You better put on your running shoes and your thinking cap before you start reading this complex mystery. It was atmospheric, chilling and utterly gripping as you go alongside the two main characters as they fight for survival against an unseen enemy.

The mind is a strange thing at times. The brain protects us when we need it and cannot handle a catastrophic memory. This is the case with Remi Grant. She is a former army photographer who has no memory of a tragic day in her past. She survived, but she has no memory of that fateful day. She is content to live a quiet life at the inn on the rocky shores of the Pacific Ocean until she stars receiving mysterious puzzle pieces. Someone wants her to remember.

Former military pilot Hawk Beckett has arrived at the inn. He is there to find a quiet place to reflect and heal the hurt and pain of a past situation that has engulfed his very being. His solitude is immediately cut short with his first meeting with Remi, as it becomes readily apparent that someone has found Remi, and she is not safe. Trust will not come easy for Remi with this stranger.

This gripping tale will take you on a wild and crazy ride from the beginning chapter to the end with twists that will shock you.

Hawk emanates strength and character as he tries to protect this woman he barely knows. Remi is made of steel, whether she realizes it or not. Her mind may be cloudy, but her determination to survive make her a worthy adversary for anyone who dares to challenge her. One of my favorite quotes from the book comes from a time when Remi is a having a conversation with herself. "Lord, shine the light in the hidden places of my heart. What could be so bad that I've hidden it from myself? You know. You can see it. Help me to see it before it's too late." This cry for help came from her heart. This book is a mystery, with a little romance, but it is also very emotional.

Thank you to the author, Revell and NetGalley for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book is one adrenaline rush to another with barely room to take a breath. The action was nonstop, the intrigue and suspense kept me guessing, and the thread of attraction between Hawk and Remi was absolutely perfect.

I love the way the characters had to overcome personal struggles to move forward. Remi lost her memory after a tragic incident, and Hawk struggles with a mission gone bad, loss of his job, and a fruitless search for his brother. In the midst of it all his skills are needed to keep Remi safe.

Remi is freaked out when puzzle pieces start arriving along with a cryptic note telling her to remember. What is she supposed to remember? How? When her life is put on the line more than once, and Hawk is there to save her she’s relieved, but can she really trust him?

The mystery surrounding Remi’s memory loss left room for the author to play with different possibilities for suspects in the mind of the reader. I was totally surprised in the end which made the book so much better. I will definitely read this one again

I received a copy of the book courtesy of Revell through NetGalley. This is my honest opinion of the book.

Storm Warning was a seriously exciting riveting new book by Elizabeth Goddard.
Remi and Hawk's story kept me turning pages.

Remi's memory of a horrifying event is gone. But someone is out to kill her, and it's connected to this lost memory. Hawk is determined to help her regain her memory while protecting her. There's people after her and a lone gunman who looks strangely familiar to him.
The twists and turns in this story were what kept me reading page after page. And the ending! It was so unexpected that it had my jaw-dropping!!

I received this book from the publisher through the NetGalley review program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Storm Warning was such a good book. It held my attention and offered an amazing ending. I loved the characters' interactions and the way they solved their problems. The plot was spot on. There were a couple of twists and turns that I did not see coming, which added to the tension. The romance was appropriate for the genre, and the puzzle pieces added fun to the tension. My favorite was the opening scene when the heroine was stuck on a cliff ledge. Way to open with tension and keep it on every page, Elizabeth Goddard!

Creepy? Yes. Great setting? Yes. Believable? Not really at all.

Sadly, I can’t say that I recommend this book. It was “too” everything, and by the time I reached the end, I had no sense of how much time had passed in the book. Was it 3 days or 3 weeks? And as far as believability, this book felt all too fantastic to make me buy into the story - helicopters, faces in the waves, ex-army photographers getting kidnapped/injured multiple times in one book?

Beyond this the writing was choppy (probably partly due to the lay-out of the galley, but still). There were lots of asides or comments from the author that were hard to decipher if they were the thoughts of the characters or just the stated knowledge that the author was giving.

Action, suspense and mystery all packed into this fast paced story. Readers will find this book hard to put down as one twist after another keeps this story suspenseful to the end. As Remi tries to untangle her memories, she doesn’t know who to trust. Hawk is there to protect her or is he? Who’s behind the attempts on her life? Who’s sending her puzzle pieces of warnings? All these questions and more makes this a worthy read. Highly recommended!

What a fantastic start to a new series by Elizabeth Goddard! Riveting, fast paced suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Danger lurking around every corner will keep you guessing what is coming next and who can be trusted.

A story of secrets, danger, and survival set in a beautiful setting on the Washington coast. Remi Grant finds herself working at a hidden storm watching lodge as she recovers from amnesia where former Night Stalker pilot, Hawk Bennett, seems to keep coming to her rescue. As danger stalks Remi, she struggles to know who she can trust as her memory begins to return. Remi and Hawk must race to stay alive as Remi begins to piece together memories of her past before it is too late for them and national security.

This book is a must read! A thrilling start to the new Hidden Bay series with all the danger, suspense, romance, and great characters we have come to love from Elizabeth Goddard. I can’t wait for the next book in this series!

I was given a complimentary copy of this book by the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

Hidden Bay book #1

This brand-new series by one of my favourite authors is one fast-paced drama that kept my attention till I flipped the last page.

The story in a few words:

After a disturbing accident that left photographer Remi Grant struggling to remember she needed to get away and focus on the now. The perfect place to hide is on the Rocky Washington coast working at a lodge. There, twice her life was saved by Hawke Beckett, a former military pilot, with a past of his own and both are forced into survival mode…who wants Remi and Hawk eliminated…..

My thought:

I know from the get-go that I would love this book Ms. Goddard never miss a beat and has a knack to keep me at the edge of my seat. This latest was no exception, so many things going on, so many twists and turns it is almost impossible to foresee the next move. The mystery is very suspenseful and exciting. Who wanted to kill Remi and what was her dark secret?

Although Hawke wanted to forget his botch mission crossing path with Remi was all he needed and all the reasons he shouldn’t be helping her…..and chemistry between the two couldn’t be better and nature did its course….awe…

I enjoyed the remote location, the diversions created by the villains, and the delightful whodunit saga for our enjoyment.

Another excellent story by a master storyteller. Well-said and done.

This was a heart pounding story that had so many twists and turns I thought I’d get a crick in my neck. Loss of memory from a terrifying event caused Remi to hide away in an ocean lodge with little to no outside connections. Hawk shows up as a guest and saves her several times from a knife welding attacker . They try in desperation to stay one step ahead of their enemy. Lots of questions emerge as more and more happens. Are things as they seem or is something else going on?
Never would I have guessed the outcome. Exactly my kind of story!
I received a complimentary ebook from the author but was not required to write a review.

Remember before it is too late …. but who remembers everything anyway?

A major storm is assaulting the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. Cedar Trail Lodge is full of storm watchers, waiting for this storm to hit. But there is more than rain and wind in this storm. Remi Grant is suffering from amnesia after sustaining a head injury in an accident she cannot remember. As the danger gains momentum, a stranger arrives who wants to help. But can she trust Hawk Beckett?

This first book in the Hidden Bay series will keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering if Remi’s memory returning will keep her safe. I love a good storm, but I must admit this one had me holding my breath at times. An early copy was received through Baker Publishing Group, Revell and NetGalley. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.

I picked this up because I'm always curious how authors will handle the amnesia trope, since I live with amnesia (which is nothing like the trope). I liked Hawk and found him the first character I really bonded with. Remi was harder to get a gauge on for some reason, but I appreciated that we didn't get all the pieces at once and had to wait to find out what was going on. If you like suspense you'll find plenty here--I appreciate stories that don't slow down or let you catch your breath. For me the characters never quite felt real enough to get me emotionally involved, but it was still a fun ride.
For those who love Susan Clark Warren, Lynette Eason, or Dee Henderson, this book is a great intro to Elizabeth Goddard with the first book in this new series.

This was a good start to this new series. This is a Christian Romantic Suspense with a slow burn, sweet and swoony, no spice romance. Our hero is a former Night Stalker helicopter pilot for the Army and our heroine is former military photographer. She has found herself a place to hide and relax on the Washington coast in Hidden Bay - a place people travel to and stay as a retreat without cell service and wifi. She experienced a trauma some years back and is missing a week of memories. Our hero also has a past and a personal mission. Thrown together because of the storms - both weather related and human suspense - our characters have to work to unravel a tangled and convoluted web where loyalties are questioned and the waves threaten to overwhelm. I was kept guessing throughout and changed my mind multiple times - I did not end up accurately guessing all of the mysteries. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

The latest book by Elizabeth Goddard keeps you "tied in knots" from the beginning to the end! A huge storm happening at a coastal resort, which is basically off-the-grid in all respects, a manager(Remi) who is trying to remember an event from her past, an ex-military helicopter pilot (Hawk) who is trying to come to terms with events from his past, and an unknown person who is making attempts on Remi's life. Wow! Goddards's writing had me feeling the cold, wind and rain while reading as well as the anxious feeling of not knowing what is going to happen next. If you like action, suspense and trying to figure out who the bad guy is, this book is for you. Be warned, everyone is not as they appear and you may be surprised at the end! I can't wait for the next book in this series! I received an advance copy from the author, publisher and NetGalley but all opinions are my own.

Riveting, suspenseful, page turning, and several "I didn't see that coming" moments.
This book is fast paced, gripping and engrossing. I loved it!
Storm Warning isnt just about physical storms. The reader will take away a sense of storms in their own life that need either to be faced "head on" or "sheltered from" for a while. I've enjoyed all of Mrs. Goddard's books, but this is my favorite thus far. I'm excited for more books in this series.

Brilliant start to a new series! Storm Warning grabbed me from the very first line. Set in the stormy season in the Pacific Northwest, I could not turn pages fast enough while reading this fast paced suspense story with some surprise twists! I loved the chemistry between Remi and Hawk despite both of them thinking they were not in a place for a relationship.

Remi is enjoying being the manager at a rustic lodge, is trying to get her memory back from one near fatal day, and someone is after her because of the memories she can't access.

"You're going to die if you don't take my hands now." Hawk just met her, but feels very protective of her. "I’m the guy who’s going to help you get your memories back."

I highly recommend Storm Warning for lovers of excellent Christian romantic suspense, whodunits, military fiction, and happily ever-after. Seriously, you need to read this! I can't wait for book two in the series.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Net Galley for allowing me to read an early copy. All opinions are my own.

A fun suspense novel about a woman in hiding who happens to get found by 5ose searching for her, although who that is is unclear for awhile. Her rescuer has questions, seems he was looking to hide away for awhile too, but he can’t ignore the danger around her. There’s a few twists to the plot which kept it moving in an interesting way. The FMC seems to be irrational and impulsive at times which doesn’t quite fit her character background but it doesn’t detract much from the story, just the situations they find themselves in. Recommend if you enjoy Christian suspense!

Fast-paced story that takes place in a short time frame. Great characters. Good suspense.
Things are not all as they seem! I had my suspicions, and it turned out they were right. :) However, I won't tell you what they were! ;)
I definitely recommend this book! It's a good one!!
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance e-copy of this book! All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

I really loved this book. Everything about it was an entertaining escape from reality. The characters felt real and relatable, the storyline was, unfortunately, realistic. Faith was woven so wonderfully through this story, making it feel natural and impactful.

I would highly recommend this book.

The Hidden Bay series gets rolling with this unputdownable, heart-racing romantic suspense story. Set in the Pacific Northwest, non-stop action, mystery, and unexpected twists kept me totally engaged from beginning to end. Every answer found in the fast-paced plot, loaded with secrets, necessitates a new question. Even though I had inklings of the identities of two of the “bad guys”, I was not confident in my assessment until it was revealed on the page. The immersive setting provides a vividly sketched backdrop that heightens the tension and danger. The storms raging outside are indicative of the storms raging in the minds and souls of the characters. Former army photographer Remi Grant has forgotten memories of a past traumatic event that she needs to remember, and former military pilot Hawke Beckett has memories of a past traumatic event that he is trying to forget. They are complex characters who are easy to care about and who compelled me to root for their safety and a positive outcome. Romantic undertones add another layer of interest. I appreciate the encouraging faith moments sprinkled throughout the story. I recommend this book as a must read for fans of inspirational romantic suspense and look forward to the next book in the series.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley with no obligation to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Elizabeth Goddard is masterful at mind-teasing mysteries. Storm Warning is a perfect example of her talent for all things spy games. It’s also the first book in her new Hidden Bay series. Y’all, I can’t wait for book 2!!
