This is a romance suspense. You are put right in to the action, and the action never stops in this book. This is a short fact pace book, but I almost feel there is to much action in this book. There is so much going on in this book. You really do not get to learn about the characters in this book. The plot/storyline drives this story not the characters. The book keep me reading and I like it ok. I just wanted the characters to be more developed, and I wanted to feel more for the characters. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Love Inspired Suspense) or author (Valerie Hansen) via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review about how I feel about this book, and I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Be prepared, as you start reading this suspenseful and intriguing story, that you’ll find it very difficult to put it down. Janie and Brad are both brave, caring characters that do everything they can to help and protect each other. This story has several twists and turns that keep the reader guessing as to what will happen next. This is a sweet and clean book with elements of faith that are found throughout the book. The romance in this book is sweet and clean.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

On the Run is the third book in the Emergency Responders series. It was a new-to-me author and I don’t feel like I missed anything by starting in the middle of the series. The book was well written, perfectly paced, and had a developed plot. It caught my attention from the first page with an intense scene in the ER. There was lots of action, mystery, twists and turns, and a very unexpected ending. I loved the characters and instantly connected with them. They were genuine, compassionate, and heart-rending.
Brad Benton is an undercover cop trying to discover the top leaders of a drug ring. He risks his cover when he protects the ER nurse, Janie Kirkpatrick. He hoped to maintain his cover but realizes it’s too late when he gets ambushed while doing a drop-off. Now he is on the run with Janie and both their lives are at stake. Janie Kirkpatrick was terrified when she was held at gunpoint in the ER. She was not sure why Brad helped her and later doubted his warning when he contacts her to warn her to leave town. Once she discovers her life really is in danger, she knows she must help Brad in his mission. Can they identify the top leaders before they are murdered?
Wow, this was an intense and action-filled story. I loved all the twists and was extremely surprised with the ending, which I never would have seen coming. This was definitely a book I could not put down until I finished it.

Who are Brad and Janie? What situation do they find themselves in? What is a code silver? Where does Janie work? I did not like Speevey. Pixie was very brave!!! I like that little one. What things happen that drive them out of town? Who is behind what is going on? What does Janie do to protect Brad and then herself? Who are Rick, Armbruster, and Nancy? Why do I get a funny feeling when they fly out of town? What happens to Brad on the flight? Oh, some of my funny feelings were correct!! Other thoughts and feelings were not. You do get a great HEA at the end! Enjoy the read! I did.

When ER nurse Janie Kirkpatrick is forced at gunpoint to treat a patient, she’s barely able to keep it together, let alone concentrate on what she’s trained to do. Fearful yet determined, she tries to shut out the melee and focus on saving the life of the man who’s been dumped on the gurney. Much to her surprise, one of the criminals offers her a lifeline. With a calming voice, he encourages her through the steps she needs to take to help the man who’s been shot and keep herself alive. Janie’s surprised by his medical knowledge, but it helps her regain some control. That is until the ringleader, the man with the gun, suddenly snaps and then attacks her.

Another wonderful story from Valerie Hansen! I've loved a few of her other LIS titles and as always this one was such a treat to read!

A fast paced, quick read that takes off and true to the title, follows Janie and Brad as they are on the run, trying to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. Brad Benton is deep undercover, hoping to crack open a drug ring, but when things go too far he steps in to save the life of Janie an ER nurse who finds herself in the crossfire.

Janie has a history of not being able to trust the men in her life, so she is more than a little hesitant to put her life in the hands of a man she just met and believed to be one of the gangsters. I really admired how she was able to overcome her past, her high regard for human life, as well as her strong faith throughout the story.

Brad is cool, calm, good at thinking on his feet, he is committed to his mission, and is a fantastic driver! I loved his great relationship with his boss and the trust between them.

This is an engaging read, with likable characters and great plot. I especially liked Janie's dog Pixie, who was absolutely adorable! A quick read, highly entertaining!

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

This book was quite a ride and I was all for it till the very end. I loved getting to konw briefly the characters and while I found the tiny bit of romance that was brewing I'm glad it wasn't taken too far I mean their life is in danger this is no time for that. I loved how they were perfect where one lacked or needed help they were right by each others side. Janie had a tough past and is perfect for going with the flow and just being there but there is one thing that she really held firm was her dog and you can see that love she had for her dog, what I loved was that her dog also helped with his part in protecting and alerting when things were seeming to go south. I loved that there was so much going on that I just couldn't stop reading not wanting to miss a thing. Overall great book I really enjoyed it.

Outlandishly dramatic!

Okay, if you like a crazy slightly repetitive predictable romantic suspense this is the book for you... Me? I found it to be hilarious even when it shouldn't be since it was soooo melodramatic.

This is published as one of the Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense reads and it certainly lives up to that genre!

Janie Kilpatrick is working as a nurse in the ER department when a seriously injured man is brought in after being shot. What makes this different to normal is that someone accompanying him pulls out a gun on her. Fortunately another man with them manages to rescue her from the situation, but not before someone else is shot and killed. The uninjured men run off but one later rings Janie to tell her to get herself away as the gunmen are out to kill her as she's seen and will be able to identify them. The caller, Brad, claims to be wanting to help her but just who should she trust? Can she get away to safety?

This is a real page turner adventure, so action packed that you don't really have time to get to know the characters as Brad and Janie endeavour to keep safe and leave the criminals well behind them. However, there are plenty of twists, some scary vehicle chases, a dangerous flight and stays in everything from a seedy motel to a millionaire's mansion. It is a story packed with danger, daring, romance and faith, a great read to totally distract you from what is going on in the real world at the moment - and there's even a canine hero involved, too!

Thanks to Harlequin and NetGalley for my copy of this book which I have voluntarily read and honestly reviewed.

On the Run by Valerie Hansen is true to its name. It is full of action from the first scene in the ER to the end. Jamie is an ER nurse and Brad is working undercover to identify a the lead drug dealer.

He makes the decision to protect her which puts him in a tough position. The majority of the book they are On The Run from the criminals out to silence them.


I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.

On the Run by Valerie Hansen begins with a masterful chase that builds the tension of the story and the relationship between Jamie and Brad, an ER nurse and a drug criminal. Hansen throws one roadblock after the other in front of Jamie and Brad. They are not safe together and they will not survive apart. As the story unfolds, obvious killers attack and trusted allies prove to be enemies. Hansen offers comic relief with a barb. On the run is not just the title, it is a description of how readers will enjoy the story.

"On the Run" is a romantic suspense novel. I liked that Janie saved Brad's life as often as he saved hers. She's brave and was willing to run into danger if it meant saving someone she cared about. Janie could be irrational, though, when it came to her dog. Brad didn't seem to mind this, so they'll probably get along fine even when not in the middle of danger. However, the story was just to...odd to seem realistic. I can somewhat understand Janie insisting on finding her lost dog even though they know the bad guys (who are trying to kill them) are nearby. But when they arrived, she stormed up the bad guys demanding to know where her dog was. Really? And even though it was obvious to anyone at that point that Brad wasn't loyal to the drug people, he still tried to go back undercover with the same group of people that he'd just betrayed. Why, when at the end, he simply needed to identify the thugs that had been after them? Also, at one point, Janie refused to consider getting on a plane (especially during a storm) even though not doing so would mean death, yet she promptly fell asleep after the plane took off. Finally, though Janie and Brad quickly came to admire each other, getting married after three or four days of knowing each other under extreme circumstances just didn't work for me.

Both Janie and Brad prayed to God for help. There was no sex or bad language.
