Solid 3 stars. Entertaining and romantic and a little spicy (open
door 3-3.5 /5 heat). I like the amnesia trope but it dragged out too long. Also too long to get to the real “conflict” in the story  and then it was a matter of stop being stupid and petty and just ask a question and talk it out or confess already. Wouldn’t have made for as dramatic ending with a big romantic gesture I suppose. Story just dragged a bit, so it took me quite a while to finish.

I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as the first story. But it was still so good!

Enjoyed this one. Surprised that it did make me cry. Lighthearted for a wartime historical romance but still got me.
