Review: The Chase by Lisa Harris

 

About:

Failure isn't an option

US Marshal Madison James may not be sure who shot her three months ago, but she does know one thing--it's time to get back out into the field. When her partner, Jonas Quinn, receives a message that a federal warrant just came in on a man connected to a string of bank robberies, Madison jumps at the chance to get back to work. What she and Jonas find is a bank robbery gone wrong--and things are about to get complicated.

For these bank robbers, it's never been about the money. It's about taking risks and adrenaline rushes, and getting caught is not part of the game. When the suspects escape, Madison and Jonas must hunt them down and bring them to justice before someone else--someone close to them--gets hurt . . . or worse.

My Thoughts:

This was a story that kept the reader and the characters on their toes. Appropriately titled the Chase, US Marshals Madison and her partner Jonas Quinn are chasing some very crazy bank robbers who only seem to care about the adrenaline their bank robberies give them. Now with this latest one there have been causalities. And whether they meant to hurt someone or not, they did and it is up to this US Marshal team to bring them in, hopefully without anyone else getting hurt.

There is a thread of romance between Madison and Jonas that runs through the series. Madison is dealing with the fact that she was shot three months ago and no memory of who. And her husband was also killed years ago. I don't know if all is connected or if Madison will ever remember what happened. Hopefully the third book will answer all the questions and tie up all the loose ends.

I enjoyed the constant action in this story. I couldn't believe how pridefully foolish the bank robbers were nor their disdain for the law or human life. Sadly it just seemed to be a game to them, until it wasn't.

I received a copy of this novel from Revell Publishers through Interviews and Reviews. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
