True Devotion
Kelly Jacobs has already paid the ultimate price of loving a warrior; she has the folded flag and the grateful thanks of a nation to prove it. Navy SEAL Joe "Bear" Baker can't ask her to accept that risk again—even though he loves her. But the man responsible for her husband's death is back; closer than either of them realize. Kelly is in danger, and Joe may not get there in time.
Uncommon Heroes: Welcome to a world where friendships go deep, loyalties stand strong, and uncommon heroes perform the toughest jobs in the world. Dee Henderson's military romance series provides a detailed passage into the world of the military and homeland heroes, and those they love.

3 stars. Read in 2002 and again in July 2012. I read this back in 2002 and then again in July 2012 when Amazon offered this for free. I read this a few months before I joined the Navy on January13,2003. I served 4 years, half the time as an undesignated Boatswain's Mate and the last half as a Gunners Mate E4. As far as religion and the military went, our ship's church was not that big. We had a small office work space as the "church" and one Chaplain for over 1,300 sailors. Also my ship was stationed in San Diego, Ca. It was nice being stationed just 2 hour drive (or Amtrak ride) from my family who lives in L.A. County. True Devotion was an ok read. It's the only one of Dee's that I read. I was more a big Suzanne Brookeman fan at the time. I was intrigued by the storyline and really liked Joe "Bear." But I felt Kelly is hard to like. She got on my nerves to much for me to like her. I ended up skipping past some pages that had a faith agenda.There are some Christian Lit that I don't mind. Joe and Kelly's faith starts of believable and a little nice to read in small dosages. But then it became redundant and too long of a descriptive. I felt that it took away from the story and that's why I now skip past the religious parts. Other than that, the storyline has a typical suspense mystery and a PG romance. I really felt that Debbie could have expanded more on Kelly and Joe's relationship because it feels rushed.
