Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Research scientist Caitlyn Lindsey is convinced that someone is taking out her team one by one. First, a friend and research partner was killed in a home invasion. Three months ago, her boss died in a suspicious car accident. Four days ago, another partner supposedly committed suicide. And now Caitlyn herself has miraculously survived a hit-and-run. Afraid for her life with nowhere to turn, she reaches out to one of the victim's husbands, Detective Josh Solomon.

Though initially skeptical about Caitlyn's theory, Josh soon realizes that the attack that took his wife's life was anything but random. Now the two of them must discover the truth about who is after Caitlyn's team--and what their end game is--before it's too late.


My Review:
Deadly Intentions is a Christian romantic suspense novel. The main characters acted realistically and were likable, kind, and courageous. They worked well together and both valued helping others. I understood why they were attracted to each other as they spent time together. The suspense came from people trying to kill Caitlyn and from Josh not being certain of who he can trust since it seemed like someone in the police department was working against him.

The mystery was interesting, but it seemed like the details about how the deadly virus worked kept changing. I expected the dispersal method to be one way, but then suddenly it seemed to work a different way, which I found confusing. And it's still not clear to me how the main bad guy even heard about the virus being available. I also wondered why Caitlyn and Josh didn't do more to disguise their appearance (hair styles, etc.) since they could have.

There were no sex scenes, but the main characters do walk in on a man in bed with his mistress. There was no bad language.
