WW2 Romance
Published by Kim Potter , 1 year ago
Beneath a Peaceful Moon by Debby Lee is the tenth book in the multi-author Heroines of WWll series. Mary Wishram is looking for information about her brother, who is a POW in the Philippine Islands. Working at Camp Pendleton and training to become a spy will hopefully help. John Painted Horse is asked to join the Code Talkers at Camp Pendleton. Together they will use their language skills to help end the war. This story had so much potential. I was very disappointed that there wasn’t much information on the Code Talker program. Mary wasn’t very convincing as a spy. The whole story just didn’t seem to blend very well. I did enjoy John’s spiritual input and his encouragement of Mary.
I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.

BENEATH A PEACEFUL MOON
HEROINES OF WWII #10
By Debby Lee
The story of Mary Wishram, a Yakima Indian, and John White Horse, a Navajo Indian, are both proud of their Indian heritage but are both in the armed forces, supporting the country they both love, even though there are prejudices against them.
John is trained as a code talker, Mary is trained in another language, and they both simply want to make it home from World War 2 safely and together. This is their love story.
It's a great story, several of the Heroines of WWII series have been quite interesting to me, like #TheEscapeGame. Highly recommend.
I received a complimentary copy of #BeneathAPeacefulMoon from #BarbourFiction and #NetGalley I was under no obligation to post a review.
