Another excellent installment in the Nikki Boyd series. These books are so addictive! I love Lisa Harris's writing, and it's great that the stories are squeaky clean, too. Plenty of thrills and danger without sensuality or curses. Happy face!

Do yourself a favor: when you start book one, have two and three all lined up behind them. Definitely recommended.

Nikki has a lot to deal with in this story. The main suspect appears to have his finger in every pie, yet is so charming and innocent in person that he couldn't possibly be the one...could he? Is there another plausible suspect with fingers in every pie? Harris definitely kept me guessing with the layered characters.

Though the romance is still understated, it ticks up quite a bit between Nikki and her man. Also, though it's evident that Nikki is a reliever, there's less of a faith message than in the previous two books. But I'm okay with that because of understanding Nikki's faith from the other stories.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigations Detective Nikki Boyd is on her way home when her plane crashes while landing. Lucky for her, she only banged her head. As Nikki is helping passengers get off the plane, she loses sight of the woman who was sitting next to her. FBI Agents approach Nikki at the airport and ask her to help find Erika Hamilton, the woman who was sitting next to her on the plane. Erika is under the protection of the FBI; but has disappeared. She is scheduled to testify against her ex-boyfriend. The FBI agents appeal to Nikki for help.

This is the third book in the Nikki Boyd series. Nikki works in the Missing Persons unit of the TBI. She knows they are working against time, trying to find Erika before her former boyfriend eliminates her. This story is non-stop action. Nikki and her investigators face one obstacle after another in this case. Just when I thought they were getting close to finding Erika, something else would happen. While I loved the suspense portion of this book, I was totally bored with the romance. I don't see any chemistry between Nikki and her boyfriend Tyler. They didn't have a lot of page time, which was fine with me. My rating: 4 Stars.

This third novel from the Nikki Boyd Files was action packed! The action begins on page one and doesn't let up until the final few pages.

Nikki is traveling on a commercial flight from Houston to Nashville when there is an explosion downing the plane. She is looking forward to seeing Tyler after his return from the Middle East. Instead of spending time with Tyler, she finds herself on a 48 hour ride to find a missing passenger from the plane.

The Nikki Boyd Files series is recommended for fans of suspense.

My gratitude to the publisher, Revell, for a complimentary net galley copy of Pursued. The opinions expressed are my own. I was not required to post a review.

First, the disclaimer. "I was provided a free copy of this book. All opinions are my own." That done, PURSUED is, I think, the first book I've read by Lisa Harris, but I am greatly impressed. This suspense grabbed hold and held on through-out the entire book.

Yes, I knew who the bad guy was. I knew why. But the suspense was in Nikki trying to find the missing key witness before the villain did. How did the witness disappear so fast? Even more scary is airline officials denied that anyone was even sitting in the seat next to Nikki after the airplane crashed... that seat was empty. Was the woman a figment of her imagination?

I had to keep reading to see what happened next. And how it would play out. I haven't read any of the other books in this series, but this one easily stands alone. I maybe tempted to go back and read Missing and Vendetta though.

Fans of suspense will definitely want to read PURSUED. There is no faith message and the romance is there, but only slightly.

Fans of police dramas will enjoy this fast moving story! From the first exciting scene to the end, it all takes place in just a few action-packed days.
Nikki leads an exciting life as a missing persons investigator in Nashville. She is a good character, tough and smart, but compassionate when needed. Plenty of action and suspense with some gritty scenes, yet also some touching moments squeezed in that add inspiration and a little bit of a romantic interest carried over from the other books. Nothing sugar-coated or too sappy here.
Third book in the series, but easily reads as a stand alone. Recommend!

"Sometimes today's troubles left her feeling as if she were drowning . . . . and these past twenty-four hours . . . . . "

T. B. I. agent Nikki Boyd has just survived a plane crash; one of her seat-mates did not survive, and the other one has disappeared; in fact, the flight manifest never recorded the young woman's presence at all, but Nikki has her watch to prove it. Suddenly finding herself in the middle of an
F. B.I. investigation, instead of reuniting with Tyler Grant, the growing love of her life, Nikki is determined to find the young woman who was scheduled to testify in a grand jury investigation.

The next forty-eight hours are crucial, especially when the stakes are suddenly raised higher than anyone expected. There are a trail of deaths to follow, but just where is Erika Hamilton? Fighting injury, exhaustion and desperation, follow Nikki and her team as they bravely pursue justice for all.

A riveting read!

I didn't think I could love another series by Lisa Harris as much as I loved her Southern Crimes series, but the Nikki Boyd files definitely give it a run for its money. "Pursued" is the third book in the series and although you'd get more enjoyment out of reading the entire series, you don't have to in order to enjoy this one. The book takes off with a bang, literally, as the flight Nikki is on crash lands and the woman in the seat next to her vanishes, seemingly into thin air. In the midst of all the turmoil, Nikki also has to manage some personal crises of her own, but her lasting faith in God is the anchor that pulls her through. I enjoy not only the suspense and thrill-a-minute aspect of Ms. Harris's books, but also the relationships, complex characters and trust in God that she manages to interweave effortlessly with the non-stop action. This book will keep you flipping pages at warp speed.

Book #3 in The Nikki Boyd Files takes us on another trip with Special Agent Nikki Boyd of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations. Action fills the pages of this book from the start when the plane Nikki is traveling crashes upon landing and the woman sitting next to her mysteriously disappears.

This suspense story certainly delivers. It seemed that every other chapter significant setbacks held the heroine from accomplishing her mission but I have to admit that by the time I got to the last ten chapters I was exhausted. And so I skimmed ... yeah, not entirely proud of that but I really just wanted to see the story end and the good guy win and the bad guy go down.

The story doesn't slow down much if at all regardless of the interpersonal struggles the heroine is facing. I know this is suspense but I really, really wanted something more to happen between Nikki and beau Tyler. After all, in the last novel they were so close ... and then BAM! I have to wait until next book and yet here I am still wanting some closure or something more ... maybe I've been reading too much romantic suspense 😐. Regardless of my need for some romance, I did find the heroine's dismissive response to her family and friends post-plane crash (and several other life-threatening moments) a bit too much for me to empathize with. I get being all job-focused and whatever but I would've liked to seen Nikki respond differently--or at the very least a reasonable explanation besides a missing person case to keep her away from them. Even my soldier knows how important familial connection is post-traumatic events.

The plot is full of crashes, explosions, and near-death experiences that will make suspense fans happy. The faith element isn't preachy but the heroine offers up prayer in her times of need, which at times felt superficial to the plot but authentic to the character. I think fans of Lisa Harris and Nikki Boyd will be satisfied with this new release and anxious for the next.

Enter another fast-paced race against time. I love the way that this series is an adrenaline charged adventure. The romance takes a back-seat, yet moves a step forward sweetly toward what I hope is a forever for the characters. The twists and turns kept the pages flying for me. A perfect read for those who love romantic suspense where the suspense takes center stage.

{OHS girls can add up to a full star for interest in law enforcement &/or murder mysteries.}
Wow. What a crazy read. This was a highly anticipated read for me after the ending of the last book. I've waited nearly a year to get my hands on this one. And oh my goodness, this did not disappoint for my suspense-lovin' heart. Oh. This was just what I was expecting and more.
Nikki is back and just as awesome as ever. I loved all the twists and turns of this third book. Shockingly my heart wasn't racing as much as I thought it would be, but I did get completely involved into the plot and was quite literally pouting when it was over.
I also have to take a moment and just swoon over how this cover looks with the previous two books cover. And let's not get me started on the spines. #AllTheHeartEyes
Now that I know the news about the fourth book in the series about Nikki's sister. I’m going to say it's going to be intense, I'm calling it now.

I think Pursued is my favorite book in the series so far. After being slightly disappointed in the previous book, I was a little nervous that this book would also let me down...but it didn't and instead I was hooked and really enjoyed the story.

I loved how the romance that had been teased about in the first two books, finally ended up being a part of the story. I really like both of those characters and seeing them in a relationship is great and makes me happy for them. :)

The suspense was good and kept me turning pages. There were some very intense scenes and even some unexpected events.

All in all, Pursued was a thrilling read. I really liked it and recommend the book.

Can you imagine sitting next to someone on a plane and having the plane crash, you survive, but they tell you that no one was in the seat next to you? Must have a concussion, but you have something in your possession that proves you are right, will they believe you? This is basically what happens to Nikki, and what it leads to is unimaginable.
By the end of this book it is a miracle that Nikki even survives, from one page to the next her life is one the line, and she seems to be an energizer bunny, and keeps on going.
This is one of those books that you are quickly turning the pages for answers, but once you are at the end you wish you had gone slower, and that there was more.
If you like mystery and suspense this book is for you, and although it is the third book in this series, you will not be lost to read as a stand alone, but it will make you want to read the other two, they are just as good. I want more!

Nikki Boyd is returning to Nashville on what should be a routine flight. Then the plane crashes. Suddenly Nikki finds herself in the midst of chaos. When the woman who was seated next to her disappears, the FBI ask Nikki to help. But it's a race against time, and the FBI won't share all of the details. Can Nikki and her team find answers before it's too late?

I've enjoyed each book in this series and this one was no exception. I loved how fast paced this book was. The twists and turns that the case followed had me eagerly turning the pages.

What I found different than the others in the series was that Nikki was a victim this time as opposed to the investigator. Seeing her attempt to separate herself from her job was interesting. Especially when she was trying to figure out her relationship with Tyler.

I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense.

I received the Kindle copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley for the purpose of giving my honest opinion. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Recommended to fans of romantic suspense, Irene Hannon

This book has one of the best opening scenes with the plane crash. I really felt sucked in. The first half I was completely wrapped up. Then as the second half went on and more murders, while not graphic, I started feeling it was too much. I think I'm more used to love inspired suspense books which are much tamer. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't too descriptive, it's totally a personal thing. If I were in a different mood I maybe would have even been less bothered. Since it's all mood & preference I didn't knock stars off :)

Nikki Boyd is flying home to Nashville, chatting with the woman next to her and looking forward to seeing Tyler who has just arrived back from three months in Africa when the plan crash lands. She realizes that Erika, the woman seated next to her is missing and the air marshal sitting next to her is ded from the crash, but apparently she was never on the plane.

Nikki and her team are pulled into the case by the FBI, and a lot goes on over the next 48 hours in this action packed thriller as more questions continue to arise about Erika and those in her life. While I am not big on thrillers, this one is well done and keeps you on your seat from start to finish.

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review. In order to prepare to read this book, I did read the first two books in the series as I wanted to know what happened previously. The book does a great job in explaining what has happened in the past but I just like to read series in order. I'm glad that I did because I got to see how Nikki and Tyler's relationship grew over these books.
Nikki has joined the Missing Persons Task Force after her sister went missing 10 years ago. She now knows how families feel when love ones go missing and she takes her job very serious.
In Pursued, Nikki is sitting on a plane next to a woman named Erika Hamilton when the plane suddenly crashes. After the crash, Nikki was looking around for Erika but she seemed to have disappeared off the plane but in the seat Nikki has found Erika's watch.
I don't want to give away any spoilers but you need to read this book in order to find out why Erika has disappeared and how Nikki feels bound and determined to find her. You will not be disappointed as the book is non-stop action and adventure. The characters are well-developed and the plot is an excellent one that will keep the pages turning unstoppable. Lisa Harris' writing is amazing as she weaves twist after twist down to the last page.
I now look forward to book four as the suspense in these books is like a non-stop roller coaster and I can't wait to go for another ride. I would highly recommend this series to those who love suspense thrillers with a hint of romance.

This is the first book in the series Nikkie Boyd Flies I have read. I was worried I would be lost jumping into a series. I wasn't because Lisa Harris was able to bring the past and present together quickly keeping reader engaged in the the current story while giving new readers a chance to catch up.
Lisa Harris is able to keep readers engaged though out the story while building the different characters who readers will become attached to quickly.
While the plot line is pretty predictable the author is able to keep reader engaged with the strong characters who seem understand who they are in the creation of the Lisa Harris world.
Pursued is well throughout book that will have reader rereading the book for enjoyment.

There was plenty of action and excitement, but I wasn't wild about the ending. It seemed a little too easy.

I was surprised there wasn't more revealed about Nikki's sister in this one. In both of the previous books, she has gotten more information, and there wasn't much learned in this one.

I also found it a little hard to believe that the book takes place over only 2 days. It's a little hard to believe that Nikki could have had that much happen to her in 48 hours.

Overall a good suspenseful read. I hope everything turns out ok in the last book.

Nikki Boyd is returning home from Houston to Nashville and survives a plane crash. But when she goes to find the woman sitting next to her, she is running away from the crash site.

The FBI gets involves her and her team in the case, but why aren't they telling them the whole story?

A chaotic, roller-coater of catastrophes occur until the team has a conclusion to their latest missing persons case.

This book started off with some action, and a good story line. Then there was more, and then more, and then more. It got to the point of unrealistic and the rest of the book was ok. Was it a good story? yes. Was there action? Yes. My sticking point was there was too much for one person. I almost got to the point of wondering what else the author could possible throw in. With everything that happened to Nikki Boyd in this story, the obvious choice to play her in a movie would be Gal Godot since she has already portrayed a "wonder woman".

I love mysteries and suspense that keep me hopping and begging me not to put the book down. With Lisa Harris's The Nikki Boyd Files, I have felt like that completely. With this series, I have returned to Nikki Boyd and her best friend, Tyler, and watched her interact with the mysteries that come across her lap.

The writing is clear and concise. I can completely see the setting. I could feel the airplane turbulence in the first couple of chapters and held my breath as they crashed to the earth. Harris does a good job at bringing Nikki to life in the third installment of this series. While the novel features the same heroine, Harris has stayed true to who Nikki is. She didn't do anything that seemed out of character for me. Tyler, the returning hero, is a military man who is the type of man everyone would want in their life. He supports Nikki completely even when she makes dumb mistakes and keeps putting herself in the path of danger. But there were moments that he appeared to be kind of fake. Instead of stopping the woman he loves from chasing the bad guys, he shrugs his shoulders and moves on with his life.

The top reason I enjoy suspense and thrillers is the fast pace of the novel while wondering who is the bad guy. With Pursued, Harris kept the action moving. Every time a chapter was about to end, Harris would throw Nikki into another harrowing situation where she had to run for her life or be caught in the cross hairs. I had a really hard time putting the book down. I stayed up way too late finishing the book, which I love. But I had a hard time believing that a number of bad things could happen to one person in a forty-eight hour period.

As for the romance between Nikki and Tyler, Harris finally allowed them to come to terms with their happily ever after. It may have taken three books, but I'm glad to see them realize their ultimate relationship together.

The plotline is has been done a number of ties, but I still enjoyed following the story even though the ending was pretty predictable. Similarly, the spiritual elements were not preachy. Nikki did pray for help from God when she was in a difficult situation. I highly recommend Pursued to fans of Lynette Eason, Christy Barritt, Patricia Bradley, and the fans of the first two books in Nikki Boyd's series.

In conclusion, Lisa Harris' conclusion to the Nikki Boyd files is a non-stop story, begging for me to continue reading to see what happens to Nikki and Tyler as she races to the solve a missing person case. I really enjoyed the action and how slow the romance took to come to a reality.

I received a complimentary copy of Lisa Harris' Pursued from Revell Publishing and the opinions stated are all my own.

Pursued was a roller coaster of a suspense novel! It was absolutely packed with action. The main character, Nikki Boyd, was plunged into danger time and again as she desperately tried to solve her latest case.

Pursued is the third book in the Nikki Boyd Files series. The main storyline in this novel, which is one of a missing woman, could stand alone. Yet I believe that the underlying character and relationship growth between Nikki and Tyler would be better understood by reading all of the books in order.

This novel was truly packed with action and suspense! It was almost non-stop, yet believable. I’m really looking forward to book four in the series.

Agentka specjalna Nikki Boyd jest przyzwyczajona do niebezpieczeństwa - już wiele razy omal nie przypłaciła swojej służby życiem. Nie spodziewa się jednak, że samolot, którym leci, rozbije się przy lądowaniu. Korzystając z zamieszania, siedząca obok Nikki młoda kobieta - Erika, znika zaraz po opuszczeniu samolotu, ale kiedy agentka próbuje ją odszukać dowiaduje się, że nie ma jej na liście pasażerów. Kiedy w sprawę włącza się FBI okazuje się, że Erika jest kluczowym świadkiem w ważnym procesie i musi zostać odnaleziona, zanim dopadną ją jej prześladowcy. Kto lepiej nadawałby się do tego zadania niż agentka specjalna do spraw osób zaginionych? Ale kiedy przeciwnik jest tak potężny, każda sekunda może decydować o życiu lub śmierci…

"Ścigana" to już trzecia odsłona sensacyjnego cyklu Akta Nikki Boyd, którego bohaterka po zaginięciu siostry wstępuje do policji i poświęca życie poszukiwaniu osób zaginionych, aby oszczędzić ich bliskim niepewności, z którą od lat musi żyć jej rodzina. Seria charakteryzuje się wartką akcją, wciągającą fabułą i wartościowym przesłaniem, wplecionym w pełne wyzwań losy głównej bohaterki.

Nie inaczej jest w przypadku trzeciego tomu. Po raz kolejny Lisa Harris serwuje czytelnikom jazdę bez trzymanki - pościgi, strzelaniny i czyhające z każdej strony niebezpieczeństwo. Akcja powieści rozgrywa się w ciągu dwóch dni, obfitujących w wydarzenia, więc nie sposób nudzić się podczas lektury. Nikki wraz ze swoim zespołem robi wszystko co może, żeby odnaleźć Erikę i ochronić ją przed ścigającym ją mężczyzną, co nie jest łatwym zadaniem, kiedy poszukiwana osoba nie chce być znaleziona. Stopniowo na jaw wychodzą kolejne fakty o kobiecie, podwyższające stawkę i sprawiające, że coraz bardziej jej współczułam i miałam nadzieję, że jej historia zakończy się szczęśliwie.

Również Nikki zasługuje na szczęśliwe zakończenie i mam na myśli zarówno jej pączkujący związek z Tylerem - jej najlepszym przyjacielem, jak i ostateczne rozwiązanie sprawy zaginięcia jej siostry. Liczyłam na to, że ten tom serii przyniesie odpowiedź, co stało się z Sarah, ale niestety się zawiodłam. Szybki research pozwolił mi jednak dowiedzieć się, że w cyklu Akta Nikki Boyd ukazał się też czwarty tom - choć już nie o Nikki - który rzuca światło na tę nierozwiązaną sprawę. Mam nadzieję, że doczekamy się jego wydania w Polsce.

Trochę mi smutno, że to była już ostatnia książka o tej bohaterce, bo bardzo się z nią zżyłam przez te trzy tomy. Podoba mi się w niej to, że chociaż jest wyszkoloną agentką, silną i pewną siebie, nie polega tylko na własnych możliwościach, ale we wszystkim co robi powierza prowadzenie Bogu i nie waha się prosić Go o pomoc, wiedząc, że już nieraz ratował ją z beznadziejnej sytuacji. Nikki jest bardzo ciepłą kobietą, pełną empatii, gotową do ogromnych poświęceń, żeby pomóc innym. Dajcie jej szansę, a na pewno polubicie ją tak bardzo, jak ja.

Cykl o Nikki Boyd z pewnością przypadnie do gustu miłośnikom kryminałów, thrillerów i powieści sensacyjnych, pozbawionych wulgarności, a za to wzbogaconych o wartościowy przekaz. Polecam serdecznie.

Lisa Harris gives us a story with more twists than O. Henry! Don't bother trying to guess. Just allow yourself to be swept up in this thrilling ride!


I do just want to note that there are some hard deaths in this story. Nothing extremely graphic, but that doesn't make it any less difficult.


The story starts with an airplane crash that makes me seriously reconsider ever flying again! Once Nikki is pulled into the missing person case for her fellow passenger, her life is put on the line again and again. This case is personal is so many ways. Even though Nikki is a seasoned agent, she's a human being, so seeing her struggle with her near death and the hard-hitting angles of the case proved to be realistic. In the midst of Nikki's desperate search, she learns to let go of the plans she has for the future with Tyler...and trust God. In case I've worried anyone, Nikki and Tyler sitting in a tree... ; )


Four Stars! Action packed!! This might be my favorite book in the series. If you like a suspenseful story with a little romance, then you must read this story. Each story is its own separate mystery, however, since there are elements in the backstory and romance that build in each book, I recommend reading Vendetta and Missing first. To my knowledge, this is the last novel in The Nikki Boyd Files. HOWEVER, Vanishing Point: A Nikki Boyd Novel, releases November 7th, 2017. The story is told from a different perspective. Also, rumor has it that we will finally learn what happened to Nikki's sister, Sarah.


I. Can't. Wait.

At the recommendation of a Goodreads friend I decided to try out my first Lisa Harris book. I was not disappointed! Despite the fact that it was the third in the series (what is with that? This is now the third book in a row that I’ve read that was the third in a series. I guess they do say ‘three’s a charm’ but seriously! Okay anyway…), it worked pretty good as a stand-alone. I could tell that there were things in the previous books that were referenced, but it never felt like it was hard to follow or anything. I do want to go back and read those though.

This is one of those fast paced books whose chapter titles are marked by hours and minutes on the clock, and the whole thing takes place within the space of about 60 hours. Definitely made it difficult to put down.

There were some unexpected (even disappointing) twists, and I actually don’t feel like there was complete resolution to the main issue, but not sure if that might be something the author continues in her next book. I can’t go into details without giving serious spoilers.

I did enjoy the spiritual side as well. While it wasn’t as strong as others I’ve read, she still brought out some great truths, especially toward the end.

Mrs. Harris is a very talented author and I look forward to reading the next book in the series as well as others she’s written as I get the opportunity.

Overall, I would give this a four star rating!

I have been looking forward to Pursued since I read its excerpt last year at the end of Missing. This story was an adrenaline rush. Starting with the crashed airplane that Nikki was on; her day goes from pretty bad to worst. And then some more bad happens, a lot. I actually felt really bad for her and if it were me I would have went off with new hunky boyfriend/ best friend Tyler for the rest of the day. But no, Nikki becomes a key witness and the best possible hope in a missing person’s case of the woman who was sitting right next to her on the plane.

This was jam packed with excitement, danger, and Nikki’s emotions are all over the place. Not only is she dealing with this new missing person case, but she has also received some devastating personal news. This was a very quick read; my only complaint is I was really hoping for more of Nikki and Tyler time. I am hoping that they get their own story, together. I am looking forward to the next in the Nikki Boyd Files where the synopsis tells us that we will finally get the answer we have been waiting for this entire series, the reason Nikki Boyd is who she is: what happened to her missing sister.

I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and the views and opinions expressed are my own. Bring on the next adventure!
