The Truthseeker by Dee Henderson (book 3, O'Malley series)

Once again Henderson writes a phenomenal book about the O'Malley clan. This book is about forensic pathologist Lisa O'Malley and U.S. Marshall Quinn Diamond. I swear Henderson has a way of making the men in her books so real that you can picture meeting a man like this. Quinn is strong, quiet, smart and hardworking - a man any woman would want. Lisa is a workaholic who loves the job she does and the youngest of the O'Malley's. I think their love story and their growing faith is what makes this story my favorite so far (that and the fact she reminds me of the tv show BONES). Quinn is also Marcus' partner which makes the story even more interesting in how Quinn courts Lisa and their love grows while under the surveillance of Marcus. All her stories touch your heart and soul but something about their love, really touched mine. Lisa's struggle with her faith because of her past makes you see things from a different perspective and the reasoning of the Resurrection and how it's explained by Henderson is very enlightening.

5 out of 5 stars!! MUST read!

The Guardian by Dee Henderson (Book 2, O'Malley series)

The more I get to know the O'Malley characters/family, the more I love them. This book was wonderful! Shari and Marcus are perfect for each other and their instant attraction and love shine through each page. An interesting pairing because Shari is a politician and Marcus O'Malley is a U.S. Marshall. This story is wild but plausible and the love and faith they share and that develops is wonderful to read about. I fall in love with the O'Malley clan every time I read another one of their stories. I love reading books where the characters feel real and Henderson delivers every time. I highly recommend this series to anyone who has strong faith, weak faith or looking for their faith.
5 out of 5 stars for sure!!!!!

True Devotion by Dee Henderson

As a military wife, I loved this book. It brought mixed emotions and made me really think hard about the life that I happily live with my wonderful husband. Kelly is a wonderful herione and is a true example of what a military wife is and should be. Joe is a great man and a true friend to Kelly and is a wonderful example of what a military man is. The story revolves around these two falling love after being friends for years. He's a Navy SEAL and she's a woman who loves him and who has already lost the love of her life, Nick, who was a Navy SEAL also. Some parts were heartwrenching, other parts were happy and lovey, and others just made me mad because that's how Henderson writes her books. Her books always seem to draw out all your emotions and it's easy to relate to her characters. Military spouses should read this book (#1 in a her Uncommon Heroes series). I read it in one day (by accident ;) because it was so good I couldn't put it down. It's a inspirational book as are most of Henderson's books. Worth the read and time.
5 out 5 stars!
