The Protector [Large Print] (Paperback)

Unfortunately, after reading the first Dee Henderson book, I felt I had read them all. In all the books, the main character gets in a suspenseful circumstance, the bad guy is caught, and the good person marries the person he/she has learned to love. Of course all the characters are portrayed as perfect, or nearly so. Another common thread in all the books is the main character's acceptance of Christ.

However, I enjoyed reading the suspense. In this book, Jack, a firefighter, gets himself into many dangerous situations the job requires of him. The firefighters and police are tracking a dangerous arsonist, who paints violent murals and puts popcorn kernels inside the doomed buildings before he burns them. He burns the buildings in a random pattern, as well.

If you like reading Christian suspense and some decent romance, you should read this book.

Cassie Ellis had been a firefighter until she was hurt during a rescue operation. He faith in Jesus got her through the trauma of being severely burned. When she saw the arsonist, she became the obvious person to work the crowds at the fires in hopes of spotting him.

Jack and Cassie become closer than they ever had before. Jack began helping Cassie's thoughts of her scars. Cassie began helping Jack believe.

***** A riveting addition to the series! Each book of the O'Malley series is a story in itself. Each book tells the story of one of the unique O'Malley family. This novel, like all the ones before, are full of action, suspense, and a touch of Faith. Dee Henderson's magical pen combines the allure of Thrillers, Romances, and Christian books to make one of the best series I have ever read! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is the story of Jack and Cassie, 2 firefighters involved in an arson investigation. The characters are warm, funny and endearing and the plot is fast-paced and entertaining. Jack and Cassie must catch an arsonist before the fires being set get out of control. They must also deal with personal challenges (Jack's ill sister and Cassie's extensive injuries) as well as a growing attraction to each other along the way.

Dee Henderson is an invigorating breath of fresh air in Christian writing. Her characters are fascinating: forensic scientists, fighter pilots, CIA agents, ect. Her books are unique to Christian fiction in the sense that they are full of adventure and suspense. I have yet to be disappointed by any of her works and am eagerly awaiting her next release.
