Waaaay too romancy for my taste. Good story other than that though.

Out of the 14 recommendations, I had already read 2 and finished 3 more this month. Given my love of historical fiction, I was surprised this one wasn't on my list yet so thank you for another solid suggestion.
A good debut but lacking the depth that I've seen in stronger works of historical fiction.
Book 2/14 for #14books14weeks2021
Starting this one while watching baseball and sipping wine. ''Tis a good evening indeed....🤓
3.5⭐ - I really liked this book. Not so much due to the Historical Fiction aspect of it, because that wasn't the focus, but the backdrop. The romance and other circumstances surrounding the protagonist just kept drawing me in! I really loved how she responded to adversity and trials - {{{more review in comments}}}
I just want to sit and read... It's gotten to the point that I'm thinking of this book throughout the day... Wondering how everything will develop and where the storyline will take the characters. With the uncertainty of war as a backdrop to this love story, I'm enamored over this book.
Side note - does anyone get the pretzel reference? Know where it came from? 🥨
Staying away from all the chaos that goes along with the city of Las Vegas this New Year's Eve and am tucked in bed reading my book. Unfortunately my arms are really tired from holding this book open... It's getting good, though, so I need to suffer through it, I think! 🙂
Man, I have the hardest time reading mass paperbacks. The font is so small and the binding is so tight! My wrists get sore just trying to hold the book open.... I'm enjoying this book so far, though! Though I should have paid attention to what I was buying (online) and noticed it was a mass paperback version. 😥
With the exception of a cheesy love screen, this was a pretty good book!
@Laughterhp , it arrived today! Thank you again for your #giveaway ...I‘m going to enjoy reading this!
Starting a new book this morning!
An easy read about a spirited young lady who joins the WWI efforts as an ambulance driver. Warning - the lovemaking scene is horribly cheesy. #mountTBRchallenge
A nice historical fiction/romance novel. A bit predictable, but lovely storytelling makes it worth reading. And it sheds light on the sacrifices made by so many young people during World War I.
Excellent book. Couldn't put it down and this is book 1 of a series. Interesting story about wartime.
Wow, this book was so great! It's about Lilly who all she wants to do is help out with World War I and be an ambulance driver. It has some romance in it as well. Such an engaging story that I couldn't put down! I read it in barely 2 days!
Finally getting to #somewhereinfrance on my #tbrlist #backlist #loveit
Wonderful book about a woman trying to gain her independence during a time that a woman's independence was frowned upon! Amazing book, about to dive into the second book!!
A very well-paced, compelling tale of love between classes in a fully realized WWI setting. Robson's depictions of the horrors of life as a field surgeon and an ambulance driver on the front are unflinching without crossing into gratuitous violence.
I am SUCH a Jennifer Robson fan. Excited my library hold finally came through.
