I know that many will consider this heresy, but I think I like the Uncommon Heroes series even better than the O'Malleys. (Though the O'Malley series is really good!) I really liked this look behind the scenes at terrorism and how 2 people of faith handled the events of Sept. 11th. I always feel proud to be an American and know there are men and women like the ones Dee Henderson writes about out there serving our country. This one talked about the price those heroes pay mentally. I enjoyed it.
Increasingly popular author Dee Henderson has received critical acclaims for her romance novels with a Christian theme. Her latest, book number three in the uncommon heroes series, is another winner, chock full of espionage, twisted plot turns, and a view of the life of a CIA agent. Darcy St. James has been retired from the CIA for two years, but when fellow agent Gabriel calls her back to service for one assignment, she cannot refuse. Agreeing to meet former Russian spy, Sergey Alexandrov, at a Florida hotel, Darcy embarks on her assignment. But when the meeting goes awry, Sam Houston,a Navy SEAL she just met, come to her aid. Darcy's views on retirement are suddenly and irrevocably altered when two days later, planes crash into the twin towers. With the sudden deaths of some CIA colleagues added to the Trade Center disaster, Darcy decides to come out of retirement and help her former agency anyway she can. Her intelligence efforts lead her to repeated encounters with Sam, and their relationship seems to flourish, despite time and distance constraints. Can their relationship survive this war on terror, as they treasure the little time they can spend together? Ms. Henderson has succeeded admirably in building stepping stones of romance and intrigue with a plot that thickens as the novel progresses. Most fascinating is the bird's eye view of an intelligence agent's work, and the countless hours of investigation and surveillance that are essential when trying to locate the perpetrator. Mixed in with the creative story line are scripture references that have direct bearing on the Sam and Darcy's lives. Fans of Christian romance will be pleased with the characters' focus on their faiths. And those readers of all romance fiction should find much to like in this enthralling novel where the biblical passages show a hidden depth of the main players.
Excellent choice of books; #3 of a 4 book series; I read this before before & was looking forward to owning the full set for myself (a birthday present to myself). Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time (yes, even though I was re-reading & knew what happened). Dee Henderson is one of my most favorite authors. I really look forward to purchasing more of her books.These are not books for young children who can't understand tough situations.
Love this series, and all of Dee Henderson's series....I find myself reading them more than once just to get lost in the characters lives and how they come together.....Look forward to more from this author!
Another good romantic suspense from Dee Henderson. Darcy St James is different type of heroine--a retired, yet 30-something spy--with a price on her head. She’s strong, maybe to a fault, but likeable, not hard. Her romantic interest is Sam "Cougar" Houston, Navy Seal. I enjoyed more of the dialogue and internal thoughts Henderson had in previous novels, but this one still works well. The unexpected plot twists keep you turning pages. For the serious Christian, the Scripture usages and “talking” with God seem natural and not forced. Good suspense, good romance (although a little more “electricity” in their relationship would have been nice), well–written novel. Satisfying read.
This is the first book I've read from this author. It was well-written and a good read. I really enjoyed that the characters interactions seemed genuine especially when discussing their faith. I don't typically read spy books or military based books because so often they seem very unrealistic. I feel this book did a good job representing that there isn't always neat action-filled moments in the spy business. It demonstrated the paper trail and more boring parts of being a spy. That was nice. I do agree with some of the other reviewers it did seem to drag on in parts- especially towards the end. The romance exchange between Darcy and Sam were very Christian based, so if your looking for more spice, this wouldn't be for you.I really liked the author's writing style and plan on reading another one of her novels.
Poignantly told, filled with Scripture we all need to get us through life's trials in this fallen world, capped off with a touching love story. A must read, a perfect ending to this trilogy. I will be recommending this series to all my friends. Thanks Dee. You are amazing!
Dee Henderson does our military proud. The story grabs you from the start and It's wonderful to know how well our military is trained. I loved this story about Darcy, CIA and Navy Seal, C.P.O. Sam Houston. The two worked together and fell in love in the process. You can't put this story down.
