Caught accidentally eavesdropping on plans for a major cargo theft, Lily Doyle's chased by men who want her dead. And she narrowly escapes when Deputy Sheriff Nate Bedford--her former high school classmate--comes to her rescue. The criminals won't stop until they finish their mission, though, so going into hiding with the handsome lawman is her only shot at survival. With a troubled past hanging over his head, Nate has something to prove--to himself and the community. And saving Lily's life could be a step in the right direction. But with a deadly crime ring aiming to silence her for good, will hiding Lily at his friend's secluded ranch be enough to keep them away?

This is a Romantic Suspense. This book did keep me guessing, and the suspense in this book was really good. There was a ton of action in this book, and it had a little bit of romance mixed into it. I enjoyed the characters in this book.

A solid thriller (not so much mystery) which kept me turning pages easily. There were only a couple “stupid” moments but otherwise I was fully invested in the actions the characters took to try to escape the bad guys. Having the story be between an office worker and a just-got-off-undercover-work officer was a refreshing twist and I’ll be interested in reading more from this author.

There will always be moments in life that just don't seem to make any sense and look like we'll never make it through them no matter what we do. Thankfully God always has a plan and is more than capable of making a way when and where there doesn't seem to be any way at all. He's always in control and will never let us go through life alone.

High Desest Night is a Love Inspired Suspense book by Jenna Night. If you enjoy a great suspense book that is packed with lots of exciting happenings than this is the book for you. This book is full of faith, trust, devotion, heartache and pain. I am looking forward to reading more of Jenna Night's books. I received a complementary copy of this book. This review is my honest opinion.
4 stars!

3.5 stars (some sites do not allow half stars in rating, so rating may vary). When I see the title of this book, I keep thinking of a line from a song that says "dark desert highway"--so much so that I searched for this book under high desert highway before realizing the last word of the title wasn't highway but hideaway!
For the first 3/4 of the book, I thought it was so-so. Lily overhears something while working late one night, and even though what she overheard wasn't enough to know anything, the people she overheard come after her. By chance, a childhood-classmate-who's-now-a-deputy-sheriff comes into the gas station mart and ends up rescuing her. And, in the tried-and-true genre theme, they both have reasons why they couldn't be in love with each other and even keep trying to convince themselves of that.
The last 1/4 of the book was more interesting--and just when you think the suspense has ended, there's a twist!
I also kind of got a hint that Crystal Rios and Gaston may have a book in the future--and wondered if Olivia and Elijah had a story before this--I'm guessing possibly since I see this author has another title called "Last Stand Ranch" and that fits in with the little I know about Olivia and Elijah from this book.

Jenna Night did not disappoint with her Love Inspired Suspense novel. OK, knowing this I expected a love story but I was pretty sure that they were going to continue fighting it. I also knew that faith was going to be important and it was but it wasn't smack you in the face. The suspense is what really pulled me to this book and kept the pages turnings.
Lily is just finishing up a day's work and trying to make her part time boss she that she can be a real asset she overhears someone talking in the break room. She doesn't like what she hears to she backs away hoping to not draw attention to herself. Well we all know how well that works out.
Nate is on his way home after a long undercover assignment and needs some caffeine to make it those last few miles. His police skills may be tired but not sleeping and he rescues the girl.
However, things are not over that easy and they are thrown together to get this case solved so that Lily can survive.
I seen this book on a friend's list and liked the cover so had to grab it up to read.

A seat of your pants suspense grabs you and pulls you through this book.
We grit our teeth, hold our seats as we watch Nate, a handsome lawman race across the coutryside to protect Lily, a woman that heard something that caused her to be a target,
The two have an attraction and realize with God's help they have a second chance at love.
I was gifted an advance copy of the book by the author. My opinions are 100% my own.

This is my first book by this author and it was a good read.
There wasn’t much mystery however there was plenty of suspense and action. The romance was cat and mouse between Lily and Nate but anything more would have taken away from the storyline.
I liked Lilly and Nate as well as the supporting characters. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
