Today for Fiction Friday I’m sharing my book recommendation for Elizabeth Goddard’s new romantic suspense novel, Storm Warning, that’s releasing on February 18, 2025.
Here’s the Book Description:
Haunted by a half-forgotten past, former army photographer Remi Grant is working at an isolated storm-watching lodge on the rocky Washington coast when she receives a mysterious puzzle piece. The piece may be the catalyst to unlock a disturbing incident she struggles to remember–the event that sent her into hiding. But with heavy storms rolling in, she must focus on the present, not get caught up in the past.
When a mysterious man at the lodge saves her life–more than once–Remi becomes suspicious and confronts him. After a catastrophic event in his own life, former military pilot Hawk Beckett is trying to get some perspective at the suggestion of his former commanding officer. Faced with the fiercest storm to hit the coast in a decade, Remi and Hawk are forced into survival mode.
But they’re not alone at the lodge. Someone doesn’t want Remi to remember what happened–and they will stop at nothing to see her dead.
Narelle’s Thoughts:
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.
