Elizabeth Goddard is a master of fast-paced suspense. Storm Warning is definitely evidence of her ability to keep the action coming and keep the reader turning pages. I enjoy a suspense novel that makes me think I know how the story is going to p lay out, but in the end tosses me about just like a storm.

Hawk and Remi make the perfect pair – one trying to forget and one trying to remember. Goddard’s writing takes the reader right to the Washington Coast awaiting a storm of great magnitude. I felt the tension from the storm and the intrigue as Hawk and Remi try to remain safe from both the weather and a killer. The romance is an integral part of the story, not forced or cheesy.

I have read other books by this author, but not many. I will certainly be adding them to my reading list in the future.

This book is recommended for readers of Christian romantic suspense especially if you like a whodunit with surprise twists and turns.

I was given a copy of this book by the author. I was not required to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.

What a fast paced suspense novel with Christian themes, sweet and natural romance, and twists and turns that keep you reading!

The characters were great and the story was interesting with the amnesia and memory recovery.

The setting was beautiful and I loved the sea and storm addition.

I enjoyed the chemistry between Hawk and Remi. However, this book seemed to take a little longer for me to get into. I did enjoy the twist at the end and was surprised when Remi finally got her memory back. I do enjoy Elizabeth Goddard’s writing and recommend her books.

I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

Such a great story. It was so well written you felt like you were with Remi and Hawk while running from the bad guys. Things take a twist and you don't know who to trust. While Remi is trying to remember what memories she lost, Hawk protects her. Lots of suspense, romance and mystery.

Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard has everything. Strong tortured hero, resilient heroine, amnesia, second chance, and isolated stormy rocky Washington coastline setting. There was so much action packed in this story of former army photographer Remi Grant fighting to remember some missing days while helicopter pilot Hawk Beckett is struggling with regrets.

There are so many twists and turns that I did not see coming. Even after the main villain had been caught, I was still surprised by the turn of events. Storm Warning is the perfect blend of incredibly strong, determined characters, nonstop action, believable romance and reliance on God. Highly recommend this Christian based suspense thriller.

** “Hawk found himself crying out to God more than he had in far too long, and maybe that’s what despair did. It brought a man to his knees before God.” **

Elizabeth Goddard begins her new Hidden Bay series with “Storm Warning,” a heart-stopping thriller about dealing with the past.

Remi Grant is literally hiding away in Hidden Bay while managing the Cedar Trails Lodge. Suffering from amnesia over a horrific event in her past, she begins to receive mysterious packages encouraging her to “remember.”

Hawk Beckett finds himself at Cedar Trails after being encouraged to visit by his former mentor John. But when he keeps finding himself thrown into dangerous situations — coming to Remi’s rescue — he knows there’s more than meets the eye with Remi and the lodge.

As the two work together to figure out what’s happening, all while major storms rage, can they overcome past traumas, learn to trust each other, determine whom else they can trust, and figure out what is happening and just what Remi needs to remember.

Goddard does an incredible job, as usual, of filling a plot with twists and turns, all while including just enough romance to please the reader. She creates intriguing characters, with both flaws and strengths. And she includes some great themes, like even when we feel abandoned, God is with us; finding patience and perspective, including sometimes we need to look at things from a different angle; Psalm 93:3-4; dealing with past horrors (“What is it about some minds that hide the horror, bury it away, and other minds turn the memories into a living nightmare?”); and we can always cry out to God.

Fans of authors like Lynette Eason, Lisa Harris, Patricia Bradley and Terri Blackstock will truly enjoy this novel, which is due out Feb. 18.

Five stars out of five.

If you are looking for a high octane suspense that is action packed, Storm Warning is the book for you. Things don’t add up as Hawk Beckett is assigned to take down an assassin and is drawn into a dangerous situation with Remi Grant’. Remi's memory begins after a horrific accident on a military mission, but will what she remember put her in danger? I loved the twists that took place throughout the story. I thought I had things figured out, only to realize that things weren’t what they seemed. I was happy to see the romance occur between Remi and Hawk, who was always there to protect her.

Things to love:
helicopters
danger
intrigue
rugged scenery
military secrets

I highly recommend reading this book for its suspense and clean romance. This is the first in the Hidden Bay series, and I am looking forward to reading more!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an early copy of the book. All opinions are my own.

I enjoyed reading Storm Warning, the first book in Elizabeth Goddard’s new Hidden Bay romantic suspense series. I read the book quickly, within twenty-four hours, because I was hooked into the story from the start and couldn’t put it down.

Remi has amnesia and can’t remember what happened in Eastern Europe two years ago that caused her to suppress her memories. She’s a photographer who’s ex-army and there are dangerous people looking for her.

Remi leaves behind her life in Nebraska and ends up managing an isolated storm-watching vacation lodge perched on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Olympic Coast in Washington. Remi believes she’s safe in Hidden Bay until mysterious puzzle pieces that might be connected to her missing memories are sent to the lodge.

Hawk is staying at Remi’s lodge because he was given a tip that someone he’s looking for might be in the area. He’s a helicopter pilot with a military background and there’s a massive storm heading their way.

Hawk rescues Remi from a perilous situation during the ferocious storm and they team up to survive the danger surrounding them. Their forced proximity sparks an unexpected attraction that they can’t keep ignoring. I loved seeing Remi and Hawk getting to know each other in pressure cooker situations that test their character.

A wild ride ensues as the action-packed twists and turns in the story challenge Hawk and Remi to reassess everything they believe to be true, including their beliefs in God and His providence. I recommend Storm Warning to romantic suspense readers who like fast-paced thrillers with the amnesia trope and a relevant faith element in the story.

Many thanks to Revell and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy.

Wow! Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard kids off her new Hidden Bay series in a hardcore way! This isn't your average romantic suspense - the suspense and, with it, the action-adventure sequences - took center stage in this book for me.

Which isn't to say that it doesn't smolder, because it totally does. Hawk Beckett is definitely my favorite kind of hero, and I love Remi's willingness to throw caution to the wind so that she help those in need. With most of the book taking place at a historic resort on a seaside cliff's edge, the wildness of nature plays an active role, too.

The plot, though? It's wild, too. I got blindsided at the end, and that doesn't happen often, but it was great. I won't say much, because I want to you get to experience that, and you should - so get Storm Warning on your TBR list. This is a story you want to take on.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Remi can't remember what happened. Others want her to remember but why? What is so important that they will kill for it?
This kept me guessing all the way to the end. It was such an action packed read.

I received this book as an ARC with no expectations of a postive review. Remi Grant moved to Hidden Bay to try to recover the memories she had forgotten. Hawk came to Hidden Bay to recover from a tramatic experience while being a police officer in which he lost his job. Remi is the manager of the lodge and cottages. More than one person wanted Remi to remember. She was flustrated that nothing was coming back. Why could she not remember? She was suddenly caught in a battle with unknown assailants who wanted her alive to extract what she could not remember. Hawk was there at every turn to protect her. Who could they trust? This book had so many twists and turns that you never saw coming. It is a fabulous new series that is a must read.

(2.5 / 5)

Remi Grant has come to Hidden Bay, a remote resort where visitors come to watch storms on the coast, to try to recover memories lost during a traumatic event that seems to have left her a target by unknown persons. Hawk Beckett has come to Hidden Bay to forget a recent tragedy that cost him his job and the life of a friend. When a masked menace seems to be stalking Remi and Hawk saves her life multiple times, they realize that they may already be more connected than they realize.

The thing I liked most about this book was the setting—the descriptions of the ocean, forest, and storms were all really immersive. Unfortunately, I found the characters and story only okay. I didn't get much of a feel for Remi's character at all, and the only real personality I could ascribe to Hawk is that he's protective (which is fairly standard fair for the MMC in a book like this). I do like that he's trying to track down a certain person (don't want to spoil anything) to try to turn him around (from the "dark side" as is so often said by different characters). The book takes place over only about 4 days, and by the end of the first day, which is quite a ways into the book, Remi and Hawk are already trying to talk themselves out of wanting a future with each other. It's just too fast of a connection like that for my taste, though I understand that a romance book with such a short timeline would require a quick connection. I didn't see that connection as natural, though, and besides, maybe in a case like this, it doesn't always have to involve romance that is actually acted upon by the end of the book. 

The writing is a bit stilted as well, both in the prose and in the dialog. I struggled a lot with the flow and pacing and ended up skimming a lot to get past multiple paragraphs that rehashed the same musings about Remi's missing memories or Hawk's difficulties. The book is billed as Christian, but it’s barely that. Not that I need every Christian-genre book to have some kind of strong message, but it's mostly silent, single-sentence prayers every once in a while, pleading with God for other characters to be all right. Hawk, at least, does have a bit of a progression of his faith, but it's fairly meager as well.

I don’t think the book was bad, exactly, but I'm learning that this sub-genre of books may just not be for me. It’s clean overall—no language and light on the violence—and though the Christianity in it is a little light, based on other reviews, I think it’s safe to say that if you’re interested in this type of book, you should check it out. There are plenty of reviews in favor of it, so be sure to read some of those too.

I enjoyed the suspense park of the is one as well as the fact that Remi was a former Army Photographer I've never seen that career in a book let alone romantic suspense. However at least to me the romance between Remi and Hawk felt rushed. But I still enjoyed the story and look forward to

I enjoyed this book very much. It was high energy and there was a lot going on at all times. Most of the book only spanned a couple of days and there was a lot packed into such a short time line. The main characters had secrets and many unknowns (one of them-literally as they were dealing with amnesia). The stormy Pacific Coast was a great backdrop and if you like adventure and mystery this book held plenty of both.

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

How does one expect to sleep with a heart hammering in the chest, images of terror imprinted on the mind, breathing so quickened one wonders if normal can possibly resume? This author writes in such a way, there’s no mistaking the result is all of the above! Yet through it all, she integrates the presence and protection of God as hearts cry out to Him and He remains faithful to His promises. Wow. What a story!

An interesting story: Remi can't remember a traumatic event, but someone wants her to. The question is whether she can afford to remember. Someone seems determined to prevent her from remembering. Hawk is at her side when that someone is trying to take her out. Can she trust him? Should she? She needs to trust someone. Hawk is trying to find his brother, and all indications are that his brother is the one pursuing Remi.

This book has twists and turns as it races through the storm of Oregon toward a conclusion. There are sweet hints of romantic tension to add to the suspense. A truly enjoyable read that I can recommend to those who love Elizabeth's books that add nature as a part of the suspense.

Wow!
A fierce storm, multiple attacks, running for your life, and amnesia; what more can one woman take? Add to that a mysterious hero, and you have the makings of a very suspenseful story.
I haven’t read many books by Elizabeth Goddard, but I will from now on! Her writing is exceptional, and the storyline is easy to follow. The dialogue between the characters moved the story along at a quick pace—so fast and intense that I needed to catch my breath a few times. I also didn’t want to put the book down!
I read way past my bedtime because I didn’t want to stop.
Action, drama, suspense, major life-threatening storms, and mysterious people made this story come alive and so captivating!
I’m just glad I wasn’t a character in this story! I love the Pacific Northwest, where this story takes place, and we get some rainy weather, but this was so much more! Wow!
If you want to read a book packed full of intrigue, suspense, action (LOTS OF ACTION!), drama, military struggles, and a bit of romance, then this is the book for you!
You might need a day or two to process everything in this book.
Believe me, you won't be able to breathe deeply until the end, but it will be worth it.
I highly recommend reading this book. Pick it up and start on the adventure of your life.
The publisher gave me this book, but this did not influence my review in any way; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book captured my attention from the first page and kept me reading way past my bedtime. It is full of action, adventure, and mystery. It has so many twists and turns that lead to a great ending. And from reading the sneak peak at the next book, I am even more excited to see more stories in this series.

Hawk Beckett is a helicopter flying ex hero who races to rescue Remi Grant as she is about to fall to her death. When she sees him, a flash of her missing memories comes to her mind and she wonders if he is the key to remembering what happened. But can she trust him when it seems someone is trying to silence her forever? And will Hawk be able to help Remi remember what happened before it's too late?

I highly recommend you give this one a read if you like Christian suspense with some romance weaved in.

Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard left me utterly drenched in suspense and awe. This book unleashed a storm of emotions and faith, and I couldn't look away. The tension was palpable, and the danger relentless, but it was the underlying thread of God's presence that truly held my attention and my heart.

This was a page turner from the get-go, with nonstop, action and heart pounding scenes of danger.
Remi has hidden at Cedar Trails Lodge in the Pacific Northwest for two years, trying to recoup her memories after a close call with death. The storm of the decade is approaching, but so is someone who is after Remi, urging her to remember before it’s too late. Hawk comes to her rescue more than once, and he becomes the one person she can trust.
This plot was very complicated with many twists and uncertainty lurking in the background. The characters were focused on doing the right thing, even with limited knowledge.
The author gave Remi a strong faith to sustain her, even when she has gaps in her memory. Hawk is weaker in his faith, but it grows as the story unfolds. They rely on God when things get tough and boy do they get tough.
Riveting, action, and things that are not what they seem had me turning pages until the end.
