Wow! I loved this book. It kept me biting my nails almost to the last page. This is Sarah Sundin's debut novel. I can't wait to read her upcoming titles. Don't miss this historical romance set during World War II.
I do like WWII era stories. Lots of conflict to drive the story. Thanks for the review and have a great week.

Hi Jen -
ReplyDeleteIf you like tension and lots of twists and turns, this is the book for you.
There were a few times when I wanted to shake the characters and point them in the right direction. LOL! You know a writer is good when they can get you that emotionally involved.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Susan:
ReplyDeleteI like stories where there is a good relationship building. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi Quiet Spirit -
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I like how you described it as "relationship building." Sarah did an excellent job of showing the gradual development of the characters both in relation to personal growth and romantic involvement.
Blessings,
