Publisher Description

RITA Award winner Irene Hannon has also won the Holt Medallion for her romantic suspense. In this pulse-pounding thriller, the White House orders elite FBI operator Evan Cooper to secure Monica Callahan from a terrorist threat. But since Monica refuses all calls from her senior diplomat father, she sees no need for his round-the- clock protection-until a chilling "message" leaves no doubt. "Brava! . a not-to-be-missed reading experience."-Romantic Times Book Reviews

"This was my first foray into Hannon's literature and I enjoyed it. This is the second suspense/romance novel I have tried and I liked it better than the previous one I read. The characters were great and the romance felt real despite the short amount of time the characters had to get to know one another. I really liked having the point of view of the terrorists; that made the threat seem real and dangerous. While I was hoping they would fail, the tactics and planning of the terrorists was impressive. I like the detail Hannon put into the methods of both sides. I really enjoyed the emphasis on communication and how that was a theme throughout the book. This was pretty good. I recommend."

    " A free book I downloaded for my kindle and I really enjoyed it! It was good to read something slightly different and I enjoyed the modern storyline with some suspense thrown in. Still maybe a predictable outcome but a good read for me. "

    " This was just ok for me. The suspense didn't start soon enough and it all seemed kind of sappy to me. I still prefer Dee Henderson. "

    " I really liked this book. Admittedly, it was similar to other books I've read (the whole guy protecting girl and developing a relationship); but I really like that story line. I'll definitely look for more of her books. "

    " Just...no. Which is such a shame because it starts out well and I was looking forward to a good thriller - I liked the characters initially and the set-up was interesting, but before I got 1/3rd of the way through the massive religious agenda was so offputting I had to delete it off my Kindle. It really didn't add anything to the story, and having flicked through the other reviews I'm glad I didn't continue to waste my time. As the saying goes, having a religion is like having a penis - it's great to be proud of it but don't shove it down my throat unless I ask you to. "

    " When I first started reading this I was a little disapointed by the imeadiate physical attraction between the two main characters. I was thinking that I would be more preocupied with staying alive, but as the story progressed I found myself caring for the characters and involed in the story. The romance wasn't overt and the thrilling action in the story was very well done. I found myself hoping for a little more bible quotes but the christian perspective was well done. "

    " This was a kindle freebie. This could have been good if all the religion was left out. It was like the plot was secondary to all the heavy handed preaching throughout the book. "

    " I actually liked this book and all the military jargon it had in it. For some reason I am liking war books lately and this fit my current taste. Of course it incorporates faith and religion and how that can help anyone in their life. It's a fun read. "

    " Christian romantic suspense. It moved at a good pace and the characters were nicely developed. As a christian romance, I didn't feel it was overly "preachy". It focused more on the subject of forgiveness. "

    " I'm not usually that keen on "romantic suspense", but the romantic element wasn't too intrusive, and it was written from a Christian perspective so there weren't any tedious descriptions of the sex act. From the suspense point of view the plot moved along nicely and kept me interested. "
