In Books & Battlefields by Heather Tabers Review


I absolutely adored In Books & Battlefields by Heather Tabers. This is the second historical romance that I've read by this author and it did NOT disappoint. This story takes place during WW1 on American soil, in an army camp in Alabama. 
We get to see the story from three points of view.
Isabella travels from her home in Colorado to be a librarian in the army hospital.
Deputy Nathaniel is her brother's best friend who has been pining for her for a while, but hasn't had the courage to tell her. He follows her to Alabama by securing a job as a sheriff's deputy. 
Major Byron is the chief doctor in the army hospital and things get off on the wrong foot between him and Isabella. 
I admit, I wasn't a huge fan of the doctor at first, but he had issues to work through. There was also a secret in Isabella's past that was holding her back from finding love. I sort of went back and forth on who I was hoping would win her love.
But there was so much more than this love triangle. I loved learning more about WW1 and libraries in the army. And the author added in some great suspense with danger coming from an unknown source. Plus some spies. I don't really want to say anything else about that. 
I loved that faith was important in the lives of these characters and we see them going to the Lord and searching for his will. Some important truths were shared. 
And I just loved learning that this is book one in the series and we'll get more of a certain character's story. yay!
I received an e-copy of this book as a member of the launch team and was not required to write a favorable review. These are my own honest thoughts
