This book is part of a series that includes two other books: On the Wings of Devotion and A Portrait of Loyalty. As far as I can tell, I've never read anything by this author, but her name seems familiar. I "borrowed" this book using my Amazon Prime account.
Margot lives with her mother and works at the Old Admiralty Building. She breaks German codes and listens to God through numbers.
Drake is working undercover and keeping that fact from his family as long as he can. He meets Margot when his sister gets a job at the same place, and he's immediately intrigued by her beauty and sense of humor.
This book is set during the Great War, and I found it interesting even though it isn't a time period I get to read a lot. The historical elements are tucked in there neatly, so you're not wading through paragraphs of technical nonsense. It was well done, and I appreciated that.
There's a crossover with a book from another series. Margot is the brother of Lukas, one of the main characters in A Song Unheard (Shadows Over England #2). Lukas and Willa show up in this book, but I didn't feel lost not reading the other book. The next book in the series revolves around Phillip, a minor character. I liked the writing and the characters. I'd be be happy to read more from this author. Good Book!
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!
