Review for Love Along the Shores by Cara Putnam
Cara Putnam is probably best known for her romantic suspense books, which I absolutely adore... but I'm definitely coming to find that she does historical fiction just as wonderfully as well. This novella was proof of that. I was drawn in right from the start, which isn't always the case for me with historic reads lately so that was certainly a plus. While it had some slower moments here and there, it kept a nice pace throughout that kept me reading on. There was a bit of a mystery, which I'd have liked to see resolved a little more... but I so enjoyed the sweet, slow romance of Lauren and John. While I probably could have enjoyed spending more time with these characters, I felt the story didn't feel rushed or incomplete as can happen on occasion with novellas. I enjoyed reading about a piece of WWII that I didn't know much about to start too.
Overall, I found this to be a quick and enjoyable read and one that fans of WWII fiction are sure to want to check out.
**I received a complimentary copy for consideration. All thoughts are my own.
