A Portrait of Loyalty (The Codebreakers Book #3)

***EXCELLENT END TO THE WWI SERIES*** // Zivon Marin / Evgeni Marin - Two Russian brothers battle for what they believe is right and just for the future of the world, each shrouded in covert operations during the war. "He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder: he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." // Lilian Blackwell deals in her own clandestine maneuvers; extremely talented behind her Kodak No.1 Autographic Special, model A camera and in the darkroom. "Something about him struck her as photographic, as if he were already a still life captured on film. What would he look like when actually put to paper? Would the camera see the same thing her eyes did, or would it not translate into a photograph, where everything was caught in a moment devoid of motion? No. She'd learned to capture motion - or its story, anyway - with her camera. She would just have to see if she could capture its opposite too. A challenge she'd never taken up before, but one she was determined to meet. // Tea Quote: Perhaps she would see if Ara would like to have tea or something. They rarely had the chance to socialize outside of Charing Cross (hospital). // This story is chock full of information & wonderful detail. I loved how it was woven through the tense war years, the 1918 flu epidemic, and the faith of believers vs the righteousness of non-believers. I also found it precious that people brought together during those difficult days could still find love, clinging to one another for support. I was NOT prepared for the part of the story that brought me to sobbing tears. It was very emotional and definitely required pause and tissues. Very well written and highly recommended. // "His promises have not changed just because my circumstances have. He is still the giver of all. The lover of our souls. No matter how bad our situation, He is still good. All we have to do is look for Him." // I received a complimentary eBook from the author via NetGalley, in exchange for my honest opinion.

Another great book by Roseanna M. White! A Portrait of Loyalty is the third and last book in The Codebreakers series. You definitely don't want to miss it if you love inspirational historical romance that is filled with love, war, inspiration and history. Zivon Martin was one of Russia's cryptographers, but had to flee from Russia to England when his life was in danger during the revolution, but in the process he and his brother were separated and anger is driving him to find out what happened to him. Lily Blackwell sees the world through the lens of a camera so her perspective is different than many others during this difficult time and even though their friendship is blooming into something more they both are keeping secrets from one anther because they are unsure if they can trust each other. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more books by this author in the future. I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.

I have read all of White’s Code Breaker series. I must say she certainly does her research well about WW1 and the intelligence network used during this time. She is a great writer and is not afraid to bring Christian faith into her writings. As all of White’s books, this was a beautifully crafted story with unforgettable characters and a fast moving plot. There is a depth to this one that you can get lost in as you keep reading on. I was given an e-copy from the publisher via NetGalley and I am glad to give my review.
