At the height of World War I, two sweethearts face impossible odds in
this powerful tale of courage, duty, and heartbreak.
In the summer of 1918, Captain Marcus
Weatherford arrives in Russia on a secret mission, with a beautiful ballerina
posing as his fiancée. He's there to find the Romanov tsarina and her son and
glean information about a plot to assassinate Lenin. As the danger intensifies,
Marcus's sense of duty battles with his desire to return home to Clare, the
woman he truly loves, before it's too late.
Military hospital orderly Clare Danner still suffers from Marcus's betrayal
after learning he's engaged to another woman. Clare also fears losing her
daughter, Daisy, to the heartless family who took her away once before. Only
Marcus can provide the critical proof needed to save Daisy, but when an injury
leaves him powerless to help, Clare's fate--and the fate of the top-secret
mission--hangs in the balance.
My Thoughts:
In Love’s Time
by Kate Breslin is a tale of espionage, forgotten memories, and love. If you
have read any of Breslin’s previous novels, then you would be familiar with
Marcus Weatherford. He, as the hero of this novel, has been the sidelined
character who made an appearance but never had the change to tell his story
until now. He is brave, family orientated, and madly in love with Clare. On the
other end of the scope is Clare Danner, a nurse who wants the best for her
daughter Daisy. With all the tension and drama in the story, Clare keeps a cool
head and does what she needs to without thinking twice about not doing it. She
is willing to sacrifice everything. The plot is handled nicely with plenty of
action when the story starts and mellows in the middle by then rising again
toward the climactic moment. The description of Marcus’s family home is nicely
handled. I love the secret passageways, the conservatory, and hospital on half
of the estate. Breslin does a wonderful job at crafting a story that shows how
long will true love wait and what challenges will they conquer to make true
love a reality. Overall, In Love’s Time by Kate Breslin was a
masterfully told story about love with hints of espionage. I really loved
spending time with Marcus and Clare. I recommend this story.
I received a complimentary copy of In Love’s
Time by Kate Breslin from Bethany House Publishing, but the opinions stated
are all my own.
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
