Behind Enemy Lines

She had a life and death decision to make . . .Air Force Captain Annie O'Donnell found herself involved in a dangerous military mission that required her to fly into a war zone to retrieve an elite group of Special Operations personnel. She is unprepared when a warning signal suddenly goes off signaling that the enemy below had engaged missile lock on her aircraft. To stay put and allow the last team member enough time to access the helicopter would mean certain death for all members involved. She makes the painful decision to put the aircraft into motion and sacrifice the life of the lone soldier who was helplessly suspended underneath her helicopter. Racked with guilt and indecision, she silently prays for his death to be quick and painless. Grimly one of the special operations leaders provides a name to the faceless individual -Major Thomas Folly.Her touch made him want to continue living . . . Major Thomas Folly was a prisoner in a dark mass that had consumed his body. The only sensation he was acutely aware of feeling was agonizing pain. Somewhere far away, a soothing voice willed him to live. He knew the soothing hand that caressed his brow must surely belong to an angel. If he willed his eyes to open, would he find that he had died and gone to Heaven?Watch out SuzAnne Brockmann, be warned Lindsey McKenna, newcomer Cindy Dees is on the block and is already commanding attention. It has been years since I felt such a strong sensation about a new voice in the romance industry. With Cindy Dees military background, she has all the ammunition to write one explosive novel. This new author is not to be missed, I predict she will take the romance genre by a tremendous storm!

Fantastic story from start to finish! What a way to begin a writing career.Helicopter pilot Annie O'Donnell made a split-second decision that put a life at risk or endangered her whole crew and passengers.I could feel the hits the hanging body was taking as he swung through the trees. Although I wasn't quite clear how she got the assignment of taking care of the wounded and broken Major, I had to applaud her devotedness to helping to save the man.Major Thomas Folly was badly wounded and just barely alive, trapped in hostile territory with his men and needed a way out.His men, Dutch, Doc, Tex, Mac and Howdy showed up to check on him like illusions of shadows until he, Hoss was out of the hospital and into further recuperation.My only complaint is why do the ladies, and I use the term loosely, have to be such tramps. Does all it takes is a guy to just look at them and they let themselves be seduced? Isn't there one woman out there with enough guts to bring a man to his knees without giving in until he has definitely commited his very soul to her. Why preview the marriage bed? Boring, everyone is doing it. Will definitely be looking forward to her next book and hope the woman will have more self-confidence and enough humor to put the guy in his place until she decides to let him marry her.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --M - This is one book you will want to keep!

I read this book in 4 hours. My eyes were moving at the speed of light soaking up the story of Helicopter pilot Annie O'Donnell and Special Forces Major Tom Folly. This book is full of action from start to finish. The author has drawn on her own experiences in the military to give this book a well developed sense of realism. If her first book is this good I will be anxiously waiting for her next book. Way to go Cindy Dees!

Do NOT miss this series if you love military romance!!! Cindy Dees is on the fast track to stardom with her first SIM, BEHIND ENEMY LINES. Capt. Annie O'Donnell is the type of heroine we've been screaming for - tough, strong and SMART enough to give as good as she gets. Maj. Tom Folly is the leader of his Spec. Ops team and is seriously injured while escaping enemy forces. The interaction between these two characters is tender yet strong - caring and compassionate while at the same time neither lose their edge in their attempt to evacuate during a foreign revolution. And the other members of Folly's team are all worthy of stories of their own. I do hope we see many more adventures from Ms. Dees.

What a great book! Cindy Dees has taken her personal experience as an Air Force pilot and applied it BIG TIME to this book. Air Force Captain Annie O'Donnell is smart, savvy - definitely not TSTL! Special Forces Major Thomas Folly and his team have to work with Annie to escape a revolution. And what a team - five other members that are just screaming out for their own stories to be told. I predict we will be seeing a lot more of Cindy Dees - she is definitely a rising star!
