Summary: Enthralling Romantic Fiction
Review: 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.

Summary: Not Your Garden Variety Book
Review: SEALs meeting the CIA - there's a combination I wouldn't have expected, but it works. People with untraditional jobs gravitate to people with untradtional jobs.

Henderson provided some new ways to look at both 9/11 and action/romance. She deals with the emotions and the actions following that time in a sentive and truthful manner.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I love all of Dee Henderson's books. I really wish though in this series that we would get to see more of the other characters from past books. Like in this one he would have been nice to at least mention Bruce and Grace. I always feel disappointed in series if I don't get to see a bit of old characters. The stop to see Kelly and Joe's baby really fit that ticket, now just add the others:) But the book is absorping and a can't put it down and go to sleep even if I have to get up tomorrow at 6 AM type of book!
