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.

My Thoughts:
I confess, I’d taken a bit of a break from Irene Hannon’s writing and haven’t kept up with her last few books, but this one sounded very intriguing, so I thought I’d give it a go. And I’m glad I did! I really enjoyed this story and am looking forward to searching out the ones I’d missed.
Part of the reason I stopped reading Ms. Hannon’s books for a while was because I was finding them a bit repetitive. Which isn’t a bad thing. They were just becoming predictable to me and I wasn’t enjoying them quite as much. I definitely can’t say that about this tale! It kept me guessing until the very end! I enjoyed getting to know Eve and Brent, along with Eve’s sisters, (who I hope have staring roles in the rest of the series!) and Meg. Ms. Hannon did a great job of setting up the mystery with red herrings and plenty of twists to keep me on my mental toes. And surprisingly, I also enjoyed the bit of a political bent and how she handled things with Eve’s career. I’m not typically one for that, but I thought she handled it with finesse.
I also really appreciated how she handled a couple side stories that were playing out amidst everything else going on. And I can also say that while she writes characters that I adore by the end of the story, she also does a great job writing characters that you just kind of love to hate. There were a couple of those and I can honestly say that I enjoyed their comeuppance perhaps a little more than I should have.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one!
As always, thank you so much for stopping by! If you'd like to learn more about the book, I'll include links below!
Have a beautiful day!
