"CODE OF HONOR SERIES"--compelling romantic suspense--contemporary inspirational fiction from author Irene Hannon


Dangerous Illusions (Code of Honor, #1)



Trish Bailey is on overload trying to deal with a demanding job, an ailing mother, and a healing heart. When a series of unsettling memory lapses leads to a tragic death—and puts Trish under police scrutiny—her world is once again thrown into turmoil.

Detective Colin Flynn isn't certain what to think of the facts he uncovers during his investigation. Did Trish simply make a terrible mistake or is there more to the case than meets the eye? As he searches for answers, disturbing information begins to emerge—and if the forces at work are as evil as he suspects, the situation isn't just dangerous . . . it's deadly.

Bestselling and award-winning author Irene Hannon captures readers with a mind-bending story that will have them doubling back to retrace their steps—and figure out what they missed!


MY REVIEW:  Irene Hannon is a gifted storyteller of inspirational romantic suspense, and she begins her “Code of Honor” series with “Dangerous Illusions”. Trish Bailey has endured a series of tragedies which have left her in a somewhat fragile state. An accident took the life of her husband and her father and left her mother with serious injuries which later took a further toll on her health. Trish has her hands full with her work, caring for her mother, and helping with the charitable foundation set up by her parents. The attractive accountant, Matt Parker, who manages the finances of the foundation, seems to want to be more than just friends with Trish, but she doesn’t share his sentiments. Her mother’s sudden death at home under Trish’s care leaves her shaken, especially when a cloud of doubt settles around the medication Trish dispensed for her mother. When Detective Colin Flynn is called to the scene, he finds it hard to believe that Trish could be responsible for her mother’s death. An immediate connection is felt by both Trish and Colin, but each has serious issues to resolve. As more facts come to light, “dangerous illusions” are bound to be exposed, and that could lead to deadly revelations. Trish and Colin must trust each other, and find a steadfast faith, in order to reach out for a future filled with lasting love and happiness.

Hidden Peril (Code of Honor #2) 



As teenagers, Kristin Dane and her two best friends took a vow to make the world a better place. Twenty years later, she's fulfilling that pledge through her fair trade shop that features products from around the world. All is well until, one by one, people connected to the shop begin dying.

Detective Luke Carter, new to the St. Louis PD, wants to know why. Before he can answer that question, however, the FBI weighs in and Kristin suddenly finds herself in the middle of international intrigue--and in the sights of the ruthless mastermind behind an ingenious and deadly, scheme. Can this cold-blooded killer be stopped before more people die . . . including Kristin?

Three-time RITA Award-winner and "queen of inspirational romantic suspense" (Library Journal) Irene Hannon doesn't disappoint in this edge-of-your-seat thriller that will have readers up late as they rush toward the explosive conclusion.
 


MY REVIEW:  Author Irene Hannon continues her "Code of Honor Series" with Book 2, "Hidden Peril". Twenty years ago, three teen girls--best friends--had vowed to set right the wrongs in the world. Now, one of them, Kristin Dane, is keeping that promise by selling fair trade products from all over the planet through her own shop. However, her sense of place is shattered by the mysterious deaths of people she knows in connection with her business. A newcomer to the St. Louis Police Department, Detective Luke Carter, begins to investigate the case, but soon the FBI steps in. With the matter now taking on international implications, the threats to Kristin and life as she knows it begin to loom larger as well. As the attraction grows between Kristin and Luke, so does the urgency to resolve the case before another life is taken--maybe Kristin would be the next victim if the killers are not stopped. With the two of them working together, will hope, faith, and the promise of a new love be strong enough to defeat a ruthless evil? Readers will also enjoy Book 1: "Dangerous Illusions".
