Paris in the 1940's during Nazi occupied France, historical/fiction, with espionage and romance !

I simple DEVOURED this book...but Never wanted it to end !! It starts in Nazi occupied Paris, where one sister is on a mission to rescue her younger sister from a forbidden attraction to a Nazi Captain, who surrounds her with a very glamorous and Luxurious life, while she never recognizing the horrors of war around her. It is while Kat attends a lavish party that her sister Ellie and her Captain have thrown, that she meets a Scot Resistance Fighter named Barrett. Throughout the story Kat and Barrett join forces to get Ellie away and back to London, and also to infiltrate the Nazi's inner circle, to learn as much as they could about the Nazi's next move and future plans. Neither Barrett and least of all Kat, expect to fall for each other, but they do...and through the story you are taken in by their espionage and romance. There are moments of the realization of Kat and Barret falling in love with each other, the closer they work together. This story is not short on all the violence, danger, friends killed, and countless narrow escapes of getting caught.It is so Action filled..you feel like your at the edge of your seat..many times cheering on the heros. I couldn't recommend this book enough for anyone to read , you will love it from the very beginning to the heart racing end !! It is a perfect picture of how Paris was taken over by the Nazi's in 1940's , it is a well researched historical fiction story with characters and a plot that is unforgettable!! If I could I would give this book 10 Stars !!! Love, loved, loved it !!!!
