Deadly Communications #2
Deadly Intent
Everyone belongs somewhere. The key to happiness is recognizing that place when you get there.
Maven Morris has lost her way. A childless widow, she has no immediate family. Forced into a medical leave, she has no career. At loose ends, she hasn’t a clue what’s next for her.
Her neighbor, Paul Jordan knows what he wants—to move their friendship to a new level. Maven may not know what’s next, but she knows she has no interest in romance with anyone—not even her handsome neighbor.
When a young boy is abandoned in the city park, he touches Maven's heart. In spite of his obvious special needs, she agrees to provide a foster home. She has no idea the impact he will have on her—or the danger he brings to her doorstep.

Lillian Duncan’s Deadly Intent is a quick read, and that’s a good thing, because I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down. When speech therapist Maven meets the abandoned, silent little boy, her reluctance to help dissipates.
But as she, her friend Lizzie, and Paul search for the boy’s family, they are plunged into a horror no one would suspect. I appreciated the way Ms. Duncan pulled me into the terror without using graphic language. The story’s tension kept my nerves taut, and while I wish the plot impossible, news stories prove that monsters do exist.
Faith in God plays an important role, another aspect I really appreciated. Maven Morris is a likeable heroine, and her friends realistic and admirable.
If Ms. Duncan writes a sequel to this story, I’ll have to read it. The publisher offered me an e-copy of this books in exchange for my hones opinion, which I have given.
Deadly Intent is a high-tension suspense, and it earns five stars. Highly recommended.

When Maven Morris is asked to foster an abandoned young boy with obvious behavior problems, she resists until she meets him and feels an undeniable connection. Maven begins to gain the boy’s trust and is beginning to love him when the unexpected happens and she finds herself in the middle of a deadly situation.
I thoroughly enjoyed “Deadly Intent” with its rapidly escalating suspense and tension. The story was well written with true-to-life characters. I liked the way Maven and Paul and their friends turned to prayer when they found themselves in seemingly impossible situations. The only complaint I have is that the story ended much too quickly.

Great Christian Romantic Suspense!!
Lillian Duncan I is a new- to- me author, but I will definitely be checking out other books besides Deadly Intent. My heart rate is still elevated after finishing this heart-rending story of a little foster boy who goes missing from his reluctant single hostess. Duncan shows us the depths of depravity of man without exposing the reader to language or objectionable scenes. Sweet romance and reliance on God are welcome topics for this reader. If you get a rush from Christian Romantic Suspense, Deadly Intent is the book for you!!

This is a wonderful suspense book. The tension was built layer by layer and I felt as though my heart would pound out of my body by the conclusion. Maven is a wonderful character and her neighbor, Paul, quite the great neighbor even though he would like to be more than friends. Add Moses to the mix and things really begin happening. This is a very well written clean story and I highly recommend it. I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This author is one of my favorite authors of Christian suspense novels and she didn't disappoint with this one. The combination of wonderful characters and a story line that kept me on the edge of my seat made for a read that wouldn't let me put it down after I had started it. This is another mixture of romance, faith and suspense from this author that I definitely recommend to anyone that enjoys good Christian suspense.
