Ratings and reviews

This book is well written, top class, high quality, well researched. This book must have taken the writer a lot of time to write & research. Im sure it was a Labour of love. It was one of the best books I ever read. The characters had amazing personalities & as a reader I got to know them intimately against the background of war with all the danger. So worth reading!!! I do not always rate a book but this book deserved a rating.

It was hard to follow. I felt like it needed more details about what a flight nurse even was and why it was significant. I really liked Mellie and Tom. They clicked.

I hated to put this down! Just a wonderful romance, Christian, heart-warming. I kept wanting the characters to meet, and just loved the way it ended! So cute!
