This brand new series starts off with lots of action and danger right from the very beginning. It’s a story with twists and turns, where it is hard to know who you can trust, especially with a heroine who is suffering with amnesia due to a traumatic event. The violent storm that rolls in accentuates the danger, as well as the feelings of confusion and anxiety that both of the main characters experience.

I liked Hawk’s character and felt for him as he battled guilt from a past accident that took a friend’s life, but also guilt from feeling as if he let his younger brother down. A younger brother who now seems to be going down a dangerous and deadly path.

Remi struggled with who to trust and what information to share. I believe that her confusion and dread and fear affected her decision making. I wanted her to be more willing to trust Hawk earlier on, however, she knew she was in danger and had a big piece of her life missing, making trust something that was not easy to come by.

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

Remi Grant is running from an incident in her past—one she can’t even remember. Working at an isolated lodge has helped to keep her mind clear and focused on her new responsibilities. Hawk Beckett saves her from a failing rope ladder when she risks her life to rescue a visitor’s dog from a ferocious storm. The near-death experience triggers a flashback, a flashback of something someone wants to remain forgotten. Hawk and Remi suddenly find themselves thrown into danger, together, danger both natural and manmade. Will they survive? Only one way to find out: Read Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard!

Goddard definitely knows how to pull in readers from page one. She had me hooked, and she kept me locked in until the novel’s end. Storm Warning carefully balances thrill with faith and romance. Hawk and Remi face threats galore on their lives, and they also come face to face with demons of their pasts. I liked that Remi didn’t immediately trust Hawk, even after he’d saved her life. More than once. I liked that Hawk stayed by her side regardless of her suspicion, and he did not waver. Remi slowly leans into him and his security, which was beyond sweet to witness.

But what I loved most about Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard: The emphasis on how the past does not define a person. God doesn’t care about what happened yesterday; He loves you regardless. He can use you regardless. And He will help you overcome your history and your trials. Remi does. Hawk does. He gives the opportunity for redemption—to everyone, if you are willing to accept it. Like Hawk saving Remi off that rope ladder, His hand always reaches out. And He will never let you go. He’ll walk with you through the strongest of storms: mental, emotional, and physical.

Storm Warning is a fantastic start to Elizabeth Goddard’s “Hidden Bay” series.

An action packed adrenaline rush from the first to the last! Elizabeth Goddard delivers a thrilling start to the brand new Hidden Bay series in Storm Warning. This heart pounding suspense kept me quickly turning the pages as an ex-army photographer tries to regain her lost memories against the backdrop of a once in a decade storm with a killer trying to prevent her from recalling the past.

Remi Grant’s spent the past two years as the manager of the Cedar Trails Lodge on the Washington coast trying to escape from a past she can’t remember. When she receives a mysterious package containing a puzzle piece & note, she thinks it might be a catalyst in helping her remember the fateful day that sent her into hiding. As her life’s threatened by someone who doesn’t want her to remember, she finds herself being rescued again & again by a handsome stranger. But, can she trust him?

Former Night Stalker military pilot Hawk Beckett came to Cedar Trails Lodge after a terrible event in his own past. He’s hoping he can secure employment offering tourist helicopter rides at the lodge as he searches for answers. Right off the bat, he finds himself saving a beautiful woman not once but over & over again from a killer who hopes to silence her before she regains her memories. As a fierce storm threatens the peninsula, Hawk fights to keep Remi safe all while trying to prevent himself from falling in love.

This story kept me glued to my kindle! The atmosphere is fantastic & I could easily picture the pelting rain & whipping wind as I was reading. The heart stopping suspense didn’t let up as Remi & Hawk are faced with one dangerous situation after another. The complicated plot revolves around international espionage, betrayal, & dangerous secrets.

Remi’s & Hawk’s reluctant to fall, instant attraction romance completely drew me in. Their complicated histories & the treacherous situations they face really create a bond between them as they come face to face with their pasts. Even though they’ve only know each other a short time, the chemistry was palpable & the author makes their instant attraction so believable. I also loved the faith element woven throughout & how these pulse pounding experiences cause both characters to turn to prayer.

Highly recommend to inspirational romantic suspense fans! Looking forward to the next book in the series. I received an advanced complimentary copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own & voluntarily provided.

Christian romantic suspense is highlighted well in Goddard's newest release, Storm Warning. I was on the edge of my seat reading as the female main character, Remi, struggled to regain her memories while also trying to discover who is after her and why. Meanwhile, former military pilot, Hawk, is trying to work out his own issues while also determined to help Remi and keep her safe from those unknown, or unremembered, enemies. Lots of twists and turns kept me guessing what would happen next.
Highly recommend.

Many thanks to Revell and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor or expectation.

Storm Warning is another great romantic suspense from author Elizabeth Goddard. This book is the first in a new series and I can't wait for the next book.

The story is told from both Remi Grants and Hawk Becket's points of view.

Remi is the manager at a tucked away lodge where people come to get away and enjoy the views of the north Pacific ocean. As the story opens there are a series of storms rolling in which the guests are looking forward to watching in all their awesome power. These storms are important to the plot of the story.

Hawk tells Remi he is at the lodge because he wants to offer helicopter tours of the area so the guests have another way to experience the area. However, he finds himself coming to Remi's rescue right at the beginning of the story.

Remi finds herself wondering if Hawk's presence in her dire times of need aren't too convenient. Is there a nefarious reason why he always seems to show up? Of course, the reader also sees Hawk's point of view, so we know his true intentions.

Danger keeps cropping up and Remi and Hawk find themselves on the run. Not only do they need to stay ahead of the bad "guy" or is it multiple bad "guys"? But Remi is under pressure to remember something that happened in the past. An event that must have been so traumatic that she lost her memory of several days. It seems there are people who want her to remember and others who don't want her to remember. And there are so many twists on exactly who is on which side. Definitely twists I didn't see coming. And once the truth starts to emerge, the story took a twist I really didn't expect. The story kept me swiping through pages just so I could find out what exactly was going on.

I will add, I wasn't sure exactly how I felt about the relationship between Remi and Hawk. She kept flip-flopping on whether she should trust him or not, yet finding herself drawn to him. And there were times the little ponderings of each other didn't seem to fit with the circumstances they found themselves in. It also seemed at times, that if they did end up together they would be at odds quite a bit. Though as the story went on, I did find myself rooting for their relationship.

What made me drop a star in my rating was the inconsistencies in the story. It bothered me that they would be concerned about something and then suddenly turn around and do what they said they shouldn't do.

That said, I still loved this book and definitely recommend it. Especially if you are looking for fast moving suspense that keeps you on your toes. I can't wait for the next book which focuses on one of the other characters from the story.

I received an e-copy of this book through NetGalley and was not required to write a favorable review. These are my own honest thoughts.

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.
