World 1: Brussels, with the German arm breathing down on Isa and Edward as they fight for all that is right and true against the tyranny of the war.

I was there. I felt the hatred and tasted the fear. I could sense the urgency and see the anxiety racing through the characters.

This book was a great work of fiction and I loved the read. It wasn’t all action and that is what I think I loved the most about it. I was involved in the characters, their love story and connection- or their refusal to except it. The love between Isa and Edward is strong and filled with tension, but it was the love story between Major and Genny that captured me the most. I could see their attraction to each other and the growing love, but will they ever conquer the obstacles surrounding them?

The ending was thrilling and kept me turning pages, anxious to know how this was going to turn out!

More like 4 ½ stars, this book is filled with dimensional characters and a setting that took over the book and filled my head with a great story. One I recommend to all those who love great historical fiction.

Thanks to the publishers through FIRST for my copy to review. This review is my honest opinion.
