A Love So True: A Sweet World War II Historical Romance

Missed the Mark I have thoroughly enjoyed other books written by this author, especially her whimsical Christmas books. So I thought I'd give this book a try when I saw it at one of my favorite book review sites. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with it. The first thing I didn't like was the amazing amount of errors in grammar, punctuation, and usage. While I did receive it as an eBook ARC copy (not realizing that I had purchased it over a year ago!), the online published version that is two years old still has these errors. There were enough to be distracting. The first scene is dramatic and pulls you right in, but I kept getting distracted by all the errors. As the book progressed, I thought it had other faults as well. Though it takes place during World War II, I don't think that aspect of it was used in the story as much as it could be. I wasn't wild about the heroine, as she just seemed far too emotional, going to extremes with little provocation. It got a bit wearing. The romance felt lackluster. The children, while darling, are a bit too precocious. Kids just don't sound like that, then or now! All in all, I found myself disappointed in this book. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
