The third book in the Air Raid Girls series - a heart-warming new story of friendship, love and duty in wartime, perfect for fans of Nancy Revell and Donna Douglas.

Spring, 1942.

Lizzie is making plans for her wedding with fiancé Bill. But preparations during wartime aren't easy, and attacks on the Yorkshire port of Kelthorpe are only getting worse.

Connie wants to be there for her sister, but she has troubles of her own - a secret that is driving a wedge between herself and those who love her.

Meanwhile, Pamela faces new complications in her romance with Fred, and the arrival of two new RAF servicemen stirs up trouble.

As bombs fall and friendships are tested, will the air raid girls keep their fighting spirit and find their happy endings?

Critic reviews

Vivid characters, sparkling dialogue and a lively, heartwarming story that kept me engrossed from start to finish. By the end, I felt as though I had made three new friends and had experienced a taste of life in war-torn Yorkshire. Now I'm waiting impatiently for Jenny Holmes' next book!
'Definitely a book sure to please lovers of WW2 Romance'
A story vibrant with the atmosphere of the time and fuelled by the power of duty and friendship
Gritty and uplifting, it's a tale of triumph over adversity

I loved the series of the air raid girls, but I think when they changed the narrator on the last book, she should have listened to the first two. Fred didn’t have a German accent, that’s how he blended in. On the last book he suddenly had a strong one, it sort of ruined the character. Brilliant series. Loved listening to it

Great book

The continuation of "The Air Raid Girls" series is superb storytelling by Jenny Holmes. What a shame that Penelope Freeman didn't listen to the first two book narrations by Anne Dover. Penelope has all the females sounding twee with teeny tiny voices and nothing like the strong characters they are. The worst thing is that she has given Fred a German accent. If she had read or listened to the previous two books, she would have realised that he doesn't sound German which is how he managed to hide his real identity for so long. I do wish Anne had narrated this third book too. Very disappointing.
