Book Review: Nightingale (Blog Tour) and giveaway info


About Nightingale: 
Esther Lange doesn’t love her fiancé—she’s trapped in an engagement after a mistaken night of passion.

Still, she grieves him when he’s lost in battle, the letters sent to her by the medic at his side giving her a strange comfort, so much that she strikes up a correspondence with Peter Hess, an Iowa farmboy. Or is he?  Peter Hess is not who he seems. Indeed, he’s hiding a secret, something that could cost them both their lives, especially when the past comes back to life. A bittersweet love song of the home front war between duty and the heart...a battle where only one will survive.

Don’t miss book 1 in this stand-alone collection, Sons of Thunder.

My Review
 I've never been a fan of any books that take place during war time and this book takes place during WWII, the difference in other books I've read and this one is that I loved this book.
I read at night before I go to sleep and it only took two nights to read this book...I kept getting up and getting a drink,washing my face, whatever to stay awake. I did not want to put it down.
I loved the way it is written because I really felt involved with the characters. I found myself talking to them...NO! don't you dare! and best of all YES!
(what? Yall don't talk to yourself? 
.....quit lying!)
 It has a a history in it that I never really heard much of which includes the German POW camps that I enjoyed learning more about.

This book is about mistakes,love found,love lost,secrets and friendships. Sounds like real life...
I recommend Nightingale to everyone!
