The Protector (#04 in O'Malley Series)

Action, faith, love, family - this book has it all. The intrigue and action is gripping (as Dee Henderson is so famous for) but it's the family aspect of it which pulled me in and held me there. I love this O'Malley family and the way they're there for each other no matter what. The characters and storyline are so well developed - one of those books which is almost impossible to put down. Jack was a fascinating character, fierce in his determination to protect his family and those he cares about, even at the cost of himself. What's not to love about a man like that? Would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense, family and a beautiful romance.

WOW!! Another fantastic addition to the O'Malley series!! What a novel! I really really REALLY enjoyed it!!\\r\\nJack and Cassie's journey was one that I was really privileged to go on. It was enjoyably fast-paced and kept me turning the pages all day! Jack and Cassie are such a good pair and Henderson really developed their character and relationship well. I have to say that this is one of my favourite novels I've read this year and considering I go through about 300 novels a year; a great novel!! It challenges the reader in the aspects of faith and who God is. Whether you believe in God or not, this novel will definitely make you think, and it faces the issue of who God is with different and unique perspectives. \\r\\nOne part that I really enjoyed about the novel were the firefighter elements! It was super exciting to see inside the life of a firefighter. I've always admired firefighters, but even more so after reading this novel! Fell in love with the whole novel from the setting to the characters!! Great to also see Rachel and Cole's relationship start and progress. Now on to their story in 'The Healer'!!\\r\\nI would really highly recommend this novel!! A must read for all!!

Through this series it is great to shift to a completely different setting while maintaining relationships with the characters in the previous novels. The Protector brings you to the fire hall quite a bit. Jack is an endearing and admirable character. A dangerous arsonist is lighting fires all around him bringing elements of suspense and mystery to this not-so-typical christian romance.

The Protector is the fourth of six books (not including the prequel Danger in the Shadows) in the O'Malley series by Dee Henderson. \\r\\n\\r\\nJack O'Malley is an easy-going firefighter who is close on the heels of a serial arsonist. Cassie Ellis, a fire-fighter who is out of action, unknowingly witnesses the arsonist at the scene of one fire, eating popcorn. With Cassie in danger, the two team up to try and solve the case before it's too late. \\r\\n\\r\\nSuspense, romance and drama are closely woven together to form yet another compelling novel in the O'Malley series. Fans of the series won't be disappointed in this fourth installment, but it is great as a stand alone novel as well. \\r\\n
