Publisher's summary

The ideal lady wears lace, speaks quietly, and never - under any circumstances - fixes an automobile. But Gwyn Ruthers has never cared two snaps about being the ideal lady. With the war to end all wars exploding across the English Channel, she leaves behind her restrictive life as a chauffer's daughter to serve in an all-female ambulance unit in France. She's not about to let her social status or gender prevent her from serving her country. Not even a handsome captain can distract her from her mission. Most of the time.

Captain William Crawford wouldn't wish the ravages of war on any man, much less the captivating woman who insists on driving into battle instead of staying safely at home. He can't deny that the troops need more medical help but not when it puts innocent women in danger. How can he lead his men against the Jerries while worrying about Gwyn's safety?

Bound together by circumstances, Gwyn and William can't stop the love growing between them. Can their relationship survive, or will it become another casualty of war?

A very good narrator

The story was very predictable, but t narrator was great. She did voices very well. The tale had interesting bits of history slogged down by repetitive detail, although tossing in Walt Disney was cute.

It was good but...

I loved the story line and this book made me want to look for more like it but I could do without the Christian drivel thrown in, It's unnecessary and takes away from an otherwise 5 star book.

Loved the story

The story was lovely and held my interest. The narrator was fine for the most part but some of the character voices were annoying.

Didn’t care for the narrator at first but the story is good.

I didn’t think I would finish this audible book, not liking the narrator, initially. However, the story was interesting and continued to hold my interest. I kind of forgot about the narration once the story and characters developed.

Loved this book!

A terrific novel about a brave woman driver in WWI, bringing a history to us that is not a common subject. Narration was exceptionally good! Thanks!

Romance during War

Sweet story, romance. Great narration, brings story to life. I enjoyed faint undertone of having faith to guide your life’s journey. (Not preachy at all). Sweet ending.
