An entertaining romantic suspense from an author I love.

In this story (the first in the new Triple Threat trilogy), a conservative talk show host finds herself dealing with a stalker, as well as the attractive police detective assigned to her case.

While I enjoyed this story well enough, I didn't appreciate it as much as other books by this author, possibly because my personal beliefs were often at odds with the main characters views.
Regardless, I definitely look forward to Hannon's next novel!

From the description I thought this would be a detective book with a slight flirtation at romance.
In truth it was a complete romance novel with an afterthought at the detecting.
My bad.
It was cute if you go in with that in mind, but it wasn't what I was looking for.
Thanks to NetGalley & Revell for my DRC.

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.

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)

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.
