In a time of war, sometimes battles take place in the heart.
Tess Beaumont is tired of being thought of as just a pretty face. Eager to do her part for the war effort, she joins the Navy's newly established WAVES program for women. Perhaps there she can convince people that there is more to her than meets the eye.
Lt. Dan Avery has been using his skills in the fight against German U-boats and hoping to make admiral. The last thing he wants to see on his radar is a girl like Tess. Convinced that romance will interfere with his goals, Dan is determined to stay the course, no matter how intriguing a distraction Tess is.
But love, like war, is unpredictable. When Dan is shipped out at the peak of the Battle of the Atlantic, he finds himself torn between his lifelong career goals and his desire to help the beguiling Tess root out a possible spy on shore. Could this fun-loving glamour girl really be the one?
Quintessa Beaumont has had a crush on Lt. Dan Avery for a while. Thank goodness she's joining the WAVES program and will get out of Boston. That is until she gets station in Boston, working with him!
Lt. Dan Avery has always avoided women, or anything fun for that matter. But after several things in his life changes he's struck with a new thought. Wouldn't the right woman help him?
I loved the aspect of this book of how they tried to avoid each other and it just wasn't working. How she was outgoing and loved to laugh. Tess helped Dan realize life can and should be fun. To enjoy your journey, while he helped keep her feet planted in reality and to think about her actions. They worked together wonderfully. Especially with a spy on the loose!
I was so sad this was the last book in the series. I wasn't ready to let the characters go. I loved how there was a mystery in each of these books that kept you wondering who was all involved.
