Daughter of the Reich: A Novel
by Louise Fein
Daughter of the Reich (3/25/2020)
Another great historical book. I am totally falling for historical romance books. Hetty was a good daughter of a high ranking Nazi officer. She plays the part, exactly as was suspected she would. She did until she meets Walter. A secret love affair them begins. The book takes you they there love story, both trials and tribulations. Take the time to read and enjoy!!!!
The Prisoner's Wife
by Maggie Brookes
The Prisoner's Wife (2/25/2020)
In The Prisoner's Wife, Izabel falls deeply in love with Bill, a POW in a WWII prison camp. Izabel and Bill plot to get Bill out of the prison camp and get married. The two begin a multi day escape from the Czech farm and POW camp. For the escape, Izzy transforms herself, via hair and clothes, into a boy to make traveling easier while on the run. After many days of night travel and day sleeping, the two are captured and the story really begins. Based on a story told to the author, Izzy and Bill are taken to another POW camp where the fellow prisoners help to keep her secret hidden.

I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did. I enjoyed reading the story from Izzy's point of view. I could not stop turning pages. I was captivated by the history story and the historical story that it told about the conditions the POWs lived in. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves historical fiction.
