This is the third and final book in the series. The first two were Through Waters Deep and
Anchor in the Storm.
Tess wants to be useful.
When her job at the department store doesn’t pan out the way she’d
originally planned, she decides to join the WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary
Emergency Service). She doesn’t want to
hear one more person tell her she’s beautiful.
She’s had a crush on Dan for a while, but she knows how he feels about
women.
Dan is serious about his career in the Navy. Last time he let a woman into his life, she
threatened his career, and he’s determined not to let that happen again. He’ll “stay the course” as his mentor has
urged him to do. He wants to be at sea,
but he’s stuck in Boston for a time, and discovering Quintessa will be working
alongside him is an unwelcome distraction.
As time goes by, a little of his brusque attitude leaves him,
and he helps Tess discover that she’s more than a pretty face. She enjoys her work with the WAVES, but she’s
also working with the FBI to discover spies in a group of French. Dan and Tess balance each other’s
personalities, but they don’t see how it could work.
I always find myself a little disappointed when these books
don’t tell me what happened after the war ended. This book ends in a natural way, with Tess
and Dan together, but there’s just something about me that wants to know
everyone made it through the war okay. I
know the characters are fictional, but Sundin does a great job breathing enough
life in them, I wish I knew what happened!
This book was a nice read, and I liked how both Tess and Dan
had to change their attitudes for their relationship to work. The romantic balance was well done, and I
appreciate that in a book set during a war.
Even when Dan and Tess are separated, it’s not for long and they pop up
in each other’s thoughts. I love the way
the author weaves little historical details throughout her books. Good Book!

NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
