Mistletoe and the Major

A tasty little morsel that left me satisfied.

Anna Campbell has again given me a sweet little treat to satisfy my historical romance addiction. In Mistletoe and the Major, we are introduced to a young couple that has been separated for nearly 8 years after only two weeks of marriage. Considering the year and how things were done back then, they were practically strangers. Two weeks was hardly enough time for them to know each other, let alone establish trust and communication. Neither knew that it was love at first sight and the 8 years apart nearly destroyed them.

I enjoyed taking a look into the life of a dedicated man serving his country. You can't help but compare it to our servicemen of today. Yes, the times served can be long and painful, but if I'm not wrong, there are quicker and more effective ways to communicate with loved ones. I can't imagine being unable to see my husband for 8 years and only receiving letters that really don't tell the full story. I think he too would try to make it seem better than what it really is.

Another awesome step back in time that made me smile, blush, smirk and sigh. I love Anna Campbell's ability to leave me satisfied with her short tales. I can't wait for more.
