Publisher Description
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.
Bestselling author and three-time RITA Award winner Irene Hannon is back with a heart-stopping new series that will have you turning pages well into the night.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hannon (Sea Rose Lane) introduces readers to sisters Eve, Cate, and Grace Reilly in this middling first installment of her Triple Threat trilogy. Eve, a conservative radio talk-show host, becomes a target due to her controversial viewpoints. First, a fake bomb containing a sinister note is left on the doorstep of her home. She then receives a disturbing on-air call from someone with private information from one of Eve's past relationships. Commitment-phobic detective Brent Lange works to track down the suspect before the threats to silence Eve are realized. While unable to deny his growing attraction to Eve, his efforts to avoid a relationship only make Eve more curious. As threats escalate and suspects multiply, Brent realizes that life is too short not to grasp the opportunity for true love. Unfortunately, Hannon's tale is uncharacteristically heavy on romance and light on action. Much of the narrative is spent using Eve's radio platform to push a conservative political agenda, and spiritual elements feel grafted onto Eve to paint her as having ideal moral values. Hannon's heavy-handed tale will disappoint fans accustomed to her action-filled romantic thrillers.
Customer Reviews
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!
SCINTILLATING!
Multi-Award Winner Author Irene Hannon is providing readers with a new series (Triple Threat) and Book 1, POINT OF DANGER is SCINTILLATING! Be ready for edge of your seat drama from start to finish! When a suspicious package arrives on her doorstep and she hears a ticking sound, she immediately notifies the authorities.
Police Detective Brent Lange is assigned to the case. He takes this case very seriously and quickly realizes that the predator is escalating his/her harassment. Brent also is impressed with how Eve handles herself even in the midst of all her trials. Too bad he has sworn off relationships. Eve is drawn to him as well. She sees that he makes her case a priority and quickly realizes that he would sacrifice his life for her.
As the mayhem continues to mount, it becomes very clear that this terrorizer wants nothing short of Eve’s death. Yet, Brent has a gut feeling they are missing a big piece of the puzzle. Hannon’s surprise climax clearly demonstrates why her writing continues to garner so much attention and win so many awards!

Kept me guessing
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.
