I enjoyed this one . It had enough suspense to keep me interested and had a good mix is suspenseful intrigue and family and friends.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review this book

This book had everything I want to see in a romantic suspense novel.
There was plenty of action and the pool of suspects was large enough to keep me guessing. There were just enough clues to make me think I had the culprit figured out, and then maybe I didn’t.
The main characters were both relatable people with plenty of chemistry, who had me invested in their lives and in the outcome of their story. They were both well written and believable as were the side characters.
I loved the thread of family, friendship, and faith that was woven into the story, and I’m already looking forward to the next book in the series.
I received this book courtesy of Baker Publishing Group/Revell and NetGalley through Interviews and Reviews and this is my honest opinion.

It seems normal now that if you declare your political opinions you'll receive threats. But it's also kind of a stretch that somebody would kill a radio host who's show allows all kinds of opinions to be heard.

I don't like that this book equals Christian with conservative (=Republican) and those who disagree with her conservative opinions are of course Antifa ready to kill.

The love story on the other hand is somewhat weird. At first sight they're thinking about marriage material. And this first sight happens the investigation about a bomb at her doorstep. A detective who talks with the crime victim about his difficult youth and his inability to keep a relationship?

Radio talk show host Eve Reilly covers controversial topics highlighting both sides as well as expressing her own conservative opinions. Receiving hate mail is nothing new, but finding a bomb on her doorstep is new. This is just the start of the threats against Eve. Police detective Brent Lange works to track down a suspect, but there is a scarcity of evidence. Brent is convinced that he is not husband material but he is drawn to Eve. I received a free copy of this ebook from the publisher through Netgallery. This is my honest and voluntarily given review. This is an engrossing Christian romantic suspense story. I didn't want to put this book down. Even though I am a long time mystery reader, the villain behind the threats surprised me. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Point of Danger is an interesting tale about stalking, narcissism, media rhetoric and relationships. Someone has it out for radio personality Eve Reilly, and Detective Brent Lange is determined to keep her safe. Overall, I enjoyed the story. I liked the characters and story concept. Having a radio personality as a lead character was something I hadn’t seen in very many books so that was a nice change of pace. The only thing I will say is that I felt the pace of the story was a little slow in places. It just needed a little more action or something. Also, I know the purpose of all of the different storylines going on were to keep the reader from guessing the ultimate villain, but it almost bogged the story down because of extraneous details about those subplots. I did enjoy it and it was a good story, but it didn’t quite draw me in the way I expected it to.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher but all thoughts in this review are my own.

I have read all or nearly all of Irene Hannon's books. I like the Christian suspense/Mystery. Thanks to REvell and NetGalley for the ARC of this book. I enjoyed it and will recommend it to our patrons.

5 star

I really enjoyed this book. Character development was good. The plot was very interesting. Not a lot of typos.

Eve Reilly, has been threatened before, but now the threats have become more serious. Eve is an outspoken radio talk show host whose political and moral views may attract some listeners while strongly upsetting others. She knows that threats come with the territory but when a possible bomb is found on her porch, Detective Brent Lange is assigned the case. He finds Eve to be a strong and attractive woman who needs, but does not want protection. Her sisters are her strongest source of support; Cate who is a detective and Grace a forensic pathologist. When the threats escalate, will he be able to stop the threats before she is hurt or killed? Brent locates a possible suspect, but there seems to be more at play. Could someone else be using these threats to pursue their own agenda? I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

Disclaimer: This is an arc I received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own! I will be doing a more in-depth review later. I enjoyed this thriller and it keeps you guessing until the end.

This book starts off with a fantastic hook that gets you from the beginning. I basically read this book in a day because I could NOT put it down. It was controversial and I loved how it was interpreted in the book. I’m honored to have read it. Probably in my top 10 favorite books of all time.

I enjoyed the mystery in this book, the new characters being introduced. I like the books that Irene Hanson has written and especially the books that run in series of the different individuals— tying the books together with different individuals and their own mysteries. I like that they are all Christian books with Christianity woven in without being pushy.

This was a fantastic book. I literally couldn't turn the pages fast enough as I raced to the conclusion. The heroine is a radio show host who is being targeted by someone who seems unhappy with her views. A police detective responds to her home and becomes entrenched with her as they try to uncover who is behind the growing number of threats. There's also a clear sense of something is ready to go very wrong through multiple character perspectives. I figured out the twist right before the author revealed it. I loved every page.

Point of Danger by Irene Hannon is the first book in the Triple Threat series. Eve Reilly is known for expressing her opinions on-air as part of her radio talk show, and one disgruntled listener has threatened her life by mailing a suspicious package to her. Detective Brent Lange investigates the case as incident after incident continues to happen to Eve. Can they find out who is behind it? Irene Hannon created another great series, and I eagerly await the next installment.

The first in Irene Hannon's newest series. This story features Eve, a radio show host, is a character full of conviction and courage and Brent, a police detective that recovered from an accident and chose to keep working, even though it would cost him. It's a journey of learning boldness, counting the costs and learning to trust.

Absolutely fantastic story! I could not put this book down. Radio talk show host Eve has been targeted by someone. Finding a ticking box on her front door step has her spooked. Brent is the police detective assigned to the case. Brent works to make the connects to the incidents that don’t seem related, but in his gut he knows they are related.
As things get more risky , Brent is in a race to determine what is going on to prevent Eve from being silenced permanently because she is slowly being his heart to life.

Mystery, sisterly love, and possibility of love all rolled into one exciting book!

I recommend this is you like whodunnit books!
Thanks to Netgalley For complimentary copy. Thoughts and opinions are my own.

Eve Reilly froze . . . sucked in a breath . . . and gaped at the FedEx box propped beside her front door. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.

Eve Reilly a successful radio talk show host is on the receiving end of some nasty threatening abuse.
Can detective Brent find the culprit before its too late?
All the while blossoming a love with the feiry red head.

I absolutely loved this book! Very very well written. 2 of my favourite characters ever and a fantastic story line.

Highy recommend this.

If I could choose just 3 authors to read for the rest of my life, one of them-without a doubt- would be Irene Hannon. Whether it's her romance reads or her romantic suspense, she nails it every single time. Needless to say, I couldn't wait to check out the first book in her new Triple Threat Series, Point of Danger. I am happy to say, it didn't disappoint in the slightest.

In this book, we meet conservative radio talk show host Eve Reilly. With her strong conservative opinions, it can be assumed that she has made many enemies for herself. When a bomb scare shows up at her door, she finds herself caught up with detective Brent Lange trying to figure out who has her in their sights, and to stop them before it's too late. With so many possible enemies and motives, this is one book that will certainly keep you guessing. I must say that while I figured out some things early on in the book, the reveal of the ultimate bad guy in the end had me rereading to make sure I'd read that right. It certainly took me by surprise... and as someone who reads many suspense novels, that's really saying something.

In addition to the suspense, I really enjoyed getting to know Eve and Brent, and see their romance as well. As a conservative radio show host, you can already probably guess that she very much has conservative political views, some of which were brought up within the story. As such, this might not appeal to those on the other side as much. That being said however... politics stress me out, and I don't typically care for books that address politics too much regardless of side, but this book didn't bother me at all. I felt like this was just part of who the characters were, and not that it was over the top. The romance and the suspense were really what made the story anyway!

Overall, another fantastic read from Irene Hannon. If you love Christian romantic suspense, this is certainly one to check out!

**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher for consideration. All thoughts are my own.

this was... a lot.

"christian fiction" instills a certain kind of fear in me, but i was morbidly curious. i needed to know if my idea of what it would be was right or if i was being too harsh.

i think i was right.

it might be important to preface this by saying, i'm not an atheist. i feel like most people will see this and just dismiss me as a millennial atheist who hates god or whatever and that's why my review is so negative - but i'm not that! i'm not a christian, either, though i was raised in christianity. my grandmother is a preacher, i attended a month-long bible camp every summer for years, and church like 3 times a week. so i think i understand christianity.

and to me? this isn't a "christian book."

aside from a handful of throwaway lines about attending church and believing in god's plans, the main characters don't really seem christian. of course, there's no one 'true' way to practice your religion, but to act as if their every action is directly fueled by their religion is a little misguided to me. attending church doesn't make you a christian, despite what eve and brent both believe; the rest of their characters is filled out by comically stereotypical conservative views, so i guess the overall point is supposed to be conservative = christian, which is... not true.

the republican idea of christianity is a very specific and narrow view that, to me, isn't really christianity. they don't believe in loving thy neighbor, nor do they afford anyone respect, and neither does eve reilly. she dismisses the idea of police brutality, of racism, of any sort of discrimination, believing that the left is really "destroying" the "ideas" that "this nation was founded upon." this is always funny to me because this nation was founded on the genocide of the indigenous people, but there's no mention of the brutality they faced, nor the fact that people originally colonized this country to escape the religious persecution of the church in england and to like, be able to practice their religion differently... but whatever.

the main plot of this book is that eve is being threatened with notes and fake bombs because of her conservative talkshow, where she's like, Super Eloquent And Stuff, absolutely owning the left on topics like abortion and racism and police brutality, the latter both totally not being a thing, of course. and honestly, the presentation is hilarious. every thought and piece of dialogue she has where she espouses her belief is so stilted and jarring because No One Talks Like That, yet she's constantly praised for how she can articulate an argument. and of course, the whiny liberal babies who try to argue with her can't string a word together; the idea that the left is ignorant and can't speak and therefore resort to violence is constant throughout, as is the implied narrative of conservatives being hotter and just all-around better. the left are painted as lazy, violent, uneducated, ugly, fat and unable to carry a conversation, but eve and brent are toned and beautiful and healthy and active and oh my god! they read books! they're geniuses!

are you kidding?

there's a point where it just feels like satire. the characterizations are so heavy-handed that it's like conservatives are being mocked, especially with phrases like "antifa folks" "antifa people" "anti-government antifa factions"... it's so painful and stupid and honestly laughable if it didn't hurt so much. "antifa" is presented as this shadowy organization. irene hannon, do you know what antifa is? "antifa" is just a shorthand for anti-fascist. there is no "movement", no "group", no leaders; if you oppose fascism, then guess what! you're antifa! welcome to the revolution. are there specific groups out there dedicated to fighting fascism? yes! but they aren't called antifa.

to once again hammer home how this feels like a parody: the reveal of one of the people threatening eve (it's two separate people who have been harassing her) is that her 80 year old neighbor has an NSA level setup in her basement where she's been "coordinated" country-wide antifa terrorist attacks.

i am not making this up. the villain of the book is an 80 year old woman who has NSA-type surveillance and is the head of antifa operating out of her basement.

it's just so stupid and so so so tone deaf. "antifa zealots", as eve calls them, are painted as the aggravators, the violent ones, but it just feels like a fever dream. because irene hannon is constantly bringing up valid points about the left's criticism of capitalism and essentially proving that the government is, in fact, Bad, by bringing up actual racist stuff. like. it's being acknowledged! but antifa are the bad guys! i'm so confused!

near the end, when someone is trying to kill eve, her bland cardboard love interest boyfriend says "saint louis can't afford another michael brown incident," and then eve has some stupid line (paraphrasing because i refuse to read it again) about how accusations of racism and discrimination can tear apart a neighborhood.

you're so damn close to getting it right. these incidents do tear people apart but because they're HAPPENING.

it's just so bizarre and disgusting and misinformed and written solely for people who want to live in their tiny bubble and have their racist, sexist, anti-lgbt attitudes justified under the guise of following their religion. this isn't christian fiction, it's conservative propaganda.

there is just so much more i could say but i'm just baffled that this is real. the last thing i'll touch on is how gross the romance is. eve pressures and tries to manipulate brent into being with her, kisses him without his consent, and it's all framed as romantic. like, he's going through some traumatic stuff and isn't ready for a relationship because he doesn't feel like one would be healthy for him but she keeps screaming how crazy and stupid it is that he won't give her a chance. like. are you kidding me?

but it's okay because he realizes he doesn't want her to die and i guess that means he's in love with her and not, like, doing his job. he is a cop, you know?? isn't he supposed to care about people?? serve and protect?
(i hope you can understand the sarcasm.)

anyway, black lives matter, fascism is bad, and this book is almost as bad. -5 stars.

When Opposing Views Collide...

This was my first novel by Irene Hannon and it certainly won’t be my last! This was such a great read and loaded with lots of points of views, as well as lots of twists. So get ready!

Eve Reilly is a conservative radio host who begins receiving threats based on her views. Enter rookie Detective Brent Lange who is assigned to her case and must figure out who is behind the increasingly alarming threats. Oh and there’s some Christian romance thrown in there too.

The multiple narrators threw me at first, but once I figured out when a new narrator was about to start, it was easy to follow along with the book. I adored Eve, her sisters, and her handsome detective! Hannon really knows how to bring characters to life and has really found a calling in the Romance/Thriller genre. I’m excited to read the second book and will definitely be recommending this one to everyone I know!

Point of Danger is the first book in the Triple Threat Novel series. The author, Irene Hannon, publishes one intriguing mystery after another, and you really can never go wrong picking up one of her books.

This book introduces us to Eve Reilly, a Christian radio personality and strong female character. She is willing to tell listeners what she believes no matter how they react to what she has to say, and believe me, there are those who would like nothing better than to have her silenced. (It seems like Irene has really hit on an element of our life today with this, since there are so many people who are antagonistic toward those who have a different opinion.) Detective Brent is an important part of this story, as he works to find out who is targeting Eve.

Hannon does a really nice job of bringing the characters to life and even delving into some of the issues Brent has from a difficult upbringing. The book takes some interesting, and very surprising turns until it is resolved at the end. Since this is a Christian fiction book, there are some details about the characters faith life included in the book, and of course, the characters don’t curse or leap into bed with people they barely know by the tenth page like so many of the other books on the market.

This is definitely a five star book.
