Heartfelt Story

This is a tender story that pulls at your heart. I would like a sequel to find out what happens with Angelina & Alexander when they marry and continue their careers and family.

The bones of a good book are there poor execution

This has the skeleton of a multi book series. This lacks depth of character development but is very superficial. I also feel the title is misleading as the “front line” is mere crumb of the book. This book is vague in plot development as well. This reads like a summary of a book rather than a book itself. As a former military nurse I enjoy the action and character driven historical fiction surrounding war and nurses. This book fell way short of using history as a plot device to explore feelings.

Disappointing

I usually enjoy WWII and medical fiction but this book was trite, predictable, sappy and had next to no medical contact.
