HOLIDAY HIDEOUT
When computer expert Arden DeMarco hacks secret files and discovers evidence of treason, a price is put on her head. What started as a mission to help a friend is now a fight for her life with assassins and the FBI tracking her down. There's no time to get distracted by her brother's best friend, Kane Walker, but the security expert promised Arden's family he'd bring her safely home for the holidays. Instead they're dodging bullets—and fighting their growing feelings—while Arden races to break the encryption and find out what's hidden in the files she stole. But as they're hunted by armed henchmen determined to make sure those secrets are never uncovered, keeping Arden safe is the only Christmas gift that matters…
Off the Grid Christmas Reviews
-
This one was a fun little mystery with some unusual elements, which I liked. The brilliant computer developer/hacker has a great obsession with Christmas and a tendency to chatter rapid-fire when nervous, which was fun. She also ends up on a cross-country trek with a cat under her jacket, which I honestly haven’t seen before in fiction!
Fun read that kept me on the edge of my seat. -
Arden is a tough little sister of several brothers. She is a genius at computer coding and hacking and has discovered an evil plot to sell a government program to a foreign entity. Now she is off the grid in hiding while the evildoers are hunting for her. Christian contemporary mystery thriller.
-
Arden has the FBI after her. And she is stubborn. She won’t let anyone help her. The only reason Kane gets a foot in the door is that he is in the right place at the right time to assist her.
She has the proof that could put some people away for a long time. So, needless to say, they don’t want her telling on them.
A lot of running around going on in this one. I did do my fair share of skimming but the book was good, solid. Definitely worth the read. Check it out.
I bought this book with my own money. -
This was yet another little paperback that took me by pleasant surprise, and I'm glad I picked it up on a whim when I did!
Truth be told, it took a little while for this book to hook me. Don't mistake that for it being slow; it's hardly slow-paced. From page one you're moving at breakneck speed, with the background of the situation coming to light as events unfold. Still it took me a while to really get into the story itself, and I'm not entirely sure around what point that happened. Hazarding a guess, perhaps it was a third of the way into the book, and event then I'm not sure what exactly hooked me.
As seems to be the case with nearly every book published by Harlequin that I've read thus far, I really would have liked more of the extra information fleshed out. What we have in the story to go off of isn't bad, but it's sparse. I would like the story to be longer, for the backgrounds of the characters and their personalities and the like to be expanded upon, so there's more of a feeling of heart and soul behind it all. But for a very clean story centered around romance and...it's categorized as suspense but it feels more like intrigue, it's well-written and the interactions between the two main characters and the ending are very sweet and fluffy. If you want a bit of an action packed little intrigue story set around Christmastime with a sweet, warm little romance, this is one I definitely recommend looking into! -
My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Off the Grid Christmas. Mary Ellen is a fairly new author to LIS but I really have enjoyed her books. They are well written action packed, and faith filled. You are going to love it.
Computer Expert Arden DeMarco discovers a secret file with evidence of treason. She was just trying to help a friend but now she is in trouble and is running for her life. She needs to break the encrypted program she hacked. Her brother sends his best friend to help her and bring her home for Christmas.
Security Expert Kane Walker is sent to find Arden and bring her home to her family. He never dreamed they would be fighting assassins, running from the FBI, and dodging bullets. She is his best friend's sister so she is hands off no matter how attracted he is to her. Can he keep her safe without loosing his heart?
A struggle to stay alive surrounded by men trying to retrieve the evidence and kill them. God has a plan for these two; a plan for good and not for evil. God has a plan for you too. Give Him your heart and watch Him straighten out you mess. -
I love the heroine in this book! Arden is an expert with computers and listening to her talk is refreshing. She is incredibly intelligent fortunately Kane is not put off by her intelligence as so many men would be. I enjoyed how the heroine takes the lead in this story all the way to the end. Great book!
-
Christmas romantic suspense with a quirky genius heroine and her cat. Throw in a little humor and you have a fun read. The Love Inspired line is Christian, but this one had so little actual "christian" content as to be almost non-existent, so anyone could enjoy it. No sermons anywhere.
-
My interest in this genre is restored. This book was very entertaining. It has interesting lead characters, delightful repartee, an intriguing plot and a believable budding romance.
-
The story line be was good, espionage/action. I personally do not care for romance. And this was full of it. But non the less it was Okay

This is a fun mystery set at Christmastime. I enjoyed Arden's determination to solve the mystery and Kane's focus in keeping Arden safe. This book kept me engrossed from start to finish. A great read!

I read Into thin air and first met Arden DeMarco. I found her fascinating back in Jan. when I read the 1st book for she was into facts and figures. Plus she was a geek. Then this came out with her story and I met her guy for the story Kane Walker. He was like her opposite. She used facts and figures to calm her, he used knowledge to fix a problem. I loved the story for she kept you guessing as the story went as to how they got out of a situation. Each one was different and they worked as a team to solve as a problem. It was fun and interesting to read this book. Mart Ellen will be an author I willbe watching because both books were awesome. So she is one to watch. J

I enjoyed this one - PRETTY MUCH - had a couple of things that kept it from being a FIVE-STAR - but - I'll read more of Mary Ellen Porter...
-
Great suspense that made the book difficult to put down!
