Review & Giveaway: Hope Rising by Stacie Henrie


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/145559881X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=145559881X&linkCode=as2&tag=chrisbooksrev-20&linkId=FZ36G4UKQCI33FLZ
About the book:
In France at the height of World War I, American nurse Evelyn Gray is no stranger to suffering. She's helped save the life of many a soldier, but when she learns her betrothed has been killed, her own heart may be broken beyond repair. Summoning all her strength, Evelyn is determined to carry on-not just for herself and her country, but for her unborn child.  
Corporal Joel Campbell dreams of the day the war is over and he can return home and start a family. When a brutal battle injury puts that hope in jeopardy, Joel is lost to despair . . . until he meets Evelyn. Beautiful, compassionate, and in need of help, she makes an unconventional proposal that could save their lives-or ruin them irrevocably. Now, amidst the terror and turmoil of the Western Front, these two lost souls will have to put their faith in love to find the miracle they've been looking for.

My thoughts:

Another great addition to the "Of Love And War" series! All of the books take place around WWI, but unlike book one, this story was set in Europe. I really enjoyed being able to see things from that perspective.

The characters were nice. I think I liked Joel the best, but both of the main characters were good and had to go through a lot of suffering and growth. The secondary romance story (between Alice and Sergeant Dennis) was one of my favorite things about this book. I don't know what it was about their story, but I just loved it. ;)

Overall, Hope Rising was a really good historical romance. I recommend it if you like this genre.
