Penny is guarding a broken heart, but Alex gives her hope. He's a pilot and will be heading back to war once he's recovered from a crash, but Penny decides she's going to write to him. Letters go back and forth, and their feelings grow. Later, a tragedy occurs and their relationship is threatened, but Penny refuses to give up. But will Alex open his heart to her again?
In this book, we're reading about a few different things. War has pushed some of the family away from London, and the main characters from the first two books come together and everyone's at Highland Hall. Add in the budding romance between one of the staff and a German internment camp prisoner, and there's a lot to keep track of. I was worried there was going to be too much going on, but I had no issues.
I give the author credit, this book was even better than I was expecting. Separating the main characters in a romance is a pet peeve of mine, but this was well done. It wasn't for the whole book, and when they were separated, they were still connected in other ways (thoughts, letters, etc.). The end was also well done. It wasn't rushed and everything was wrapped up in a neat little bow. You can read these out of order, but there are little gems in there if you've read the other two. You'll read the continuation of William and Julia's story, and also Jon and Kate's.
It had been a while since I'd read the first two, so I was a little lost at the beginning, but I was back up to speed pretty quickly. The cast of characters at the beginning was helpful, and I referenced it a few times. I have to say, out of the three, this one was my favorite. Great Book!
