Summary: Riveting from page one
Comment: I recently discovered Dee Henderson in this novel, and what a discovery! The book opens with a woman (Kelly) floating in the ocean, wondering if she will become a victim like her husband, wondering if the new man in her life (Joe), a SEAL, will rescue her. Flashbacks intertwine with the scene, as the author takes her time entering into the commencement of the story itself. Kelly is falling for Joe, but isn't sure if she has the strength to marry another SEAL. Joe's intensely in love with her, but knows her concerns. Meanwhile the man responsible for her husband's death (Raider) is out to finish off Joe's platoon, putting Joe's life in grave danger. Joe and Kelly struggle to make a decision concerning their relationship in the midst of constant distractions. In the end, Kelly herself is kidnapped by the feared Raider and thought to be dead. This event alone changes Joe's life forever. A must-read book, the best I've seen in a while. Henderson's an amazing writer, and knows what she's talking about. Looking forward impatiently for Book Two!

Summary: Not my Cup of Tea...
Comment: Part of this I guess is my fault, I picked this book up thinking, ok, its a love story between a Navy SEAL and a SEAL widow and some political intrigue. That was the case, but it also says on the spine (which I did not notice) that is labeled as a 'Inspirational Romance', which means, it is a Contemporary Christian Romance. Not my cup of tea...I don't mean that in any bad way or anything, so don't get me wrong, but I like to keep my religion and my romance reading seperate. The way the male lead of a gorgeous Navy SEAL Joe didn't go over with me as going to church every Sunday and the female lead Kelly reading the Bible in bed every night. Not to say the book was bad or not well written. I thought it could've been an interesting plot considering all the work the author put into the research on SEALS and the Navy. The plot fell flat simply because it focused too much on Kelly's insecurities and her incapability to be alone.
I understand she was lonely and loved her husband who died, but the plot was clouded by it so much that I was irritated. Joe was a well thought out character and was wasted in this story in my opinion. The 'villian' was not believeable to me and I actually liked him, lol. You're not supposed to like the villian, but here we can't help but like him. Didn't leave much for me to anticipate. All in all, the constant whining and clinginess of the heroine bugged me to no end and Joe deserved better. The 'bad guy' was too nice. Too much religious overtones. Not enough romance. I gave 3 stars for the in depth look into SEALs lives and work and was astonished. The research was excellent and I applaud Ms. Henderson. Well done...
~Lifeguard Kelly Jacobs was about to drown in the cold waters off the coast clinging to a drowning boy. How were the Coast Guard going to see her? It was dark and a storm was coming in fast. Riptides were all around her. Time was running out...until she remembered Nay SEAL Joe Baker. Her best friend now after her Navy SEAL husband's untimely death 3 years past. He would come find her, he had to. She trusted him, she needed him, if only she could last for a little longer...
Navy SEAL Lt. Joe "Bear" Baker saved Kelly from the freezing and raging tide in the nick of time. He wasn't going to let her die, not Kelly. He had lost his best friend 3 years before and he would not let his widow...the woman he found himself in love with die that night. He knew Kelly would not feel the same, she had already paid the ultimate price of being a SEAL wife. He didn't want to hurt her anymore than she was. But when he saw her hope and spirit sinking lower and lower as time passed, he knew he had to save her, not just from the water, but from dispair. Love...love will save her and him.
The only problem...the very man who killed Kelly's husband is back and so close she can touch him. They're both about to find that trust and love in God and country will be their only hope.
I feel I must make it clear to anyone looking into buying this book that if you are looking for a sweet and very chaste romance with no real violence or offending dialog, this is it. It is a very 'PG' rated romance; it is also the first book in a series called 'Uncommon Heroes'...

Summary: Love those military men
Comment: This was a great book I'm a hopeless fool for a man in a uniform and this novel delivers. The Navy's elite force in action-The SEALS! It has action, adventure romance and CHRISTIAN VALUES! Dee Henderson has indepth knowledge of military life and procedures.
