All's Fair in Love and War is such a fun sweet lil story. I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic between both Georgie and the children and Georgie and Harry. It was such a heartfelt story that encompassed many types of love.
This is the first in a series so there is a little set up of characters, friends of Georgia who I assume will be the main female characters of subsequent books, and that extra set up gives the story additional emotional depth. Seeing Georgie struggle to find her footing in the world and the found family she discovered at school really set the tone for her time at the Captain's house.
Lastly I have to commend Heath on such well written and age appropriate children. As a teacher and mom I often struggle with children who do not match their ages or development levels and it often takes me completely out of a story but all of the children really added to my enjoyment of the story and helped to move along the plot and set up the relationship between Harry and Georgie. I will definitely continue this series.
Thanks to Netgalley for the early copy.
