Boy howdy, this is a good one. Saving Mrs. Roosevelt is a unique WWII story. I think one of the things I liked most about it was that I hadn’t read one quite like it before.
Candice Patterson’s heroine was a different type (a Maine fisherwoman—not too assuming, not too graceful), and she plopped her in a unique setting with high stakes and a really cool premise. She provided a compelling bit of history about the first women’s coast guard, and the suspenseful plotting kept me riveted. I had my inklings about the primary culprit in the story, but I was only partly right. It’s a page-turner! To top it off, there’s a charming romance, and the couple’s first kiss—va-va-voom and holy sizzle, batgirl! That scene was worth a re-read and goes down as my favorite book kiss of 2021. I don’t normally have a favorite book kiss, by-the-way, but this one definitely satisfied. If you’re reading the entire Heroines of WWII series or only picking and choosing the ones that grab your attention, don’t miss Saving Mrs. Roosevelt. It’s sure to be a favorite.
