Tangled Webs (Men of Valor #3)Tangled Webs by Irene Hannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hold onto your seat because this book takes off! The two main characters meet in an unconventional way while both are seeking solace at different cabins in the woods. As much as Dana wants to remain alone by the lake, with the mysterious events occurring nearby, she needs Finn’s companionship.
Irene Hannon creates another whodunit to keep you up reading past your bedtime. If you are looking for a clean, mystifying novel with action, Tangled Webs and the others in her Men of Valor series will fit your need.
I received a copy of Tangled Webs from NetGalley for my honest review which I have given.

Hope Harbor – Truly Brings Hope!

Hope HarborHope Harbor by Irene Hannon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What an enjoyable read as several characters crushed along life’s path find themselves in the same small, beach town, Hope Harbor on the Oregon coast. Is it really a harbor of hope? Tracy Campbell works to save her family’s cranberry farm against many odds along with her aging uncle. Michael Hunter temporarily flees his fast paced life in Chicago to seek solace by the sea and can’t imagine how he will heal his guilty and aching heart. A widowed hermit digs herself away from her former life accepting the longterm alienation from her only family member. How will Hope Harbor open them up to an abundant life full of caring friends and purpose? Can people find their way by helping others even when they are seeking solitude and space?

Themes of forgiveness, healing, and selflessness flow throughout this book. Irene Hannon has written a beautiful novel that speaks of our need for each other in our imperfect humanity. I highly recommend Hope Harbor!

I received this book from Revell Reads/Net Galley and am delighted to have given my honest review.

Deceived (Private Justice, #3)Deceived by Irene Hannon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Irene Hannon delivers a fantastic suspense novel with Deceived! I was drawn into this read immediately and could not stop until the end. Kate Marshall thinks she has moved on with her life after a tragedy three years ago. She finds fulfillment in her job in a new city and has a routine. Then, she sees a little boy on an escalator at the shopping mall who looks exactly like her son; her son, who was never found after a boating accident on a lake in New York. He turned around and looked at her, too. How could it be? What should she do now? Her sleep won’t let her forget his face. The police had shut the case. Would they take her seriously, now? She chooses a private investigator. Will Connor believe her? Will he think she is crazy? Kate must rely on her faith as this is the biggest challenge she has ever faced.

The book flows with intrigue, surprise, and even romance. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend Deceived by Irene Hannon. It is one of her Private Justice novels.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher and Net Galley for my honest opinion.
