Until Leaves Fall In Paris

When it comes to WWII historical romance Sarah Sundin is hands down the best Author.  Her impeccable research shines forth in her writing and I am always amazed at how she draws me into the pages as if I'm right there on the sidelines watching as the story unfolds. If you have a facebook you should follow her as well.  She posts some great pics and information about her research.  

Until Leaves Fall In Paris is my favorite book of hers yet. It is fast paced, heart-wrenching at times and oh the ending will have you near tears as it is just about perfect. 

As the Nazis march toward Paris in 1940, American ballerina Lucie Girard buys her favorite English language bookstore to allow the Jewish owners to escape.  Lucie struggles to run Green Leaf Book Books due to oppressive German laws and harsh conditions, but she finds a way to aid the resistance by passing secret messages between the pages of her books. 

Widower Paul Aubrey wants nothing more than to return to the States with his little girl, but the US Army convinces him to keep his factory running and obtain military information from his German customers.  As the war rages on, Paul offers his own resistance by sabotaging his product and hiding British airmen in his factory.  After they meet in the bookstore, Paul and Lucie are drawn to each other, but she rejects him when she discovers he sells to the Germans.  And for Paul to win her trust would mean betraying his mission.

Thanks to Revell for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
