'To escape the Nazis, she would be come a Nazi spy.'

This is a new to me author (I love going in blind to a book and discovering the author's voice along the way) and I am so excited to see what else of hers I can get my hands on. The writing in this book was descriptive and immersive.

I am a huge fan of WWII books. They are intriguing, insightful, heart wrenching and usually un-put-down-able for me and this one was no different. There is a suspense and mystery to a group of people working as double agents (while trying to prevent triple agents) and knowing who to trust and who you can really count on.

The romance was slow and steady. Trust needs to be built and it was a beautiful journey. I loved seeing Cilla's heart and the good that she wanted to do while also seeing Lachlan's protective side and because of reasons you'll read in the book...slow to trust.

This book really is a full blown experience. I was glad it was a longer book because I couldn't get enough. I loved the light banter Cilla could produce to those around her and set them at ease.

'She batted her eyelashes at him. He only arched an eyebrow at her. Cilla laughed. "Oh, just wait. Someday you'll like me. Everyone does."'

This book will make you feel all of the feels!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Content/Trigger: Military suspense/violence, death of friends/loved ones (some on page-mildly descriptive), romance-kisses only.
