Loved the book, very realistic and action packed but was disappointed that only a partial resolution-you to read the next installment in the series to see what happens.
Very enlightening, good historical drama.
Loved the fast action pace of the book – and what I initially thought was going to be a silly little romance turned into an action -packed Nazi fighting WWII story! Can’t wait to read the next one – that continues the storyline!

I didn’t finish the book. Endless life on the run with superficial characters and scenarios.
Unrealistic.
Light reading but keeps you tuned in to the characters. More in the series but not compelling enough to continue for me. The Heroine is a bit too predictable.
In spite of the serious subject, the author interjected a light-heartedness into the characters and situations that made the otherwise horrific events of those times bearable enough to continue reading. Outstanding, unpredictable story.
Loved this book
Page turner
Different Views from a tragic era
Predictable
Excellent book for presenting a time in history that should not be forgotten; sometimes parts go on too long but the reader does get invovled in the story.
I found the plot to be too unbelieveable, didn’t like the characters. A waste of time .
Wealthy newlyweds honeymooning in Europe stumble upon danger and intrigue. Suspend disbelief and enjoy this page-turner, knowing there are better and more believable novels presenting the time and place.
Adds to the understanding of the horrors of WW II Germany’s actions. Good read!
It was like an Indiana Jones movie
Enjoyed reading this very different historical fiction book.
My goodness I usually read non fiction but this was a great break What a fast paced read!
Good book, but have read better set in same time period.
Definitely worth the read.
Very exciting story. Would make a great movie.
