" This is my all time favorite book!!! Its is the author's version of the events that happened on September 11th. She actually wrote this book and then rewrote it with those events in mind. I love the characters and the love story! "

— Pat, 2/11/2014" This was entertaining, but a little unrealistic and sappy compared to some of her other books. "
— Shelley, 2/5/2014" I have only good things to say about this military themed series by Dee Henderson. This novel is the one that propelled me into voraciously reading everthing at our library with her name on it. "
— taramarie79, 2/4/2014" good clean thriller "
— Janet, 1/26/2014" While a good read, it's an easy read. The main male characters are too perfect. It's unrealistic. I do like how the characters are struggling, then find their comfort thru God's Word. "
— Allison, 1/12/2014" Enjoyed the entire series and would like to own them and reread some day. "
— faithful, 1/9/2014" I listened to this story on disc while I drove and couldn't wait to finish the story and had to bring it in to listen to it while I made dinner. I really love Dee Henderson's books! They always make me smile and remember how God works, how prayer works and how love always finds a way. Yay! "

— Amanda, 12/23/2013" I enjoy military books with action and romance and this one didn't disappoint. I give it 5 stars. :) "
— Arielle, 12/18/2013" This was my least favorite Dee Henderson book. 9-11 happened while she was writing it, and since the story is inspirational with military characters, there was no way she could avoid 9-11. I just didn't get to know these characters as well as usual, but I'm still a fan. "
— Sydney, 12/15/2013" yet another good book by Dee Henderson. "
— Jill, 12/12/2013" Dee henderson is the kind of writer that you truly enjoy or you just don't I have so far read nearly every book she has written and enjoyed every one! "

— Christina, 12/3/2013" Loved all the action and adventure in this book!!! "
— Christie, 9/3/2013" it's very militaristic. but she did her research. "
— Katy, 5/23/2013" It was very suspenseful. I took a lot out of it. For example that your are not responsible for what happens around the world. They are some really nice quotes that I would like to go back and get when I have time. "
— Daylet, 5/12/2013" This series is constantly on loan out with friends also. Once you read Dee you will be hooked!! "
— Kimberly, 4/22/2013" I really liked this series because for a romance series it was very clean which is so refreshing I am so tired of starting books in the romance genre only to put them down because the book is more about sex than just genuine romance and friendship. "
— Camille, 4/18/2013" This one was harder to get into, but it was just as intriguing. It made me think about what agents were doing following Sept. 11, 2001. Easy read, but very worth it. "
— Abby, 12/20/2012" Not as good as the first two books in the series, but still, overall, an enjoyable "thriller" read, with plenty of spies and duplicity. "
— Miss, 10/10/2012" A very exciting book about 9/11. It was very fun to read! I enjoyed it! "

— Tootles, 7/7/2012" My all time favorite author is Dee Henderson. If you are looking for a series that is action packed and faith based this is the author for you. Trust me. This is my favorite of this series. The fact that the CIA agent is a stranger to him is amazing. "

— Christy, 6/5/2012" Loved cougar! "
— Rachael, 5/3/2012" This book took me back to the days of Janette Oke. I haven't read Christian fiction like this in awhile and though are bits I found a little too warm and fuzzy for my taste (as expected), it is rather well done and of better quality than I initially expected. "
— Jessica, 3/22/2012" OK book, but can't believe that a woman in that position of responsibility would be so uncertain and tentative. "
— Linda, 2/18/2012" As I've said before I really enjoy reading her books. "
— Linda, 1/4/2012" I am reading as many of her books as I can get my hands on! I really enjoy all of them! I love the combo of romance and suspense! "
