[Carolyn Bryant · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pursued on the Run is a suspenseful, action-packed narrative with a surprising, unpredictable ending. Who orchestrated the frame that sent Sean Donovan to prison, and why have they targeted him, his ex-fiancée, and his son? Those are the daunting questions that kept me turning pages quickly and burning the midnight oil to discover the answers. A well-paced plot with plenty of twists, compelling characters I connected with right away, a seemingly impossible second-chance romance, and a meaningful faith thread all come together to create a story that is both heart-pounding and heartwarming. I think fans of inspirational romantic suspense will find this book as satisfying and engaging as I did. I highly recommend it.
I read an early copy of this book from the author/publisher with no obligation to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I am a big fan of this author and I have read several of her books. This novel starts out with the main male character, Sean Donovan, getting off the bus after having been released from prison. Not long after he gets off the bus, he is jumped and put into a van. This novel started with the suspense as well as mystery from the very beginning. There were so many good secondary characters in this novel. I will say that I thought this was one mystery that I actually was able to figure out from the very beginning but I was so wrong. It had a lot of twists and turns. It kept my attention until the very end. I highly recommend it.

I received a complimentary copy from the author. The opinions in this review are my own.

PURSUED ON THE RUN by Terri Reed is the phenomenal, suspense filled story of Sean Donovan, once a sheriff’s homicide investigator and now ex-con, and Tracy Lynnwood, Assistant District Attorney for the county of Placer, as they try to make peace with the past, justice for past misjudgments and stay alive to figure out if there is a future – together.

Once a man of the law, Sean was sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit through falsified, indisputable evidence. After serving an 18-month-sentence, now a free man, he’s still determined to find proof of his innocence. What he didn’t expect when he stepped off the bus close to his condo, was to be attacked, beaten and left with a warning of harm coming to his ex-fiancée and her child if he didn’t leave town and forget trying to set the record straight. While Tracy had hurt him to the core by not having faith in him before and the during the trail, he must warn her!

Tracy tried hard to believe in Sean. She’d tried to help his case by not excusing herself from the prosecutor’s case in order to work within it to help find proof he was innocent. However, all the evidence they found was solid and irrefutable. After all, facts were facts. When she had found out she was pregnant, she tried to let Sean know. Regardless of his sentence, he still had the right to know about their baby. Because of his hurt, he had refused to see or talk to her. Her letters came back unopened. She knew exactly what day it was – the day of his release!

When Sean makes it to Tracy’s cabin and she sees his beaten body, will it be the first step to believing him? How will Sean take the news of finding out he has an eight-month-old son? When threats are carried out, can he protect those he loves? Where will they be safe? Who can they trust? How high up does the corruption go? The only one Sean knows he can trust is Bryce Springs, FBI agent, but will he believe he was innocent and help them? Will the most unlikely couple be their biggest ally? Will Zia and Fin, two retired U.S. Army dogs, find new work as baby protectors? As the attacks keep coming can they survive? Can Sean and Tracy work past the hurt and betrayal?

PURSUED ON THE RUN is a riveting, edge-of-your-seat, heart-pounding story that you will feel compelled to read in one-sitting. Terri Reed gives us a story of intrigue, danger, suspense, romance, forgiveness, second chances and wraps it in a wonderful thread of faith. PURSUED ON THE RUN is absolutely FIVE-STAR reading that I whole-heartedly recommend to everyone!

I received an ARC of this book with no requirement or expectations of a review. All opinions are completely my own.

I received this book in exchange for my honest review. I own some of Terri Reed's other books and love them! It is easy to see how she became a NY Times Best Seller Author!

I received this book February 17th and finished it February 23. It was so good I'd have my laptop playing a movie that I listened to while reading Pursued on the Run! I didn't want to put it down! I read it every chance I got!

When Sean is convicted of a crime he didn't commit he is sentenced to a year in Old Folsom Prison. He is a former homicide investigator who is accused and convicted of stealing $50.000 from the Police Evidence Room. He is shown signing in and out of the room on camera. While all the evidence points to him, he proclaims his innocence even while friends and his fiancé, Tracy turn their backs on him and don't believe in his innocence. Due to her public announcement of disbelief in Sean's innocence, he blocks her from all visitation and calls while in prison because he was very hurt over her lack of belief in him. He returns her letters unopened. Because of this he is unaware he has a son.

When he is released from prison a year later he is kidnapped and beaten and left on the cold, wet, snowy ground in the woods. He is told to leave town or his ex-finance and her son will pay the price. He hadn't wanted anything to do with Tracy after her lack of belief in him, but when she is threatened by whoever is behind his kidnapping, beating and frame-up threatens to hurt her and her son (he is unaware he is a father yet), he rushes to her house to warn her and to protect her. He learns he has a son and is more determined than ever to protect them at all costs.

Will Sean forgive Tracy for her lack of faith in him? Will they be able to be a family again and together find out who is behind the corruption and framing Sean before it's too late? Will they learn to rely on God now that they have found Him again?

Action packed, nail biter, faith based suspense that will keep you guessing who is behind the attempted murders and kidnappings along with the corruption that goes all the way from police to a judge! Will Sean be able to once and for all clear his name? You need to read this book as it keeps you guessing until the plot and the culprit become clear! It'll keep you on your toes!

Pursued on the Run by Terri Reed

He’ll do anything to clear his name…
and protect his son.

Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, former sheriff’s investigator Sean Donovan is finally released from prison, only to be ambushed by unknown assailants—and left with a chilling warning. With his attackers now targeting his former fiancée, Assistant District Attorney Tracy Lynwood, he must take her under his protection…along with the son he didn’t know about. Fleeing to a remote location in Lake Tahoe, Sean and Tracy must navigate a web of corruption to expose the truth. But with fatal threats and untrustworthy allies everywhere, can they prove Sean’s innocence…and stay alive?
My favorite quote is
Respect and admiration for her grit washed over him. “Great plan.”

“Can this truck go off-road?” Tracy asked.

His gaze jumped to the snow-covered trail, barely discernible, that ran along this side of the nearly frozen river, and to the towering trees across the expanse of water. Sean wanted to kiss Tracy for thinking of it, but he had to spring into action instead.

I recommend this book.
Pursued on the Run by Terri Reed is a 5 -star book.
I am looking forward to reading more books by Terri Reed.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions shared here in this review are my own.
From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.

If you are looking for a second chance romance with heart pounding, page turning suspense, THIS is the one for you!

I have to be honest, the moment this book started and Sean was being released from jail for a crime he didn't commit... I knew this story would be good! Add in an ex fiance and a baby he doesn't know is his, and already it's pulling at my heartstrings!

Sean is finally out of jail after being falsely accused, and he is out to find out who framed him. But before he can dig too deep, someone is trying to keep him from looking into it, and they even threaten his ex fiancée Tracy and their son just to keep him from digging. But clearing his name is no longer his only goal. A second chance with Tracy and his son is motivation enough to see this through. He just needs to keep them safe and somehow uncover the truth before it's too late!

Somehow Terri found a way to add the sweet moments between Sean and Tracy in the midst of such scary times. It felt like they were at odds due to their past, but they were still so supportive of each other. Despite their feelings, they truly were doting on the other, and I loved it.

I gave this a 4.5 rounded to 5 stars!

I received a complimentary copy. This review reflects my honest opinion.

Settle into a comfy spot and get ready to go on a very suspense-filled adventure. Sean Donovan has just been released from prison after being found guilty of stealing money. As he makes his way back towards his hometown, he gets jumped, kidnapped, then dumped with a warning to leave and not come back or his ex-finance and a child will be harmed. Sean barely makes it to Tracy's house before the ones who threatened Sean shows up. This book kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Just who is trying to harm Sean and Tracy and the baby that he doesn't know is his? This one kept me guessing all the way through. If you love suspense and second chance romance, grab this book as soon as it hits the shelves. I received a complimentary copy of this book, but was not required to leave a positive review. All opinions are what I thought of the book.

[Debra · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book as an ARC with no expectations so of a positive review. This book had me from the first paragraph. Sean was a former sherriff's investigator who was sent to prison. He had stated from the beginning he was innocent. Now that he was released, he had to find out who framed him and why. Prior to his arrest and sentencing, he was engaged to Tracy who was the Assistant District Attorney. Sean could not understand why Tracy did not believe him and in fact worked on the procecution to put him in jail. Join Sean as he finds that being out is not any different than being in prison as those who framed him does not want him to uncover the truth. This book is so intriguing and suspenseful that I just had to keep reading.

[Tara Robinson]

Oh my goodness!! Get ready for high speed ahead with this exciting, non stop action packed, sitting on the edge of your seat, heart stopping, heart pounding, very emotional suspense!! I absolutely fell in love with the wonderful characters!! With Sean being framed for a crime he didn't commit and the bad guys after his family he must do everything within his power to protect Tracy and their son. I enjoyed the mystery of who was behind framing Sean. I was surprised at who one of the bad guys was. Definitely a rollercoaster of a ride!! If you love Christian suspense then I highly recommend reading this one!! I was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

[Barbara Raymond · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my! This book starts out with a big bang. Former Police Investigator, Sean Donovan, was framed for a robbery. On the day he was released from prison, he was kidnapped and threatened to leave town and never come back or his lady and the baby would pay. Tracy, the ADA, was part of the team that prosecuted him. Even though she tried to find the proof that he had been framed. Now together, they must find out the truth and keep the baby safe. This book will keep you turning the pages to find out why Sean was framed and who was behind it. The final twist with all the answers will keep you glued to the seat of your chair. I definitely recommend this book if you enjoy suspense and intrigue.

[Rick Molitor · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a great read! I picked this book up tonight and now that I have finished it, I set it down. It is a gripping romantic thriller. It is an intense read that grabs you from the get-go and doesn't let you stop reading. There are so many twists and turns as you try to figure out who is behind the frame. It will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat as you root for Sean and Tracy. This is definitely a book you should not miss.

[Kimberly Heck · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an excellent book. I read it in one day because I could not put it down. Sean and Tracy were great characters that had gone through a lot. They had a mystery to solve in the process of running for their lives and protecting the people they loved. There is heartache, betrayal, intrigue, crime solving and running from killers but through it all live from the Lord and each other got them through. This is definitely a book worth reading.

[Elizabeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pursued on the Run is a fast paced, emotionally charged, action filled, suspense with twists and a faith foundation.
I kept trying to figure out "who done it" and why without success.
The story reminds us that second chances are possible if we're willing to forgive and accept responsibility for our own involvement.
I recieved an ARC but the opinions stated here are my own.

[Evelyn Foreman · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you like intense suspense with a spark or two of romance, look no further! So many facets to this story, yet all blend together seamlessly to create a narrative more than worthy of a 5 ⭐️ rating! Sensational story, incredible author!
