FBI agent Luke Falcon met Caroline at the wedding of his cousin Mark to her sister Sharon. They are immediately attracted to one another and start dating; but he won't let her get beyond a certain point. After a year of the same situation, Caroline is ready to call it quits but before she has a chance to talk to her reluctant beau, Sharon and Mark and their son Benjamin disappear. As the hours pass, they are not heard from so Luke calls in the FBI treating it like a kidnapping case.

Mark is found in his car, injured and semi conscious. Bloodhounds find Ben hiding in the nearby woods. Sharon is held for several million dollar ransom but something goes wrong and the exchange is never made. While they are negotiating for another exchange, Caroline trades herself for her sister and Luke pulls out all the stops save the woman he now realizes he loves beyond measure.

TRUE COURAGE is a fantastic romantic suspense novel about a family whose faith and love for one another gives them the courage to get the job done. None of the characters that are injured and kidnapped fall to pieces but find the strength within themselves to keep on fighting for the freedom of the ones they love. One of the kidnappers is Luke's old enemy but the mastermind is someone who knows Mark and his family, their finances, their movements and their priorities. Finding out the identity of that person is will end the nightmare the family has been living under for over a week. Dee Henderson is a wonderful writer who pens an action packed thriller with heart.

This story line is one of reality and suspence but at the same time does not let go of spiritualy and romance. I couldn't put the book down. Let's face it. There are a whole lot of romance/suspence Christian book writers out there but none like Dee Henderson.... She can out do them all!

Henderson amazes me again!!!!! She creates a stunning portrayal of the suspense and terror in the life of an FBI agent. She is an amazing author and receives two thumbs up.

I've read all four books in this series and True Courage is the best. My attention was caught almost immediately and, unlike the others, the suspence kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next. All the books in the series are good but I like this one best.

When they first met at a wedding, the sparks flew almost immediately. But Luke's career demands always seemed to take priority over her...until she became entangled in his most important investigation. "True Courage" is a novel that begins well and consistently builds in suspense throughout the story to the thrilling conclusion. The conflicts engage the reader because they are true to life. The characters are detailed and the environment created by Dee Henderson is easy to see with the mind's eye. I would recommend this to fans of Christian fiction, romance, suspense or crime drama.

Dee Henderson's books usually have a tight plot and characters who draw in a reader. This book's characters were surprisingly two-dimensional and the plot moved in fits and starts. Her other Uncommon Heroes books have more riveting plots and characters. I highly recommend her other books - she's one of the best writers of faith that I have run into - but this one is just not up to the same quality.

True Courage is a different from the other books in this series because it does not involve a member of the SEAL team. It is not a different writing style just a different situation that test a person's soul and convictions.

It is hard to imagine what I would do if I were in these people's shoes. I don't know if I would have the courage or fortitude that they show. I enjoy Dee Henderson's writing because you feel what the characters feel and yet remain separated from the situation. Call Sign: Wrecking Crew (Storm Warning)
