My Rating: 4 Stars

From the Back Cover: Hate mail was one thing. This was quite another.

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 elusive foe, 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

This book is a must-read for fans of Irene Hannon! She starts this new series off with a bang as we are introduced to radio talk show host Eve Reilly and Detective Brent Lange. The multitude of suspects with a motive to hurt Eve will keep you on your toes until the mastermind is revealed!

The story does have a bit of a political focus, since Eve is an outspoken conservative talk show host. It feels very relevant to the news of the day, almost like it could be ripped from the headlines! The fast-paced plot is balanced out with quieter moments as Eve and Brent get to know each other. Brent’s struggle with trusting someone with his heart feels authentic, because of both his childhood and his law enforcement career, and I really enjoyed the way his and Eve’s relationship developed. Eve’s two sisters are fun characters too – I love the sister dynamic, and I can’t wait to read more about them in the next books!
