For fans of Christian romantic suspense, this book is for you! It’s extremely atmospheric and filled with page-turning plot twists.

First of all, this book is immersive! The setting gives readers a unique view of a stormy lodge from page one. I absolutely loved this! I could easily picture everything and the setting added more suspense to the already spooky plot.

The mystery was SO intriguing. I enjoyed the plot twists and the heart-pounding moments. Honestly, I’m fairly good at figuring out the secrets of a mystery book because I’ve read so many mysteries. However, Storm Warning kept me on my toes, which I liked!

Finally, the romance was very sweet. I liked that both characters grew to passionately and protectively care for each other. Plus, they had to depend on God and each other in uncertain moments.

WOW! This book is literally an absolute page-turner! What a roller coaster!
I had a very hard time putting it down, I read it in one weekend! And that was because I didn’t have enough time to do it in one sitting. But if I had, I would have done it!
The plot is very fast paced and full of turns and twists that you don’t see coming. Lots of deadly persecution and escapes. The mystery about Remi’s amnesia will intrigue you until almost the last page, because things won’t unravel completely until then. It’s pieces by pieces. And it’s a multi-layered plot because both main characters have mysterious and complex past events that make the whole plot so suspenseful and intriguing. It also felt realistic and very emotional. I love the way the author makes you feel along with the characters: their fears, their uncertainty, the feeling of unworthiness and yet hope, the desire to face the danger to make things right.
In fact, the characters were the best part of the story. Remi and Hawk are both deep and complex characters, and I loved that. Remi is straightforward, strong, resilient and vulnerable. Her amnesia grates at her, knowing she’s a deadly target, but not remembering what happened, but she trusts God. I loved her courage and stubbornness. Hawk is the perfect hero in many ways: he’s flawed, yes, and has a moral dilemma on his conscience, but he has a huge heart that makes him do anything to help others in need, even if they are evil. The way he devotes to protect Remi, even if he just met her, took my breath away. Especially the way he risks his life once and again for her. He’s mysterious from the beginning, but what he hides are painful issues he’s barely trying to comprehend. Hence, his stay at Remi’s lodge, to reflect and gather his thoughts, but before he can even do that, things turn a deadly turn.
The chemistry and romance between Remi and Hawk were powerful, even if the situation made Remi wary at first. I love how Hawk respects Remi and her boundaries as she is trying to figure out if he’s trustworthy. And was he ever: he would even die for her!
The plot is very fast paced, with action, intrigue, and deadly risks at every turn. Can’t tell much about this to avoid spoilers, but believe me when I say you’ll have a very hard time putting this book down. Add to everything the storm of the decade! It’s a nail chipper!
The metaphorical part of a journey through a fierce storm, externally, but at the same time and most important, internally, for both the characters made the story more profound, touching and inspiring. There’s a deep inspirational message in the story, of trusting God and His Providence in the most -literally- stormy of circumstances, of facing our past and making peace with it through God’s eyes, of healing and redemption. The way Hawk starts to pray to God by sheer necessity, and how that relationship grows into something more intimate was humbling. Remi’s faith is stronger from the beginning, and the way she turned to Him at all times and discovered His presence, even during isolation and hiding, made me want to deepen my relationship with God myself. God is “the” anchor for her and the way Psalm 93: 3-4 -about the Lord enthroned in majesty above the mighty waves of the sea- resonated in her, particularly touched me.
All in all, a thrilling and inspiring read that will captivate you! A must read!
Can't wait for the second book in the Hidden Bay Series!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell Fiction Publishers vía NetGalley and was under no obligation to post a review. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.

Hang on to your hat! This appealing story is a roller coaster ride full of danger, questions, twists and surprises, if not shocking relations! I do love stories withy amnesia, and this story was even more rich in the ways professionals help people dealing with it. Set on the rocky coast of Washington, Remi loves it there, and was there to see if she could recover the missing days of her life. She meets Hawk, a former military pilot, who is in recovery-mode, too. Things get strange and dangerous, and they need to turn to each other. I found the story very appealing, as well as the characters! I really love reading anything this author writes and look forward to her next book!.
I read this book, compliments of the publishers. The opinions expressed are my own honest thoughts.

Remi Grant can’t remember an incident that left her injured and on the run. She can’t name the person who hunts her, nor can she remember the incident that led to the accident. While she waits for her memory to return, Remi flees to the Washington coast to manage a storm lodge. The rustic refuge where tourists gather year-round to watch the ferocious storms from the safety of a warm cabin or cozy lodge reminds her of her childhood running a B&B with her mom.

When a puzzle piece and warning show up in her office, Remi starts to remember snippets of what happened that fateful day, but she’s no closer to knowing who wants her dead. After a handsome ex-military pilot saves her from certain death twice, Remi must trust her instincts when unknown forces converge on the lodge during one of the worst storms of the decade.

On the recommendation of his former CO, Hawk Beckett travels to a remote lodge in Washington and stumbles upon a plot to eliminate an innocent woman and unleash a vile plot to strangle democracy. A plot that may involve his estranged brother.

Hawk will do anything to save an innocent life, even if it endangers his own. Hawk struggles to gain the mysterious Remi Grant’s trust as the storm of the decade gathers along the coast. They’ll never uncover the plot and bring the evildoers to justice if she can't trust him. But in a world where no one seems trustworthy, can anyone ever be fully known?

What I Loved About This Book
Elizabeth Goddard’s fast-paced novels leave readers in suspense as the protagonists struggle to unravel the web of deceit entangling them. I dare you to put this book down once you pick it up! Readers will relate to Remi and her struggle to trust and Hawk’s feelings of betrayal from those he trusted the most.

I received a free advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

A twisted, dangerous suspense drama, this novel leaves one wondering who can actually be trusted. Characters with trauma and secrets in their pasts are thrown together to sort out how to survive and how to help make things right. The haunting tale keeps readers engaged and on edge to learn how it will all turn out. I enjoyed the setting since I once lived on the Olympic Peninsula int Northwest Washington, where it does rain sideways. The storms referred to by the title are found in both the external in nature and the internal in the struggles the troubled characters face. I received a copy from the author. All opinions are my own.

Warning! 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, by Elizabeth Goddard, is a suspenseful page-turner that will quickly suck you in quick and make you a storm-watcher. And what a storm!

If you enjoy suspenseful reads this one is a must. It’ll keep you guessing. And I’ve no doubt you’ll grow to love Remi Grant and Hawk Beckett (great names, btw) like I did. It’s easy to root for Remi who struggles with lost memories, and Hawk is my kind of rescuer! The chemistry is spot on, and I wondered how their stories would merge.

I love it when a story keeps me completely engaged and unpredictable. It kept me guessing. I’ve never been to Washington’s coast, but I now feel like I have.

This atmospheric story holds plenty of danger and suspense, and just the right amount of romance to keep all my senses engaged. I can’t recommend this one enough. And it’s the first in a series, so there’s more to come! Yay!

#CoverLoverBookReview received an advanced reader copy of this book. Opinions are 100% my own.

This is a fast-paced book with lots of twists and turns. The characters are relatable and believable. I know it's fiction, but I don't particularly care when an author consistently puts the characters in very perilous weather conditions. Even if bad guys are chasing you or waiting for you to come out of the safe space you've found, any sane person would not go out at night into a torrential down pour with wind gusts blowing the rain horizontally. It kind of spoils the believability of the whole story. It make me question the intelligence of the characters.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC for my honest opinion.

Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard is the first book in her new series Hidden Bay. It is the perfect book to read if you love inspirational romantic suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat and coming back for more.
Remi Grant is working in an isolated storm-watching lodge while trying to recover memories from her forgotten past. As she struggles to remember someone is out to make sure that she never remembers what happened by trying to kill her while Hawk Beckett, former military who is dealing with a catastrophic event in his life has already saved her life twice.
Now they just need to get through one of the worst storms they have had in a decade and stop the person who has forced them all into survival mode.
I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more books in this series in the future.

I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.

I loved reading this book which was the start to a new series called Hidden Bay. There were so many unexpected twists and turns with lots of mystery and suspense- I loved it! Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down.

Both Remi and Hawk find themselves at the same lodge in Washington state-one is trying to forget the past, the other one is desperately trying to remember. I really liked both of the main characters. They were both strong and determined, along with helping each other to figure out who was targeting them and wanted them dead.

If you like on the edge of your seat, clean Christian fiction-you will love this new book and series! I found it inspirational and intriguing! I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

'...she'd wanted someone to find her.
And they had.
Two someones.
Someone to warn her.
Someone to kill her.'

Romantic suspense, one of my favorite genres!

This suspense will not disappoint. It is more suspense heavy than romance heavy, but the forced proximity will help the romance lovers enjoy this book as well. If you like suspense-you should definitely add this to your must read list!

The suspense had me turning pages late into the night. There are twists and turns that I thought I anticipated and then they hit me even harder than I thought they would-it was AMAZING! This is my first book by Elizabeth Goddard and I can't wait to see what she writes next.

This book had a mashup of forced proximity, suspense/action, amnesia (accident causing the FMC to forget 5 days) as well as redemption/forgiveness vibes.

If you like suspense, action, mystery--not everything is as it seems I think you would absolutely love this book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Content: military type action/suspense/violence, kidnapping, loss of loved ones, loss of memory, two casual uses of a religious exclamation, romance-kisses only.

From the very first page, Storm Warning pulls you in with its gripping twists and turns. The mystery keeps you guessing about the villain and their motives until the big reveal. I especially enjoyed how Remi and Hawk worked as a team—unraveling her lost memories while fighting to keep her alive.

Remi Grant, a former army photographer, suffers from amnesia tied only to a traumatic accident. Now working at a storm-watching lodge on Washington’s rugged coast, she’s unknowingly at the center of a dangerous secret. The author’s vivid descriptions bring the setting to life—you can almost feel the cold, relentless storm and imagine the lodge’s haunting beauty.

Hawk Beckett, a former military pilot, arrives with his own past to confront. As danger closes in, he becomes both Remi’s protector and an integral part of her journey. Their dynamic, combined with the novel’s suspenseful storytelling, makes for an unforgettable read.

This book has several layers of mystery to unravel. Even the main characters don't understand what's happening and why they are where they are at times. I liked the complexity of it and the twists and surprises.

I wasn't 100% sold on Remi and I'm not sure why. At one point they were in grave danger and had just started to flee when she insisted they stop and get food. That didn't ring true for me. I feel you'd want to get far far away before you'd prioritize your hunger.

I loved the setting and look forward to exploring Cedar Trails Lodge more and hearing about Jo's background in the next book. Thank you to Revell for providing me with a free e-copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this Christian Romantic Suspense. I loved how the story pulled you in from the first page and you wanted to know what happened next. I loved all the unexpected twist and turns in the story and how you weren’t sure of who the bad guy was and what his motives were until they were revealed. I loved how Remi and Hawk worked well as a team as they tried to help Remi regain her memories while keeping her alive. I also liked how they were able to help each other work through some of their past issues. I also loved the setting. Having grown up in WA, I love that it was set there and that I could visualize some of the places. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, and or authors.  A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.

Elizabeth Goddard starts her new Hidden Falls series with Storm Warning. Knowing Goddard's skill, I was ready for a great read. She is known for writing amazing Christian Romantic Suspense.

Remi Grant is the main character in Storm Warning. She has amnesia after a bad accident when she was an army photographer. Remi now lives and works at a storm-watching lodge. The lodge is on the rocky coast of Washington State. Hawk Beckett, a former military pilot, enters her life and soon, things get intense for Remi and Hawk. Someone wants Remi dead because her mind hides a secret from her past. Hawk steps up as her hero and protector. He also struggles to heal from his own past mistakes.

I loved the spark between Remi and Hawk and enjoyed the romance that blossomed amidst the chaos. Danger, betrayal, and twists filled their journey along with kidnappings and attacks keeping them on edge. Trust was hard to find as they fought to survive. The story shows Remi's faith in God and Hawk's journey to believe. They both learn the power of prayer.

Set against Washington's stunning coastline with intense storms, Storm Warning delivers non-stop action. It's full of tension and plenty of false clues to mislead readers. The villain's reveal caught me off guard. Overall, Elizabeth Goddard delivers another top-notch suspense novel.

4.5 stars

Buckle up, y’all – because Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard is an intense fight for survival where it’s hard to tell the bad guys from the good guys (and vice versa) and you aren’t sure who’s going to make it out alive.

The suspense elements in this book kept me on the edge of my seat. If I wasn’t holding my breath, wondering how Remi and Hawk were going to get out of the latest bout of immediate danger they were facing, I was stunned by one of the layered plot twists. I’m usually much better at anticipating surprises in my mystery & suspense reads, but Goddard caught me off guard more than once in Storm Warning… and I loved it!! Remi’s blocked memories, the intriguing storm lodge (where some people go to watch coastal storms …. and some people go to hide), the puzzle pieces Remi keeps getting in the mail, Hawk’s complex ties to the danger chasing Remi, the harsh weather that starts them out at a disadvantage… all of it makes for a riveting read that you won’t want to put down until you know they’re finally safe. Not only that, but I’m already champing at the bit for book two after the preview tucked at the end of this story. And I’m grateful that I only have to wait until July instead of (perish the thought!) next year.

Remi and Hawk are both great characters with more to each of them than first meets the eye. One wants to forget. One wants to remember. Both will need Jesus more than ever to face what’s ahead. I loved exploring the nuances of their backstories as well as the different facets to their personalities, and I would want either of them – both of them – on my side in a heartbeat should I ever be running for my life… or just hanging out with friends for game night. The chemistry between them is palpable and their mutual mission to survive heightens this attraction quickly into deeper feelings in a way that makes absolute sense for the story. We are treated to some sweet scenes and some swoony kisses in the midst of the storms swirling around them (the weather kind and the ‘bad guys are after us’ kind), and Goddard had me rooting strongly for their blossoming love story to have a happily-ever-after.

Bottom Line: Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard sweeps readers off our feet and plunges us into a high-stakes race to help Remi regain her repressed memories before someone silences her for good. I wasn’t sure who I could trust, beyond Remi and Hawk, as allegiances get murky and people aren’t who they seem, and I devoured the story as quickly as possible. The multidimensional characters (including those in supporting roles) are vibrantly drawn and have me eager for the rest of the series, too. Goddard perfectly balances the romantic tension with the suspense, timing things just right to keep us fully engaged and invested in the outcome, and I loved how she naturally wove the faith threads into the fabric of the story too. This is a wonderful kickoff to a new series, and a really enjoyable read on its own!

(I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book)

Storm season in the Pacific Northwest is particularly harrowing this year, as it finds Remi Grant facing her demons and running for her life. A chance run in with a foreign physicist has made her the target of arms dealers and government operatives hungry to get their hands on the dead man’s technology. Hiding was an effective strategy until it was not. Now the winds, waves, and storms pummeling her beloved coast are just added complications as she struggles to stay alive. Hawk Beckett is also a complication; he seems to arrive at just the right time and is oddly attached to Remi, unless there is an ulterior motive. Struggling to regain her memory seems more urgent when she cannot tell who to trust. But Hawk knows a thing or two about trust; learning that his brother and his mentor are both involved in this situation with Remi in one way or another is enough to shake all he thinks he knows.

Elizabeth Goddard knows romance and suspense. Storm Warning is no exception. With characters so well developed they feel like family and settings so vivid you cannot help but feel like you are there, Goddard pulls you in and holds your attention securely through the entire story. Storm Warning is a gutsy, action packed wallop that is the first in a series I can’t wait to continue.

Thank you to the author and publisher for allowing me a copy to read and review. All opinions expressed here are my own and are completely genuine.

Having amnesia is causing Remi a lot of headaches and when she starts getting mysterious puzzle pieces, things start getting harrowing. Welcome Hawk into the picture. His appearance at times when Remi is in danger is giving her the heebie jeebies! Add to that getting kidnapped and Remi is running for her life while trying to protect people at the resort she is running. While Hawk is trying to help, other outside forces are determined to steer him offtrack. Come along for this exciting adventure and see if you can figure out who did what before someone really does lose their life!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense and high adventure, God, and a great romance!

I received an ARC from the author; however, my review is done of my own volition and is my own opinion.

A fast paced survival suspense, with strong likable characters, filled with faith and resilience.

Remi Grant has been managing a storm watching lodge on the Washington Coast ever since she lost her memory. But when the storms pick up she finds that her past has come back to haunt her, but she doesn't remember what she forgot. Hawk Beckett comes to her aid, and pretty soon he's swept into the mystery too, trying to help Remi remember before it's too late.

An engaging suspense read, with a compelling plot, and a great mix of survival and intrigue suspense. Remi is making the best of her new life, and I liked how she held to her faith in uncertain times. She and Hawk make a great team, it was nice seeing them work together and problem solve.

Overall, a fantastic read from beginning to end, and great start to a new series. Loved the outdoors survival suspense, as well as the high stakes intrigue!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Storm Warning, is a great start to Elizabeth Goddard’s new series Hidden Bay. Remi Grant has gone to the Washington coast to hide and hopefully recover her memory of a traumatic incident. A former Army photographer she now manages a lodge. When Hawk Beckett, a previous army and police helicopter pilot shows up she’s suspicious. Hawk has come to the lodge to regroup and get an outlook of what is next.

They decide to work together when Remi is repeated attacked seemingly because of what she can’t remember. Who is behind the attacks? What has her mind hidden from her?

Elizabeth has written an riviting story of romance and suspense that keeps you turning the pages. What a great beginning to a new series.

I received this book from the publisher and was not required to leave a review. The opinion is my own.

Loved this first book in the new series Hidden Bay. Remi Grant has left the past in the past and made a new life for herself. So when a ladder is sabotaged and she get's attacked when trying to remove a felled tree, she starts to wonder if she has been found. Hawk Beckett is looking for a place to stay for a bit and was recommended Cedar Trails, a place that is almost completely off the grid. People stick to themselves and can once again connect with nature a themselves. When Hawk keeps appearing to rescue Remi, she starts to wonder what he is really doing there? Why this place? Puzzle pieces, kidnapping and a masked person running around, Remi now fears her past has found her, but who is she to trust? Hawk seems bound to help her, but when he realizes who is after her or him, it just makes things that much more complicated. Is it Remi and her memory they are after, or does Hawk also have something in his past? As the action and running ramps up, Remi starts to get pieces of her past back. Is she remembering really what happened and what exactly are they after? Can she trust Hawk and his connections to protect her? This was a very high action read with a few twists. I enjoyed the scenery and would love to visit an off the grid place like Cedar Trails! Thank you to the publisher and author for the complementary novel and allowing me to be a part of the launch team. I am excited to see what characters are in book two! This review is of my own opinion and accord.
