A review by cadiva
A casa per Natale by L.A. Witt
4.0
Every time I read a historical romance set in a period of war I want to just wrap my arms around the men who served but couldn't be open about their sexuality.
How many of them lost a loved one they couldn't openly mourn, like both Jack and Roger do here, and how many went to their deaths knowing their loved ones would suffer in silence.
Lori embeds this romance not only with that sense of loss, but also acknowledges those sacrifices with the characters of Floyd and Oskar, off page but important in the journey these men take back to each other.
This ends at the start of the 1950s and there was still a way to go, but the Epilogue felt completely believable to me - a happy Jack and Roger living their best lives under the radar as two war damaged bachelors.
