"This gets a "Really Liked It" rating because I read it very quickly, which must indicate that it was worth my time. I think, more than anything, I enjoyed peering through the window into military life. The story moved quickly and the characters were developed well enough to be believable."
— Amy (4 out of 5 stars)
“Henderson’s writing is the envy of a lot of evangelical writers for its gritty and convincing detail.”
— Booklist" Another great book by Dee Henderson! Though I liked the first book in the series better...it was only because this one was a little more intense during the war/aerial/rescue scenes. I found myself really having to focus to picture the imagines. Gracie and Bruce are wonderful characters and I enjoyed how Wolf (from True Devotion) was a secondary characer in this one, along with involvement from Bear and Cougar. Looking forward to the next one! "
— Sara, 2/7/2014" A good book with great insight into the US armed forces which is so different to what I know. I liked the fact that both characters had a strong faith and how that carried them through the good and tough times. "

— Melstitcher, 1/2/2014" I think this was the first Dee Henderson book I read, replete with military, romance, and suspense. The book had my attention the whole way through, and the ending, as is common in my experience, was a very satisfying culmination of a love story. "
