About
You may enjoy this if you want a WWII-set romance with a dash of espionage and some later thrills; Not for you if you expect constant action or a sharp war-adventure like Force 10 from Navarone.
Pros: romantic wartime atmosphere; strong lead pairing; late-story tension | Cons: uneven romance writing; light on action; forgettable for some
