Irene Hannon is one of those authors that I know I'll have a good story when I pick up one of her books. In her latest, Dangerous Illusions, the first book of a new series titled, Code of Honor, with both suspense, intrigue and interesting characters, a fan of reading will not be disappointed. The opening was definitely mind-swirling, as we encounter more of an ominous nature to start. When the opening leads you deeper into the story with questions, you know you'll want to read on to find out the answer.
"Hollywood couldn't have staged a more dramatic - or ominous - reunion." (7)
Yes, plot had me guessing and wanting answers, yet it was the relational aspects throughout that had me smiling and invested. The camaraderie between Colin, Kristen and Rick was just fun. I love how that affected Trish in the beginning as well. The backstory of our main characters was also well developed to a point of understanding and connection with the readers.
"No way you'd ever back out of the standing Saturday date with your two best friends in the world - unless a woman was involved. Romance can mess with your head." (56)
Not only romance in the case of Dangerous Illusions, I can tell you. In all, this is yet another winner for this bestselling author, and a great start for a new series to follow.
