I was provided an ARC of this book by the author.
The opinions expressed here are completely my own and without influence, This is a clean Christian read with a lot of suspense! Gabby Kensington has just lost her beloved military husband and is still grieving his loss when suddenly her life is endangered.
Apparently, her husband Will had discovered some kind of illegal dealing and was about to reveal it when he was killed on the battlefield.
Now, those he was going to expose are threatening Gabby and her infant daughter Mia, Gabby is invited to stay with the family of Wills best friend, Liam OCallaghan, The OCallaghans are a generous, warm and loving family who accept Gabby as one of their own, But they end up having to protect her from the evil that is determined to destroy her, Drawn irrevocably into the conflict is Liam, Wills best friend who was on the battlefield with Will when he was killed.
Liam continues to feel guilty about Wills death and he is determined to protect Gabby at all costs, The characters were realistically portrayed with a lot of detail about the military and the physical and emotional toll that it puts on the military member as well as the spouse.
As a wife of a retired military member, I thoroughly enjoyed the empathy for Gabby and the hardships she has faced as the spouse of an active duty member of the armed services.
I also can attest to the accuracy of the portrayal of Gabbys love for her husband and difficulty moving on to a new relationship.
I enjoyed the suspense that built up at the end of each chapter, keeping me reading to the next chapter and the next and the next.
This book was really hard for me to put down because of the military backstory and the rolling action that was like a stone with moss.
. . it just kept me reading and loving it! I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy romantic suspense, particularly romance that is a clean read.

Secrets come to light in this new suspense by Lisa Harris,
What had Gabriellas late husband discovered
Why are people after her now What does she know.
. . or what is it that they think she knows
I enjoyed this fastpaced suspense, and the start of a new series by Lisa Harris.
Gabriella oh I felt for her, Trying to find out more about her husbands death, she unwittingly asks the wrong person a question that brings trouble to herself and her baby daughter.
Mia what a little sweetheart!
Luke a great hero with a sense of justice and honour.
A true soldier!
The Callaghan family I loved meeting them, and am really looking forward to reading the stories of Lukes brothers when they come out.
Especially Reids!
Gus I enjoyed his part in this story, and I hope he appears in the stories of the brothers too! I also hope he gets his own second chance story.
. . if not one of his own which would be great hint, hint, Lisa! then included in with one of the brothers stories.
One thing I really appreciate about a Lisa Harris story, be it a Love Inspired or her longer novels, the romance is always a slow build, its very much a secondary part to the story, and the sensuality level is always low.
With others Christian authors venturing into more “edgy” fiction, Lisa Harris remains a breath of fresh air, and once again, this holds true in this story.
Thank you!
My thanks to the author for a copy of this book, I was not required to write a positive review, All thoughts and opinions expressed are completely my own,
First read of Lisa Harris' The anticipation and suspense was a great page turner, Difficult to put down. Would definitely try another of her books, Thrills and adventure begin on the very first page of this book and they never let up, Gabriella Kensington is shocked to arrive home to find her house broken into and her living room trashed and from that point on her life becomes like a dangerous roller coaster ride.
She has reasons to believe that her soldier husband had discovered proof of illegal military transactions and that his death wasn't really an accident.
This breakin and a late night car chase convinces her that she and hermonth old daughter are now in danger also.
What follows is a tale of threats, attempted murder and the realization that very few people can be trusted, Gabriella finds friendship and protection from her late husband's best friend and soon they both are caught up in an intense search to solve a military conspiracy and avoid being killed themselves.
Liam O'Gallighan proves that that he can be trusted for the long haul but Gabriella resists his attentions because she doubts that her heart can survive loving and perhaps losing another soldier.
Sheltered by the Soldier is an exciting Christian fiction novel filled with intrigue and suspense and it also touches on the unsettled lives that military families must endure.
Lisa Harris has created some very realistic characters in Gabriella and Liam, Gabriella is the perfect example of a military wife who feels great pride in her husband's dedication to serving his country but fears each and every day that his service may cause him harm.
Liam O'Gallighan exemplifies the man that most parents hope their daughters will marry: he is trustworthy, honest and loyal, And most of all, Gabriella and Liam both share a common faith and trust in God,
Sheltered by the Soldier is a story of love, faith and the hope of second chances and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense novels.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and was under no obligation to post a review.

This is a totally page turner! I was gripped with this story as the mystery unfolds and many dangerous things starts to happen: murder, abduction, etc.
All that while both of them try to resist to the undeniable attraction, Gabby will never marry another military who will put his life and her heart at risk, She doesn't know if her heart is ready to love again, And Liam cant ask that from Gabby either, nor can he abandon his passionate profession, the one he is anxiously awaiting to resume.

And the romance was really sweet and clean, A second chance at love!

I received a copy of this book from the author but wasnt required to review.
This is my honest and unbiased opinion,
Lisa Harris knows how to write suspense that keeps you on your toes on every page, This is no exception. Gabby Kensington is still grieving the loss of her military husband, Will, as she strives to raise their daughter, born after his death.
Will was involved in some investigation prior to his death which made his death suspicious, Gabby's been asking questions to better understand what happened and soon discovers she is getting too close to some bad guys who may or may not have had some involvement in Will's death.
Gabby runs desperate to keep her daughter safe and finds protection and comfort from Will's best mate, Liam O'Callaghan.
Liam's been on medical leave from the military and is hoping to soon be passed fit to return to action.
The bad guys chase Gabby convinced she's got information that will bring them unstuck, Things get really hairy for Gabby and chivalrous Liam comes to her aid, Liam grappling with survivors guilt having seen Will die, is not going to allow his best mate's wife be taken out too.
What ensues is a realistic story of military corruption that has turned deadly,
Can Gabby and her daughter be protected Will the real bad guy be uncovered Is Gabby's heart ready for love again and with his dead husband's best mate Could she allow herself to get involved with another military man
Harris writes a clever story with two wonderful lead characters.
The cast of characters involves Liam's family who we will get to meet more of in future stories in this series.
I'm looking forward to the next instalment of the O'Callaghan brothers,
