Nightingale By Susan May Warren Blog Tour

About Nightingale: Esther Lange doesn’t love her fiancé—she’s trapped in an engagement after a mistaken night of passion.

Still, she grieves him when he’s lost in battle, the letters sent to her by the medic at his side giving her a strange comfort, so much that she strikes up a correspondence with Peter Hess, an Iowa farmboy. Or is he? Peter Hess is not who he seems. Indeed, he’s hiding a secret, something that could cost them both their lives, especially when the past comes back to life. A bittersweet love song of the home front war between duty and the heart...a battle where only one will survive.

Don’t miss book 1 in this stand-alone collection, Sons of Thunder.

MY THOUGHTS-I have read many of Susan's other books and I liked them. I read the first one in the Brother in Arms Collection which is a stand alone novel but still with this series. I really like Susan's writing and some of her previous books are on my favorites list. But this series seems to be different than her others. I am not sure if she is trying to do it this way or if it is just me. This book is about a woman who had a relationship with a man and has a child because of it. They are going to be married when he comes back from the war but she receives a letter that he is killed. To make a long story short, and so I don't give too much away, she falls in love with the person who writes to let her know her fiance is seriously injured and dying. But when they meet, she finds out he is not who he seemed to be. It ended the way I thought it would but in a different way than I imagined:) If that makes sense. I really liked Peter throughout the whole book, even with the unplanned deception. I just think there was a little too much sin that didn't need put in it. She did it in a tactful way and I appreciate that.
