She published four regency novels as Caroline Courtney, before changing her name to Melinda Wright and then she wrote two thrillers as Lydia Hitchcock. Soon after that, Mills and Boon accepted her first novel for them, Falcon's Prey as Penny Jordan.

This was a refreshing read. A WWII book where food like meat, sugar and white bread are hard to come by or non existent, makeup is only gotten if you know the Americans, loved ones of the main characters can be injured and possibly killed, people follow the Official Secrets Act, and the women have morals and actually keep the vows and promises they make to the men in their lives! After the Cliffehaven series at times made the war seem a minor inconvenience taking place overseas and don't get me started on one particular character I came to hate (well two technically) this book was a breath of fresh air.
As always it took a few pages to orientate myself to the story. Happy to report my favourite character Snuffles is still around although he gets called Snuggles at one point which is funny. I've had three rabbits and only one snuggled and that was only when he was old and sick. But so far Snuffles is still part of the gang.
Picking up roughly where we left off, the Harrison sisters are doing their bit. Rose is officially promoted permanently to sister at the hospital. She's worried as her sweetheart Phillip hasn't written in forever, then she meets his mother on the street who shares news that breaks her heart. Meanwhile a doctor on her ward takes an interest in her but she's not giving up on Phillip just yet so she turns him down completely until he joins the army medical corps in a huff, but I'm glad Rose didn't let her head be turned so easily, proving it can be done and still make the book enjoyable.
Clover gets shipped to Bletchley Park as a code breaker. She's first billeted in a house of ill repute shall we say, before landing on her feet in a grand estate with another worker at Bletchley. Her dear friend Marigold soon joins them as well and it's sort of hinted that Clover and Marigold have more than just a friendship.
During her code breaking Clover helps uncover the German plans to bomb historical and cultural sites which lead into Daisy's story.
Daisy starts off at the tube station longing to do more for the war. When her boss breaks his leg a new man arrives one who is a tyrant. He cuts safety and cleaning crews and has Daisy filing paperwork for other stations hinting that he's doing something nefarious. Then a little girl is put in danger, Daisy comes to the rescue and this gives her the courage to join the Land Army. While stationed at a training farm near Exeter one of the raids Clover decoded happens. Several girls are in the city at a party and are killed sending the Harrison family into a tailspin and nearly causing Clover to slip up about her real job.
The Potter sisters also get equal time here although Faith isn't mentioned as much just in passing. Her husband is presumed dead when his ship is torpedoed and sank and let's just say she certainly doesn't mourn him in fact it's hinted she wasn't terribly faithful when he was alive, but it's in keeping with the way she always has been.
Hope continues to work for the LAAS and Ian pops round but it seems she might let her jealousy ruin what could be a loving relationship.
At last we get to see Joy, she's the only one of the six cousins to have little to no mention in previous books. But now her beautiful singing voice has opened doors and while it all seems nice there were slight undertones that something might happen in future books. But for now she's happy and might possibly join ENSA which I only know from Are You Being Served is called every night something awful.
The rest of the family makes appearances. Peter's war appears to be over for him, Robbie seems more interested in eating than his rabbit and falls into a depression cause sweets are rationed. Patty can be a bit annoying when her kids don't come home for every holiday not realizing that's how it goes in war but that's also what mothers do and have done throughout time. There's a hint of scandal with Vera and Arthur, now they're cramped in a tiny flat with Joy he starts soending time away from them and his co worker volunteers with Vera and Joy at the Red Cross.
Overall I really liked this one. It kept me interested, the characters stayed true to what the author started them out as and wanted us to think they were. There was no being told how good and sweet they were while their actions showed otherwise. And while the main blitz in London is over the aftermath lingers on an affects a couple characters. It also had one my all time favourite scenes in a book this far when Rose tells off a flasher on the train. Its up there with Cathy Dollanganger kicking John Amos in the nuts in If There Be Thorns. Both were great scenes.
The book ends with the family that's able to make it meeting up on Christmas day 1942 and wondering what 1943 has in store for them. We'll have to wait another year to find out for ourselves sadly.

December 12, 2025Another brilliant book in the series. I feel the characters are old friends and the book has a great mixture of details of wartime coupled with a great storyline. This latest edition brings in new wartime jobs for two of the sisters which are well described and bring a new dimension to the series. It continues too with the existing jobs of some of the other girls including nursing and ambulance driving. I always think to myself what would I have done if I had been alive in wartime and books like these give a great insight into how hard life was and how many hours people worked and volunteered (I cant see people today would want to do the same!).
The story is well written and the characters are all likeable and easy to relate too. I very much look forward to the next instalment.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and of course the author for allowing me to read and review an Arc copy.
