings, plane crashes and chases through the Sahara desert. With the barren terrain and blistering sandstorms and insurgents continuing to pursue her, Lexi's contentment she'd found in helping people was quickly slipping into panic mode? Will Lexi ever get out of the mess she's in--the mess her stepbrother caused with his greed for money? Can she trust Colton, the handsome and very capable man she recently met? Is there a chance for a romance amidst all the chaos? The author has written a plot that crackles with energy and tells an entertaining and suspenseful story. The characters are realistic, intense, and evocative--you definitely are rooting for the good guys to catch the bad guys and to catch them in time! Through all the action and drama, faith in a God who cares is woven into the story, reminding readers that God can be relied on for strength and wisdom. Even when the unexpected hits and the end is uncertain, we can know that God is right there in the middle of it all.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author. A review was not required and the opinions are my own. ( )

Don’t have much time to read a full length novel at the moment? Are you looking for a quick read between books? Look no further! Desert Secrets is filled with action, suspense, overseas adventure and some romance. Lisa Harris shares with readers a story about a young woman taken captive in the Sahara Desert and Lexi has no idea why until she learns that her step brother has stolen money from some very mean people who intend on getting it back regardless of the cost.
Colton flies planes that help missionaries get into remote areas and bring supplies. He discovers his brother-in-law is taken captive too. In time, he finds his brother-in-law and Lexi hoping to end the nightmare for both of them, but it is just beginning! From the beginning to the end, people will be glued to the intense action to see what is going to happen next to characters in the book. I like Love Inspired Suspense because the action starts from the first page and usually doesn’t let up until the end. They are books I know I will enjoy and can read quickly for enjoyment or because I am in between books.
Grab any Love Inspired Suspense and you’ll see faith, action, and romance are part of each book! ( )
