In 1944, American naval officer Lt. Wyatt Paxton arrives in London to prepare for the Allied invasion of France. He works closely with Dorothy Fairfax, a "Wren" in the Women's Royal Naval Service. Dorothy pieces together reconnaissance photographs with thousands of holiday snapshots of France - including those of her own family's summer home - in order to create accurate maps of Normandy. Maps that Wyatt will turn into naval bombardment plans.

As the two spend concentrated time together in the pressure cooker of war, their deepening friendship threatens to turn to love. Dorothy must resist its pull. Her bereaved father depends on her, and her heart already belongs to another man. Wyatt too has much to lose. The closer he gets to Dorothy, the more he fears his efforts to win the war will destroy everything she has ever loved. The tense days leading up to the monumental D-Day landing blaze to life under Sarah Sundin's practiced pen with this powerful new series.

As others have said, this ok story was completely spoilt by the American narrator. Whilst she put on a great English accent for the English characters, her American pronunciation of certain words - Edinburrow, dooty, Dorthy, etc - was cringeworthy and almost made me give up, it grated so much. Such a shame.

An enjoyable ‘read’ that had a good story line. Would have been good to use more ‘facts’ which are widely available and adapted around them.

Found the poor pronunciation of English / Scottish place names etc. annoying as was incorrect for the British character(s) and this did spoil it. Also why are the English characters using American vocabulary? after all it’s set in an era when Brits didn’t use any American English.

Looking forward to the next book in the series and ‘grifting my teeth’ in preparation for the mispronunciation of English place names etc.

Hard to put down….

Interesting to hear the different venues and the stories of the English coast in war time?
It’s picked up pace as the chapters went by. I enjoyed it very much but would someone please tell the narrator how to say some of the British words for instance Edinburgh? 🤦‍♀️ apart from that mispronunciations I enjoyed it I would recommend thank you For for the story.

Nostalgic account of wartime liaisons

Enjoyed the plot.
The narration grated on me, somehow the American pronunciations sounded worse when done in a British accent.

Nice Story

The story is interesting enough to keep interest but the incorrect pronunciation was too frequent to ignore and became very distracting and annoying. Also, I felt like history was being rewritten listening to D-Day from the American perceptive!
