Decent Christian Romantic Suspense
I enjoyed this story and thought the mystery was handled brilliantly, but believe it could have been better-written.
First of all, I’m not really a fan of inspirational romance. I see religion as something that’s fine in private, but kind of a problem when it overtakes a story – especially as this writing genre excludes even most forms of Christianity, let alone other faiths.

Irene Hannon has done it again. AN EYE FOR AN EYE, the second book in the Heroes of Quantico series, continues where AGAINST ALL ODDS leaves off.
Mark Sanders, a member of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team finds himself in St. Louis recovering from an accidental shooting. While he debates his future and the emotional fallout from a botched rescue attempt, he runs into Emily Lawson, his childhood sweetheart. Their chance meeting in a park turns from nostalgia to sniper fire. Both Emily an More...

An Eye for An Eye is the second book in the Heroes of Quantico series. It doesn't matter though. I haven't read the first one and it was not a problem to follow the characters in this book.
I enjoyed that it was written with a St. Louis setting since I live so close. I could easily place the characters and the officers uniforms which made it fun.

I liked the main storyline. This book I enjoyed more than her first in the series. In fact, Hannon mentions that she wrote "An Eye for An Eye" before the one she placed as number one. However, the romantic scenes were a little cheesy. James Parker's descriptions are a little too intense but certainly not smarmy.

An Eye for an Eye is my first Irene Hannon read, and it definitely won’t be my last. A couple of years ago I absolutely fell in love with Dee Henderson’s romantic suspense novels, particularly the O’Malley Series, which featured a set of siblings, each involved in a high-profile, intense, fascinating career. It’s been a bit of a search for me to find other books that match the “gold standard” set by the O’Malley series - comparable, equally absorbing romantic suspense novels that feature just th

The beginning of 'An Eye For An Eye' is about Mark Sander who after an accidental shooting in a cafe, which kills the cashier, is sent to St. Louis to work as a field agent while the bad press settles. While there he meets his first love, Emily Lawson who is now a psychologist, during a jog in a park. Their reunion is cut short...by a sniper. Emily is shot but it's not clear who was the intended target - Mark or Emily.

Mark and Emily haven't seen each other for 20 years. They fell in love the summer they both spent at Wren Lake. They lost touch with each other after that summer, but never seemed to forget their first love.

Book 2 in the Heroes of Quantico series- "An Eye for an Eye" by Irene Hannon follows along the same vein as her first book in this series. There's FBI agent Mark Sanders working as a field agent in St. Louis after accidently shooting a teenager in a robbery gone wrong and taking some time away from Quantico to deal with some of the emotional fallout from the shooting. While in St. Louis, he accidently runs into an old girlfriend, his first love in fact, Emily Lawson. Unfortunately d

Definitely fast-paced and exciting. I read the book in an evening and didn't want to put it down. It had the right amount of suspense, the right amount of romance. Who is the sniper and which one was the actual target: Mark or Emily? It's Christian without being preachy: Mark has lost his faith, but Emily's is strong and predictably, Mark finds his again. Great conversations make a story better and I loved the banter between Mark and Emily and Mark and his FBI colleagues.

My reading has been pretty darn sporadic but I have completed this book, which I won from Goodreads. Several comments....for the most part this is not the genre of book I read (romance), but there was also a bit of a mystery. For starters the romance part of the novel was predictable. Boy and girl reunite, some tension, and ultimately fall into each others lives. Yadayada. I did not find the relationship development compelling particularily. And, I initially found that it distracted me

This was an exciting book to read, and had both suspense and romance. If you enjoy mysteries, I recommend this book. Irene Hannon has obviously done a great deal of research on the FBI, and the storyline seems very plausible. I would actually give it 4 1/2 stara if that was possible. I couldn't wait to find out what happened, and the romantic part of the story was clean and well-done. There were two possible targets for the perpetrator at the beginning of the story, and the only thing that disap

This story was interesting enough to hold my attention and romantic enough to make me smile. Those kisses slipped in here and there were just often enough to make me savor the romantic element in the story. I think it's worth taking the time to read. There are good character arcs and the spiritual content seemed believeable enough. It was good seeing a strong and compassionate woman portrayed in the plot. The only thing that annoyed me was the constant referring to Wren Lake. It could have been

An Eye for an Eye was written before Against All Odds, though it comes second in the series. After reading it, I didn't find much difference between the characters in this book and the romantic couple in the first. Nothing stood out to make them distinguishable or three dimensional.
The plot was a little better in terms of mystery, but I wish the action/suspense was more balanced with the romance. The book starts off with a bang, literally, but then it's the next 200 pages of romance More...

I love inspirational romance stories because despite popular belief, there are people out there who engage in dating, courtship, etc.. who do believe in the sanctity of marriage, waiting for marriage and purity in their relationships. Hannon doesn't make it look like it is easy. She shows that people of faith have 'desires' just like everyone else.
And, as it happens, there are times when one 'runs into' an old friend under strange circumstances and they reconnect. Throw in a good my More...

While he is there he runs into Emily Lawson, his teenage romance that he has never been able to forget. At their first meeting, a sniper shoots Emily and Mark is sure he was the intended victim. Nevertheless, Emily has a protective detail that includes Mark until they can get to the bottom of who the shooter was. Their relationship starts to progress in fits and starts

An Eye for An Eye is the second book in Irene Hannon's Heroes of Quantico Series; although Hannon admits that this was the first one she wrote. Against All Odds was the first book in the series and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but didn't remember how much until reading this one. Irene Hannon creates real characters and always has at least one strong Christian in her books. In An Eye for An Eye, Emily Lawson is that person. After 20 years she runs into her first love, Mark Sanders, minutes before a s

This book #2 in the Heroes of Quantico series. This is a stand alone book. Each book in the series of three tells a story of one of three friends. This story is about Mark Sanders. Sanders is an FBI agent. he has recently been shot and is recovering both physically and mentally away from Quantico. One day as he is jogging in the park he comes across another jogger, a familiar one.

I had the privilege of interviewing Irene Hannon, author of “An Eye For An Eye” which is the second book in the Heroes of Quantico series published by Revell Books. The focus this time is on Mark Sanders, an agent of the FBI's exclusive Hostage Rescue Team.

As good if not better then the first book in this series, the author does a great job at introducing familiar charcters from the first book, Coop, while allowing you to get to know Mark. The book is filled with action. Case in point, two the characters are targeted by a shooter when you first meet them in this book. Hannon does spend some time writting from the perspective from the shooter, which is a bit of a 'flat' character. But I didn't mind with the action and romance throughout the book.

Irene Hannon is a master of suspense and this plot was no different. I enjoyed that the target wasn't clear cut from the beginning. The God component was powerful in this novel and I particularly loved Emily's approach to steering Mark back on track especially with her quote "But if you can believe in evil, why is it so hard for you to believe in goodness?" Awesome read with equal parts suspense and romance. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Another win for Hannon.

I actually liked this book better than the first book in the series. Mark and Emily had chemistry and connected easily. I liked that it wasn't forced. They both had obstacles to overcome, and they relied on each other for that. It was nice that Coop was included (as well as Nick). I have enjoyed these Christian romantic suspense novels.

It's official, Irene Hannon is one of my new favorite authors. I had a feeling about that after reading the first book, Against All Odds, but now I'm sure. An Eye for an Eye is heavy with both romance and suspense, which makes it face-paced story and I couldn't wait to finish it. I enjoyed how Mark and Emily had a romance history from when they were younger and were reconnected in this book. Also,I loved how Coop was in this book (with often mention of Monica) and it was nice to get to know

Nice to see a continuation of characters from the first in the series; wasn't too sure whether there would be that or not. Thought the different interpretations of the Bible and faith were interesting.
