Product Description

From Amazon.com

In True Devotion, which kicks off bestselling author Dee Henderson's Uncommon Heroes series, lifeguard Kelly Jacobs mechanically goes through the motions of living while seeking to alleviate her grief over the death of her beloved spouse. When Kelly saves the life of young teen Ryan Raines in a daring rescue at sea, his father Charles showers her with attention--and draws Kelly into a sinister plot that may endanger her best friend and new romantic interest, Navy SEAL lieutenant Joe "Bear" Baker. Henderson's strong women characters have an appealing combination of toughness and vulnerability, and she's not afraid of exploring their spiritual side as well as spotlighting their heroics. The sprinkling of military terminology throughout the book might initially seem daunting, but a glossary at the beginning of the novel will help readers who are unfamiliar with the lingo. Henderson excels in concocting just the right blend of romance and edge-of-your-seat action to keep the pages turning. --Cindy Crosby


From Library Journal

Henderson burst onto the romance scene with her "O'Malley" series (beginning with The Negotiator, LJ 2/1/00). Not content to work on one series at a time, she here dives into Navy SEAL territory. As lifeguard Kelly Jacobs risks her life to save a drowning teen, her memory slips back to her late husband and her friendship with Lt. Joe "Bear" Baker of the SEALs. She also remembers her husband's death in a "training accident," which leads her to consider her own mortality. Desperately, she calls on God and pledges to tell Joe her feelings if she survives. When he pulls her out of the water and hears "I love you," his heart skips a beat because he feels the same way. Kelly and Joe turn to God to help them muddle through Kelly's fear of loving another man in a dangerous profession. But God has a few tests about forgiveness in store when the man responsible for the death of Kelly's husband shows up and threatens both their lives. Fans of Suzanne Brockman's "SEAL" series will latch onto this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Reading, Jun 18 2003
By Patricia A. Hancock (Tucson,, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
True Devotion, I think, is the best of the Uncommon Heroes series, and mixes just the right amount of romance, mystery, and intrigue. I have read it 4 - 5 times and frankly, it gets better with each read. Her characters literally come to life and you can identify with them personally.
I love this book, and I have given it as a gift many times. I highly recommend it for exciting Christian reading. (So nice to be able to read a love story where courting is involved, and you didn't blush your way through the book. Thanks, Ms. Henderson

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, May 25 2003
By A Customer
True Devotion was a wonderful and quick read. Kelly and Joe's relationship was handled beautifully and Kelly's anticipation of, and subsequent reaction to, Joe's kiss was electric. Ms. Henderson knows how to suggest a sexual tension without making it about sex...a skill I appreciate as a reader and moderate prude. Normally, I wouldn't include the topic of sex in a review of a Christian book, but I truly *felt* a desire between these two characters more than I have in most of her other works...and yet it wasn't a lusty desire, simply the need to share in eachother's lives. Very masterfully handled.

I also found her description of the water scenes and the SEAL missions to be vivid and exciting. Personally for me the low point of the book was towards the end concerning Charles, but this was resolved quickly and we were treated to another well-written situation.

Great book! Highly recommended.

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.
