I absolutely loved this book. Excellently written action mixed with beautiful love story.. It went right to the top 10, out of the thousands I've read.
The nail-biting action, war scenes that paints a picture so real, you feel like you are there. The story is told by her, his, and the enemy's point of views, and it keeps the hold of you till the end.
All the characters are actual and real, with weaknesses and strengths. They are charming and likable, the geniality and camaraderie of the soldiers is genuine.
The love story is heartbreaking, beautiful, and passionate. It had me in tears towards the end.
Outstanding story, I'm so happy it was just a book one in a series.
There is no cliffhanger ending, and it can be read as a stand alone.
Five stars.
