BOOK REVIEW- DANGER SHADOWS BY Dee Henderson

Danger in the Shadows (O'Malley Book 0) by [Henderson, Dee]
Sara is terrified. She's doing the one thing she cannot afford to do: fall in love with former pro-football player Adam Black, a man everyone knows. Sara's been hidden away in the witness protection program, her safety dependent on staying invisible—and loving Adam could get her killed! 

Introducing the O'Malleys, an inspirational group of seven, all abandoned or orphaned as teens, who have made the choice to become a loyal and committed family. They have chosen their own surname, O'Malley, and have stood by each other through moments of joy and heartache. Their stories are told in CBA best-selling, inspirational romantic suspense novels that rock your heart and restore strength and hope to your spirit.   AMAZON  5 STARS

I loved it.  It was emotional and intense with great main characters. 
 Sara has been through a beyond horrible experience as a young child. The one that caused it is still around, hiding in the shadows, taunting everyone.  He thinks he is untouchable and its been a lot of years that Sara has had to run.  That was only part of the trauma that she has been dealing with.  You can feel how much she wants this to be over and wondering if it ever will.  She wants a normal life but is afraid to let "normal" people into her life.  She doesn't want to put anyone else in danger.  She feels bad enough that it has also consumed her brother Dave's life as well.  She is glad that he is there to protect her and help her through the nightmares but she worries that he will never have a normal life either.  Dave is in the FBI and she is his only assignment.  
I have read quite a few stories in this series and liked/loved every one of them.  I had already read The Negotiator and had been introduced to Dave there.  But because I read them out of order, I didn't really know much about Dave's past in depth .  I enjoyed his part in this one. 
Adam Black was also a really good character; he was relate-able. He was so much more than a just a former sports jock. He was there for Sara as much as he could be even when she made it hard to be.  He was out of his deepth and he knew it.  But time after time he shows up to try to help.   

Is faith going to be part of this story? Well yes, but what I also like about this writer is that her stories are good.  Sorry to say, that in some books by other authors sometimes the part about God is good but  the story is weak.  I haven't found that to be the case with this author.
