Story Enjoyment Rating: 8/10 Christian Faith Rating: 2/3
Point of Danger by Irene Hannon is a Christian, contemporary, romantic suspense novel.
The book follows a radio broadcaster called Eve. She has strong, conservative opinions. She doesn’t hold back on her ethical views, and this has made her some enemies. She finds a package on her doorstep that she thinks may be a bomb. The detective who investigates her case is new to this particular job. He has no desire to get involved in a relationship after his history. The book follows his investigation into who is targeting Eve, as well as the relationship between the two main characters.
I enjoyed the writing style as well as the strong-minded characters. I loved Eve and her sisters. I loved that Eve was so forthright in her opinions. However, I’m not sure that it would be considered professional behaviour for a police detective to spend time socially with a victim of a crime they were investigating.
The mystery was okay but not as interesting as the characters.
There was some Christian faith content. The main characters were Christian, but this we not the focus of the book.
This is the first book by Irene Hannon that I have read. I enjoyed her style of writing and would be interested to read other books she has written.

I read this book last and I am glad that I saved the best for last. This one was by far the best one. I did not see the ending coming!!!

I've come to love and appreciate all of Irene Hannon's suspense books. However, this one was disappointing to me to say the least. I didn't mind so much that the book was extremely predictable (a lot of books are). But I had a hard time getting into it. I found the plot slow and the suspense lacking. Not the nail-biting, intense content that I enjoy about her previous books. Sad to say, this one is not on my recommended list and I'm not sure if I'll read the rest in the series.
I received this book as an ARC from Net Galley to write an honest review..

Irene Hannon Captivates Readers With Her Newest Romantic Suspense Novel, Point Of Danger!
Book one in the Triple Threat series, Hannon immediately captures readers’ interest using current controversies and fictitious events to bring this spellbinding story to life! Point of Danger has all the earmarks of a great book - mystery, dark secrets, romance and exceptional characters!
Irene Hannon expertly brings current events to life in her newest novel, Point of Danger. With an intelligent, passionate lead character in radio personality, Eve Reilly, she begins this story with a forceful impact and thrilling start. I immediately liked Eve and the introduction of police detective Brent Lange, right away, just sweetened the pot for me. His moody, internal musings and protective nature drew me in. I enjoyed the sparks flying between these two characters right from the start.
The suspense lulls midway through the story a bit, but Hannon doesn’t disappoint as she fills the story with suspenseful characters that keep readers guessing and a blossoming romance between Brent and Eve that readers will enjoy. I love how Brent Lange comes into his own through the eye-opening and tender conversations with Eve who’s patience and care further endeared her character to me.
As Hannon wraps up the story, she delivers the climax with a bang that will leave readers breathless and on the edge of their seats! The surprising revelation at the end was a definite highlight for me. My only regret is that this particular story didn’t have a bit more action and was a little heavier on the romance.
However, I believe Irene Hannon is one of the best in the Christian suspense genre and this story further solidified that. This is a definite recommendation for suspense lovers and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series!

I loved the political climate of this book as it so closely mirrors our world today and I love that Irene had the courage to write from the conservative viewpoint that sadly has become so controversial these days. The romance was a little lacking for me. I just didn’t feel the connection. Irene uses the same “formula” for her romances in all her books which is becoming stale to someone who reads all her books. However still really enjoyed this one for the mystery storyline. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed Irene Hannon's first set of books. I found the story good but forced in places.

It had been way too long since I'd read an Irene Hannon romantic suspense and I forgot just how intense they are! Point of Danger was immensely compelling. There was always a sense of danger lurking around every corner which made me so nervous for the characters.
There were plenty of twists and turns that kept me guessing. I never could quite figure everything out, so when the big reveal came, I was shocked. I love when I can be surprised like that.
There's quite a few different POVs and while that can sometimes be confusing and a little bit annoying, I didn't have any issues with it here. They were all distinctive and interesting to read about. Of course, Eve was my favorite. I really admired her for continually standing up for her beliefs despite all of the hate and threats she received.
This was a very topical read. Sometimes I felt like I was reading about an actual real life situation, it was so authentic. It was nerve-wracking, at times, that's for sure. If you're a fan of romantic suspense, you're gonna love Point of Danger.

I loved this book! Read it in two days. I love most Irene Hannon so i'm not too surprised but this was one of the better ones.
Eve Reily is a radio talk show host who is used to drawing controversy and has had her share of angry listeners. But now it appears a listener is out for revenge . A suspicious package arrives at Eves doorstep and law enforcement gets involved. Detective Brent Lange is put on the case and is worried this threat is more than just a package. While trying to find the culprit or culprits these two develop a connection that Eve hopes she will survive to explore.
I love how Hannon put a story that is extremely relevant to today's events and a relationship that isn't an easy breezy love story. It's realistic and relatable. The suspense is enough to keep you reading and guessing until the end. I am also excited that this is book one of a series! I'm assuming the other books will be about Eve's sisters and I can't wait to read their stories.
Thank you Netgalley for the advance copy of this book.
