    About this ebook

    In Brussels at the height of WWI, a small, underground newspaper is the only thing offering the occupied city hope—and real news of the war. The paper may be a small whisper amid the shouts of the German army, but Edward Kirkland will do anything to keep it in print. Meanwhile, Isa Lassone, a Belgian-American socialite whose parents whisked her to safety at the start of the war, sneaks back into the country to rescue those dearest to her: Edward and his mother. But Edward refuses to go, and soon Isa is drawn into his secret life printing the newspaper . . . And into his heart.

      Where I got the book: free Kindle download promotion. Disclaimer: Maureen Lang is a friend of mine.I am reading the Great War series backwards, but that doesn't matter as each story is complete in itself. Whisper on the Wind is a good example of how a romance can be geared to Christian readers without being at all preachy. The way the characters' faith impacts their lives and informs their decisions is brought in very naturally, and I would recommend the novel to non-Christian readers who are looking for romance, suspense and history without the overwhelming sensuality that so often accompanies these three elements.I loved the Belgian setting. I lived in Belgium for 16 years, and can confirm that the novel accurately conveys the feel of this small, quirky, defiant nation with its ability to live with change and fight back subtly against it at the same time.I also enjoyed the fact that there are two romances in this book--sort of a main course and dessert, with two happy endings to look forward to. And, after all, you read a romance for the happy ending.My overall feeling about this book was that it was a good, relaxing read that I found very uplifting. Just the kind of book I like to grab when I need cheering up.

      Isa Lassone left Belgium with her family just before the war broke out. Two years later she makes the decision to return to Belgium to rescue the man she has loved her whole life. The problem is Edward Kirkland refuses to be rescued. He is involved with an underground newspaper that is meant to keep the spirits up of the people and report the "real" news of the war. When Edward refuses to leave, Isa decides to stay and help Edward with the paper and be near Edward's mother. But being involved with the paper could cost them their very lives. How much are they willing to do for their county and how does faith in a sovereign God help them survive some of their darkest moments?This was a fantastic read. So filled with danger, suspense, romance and intrigue. All the characters were very well drawn. The way this author describes the details in the story made me walk the streets in Belgium and hear the gunfire in the distance. It made me have a new appreciation for all the things that people went through in war time. I thought as I read the story..."how would I have handled that?". Isa was a great example as she tried to be salt and light to Edward who had pretty much lost his faith. I also thoroughly enjoyed the characters of Jenny (Edwards mother) and Max (a German soldier). The story keeps a steady pace but about half way through it shift into high gear all the way to the finish. I know that this is the second book in the Great War Series but I really didn't feel lost at all. I would highly recommend this book. It would make a great movie! Thanks goes to Tyndale for this complimentary review copy.
