Technically, it's not officially summer on the calendar, but the sunny weather says otherwise. While many people will be spending a lot time outside gardening, swimming and getting suntans, I would rather sit on the porch with a cup of coffee and read a good book.
Now available to purchase in bookstores is the WWII romance novel, titled Anchor In The Storm, book two in the Waves of Freedom series by Sarah Sundin.
Yes, I said it's a WWII Story! I know I've said that I don't care too much for stories set in this time period, but I will occasionally read one, especially if I'm familiar with the author's other works. I've read a few books by Sarah Sundin in the past, so I thought I would give this one a try.
Anchor In The Storm centers on Lillian Avery, a young woman who moves from Ohio to Boston to become a pharmacist around the time when America entered into WWII. Despite her capabilities to do the job correctly, she is constantly being judged by her boss for every move she does; especially when she asks questions about large prescription orders.
Love was the last thing on Lillian's mind, but this is a romance novel, so you can pretty guess that there is love interest for her - Ensign Archer Vandenberg, who happens to be her brother's best friend.
