A sweet love story that takes place during war and through a few countries with the two lovers from different "cultures," and how to overcome all of these very large obstacles! Lady Ashford wants to see what is beyond her upbringing and leaves her cozy family home to help in the war effort while her brother's best friend came from nothing and has become a respected surgeon, but wants to help in his own way with the war effort as well. Their paths cross a few times, but will it end positively?

I liked this debut novel very much. I thought the author captured the attitudes and atmosphere of the WW1 era very well. Too many romances have 21st century heroines in early 20th century clothes, but this novel feels authentic and agrees with experiences I know of from my own family's stories. Kudos to this author for doing her homework -- and it's a terrific romance as well. Highly recommended.
This book held my attention from the beginning. The main characters are very easy to like. I was compelled to follow their story. Lilly character grows from an innocent, silver spooned girl to a fierce,brave and loyal woman that is madly in love with Edward. Edward grows from a shy college boy into a heroic surgeon and desperately tries to protect Lilly in the battle fields of France.
I love how London and Paris are described during this time and I found myself looking things up and learning a little more about WWI.
If you love romance, heroines, and historical fiction then you will love this book.
