On Distant Shores by Sarah Sundin

A great story!
I loved Hutch and Georgie. I was nervous about how their romance would go at first because she already had a beau, but all turned out fine and progressed in good time. Their love story was quite passionate and lovely, but definitely bumpy. They had some things they needed to overcome and work on before they could truly be happy together. I like how it all turned out and how they matured personally and spiritually.
The history in Sundin's book are always so detailed and interesting and never boring for me. They don't drag down the story, they enhance it. I love the mix of real and fiction.
And of course in war times there is real loss and Sundin isn't afraid to rip your heart out. War can't be all happy endings. And as much as I hate what happened in this book, it also gives realness to the story and time period and allows our characters to grow and mature.
