Possibly Not Recommend

I admit, the cover is half the reason I wanted to read this book :)

I also have liked Kristy Cambron in the past though and thought this would be a good pick.

I was a bit disappointed for a couple of reasons...

There were a few instances of the Lord's name taken in vain {Language} and also, a good portion of the book revolved around women who became mistresses to German soldiers during the war {Subject Matter}.  It's not looked upon as a good thing and it does show some consequences, but still...

This is also a time period shifting book.  There's only a 4.5 year difference in the periods and that almost made it a little more confusing.  There are 2 different women the story focuses on so you are basically going between 4 stories...Woman A/Time Period A, Woman B/Time Period B, Woman A/Time Period B, Woman B/Time Period A.  I like the way the past catches up to the present and how the story forms but it was kind of frustrating every time I started a new chapter and had to try and remember what happened to that woman in that time period the last time I saw her.

Anyway, good story, good characters...I just wish those couple of things weren't present so I could give this a 4 star review and feel comfortable recommending it.
