Colleen Vaughn is a US Army nurse who has seen more than her share of tragedy. She and her fellow nurses had been stationed on the front line in North Africa where comforting dying soldiers and tending broken bodies as best they could was the norm. Now the ladies had been transferred to London, where counting the second between bomb landing was the often the only way to move from place to place.
Beyond steeling herself to do the best she could for the wounded and dying, Colleen was also facing a personal crisis. She had fallen for a pilot and the two had become engaged. Unfortunately, the couple’s happiness was extremely short lived, as the flyer was shot down over enemy territory only days after their betrothal. Colleen wanted love in her life but couldn’t face the possibility of loosing anyone else that she loved.
I have a new favorite author and a romance novel that I know I’ll reread until the cover gets ratty. Several of the scenes (when Daniel is waiting at the train, the soldier’s last words to Daniel, when Daniel brings news of Rick’s demise and of course the scene on Christmas Eve) will haunt me forever. I’ve never been so completely swept away by a romance story before reading A Pair of Wings.
