In Books & Battlefields by Heather Tabers

In Books & Battlefields is the third book I have read by Heather Tabers, and she has become an instant read for me. If you like Christian historical fiction with a sprinkle of suspense, this is the book for you. This book hooked me in from the start and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Isabella is from a well-off family, living in Colorado. During the Great War, there was a lot of need around the country. So, Isabella volunteers to go to Camp Sheridan, Alabama, to help as a librarian for the army.  This is where she waltzes right into none other than Chief Medical Officer Major Byron McDaniel, who is in charge of the hospital she is stationed at as a librarian. With his grumpy outside, we soon get to pull back the layers of Major Byron, find out he is a widower. Major Byron keeps finding himself drawn to Isabella. The more time they spend together, the deeper his feelings grow. Then Deputy Nathaniel, Isabella’s brother’s best friend, arrives on the scene. He has transferred from Colorado to Alabama with his eyes set on Isabella. Unfold the love triangle. Deputy Nathaniel and Major Byron find themselves fighting for Isabella’s affection.    

Things around the camp seem to be out of place. With war going on, one can never be too careful. Major Byron believes the different accidents are not what they seem. Then, Isabella finds herself in the middle of uncovering a German spy ring using library books to send secret codes, when she is drugged and kidnapped. Nathaniel and Byron must put their differences aside to save Isabella.

Heather Tabers does a great job bringing history to life. I love all the extras she includes in her works, from curated playlists, coloring pages, historical articles, pictures, and character art. You can tell she did a lot of research to bring this book to life.

This second chance at love romance is perfect and sweet with kisses only.

Heather Tabers does a great job of intertwining faith throughout the book.
