Legacy Falls
Platform Four
Every day for twenty years, a Mills family woman has manned the goods trolley at the Pleasant Street train station. Every day since the Second World War began, Ada Mills has watched the passengers come and go, secretly wishing for an adventure, a way out of Legacy Falls.
She never expected to find forever.
Garreth McGinnis only wanted a pack of smokes and a fresh baked scone from the pretty girl selling wares on his stop over train ride through a place called Legacy Falls. A smoke and a bite led him to the girl who he couldn’t keep from his thoughts as he lay awake at night fighting a war that shouldn’t have been his. One letter becomes two. Two becomes ten and Garreth spent the whole of the war completely under Ada Mills's spell.
Falling in love through lines of ink was one thing. Meeting the future that waits on platform four once the war ends, is something altogether different.
Once the bombs have quieted and the soldiers return home, will the dreams of forever be all that Ada and Garreth's letters promised or will reality leave the couple wishing they'd never sworn to meet on platform four?

5 ‘The loveliest’ Stars
"It's true I've only ever spend a handful of hours with you and what I know of you comes from everything we've written, but I don't care so much about any of that. I only know that I've spent a good bit of this war falling in love with you, bit by bit, line by line, letter by letter."
I loved this book. It's like a roller coaster of emotions. The author brings to life a sweet romantic story of depth and emotion in a time when the world was full of hate and despair. There is never a dull moment and I applaud this author for keeping the pace going through this captivating novella that I certainly won’t forget for a long time coming. It was believable and made you understand how difficult times are in a war.
When sweet and innocent Ada, and handsome and kind Garreth met on train platform four of her small home town on the day he was leaving to fight for his country, they were insta attracted to each other. That accidental meeting led to a promise to write letters to each other. But how could they travel this path together when they would be separated by distance and time? Told through the timeless medium of letters, Platform Four is at its core the emotional struggle of how one spiritual love is formed and tested in tragedy, tempered and proven in hope.
The author tells an enchanting tale of the nature of love and trust in prose that is intimate and poetic. The last few pages gave me the chills and my eyes welled up with tears. It was that good!

This was some piece of wonderful, a war-time historical short read. This book literally put its hooks in and told a complete, in depth story and didn't let go to the last page. All previous war-time historical books I've read have been set in Europe or England. This book was set in the US, alongside European letters from the front and I really enjoyed this perspective.
Ada the heroine has a brief encounter only lasting a few hours with Irish Garreth.
"He seemed, well, genuine. Maybe it was the flash of something helpless in his eyes, or how he held tight to my arm not as a possession but almost like a lifeline, that gave me the impression he wasn’t being forward, but was actually just the smallest bit desperate."
Garreth might have felt desperate, getting ready to travel to the front, but he was a man I took to immediately. What ensues between these two is heartache so darn palpable that my heart ached too. There is a strong theme of family in this book and all those elements made for a rich story.
"“When I give my word, it sticks, Miss Ada.” He’d said that to me the day we met. I believed him then. I believed it now."
The writing was excellent and the description vividly transported me to the era, the characters and the feelings. The feelings, they poured out of me in this one, especially from 60%.
Eden Butler showed great talent in writing a story just over 100 pages that had depth and completion and had all the feels. If she writes more from this genre and era, I'm on board; a favourite of 2016.

A Refreshing, Old-Fashioned Love Story with an Authentic 1940s Feel
I feel like I took a trip back in time today to when a generation worked hard, lived in fear of their men dying in battle and loved with a fierceness that only got stronger with time. Platform Four was such an authentic trip to the 1940s - I loved the slang, the description of the clothes and the way Ada and Garreth fall in love, through old-fashioned love letters. Eden Butler did a fantastic job with this World World II-era romance. The writing is so vivid and tangible and even though this novella is only a little over 90 pages, it is packed with so much emotion that I found my heart in my throat at times. Ms. Butler does an excellent job portraying emotions of the time - young love caught short by war and fear of loved ones dying.
This is the story of an Irish-American soldier, Garreth, who meets a young woman, Ada, selling sundries from a cart at a train station in a small, American town as he is shipping off to war. The two begin writing letters during his time overseas and they fall in love through these letters. I loved reading how they expressed their love, their fears and their uncertainty for a future together. The letters are truly beautiful. Ms. Butler shows the reader what a blossoming, old-fashioned romance looks like and it was so refreshing. Such a simple yet original story. Also, readers are shown how a country survived during the war - the sorrows and heartbreaks and the happy reunions. Our nation changed after World War II and so did it's generation. Ms. Butler shows this in Platform Four and does a generation proud. This was such a fantastic debut into historical romance from this author. I hope she continues to write this genre.

Cortito pero muy bonito.
Aunque esta ambientado en la guerra, un tema que no me atrae mucho, la autora se enfocó mucho más en toda la perdida, dolor y esperanzas que esta deja. Bastante lindo y me hizo sentir demasiadas emociones. Los personajes son un completo amor.

Superb writing from Eden! The 40's shines with emotion, real and biting, during wartime and the toll it puts on everyone.
The story is not full length but you still get great reading from Ada and Garreth and how the world can be cruel and beautiful at once. I enjoyed every single word. Butler always writes with crisp heart.
“Become transported to the past, pin curls, cigarette girls and war on the horizon with Platform Four by Eden Butler. The writing is crisp and full, a Norman Rockwell painting come to life, a feast for the eyes and soul. Butler creates perfection with Ada and Garreth, leading us along on their romantic journey.”

A beautiful WW2 war romance!!
4 1/2 stars!!
Eden Butler is an author's name that has been going around my circle of book friends for a long time. So when I saw this beautiful book cover, was intrigued with a 1940's era WW2 war romance, I was in! I just needed something different, and the novella length appealed in my busy schedule. This definitely delivered!!
This was so lovely!! I appreciated the author's research and attention to detail, creating an authentic feel to that time. The language, the clothes, the slang... I felt transported to that world. The thing that got me, was the slow build of old-fashioned romance: the touches, the glances, the holding of pinkies, the discussions. Followed by the Pining. Strong pining commences as love letters go back and forth. The pining that caught my breath a few times.
This is a sweet romance, and proceeds go to charity. I fully recommend this for a lovely departure from reality, a gorgeous romantic weekend read. And, I'm excited to check out her other books. Although this is "Clean", she has a reputation for sexy and emotional writing.

Platform Four was an utterly charming read.
Eden does an amazing job of transporting you back to 1943 and taking your mind to what it must have been like to wait on news from loved ones at war. This was a short read but it was packed full of emotion and it was lovely to read about a couple whose relationship develops through letters over a umber of years.
I really enjoyed this sincere and endearing romance.
I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this story, it transported me back in time to when love was easy and beautiful. By easy I mean love was more spur of the moment, now it seems we take more time to realize we love someone. The writing was perfection and the plot was original. The characters were easy to connect with and ones that gripped my heart. This book is filled with emotion that pours off the page. Eden really has a wonderful talent of writing books that will rock our soul and I can't wait to read her next book.

Awww que lindo libro!!
Me encantó, es cortito pero muy bueno. Es el primer libro que leo de esta autora y me ha sorprendido... todas las emociones y los sentimientos que trae la guerra a todos, tanto a los que se quedan como a los que tienen que ir al campo de batalla. Y dentro de este escenario una particular historia de amor... que aunque no han tenido tiempo para conocerse bien en persona, se van conociendo y enamorando por medio de cartas a lo largo de 2 años en que transcurre la 2da Guerra Mundial.
El protagonista Garreth me encantó, su manera de escribirle a Ada es tan hermoso... creo que el se enamoró de ella a primera vista, y la manera en que lo plasmó la autora me gustó.
Y sobre la prota, bueno, me gustó mucho su actitud y su forma de enfrentar las cosas y a pesar de todo seguir teniendo esperanza.
Y una de las últimas cartas que le envió Garreth a Ada.... dioosh, quedé suspirando!!!
AQUÍ SE LAS DEJO, PARA QUE SUSPIREN COMO YO!!

What an absolutely lovely read! Platform Four - A Legacy Falls Romance tells the wartime story of a chance encounter between a soldier and a woman, at a train station in a small town. Ada, the strong-willed and loyal provider of snacks and cigarettes for the weary travelers she services daily meets Garreth, the native NYer with the Irish brogue, going off to fight the Germans during WWII. Their easy banter, their polite flirting and their stolen glances in the 5 hours they spend together are just the beginning to a long-term relationship via letters they trade almost daily while he is away. And just from those letters, excerpts that are shared in this novella, we get to watch as Ada and Garreth fall deeply in love, knowing in their heart of hearts that their brief time together was only the start to love that was meant to be forever.
The author gives us a close-up view as to life back in 1944 and 1945 and all the sacrifices both the soldiers and those left behind endured. Ada's small town suffered greatly with devastating loss and this was happening everywhere. I shed a tear more than once for the unbelievable sadness and desperation felt each and every day. Never knowing if your loved one would make it home and not knowing how to carry on despite all the uncertainty. Family was of extreme importance during those uneasy days and this novella captures that feeling perfectly.
The tenderness, the sweet desire that both Ada and Garreth relayed to each other in their letters was the soul of this book. I loved every word and enjoyed this refreshing departure from most of the more erotic books that I tend to favor. Eden Butler wrote a touching novella that I encourage everyone to read to experience a love that is simply beautiful. Life was much simpler back then but no less intriguing.
A solid 5 stars!!

Platform Four is a beautiful, historical romance with once again fantastic writing from Eden Butler. As always Ms. Butler has a way with words that is incredibly descriptive and helps the reader feel a part of the story. While the story is short it is full of all the feels and takes the reader back in a time to the 1940s. The characters are full of love, heartbreak and life. Ms. Butler does an amazing job portraying the struggles of the time period and the emotions involved with life during WWII.

Amazing and breathtaking!
This is a short story, but nothing about it feels short! The fears, dreams and hopes, that I can only imagine going through everyone in the 40's, is just as relative today. Watching this couple, no matter how short their time was, fall in love through the war was emotional.
With fear holding my heart, I followed their story and prayed right along with them.
A definite must read to add to your shelf!!

They meet on Platform Four she the sweet, innocent, strong-willed and hopeful Ada and he the handsome, kind, polite and brave Garreth. The story begins when they start writing each other letters...
It is easy to fall in love with their story, waiting on letters and telegrams, hoping for the best but fearing for the worst.
Mrs Butler does amazing job with a time travel, giving us the fears and struggles, dreams and hopes of the generation of 1940s before but after the WWII.

This story tears at your heart strings. You fall in love with their story and actually feel like you are in that time, waiting on letters and telegrams, hoping for the best. And also shedding some tears. I sat on the edge of my seat with this, because I totally fell in love with the characters. As will you. So hurry up & read it!!

Sweet romance
Butler's addition to the Legacy Falls Romance series is simply beautiful. A love that grows through letters after a chance meeting on Platform Four near the end of WWII. A different approach than her earlier works, this story is all about feelings and following your dreams. Highly recommend.

Not one to shy away from Eden Butler's books, I was curious if I would enjoy a period piece but I was pleasantly surprised!! Love love love the letters and the lingo. Made me tear up and I loved being able to read about that kind of epic, romantic connection. Such courage and strength. Ugh. So good.

Esta historia me gustó bastante, ya que te muestra lo que la gente vivía durante las guerras, con la partida de sus seres queridos, comunicarse en esa pesadilla atraves de cartas, no saber si quiera, si van a volver.
Mas que nada te habla sobre la esperanza, amor y sufrimiento. En esta historia los protagonistas, o mas bien, la protagonista es una chica que conoce a su amor en el momento y lugar equivocado. Es un soldado que esta por partir a la guerra, en medio del caos y el sufrimiento del mundo en general, su breve encuentro los dejara perdidos el uno por el otro.
Es aquí donde viene lo interesante, es un tiempo muy corto para que ambos sientan una conexión y amor! Pero la escritura es tan clara, llena de sentimiento que de verdad lo crees, es algo muy sorprendente.
Jamas imaginé que me iba a atrapar.
Por que vemos lo que fue la segunda guerra de ambos lados de la moneda, tanto de soldados como de familias y países que prestaron a sus ciudadanos para la guerra, vemos soldados ansiando regresar a casa. Mujeres trabajando en lugares donde sus hombres trabajaban, hijos y padres esperando el regreso de sus hombres.
Es una historia, si un poco de sufrimiento, pero algo un poco diferente a lo normal y llena de sentimientos.

I'm in love with the Legacy Falls series
I loved this books it's heartbreaking braking but sweet and it's from my favorite time. I love all stories that take place in the 1940s especially these kinds of military romances.

It’s unfortunate that the art of writing letters, of learning and coming to know someone through language, is almost obsolete today.
Fortunately, we have short and sweet novellas like this one that transport us to a time when love and simply staying alive were the objects of one’s existence. There is a certain simplicity to the way people used to operate, and they had something we don’t have in this anxious, impulsive age of instant gratification, which was a patience and willingness to just wait, and to do what was necessary for the betterment of one’s self and community while waiting.
