Customer Reviews

WWll Romance

Escape from Amsterdam by Lauralee Bliss is the seventh book in the multi-author Heroines of WWll series. Helen Smit gets her teaching degree during the occupation of the Netherlands. Protecting Jewish children becomes her number one priority with the help of Erik Misman. This was a very up-lifting story. Helen’s love and protection for the children was very sweet. If you enjoy WWll stories with danger, a little romance and small children, then this is the book for you. I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.

Save the Children

4 stars, Save the Children ESCAPE FROM AMSTERDAM (Heroines of WWII #7) by Lauralee Bliss I like how this series the Heroines of WWII captures the bravery of women as they fight to save all that is right and true, including in this novel, saving the children that have been affected by the Nazi machine. Thankfully, the Nazis didn't win in the end, but they did cause untold suffering to a great many innocents. This is the love story of Helen and Erik, as they struggle to be teachers in Amsterdam and rescue children who have been caught in the middle. Highly recommend. I thankfully received a complimentary copy of #escapefromamsterdam #heroinesofWWII from #barbourpublising I was under no obligation to post a review. #ww2 #WWII #survival #escape
