This book follows Cathy who has an abusive husband who is away due to the war.
When a telegram arrives declaring that her husband is missing in action, Cathy can finally allow herself to hope - she only has to wait 6 months before she is legally a widow and can move on with her life.
During this time she also meets Sergeant Archie McIntosh of the Royal Engineers' Bomb Disposal Squad. He is kind, clever and thoughtful; their mutual attraction is instant.
I found this book to be a quick and fun read. The writing style is great and so easy to get into. I loved all the characters, they each have a distinct personality.
It is however quite predictable, and I don’t love that the author just kills off the negative characters as a “solution”.
I’ve read two of the books in the series and they both ended this way.
Overall it’s a good read which is easy to get into but didn’t feel original in any way.
