TITLE: True Devotion
AUTHOR: Dee Henderson
PUBLISHER: Palisades Pure Romance
PUBLISHING DATE: July 2000
Book Description Kelly Jacobs watched with pride as her husband, Nick, triumphed in his demanding SEALs military training. When he dies on a mission three years later, she is wounded to the soul-yet copes with the determination of a SEAL's wife; bracing herself to keep going despite the loss. In return, Nick's comrades watch over Kelly as part of their family. Joe Baker had been leading the team when Nick was killed. He takes the loss especially hard: Nick had led him to Christ and was his best friend. When Nick dies, Joe suffers survivor's guilt. He takes care of Kelly and plans to find her a new husband. He figures he owes her that-he just hadn't counted on falling in love with her. As Kelly struggles to move on and Joe is torn between loyalty to Nick and love for Kelly, God provides surprising answers to their dilemmas and reveals the beauty of the truth that "a friend loves at all times." Review This is an extremely well written, character driven story. The main hero/heroine are very well developed. By the end of the book, you get to know "Bear" and Kelly so well you think of them as friends.
Dee Henderson has done an excellent job mixing romance with the fast-paced action of a Navy SEAL platoon. True Devotion captures the qualities of intrigue, suspense, and intimacy within the Seals. This book does have religion in it, of course, but it in no way takes away from the characters or storyline instead it adds a new demension to the story. You get action, intrigue, romance and inspiration that combines in a blend that is almost perfect. True Devotion is the first book in the Uncommon Heroes series of inspirational military romances.
