A high stakes search to clear her brother's name and find out who is after them.

Dr. Katherine Gilroy comes at just the right time to save US Marshal Dominic O'Ryan's life. Dominic is tracking down Katherine's brother, who he believes murdered his partner. Will what they find bring them together or tear them apart?

An action packed adventure with and engaging plot and riveting characters. Katherine is a quick thinking woman, I liked that she wanted to help her brother clear his name. This is hard to put down book with a lot going on, and great relationship building.

Overall, and excellent read from beginning to end. Strong themes of faith, with a riveting adventure!

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

Not only was US Marshal Dominic O'Ryan nearly killed in a shoot-out the very woman who pulls him to safety is the sister of the man he thinks was responsible. Dominic is dtermined to find Katherine Gilroy's brother, especially due to the fact that his partner was killed at the time.

Katherine cannot believe her brother is a killer, even though it had been a few years since she had seen him. Dominic assures her that her brother was no angel, but Katherine is still determined to believe in his innocence. When Katherine learns how Dominic was familiar with her brother, she must admit to a bit of doubt. Will she be able to find him before the marshals and other authorities? And, will he be able to explain his role in the shooting?

Not only did this book begin with bang - literally - the action and tension never let up. While the search for her brother was in play, answers were needed. While the search is on there is no doubt that Dominic and Katherine are drawn to one another. The fact that they both based their lives on faith only made their connection stronger? Will the guilt or innocence of Katherine's brother derail what could be a warm romance and happy future between them?

Lynette Eason has written an exciting story that blended in a lot of factors that not only had wonderful characters but a story that led to a happy ending.

Interesting characters with interesting back stories fill this suspense laden novel. A fast paced read about a small town doctor and a US marshall chasing a runaway criminal witness. I really enjoyed this.

Chapter One starts with a gunshot and then things get really interesting. Mountain Fugitive is a well-written romantic suspense story by Lynette Eason. She's one of those authors that when I see something that she's written, I know it will be good and want to read it.
Katherine is a small town doctor with a background as a tactical medic. She's used to taking care of herself due to a very rough childhood. And, she's the one who takes care of all of those around her. Dominic is a US marshal that loves his close friends and grieves when losing one of them. He, by nature and profession, protects those around him. Katherine and Dominic make a great team, and I was definitely hoping for a romance between them. Yay for HEAs!
The plot is filled with twists and turns. I never knew what was coming next.
I highly recommend Mountain Fugitive to readers of both clean and Christian romantic suspense.
I received a complimentary copy through NetGalley from the publisher and am sharing my opinion of this exciting book.

MOUNTAIN FUGITIVE by Lynette Eason is an action-packed Christian romantic suspense standalone that delivered everything I am looking for in Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense. Lynette Eason is a new-to-me author and I cannot believe I have not read other titles by her previously.

Dr. Katherine Gilroy is out enjoying a horseback ride with her best friend, Isabelle when they hear gun shots. Katherine has trained as a SWAT team medic in her past and races to see if she can help while Isabelle goes for help. Katherine finds two US Marshals on the ground. One dead and one unconscious.

US Marshal Dominic O’Ryan has a concussion but is lucky to have not been shot and killed. He is determined to bring the escaped Federal witness to justice who he believes murdered his partner. The escaped witness is Katherine’s young brother and she believes he is innocent.

Katherine and Dominic work together to bring in Katherine’s brother and find the real killer.

This romantic suspense is a great balance of continual action and suspense along with a Christian romance without sex, but plenty of building attraction and heat. Katherine and Dominic are both intelligent and accomplished main characters who have had opposite upbringings and yet find common ground. The secondary characters are well fleshed for a story of this length and continually surprised me with the character plot twists. I must also mention there is a dog you will fall in love with in this story. The Christian elements of the book are few, but believably placed and do not detract from the story.

I highly recommend this fast-paced, action-packed Christian romantic suspense. I will be looking for new releases from this author and looking into her backlist, also.

Mountain Fugitive was one hard to put down read. It's action-packed and Katherine and Dominic have such good chemistry. The romance moves a little bit fast for me, but it still worked and this is a couple I genuinely wanted to see together. I liked the balance between them even though they didn't necessarily agree about their fugitive. There was a respect there between them that goes a long way toward making them believable as a couple. The suspense side of this story is really good and kept me turning pages. It's a fairly quick read, easily finished in an afternoon or evening, which is how I spent my afternoon - curled up in my recliner enjoying a bit of mystery and clean romance.

This is a Romantic Suspense. This book is full of action and suspense. I also loved the characters in this book as much. The romance in this book is just ok, and the romance moved really fast. I loved the storyline and twist keeps you guessing. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Love Inspired Suspense) or author (Lynette Eason) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Dr.Katherine came across US Marshal Dominic and his dead partner after hearing a couple of shots nearby. While helping him she finds that they were watching her brother who was closely related to a case and they were supposed to protect him, but now her brother is suspected of the murder of Dominic's partner. Then it soon becomes clear someone is after her as well and while keeping her safe they need to find her brother and find out who is behind all this.

I really enjoyed how fast paced this book was. There was so much going on. Katherine knows that while her brother is troubled he would never go as far as murdering someone and she'll do her best to find and prove her brothers innocence. Meanwhile Dominic here knows what's her brother is capable of and reeling from the death of his friend and partner. If the brother he was watching didn't kill him who did? I enjoyed watching as they solve the case and trying to figure that out. But things couldn't just stop there because now it sees Katherines life is in danger as well and there might be dirty cops out there who can the trust? It was interesting seeing who was behind everything and overall it was a great read I really enjoyed myself.

Mountain Fugitive by Lynette Eason brings the suspense, and then adds more. Dr. Katherine Gilroy lives a quiet life in her mountain town, but stumbles into the middle of a shootout. She comes to the aid of US Marshal Dominic O’Ryan, who is in pursuit of a fugitive who took down his partner. Katherine’s life intersects with Dominic’s mission when her brother is accused of murder and the killer targets Katherine.

This action-pack novel is pure excitement from start to finish. I love a strong heroine, and Katherine definitely holds her own under pressure. I like the whirlwind romance between Dominic and Katherine – nothing brings a couple together than trying to stay alive with a killer on the loose.

Definitely a five star suspense-filled read for me!

Overall Rating:
5 stars (I loved it, couldn’t put it down)

Suspense Rating:
5 stars (Non-stop edge-of-your-seat suspense from start to finish)


I received an ebook review copy of this book through NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Another wonderful read! I love Lynnette Eason's style, and enjoyed reading another of her LIS titles! Great balance between the MC's growing feelings, and the danger and suspense they faced in this one!

With non-stop, fast-paced action, this was a book that I had trouble putting down. Dr. Katherine Gilroy is a small town doctor and the sister of a fugitive, but when the story begins she doesn’t know that. At least, not until she meets Dominic O’Ryan, a federal Marshall intent on finding Noah and safeguarding him until he can testify against a drug lord. But Dominic is convinced that Noah killed his friend and fellow Marshall Carl, so he has even more reason to find him. The chase is on throughout the book, with more than one character getting injured in their quest for justice. I was happy to see Creed as the town sheriff since I got to know him in a previous book. All of the characters were realistic and the twists and red herrings were perfectly placed. In the genre of clean romantic suspense, this is a book not to miss! Evil is evil and good is good, and the ending, although not surprising, was wonderful to read!

As with all Harlequin Intrigue books, the suspense takes front seat over romance. In this story, we have Katherine who is a medic with the SWAT team and Dominic who is a US Marshall whose role was to keep a witness safe so that he could testify against an organized crime lord.

Turns out the witness was heroine’s brother and now they both have to work together to not only find him but to prove his innocence that he didn’t kill Dominic’s partner – al while also falling in love & being chased by the bad guys.

All in all, this was a nice read for those that like suspense & intrigue. I received a free copy from NetGalley & publisher for an honest review and I want to thank them for it.

It was the mention of horseback riding and helping people out that had me wanting to review this book. I really enjoyed Peril on the Ranch, also by Lynette Eason. I would like to get more of her books.

When Dr. Katherine Gilroy accidentally stumbles into a deadly shoot-out, she has to make quick decisions if she's going to help US Marshall Dominic.

Will being under her care spark a romance? Will he be able to help her find her brother? There is so much action and suspense in this book.

Thanks to Lynette Eason and Harlequin Romantic Suspense for my ARC in exchange for a honest and voluntary review.

4 stars.

Sometimes a single moment can change your life forever. That is certanly true for Dr. Katherine Gilroy who hears gunshots while out riding and comes to the aid of US marshal Dominic O’Ryan’s aid. There is no doubt that there is chemistry between the two of them but the equivalent of a cold shower is thrown on them both when Katherine finds out that Dominic is hunting down her baby brother who is now on the run.

I actually really enjoyed Mountain Fugitive. A good solid story with great characters and a few twists and turns to keep you interested, I read this book in a single day.

'She'd never been big on trusting or believing in God.'

I love suspense and this offering by Lynette Eason fits the suspense bill quite nicely. From the moment Dr. Katherine Gilroy, while out horseback riding, comes upon injured US Marshall Dominic O'Ryan, the action never stops. And there's a great dog in the story! Well done!

My thanks to the publisher, Love Inspired, for a copy of this book. The opinion here is entirely my own.

"Mountain Fugitive" is a Christian romantic suspense novel. The main characters were engaging and reacted realistically to events. Even though Katherine and Dominic initially didn't agree about the guilt of her brother, they respected each other and Dominic was willing to listen to the evidence. This respect for each other's honorable actions and character grew into more romantic feelings. They worked well together, using their different areas of knowledge and skills to survive while uncovering the truth. The suspense came from repeated attacks on Katherine and Dominic and from their hurry to find and save her brother, who was also in danger.

Katherine came from a broken home and longed for her father's love. She learned to rely on only herself (though she will ask for help when needed). The Christian element was about her wondering if Dominic's love would fill that longing but remembering how a friend told her that only God would not abandon her and could fill that lack of a father's love. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense.
