About the book:
In a time of war,
sometimes battles take place in the heart.
Tess Beaumont is
tired of being thought of as just a pretty face. Eager to do her part for the
war effort, she joins the Navy’s newly established WAVES program for women.
Perhaps there she can convince people that there is more to her than meets the
eye.
Lt. Dan Avery has
been using his skills in the fight against German U-boats and hoping to make
admiral. The last thing he wants to see on his radar is a girl like Tess.
Convinced that romance will interfere with his goals, Dan is determined to stay
the course, no matter how intriguing a distraction Tess is.
But love, like
war, is unpredictable. When Dan is shipped out at the peak of the Battle of the
Atlantic, he finds himself torn between his lifelong career goals and his
desire to help the beguiling Tess root out a possibly spy on shore. Could this
fun-loving glamour girl really be the one?
My review:
This is a
stand-alone story within a series.
The two main
characters in this book have appeared in secondary roles in the previous books.
Also the main characters from the previous books make appearances in this one.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how life is progressing for all of these
characters.
We finally find
out what makes Quintessa “Tess” and Dan tick. We learn what events from their
past shaped them. They each have past memories that act as road blocks to
entering into a relationship. I really like seeing how they are trying to
figure out what God wants them to do.
The mystery
develops very naturally. Tess is very aware of others around her and the way
they act. When their behavior changes she notices. Most people are dealing with
heightened patriotic fervor which causes many clashes. Who is hiding sinister
motives?
I love the
passion for country that is displayed by many of the characters. I have never given the mixture of nationalities
represented within the United States and how they would clash during World War
II any thought before reading this series.
Sarah Sundin has
done a marvelous job of bringing this period of time in America to life for me.
I have to give this incredible book a rating of 5 stars. I am definitely highly
recommending it.
