Now onto my review:

My review:



This book was soooo slow in the beginning that I almost DNF. Stress almost. But once I got past the first couple of chapters, the book started to pick up steam and move along nicely.

I loved the historical aspect of this book and the fact that it was written in the World War 1 time period. Just reading the book took me back to that era. The author did a wonderful job creating that world. I could picture the bombs going off, air raid sirens going off, hearing the battlefield in my ears….with the moans and groans of injured patients.

I did have an issue with the romance part of the book. I want my romance from that period to be sweet and innocent. This one was twardy and it was almost dirty. I know people can’t help who they fall in love with but I really wished that the author chose a different road for her characters. I mean, cheating on your spouse isn’t cool, and I felt for Charles in that scene and in the scene where he let his wife go to be with the one she wanted. I was so sad about that.

The ending was what I expected because I knew that the star crossed lovers would be together.

How many stars will I give Clementine and Claudia: 3

Why: A wonderfully written, vivid historical piece that written as a historical romance. For me, the romance fell flat and like I said in my review, was twardy and almost dirty.

Will I reread? Maybe

Will I reccomend to family and friends? Maybe

Age Range: Teen

Why: Sexual situations (but never gotten into detail) and description of wartime violence (including an amputation of a leg).
