Danger at the Door in 140 characters or less: Lonely grieving Arizonan orders pizza, gets hunky deliveryman & a stalker. Add budding romance, cute puppy love. House analogy. Tension!

Danger at the door was really good. I’m giving it 4 stars not because the story was in any way lacking, but because I wish it could have been a little longer, and the crisis a little more drawn-out. I don’t normally read suspense, but this was not too scary, even for me. It isn’t horror at all. This was very different from her other book “Its Not About Me”, as that one is written more toward teens, and this one more toward adults. Though, any age group older teen and up can relate to Sutton’s bo...more
In Danger At The Door Michelle Sutton has created believable characters and story line. Laney is a woman who has lost everyone she’s ever cared about and that has made her afraid to step foot outside of her own home. On the night that she is receiving take out from her favorite restaurant the delivery guy isn’t the same and the meal she orders is ruined. What begins from there is a friendship that neither Boki nor Laney is expecting. He is in need of learning English and she is barely making end...more

DANGER AT THE DOOR tells the story of Laney, a young woman paralyzed by fear after losing her fiancé Sam in an accident. She shuts herself off from the world not knowing when/how she will recover from the loss. It is in this state of doubt that a new person enters her life and an old enemy lurks in the shadows.

Talk about a very good read! I recently read a LI that was well written, but the suspense in it was just lame! Danger At The Door is not only good, but it is a real suspense story. Laney lives alone in Arizona, and she's afraid of leaving her house and getting into cars. Ever since her fiance died, she's just been rather reclusive. In the background of this story is the bad guy, who not only knows her, and has tried to hurt her before but killed her fiance-his cousin! So, in comes the hero Bojan...more
Danger At The Door by Michelle Sutton had just the right mix of suspense, romance and ‘steam’. As someone who doesn’t normally read a lot of straight up romance, I couldn’t put this one down. I found myself reading well into the night, and that’s no lie! It’s the story of a grieving woman who has become paranoid in her fears since her fiancé was killed in a car accident. She refuses to go anywhere, orders in all her food and other necessities, and won’t see anyone – until a new, sexy delivery ma...more
Danger at the Door is a great little romance / mystery. I found the storyline completely engaging and I read it front to back in a couple hours! Michelle Sutton did a wonderful job creating intriguing characters who deal with real life passions and fears. I always appreciate the honesty in Michelle's writing because it makes it easy to relate to the characters and their struggles. Danger at the Door is a perfect summer read and I definitely recommend it!
This was my first Michelle Sutton book, and it won't be my last! Michelle makes a creepy situation into a romance with a natural ease. Her characters make me feel as though I've come to meet them. I've experienced agoraphobia and been treated for it, so I understand Laney's reluctance to wander too far outside the house; even using spiders for an excuse. I'm not much of a pet person, either, but Michelle used the pets in this story to move along the action and unite the characters in a special w...more
You just gotta love language barriers. They create such goofy situations sometimes. *G* Having lived in the past with disabling fear, I could SO identify with Lacey. And what's not to love about Bojan? So sweet. :-) A wonderful story that beautifully illustrates how the Lord truly can set us free, even from our worst fears.
Once again another great read from Michelle. She did not disappoint. She's a talented writer and has the gift of drawing the reader in. You become invested in the characters.
She had both suspense and romance. Two things I love in a book. Would highly recomend Danger at the Door to any of my friends.

This book has all the excitement, suspense and action you're looking for with a love story as well, and it's something you won't put down once you start--I loved it! Michelle has taken a faith-based story to a new level and I look forward to reading more!
A very fast read, and you get hooked quickly. I enjoyed this book. It would be perfect to take on a vacation to read in the car or on a plane, or while just laying on the beach.
this book was my first taste of edgy Christian fiction. it had a great dose of romance and lessons to learn about faith.
I wrote the story, so of course I'd love it.
Michelle Sutton can write. Loved this book. It's fast-paced about a woman who lost everyone she loved in car accidents and became a recluse until owner/pizza delivery man delivered love and trust right to her door.
