Undetected

Book description:  "When asked what he does for a living . . .
Commander Mark Bishop is deliberately low-key: "I'm in the Navy." But commanding the ballistic missile submarine USS Nevada, keeping her crew trained and alert during ninety-day submerged patrols, and being prepared to launch weapons on valid presidential orders, carries a burden of command like few other jobs in the military. Mark Bishop is a man who accepts that responsibility, and handles it well. And at a time when tensions are escalating around the Pacific Rim, the Navy is glad to have him.

Mark wants someone to come home to after sea patrols. The woman he has in mind is young, with a lovely smile, and very smart. She's a civilian, yet she understands the U.S. Navy culture. And he has a strong sense that life with her would never be boring. But she may be too deep in her work to see the potential in a relationship with him.

Gina Gray would love to be married. She has always envisioned her life that way. A breakup she didn't see coming, though, has her focusing all her attention on what she does best--ocean science research. She's on the cusp of a major breakthrough, and she needs Mark Bishop's perspective and help. Because what she told the Navy she's figured out is only the beginning. If she's right, submarine warfare is about to enter a new and dangerous chapter."

My review:  I loved this book!  This is the first of Dee Henderson's newest books that I have read.  I am so glad she is writing again!  This is a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat and quickly turning pages.  Even though there are some technical parts in the story, they are well explained and easy to understand.  Ms. Henderson also keeps you guessing when two guys enter the picture trying to win Gina's heart.  She writes in such a way that makes the reader cheer for both guys.  I actually hated to see one "lose".  Ms. Henderson makes her characters seem so real that the reader feels like they have become part their life.  That is one of the reasons I love her books so much.  She is a master story-teller!  I can't wait to read her next book.  I received a complimentary e-copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions are my own.
