Book Description
The wedding bells for Lorna and Tristan Blake toll doom right as the honeymoon begins with an unexpected turn in Tristan’s health. While World War II winds down, Lorna receives a letter from the War Department informing her that the brother she thought killed in action is still alive. She is overjoyed, but his return will dredge up a devastating secret about their parents’ tragic death –a secret that could destroy her new marriage and threaten her husband’s physical and mental well-being. What unfolds is balancing act of keeping the faith and shattering the pieces of the life she’s worked so hard to put back together.
My Review
Having read some brilliant reviews of the first book in this series I was looking forward to reading the second part. I had not read the first part of their story and I was a little concerned that I would find it hard to follow but that as not the case as you do get good recaps of what happened in book one. This book had me engrossed from the first page to the last and was one I could not put down. Lorna and Tristan Blake are excited to now be married and looking forward to the next chapter of their lives to begin.
Tristan is moving into Lorna's house which happens to be only next door to his home. The two of them are enjoying making room for him in the home they are now going to be sharing together and planning their future.
It is while moving that disaster strikes for the two of them when Tristan is rushed to hospital having had a major health scare. Lorna is worried that their future together could be cut a lot shorter that either go them planned.
World War 2 is still going on and Lorna was devastated when she found out that her brother had been killed in conflict and she has worn his tag ever since. Shock is in store for Lorna though as she receives some post to say her brother is still alive! Lorna is elated with this news as he is the only family that she has and it would be great to see him again.
Seeing her brother again will also cause a huge amount of problems as she will have to explain that she has now married Tristan and all of the secrets that they have between them. Lorna and Tristan have a lot to explain and will her brother be alright with the relationship or will there news they need to reveal to him tear them all apart?
I really enjoyed reading this book. As I said it is the second book in the series however I do think you can read it is a standalone read as you are given plenty of information from the first book to understand the relationship between the two of them. The writing style flows well within the book and I found it a great easy read. I liked getting to know both Lorna and Tristan. They both have a difficult past that they share and its is interesting to read how they have built their relationship together. It also makes you understand why they have kept it so secret and why Lorna is struggling with telling her brother.
This is a great read and one you will not be disappointed you purchased.
