In Perfect Time (August 8th- 15th)
Two hearts are about to learn the rhythm of love Bold, sophisticated, and coy, Army Air Force flight nurse Lt. Kay Jobson collects hearts wherever she flies, leaving men pining in airfields all across Europe. So how can ruggedly handsome C-47 pilot Lt. Roger Cooper be all but immune to her considerable charms? In fact, he seems to do everything he can to avoid her.
Still, as they cross the skies between Italy and southern France, evacuating the wounded and delivering paratroopers and supplies, every beat of their hearts draws them closer. Can they overcome the fears and misunderstandings of the past in order to take hold of the future?
Sarah Sundin seamlessly weaves together emotion, action, and sweet romance into a tale that transcends time and calls us to believe in the power of love.
My Impressions:
I adore historical pieces and this little gem is based
around WWII. It is the third book in the Wings of Nightingale series and stands
on its own merits easily. This is also the first book I have read by Sarah
Sundin so I was not sure what to expect from her.
When we meet up with Kay and Roger they are both very broken
people trying to figure out life. Roger has had his heart ripped out by so many
women he is distrustful and skeptical of all women. Kay shows her brokenness by
conquering man after man to try and fill an emptiness and desire deep within
her she cannot place. When these two meet Kay is dumbfounded that Roger does
not appear to be interested in her at all, while Roger tries to side step Kay
in hopes of saving his heart. As the book progresses both are left with making
a choice to face their past demons or to keep running from them, decisions that
will affect both of them.
I adored the writing, the characters and the plot of this
wonderful story. Sarah writes with such vigor and detail that you feel immediately
drawn into and invested in the lives of the characters. Wonderful Christian
themes throughout the book that are gently inserted without sounding preachy so
even a secularist would enjoy this one, but still grasp that it all points back
to God’s grace and redemption.
I can recommend this book for adults only. Although it is
not a steamy book, I think Kate’s nonchalant behavior towards men and the way
she treats them and I feel that sets a bad president for teenage girls in
particular.
