The most dangerous enemy is the one who has nothing to lose
Hi again readers!
I have my second October "Must Read" for you to check out and we are switching gears from an easy and fun contemporary romance to a nail-biting, edge of your seat romantic suspense novel. The second "Must Read" for October is Hidden Peril by Irene Hannon! I would recommend this book if you:
- Like to read any books by Irene Hannon (especially her romantic suspense) or have read the first book in the "Code of Honor" series.
- Like to read books by similar authors, Dani Pettrey, Lynette Eason and Lisa Harris.
- Just want to read a new book or check out a new author!
Well, here is the story.
Kristin Dane just wanted to do her part to make the world a better place. After serving time in the Peace Corps, Kristin has finally made her dream of making an impact in the world a reality when she is able to open WorldCraft, a retail store that only sells goods made in small countries around the world. She has been open now for two years and is amazed at how well the items are selling and she loves being able to help the people that live in such poverty stricken places. One of the items that she sells are candles that are made at a Monastery in Syria and they have been one of her best sellers; however, in a blink of an eye, everything can change. One day after being off for the weekend to attend her best friends wedding, Kristin comes into the shop to discover that someone murdered her clerk. The strangest thing is that, the store does not appeared to have been robbed, it just looked like someone had been looking for something. Was this pre-meditated murder or just someone in the wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time? Partnering with local law-enforcement, Kristin finds herself working with Detective Luke Carter, a very handsome, yet professional detective that she has had the privilege to meet once before...
Detective Luke Carter is thrilled that he gets to work with Kristin Dane who has been on his mind ever since he met her at a co-workers wedding. Don't get him wrong though, of course, he wished it was under different circumstances; however, he is determined to remain professional while working on the investigation. The murder of her clerk does not make sense since there is no evidence of a robbery; however as Luke starts to pull away some layers, he finds something that could be scarier then anything they could have imagined -that somehow, Kristin's little shop may have ties to terrorism. The question is, if so, how and is Kristin working with them or is she just a unwilling participant being used by an evil mastermind? Partnering with the FBI, Luke and Kristin uncover a horrific plan that includes funding terrorists who are bent on attacking the USA.
Will they be able to discover who is behind this evil plot in time to save several lives, including Kristin's?
What did I think?
First I want to let you know that this book is the second book in the Code of Honor series, but it can also be read as a standalone. I want to say that although I have always loved reading Irene Hannon's books, This series is shaping out to be my ultimate favorite that she has written. I love the characters, especially reading about the close relationship that the "Treehouse gang" shared and how they would bug and tease each other, but the second one of them needed help or just needed someone to talk to, they would drop everything (if possible) and come over. I have to say though that my favorite part of the story was when both Kristin and Luke patched up their almost-estranged relationship with their parents and that even though, the world was spinning around them, God still helped them both to find a bit of peace in a storm of turmoil. Overall, although there is blood mentioned when discussing the murder of Kristin's clerk, there is nothing graphic or gory about this book and I give it 5 out of 5 stars*****.
