Page-Turning Intrigue and Romance from an Up-and-Coming Historical Romance Talent
In 1917, Evelyn Marche is just one of many women who has been widowed by the war. A British nurse trapped in German-occupied Brussels, she spends her days working at a hospital and her nights as a waitress in her aunt and uncle’s café. Eve also has a carefully guarded secret keeping her in constant danger: She’s a spy working for a Belgian resistance group in league with the British Secret Service.
When a British plane crashes in Brussels Park, Eve is the first to reach the downed plane and is shocked to discover she recognizes the badly injured pilot. British RFC Captain Simon Forrester is now a prisoner of war, and Eve knows he could be shot as a spy at any time. She risks her own life to hide him from the Germans, but as the danger mounts and the secrets between them grow, their chance of survival looks grim. And even if they do make it out alive, the truth of what lies between them may be more than any love can overcome.

Book Title: High as the Heavens
Book Author: Kate Breslin
What do you like about this book:
"Perhaps God had been silent only because He waited on her to put her faith forward and trust in Him . . . . . . . "
Repeatedly crushed by sorrowful circumstances, Red Cross nurse Evelyn Marche attempts to create a life for herself in German occupied Belgium. British by heritage, she fled to Belgium to be with her mother and younger siblings after the sudden death of her newly wedded husband, a pilot shot down almost immediately after the beginning of the war. Heavily weighted with guilt over actions she took to survive, Evelyn walks a very fine line between "truth and dare" when she involves herself in the Belgian resistance movement, working as a nurse by day and a spy by night.
On one seemingly ordinary evening everything changes once again, when she rescues a downed pilot and risks her own life repeatedly in order to save his. Just how high is "his love for those who fear Him"?
An incredibly romantic story on many levels; also suspenseful and intriguing as the author reveals just how dangerous it was to carry foreign intelligence in a German occupied country, but the strength of this story is embedded in the words of Jesus Himself, when he asked Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?"
I received a copy of this book from the author, the opinions stated are entirely my own.
