Radio talk show host Eve Reilly is used to backlash from her pot-stirring on-air commentary and interviews, but now it seems a disgruntled listener is resorting to more than angry words to express their displeasure. When a suspicious package arrives on her doorstep, Eve turns to law enforcement for help.
Police detective Brent Lange can't find any evidence to link the string of unsettling incidents that follows, but he's convinced they're connected. As the harassment grows more menacing, it becomes clear someone wants Eve's voice silenced--permanently.
But unless he can track down her foe, fast, the gutsy woman who is willing to take risks for what she believes--and who is swiftly winning his heart--may not survive.
Passion abounds in Point of Danger—Eve is passionate about her beliefs, Brent is passionate about protecting her, and many are passionately eager to wreak havoc. The opening sentence ramps up the ol’ blood pressure immediately: “The package was ticking.” Great tension, and it doesn’t ease until the satisfying end.
Irene Hannon is one of my favorite authors; I’ve read most of her books, both suspense and sweet romance. I laughed out loud at her cute and subtle self-promotion, a brief, welcome light moment in this fast-paced suspense. One thing I really appreciate about Ms. Hannon’s suspense stories is that she doesn’t stoop to utilizing explicit violence. Tension, both romantic and danger create a story that I couldn’t put down.
I love Point of Danger and give it five stars. I was given a copy of this book from the publisher.
