As an English reader, some disappointment with the research. 1. The shower in the offbase rental property .... showers not commonplace in England till the 70's. 2. Upper class English women didn't call anyone "love" 3. Snickers were called Marathon in England, it's true. But again... they weren't around till much later after the war...60s or 70s.

I've had a bad cold and needed something easy to read so I treated myself to this beautiful little romance number with a dual timeline, switching between WW2 and modern day. Oh my heart ❤️ Also, the sexy scenes were 🔥😉

I feel a bit spoilt getting two great stories in one. The plot twist really was the perfect ending for S&J.
