I won't give you a story synopsis. That's been done in other reviews. But know this much, Sarah Sundin never disappoints! Her attention to historical accuracy gives the book real substance, and it takes only a page or two for her to make us care about the characters of the story. I'd previously read the other books in the series in which "Kay" the heroine of In Perfect Time has a beguiling presence, but because she was occasionally less than pleasant, I was curious to get inside her skin and find out what Sarah had in mind for this character. Kay's story is like those of many misunderstood people. She's the definition of someone who's hardened exterior is due to unseen scars from her past, and it isn't long at all before we can truly sympathize with her.

In Perfect Time is a beautiful romance, but it is also a story of adventure, intrigue, and historical gusto -- a real "carry me away" novel!

"In Perfect Time" was the final book in the "Wings of the Nightingale" series, and I thoroughly enjoyed all three books. It was a pleasure following Mellie, Georgie and Kay as they shared joy, sorrow, danger, deprivation and sacrifice during World War II.

I loved the close bonds the nightingales developed and I always enjoy reading books that not only entertain, but also teach me something. I have learnt so much about the wonderful young women who willingly became pioneer evacuation nurses during this tumultuous period in history, helping to ease the pain and misery wounded soldiers had to bear as they were flown from war zones to hospitals around Italy and France. Despite objections from high ranking soldiers, who didn't believe women were capable enough to handle this role, the girls proved their worth and earned both respect and admiration from their patients and the crews they flew with.

Having been completely immersed in World War II history for the past few weeks, I will be sorry to leave these wonderful characters behind, despite a very satisfactory ending. A worthwhile series. ( )

Even though this book is the conlusion in a series I thoroughly enjoyed it on its own. It's fast pace and strong characters kept me reading long into the night. The historical facts and placement in time adds depth and richness but the transformation that happened to the people in the story created the biggest dynamic for the reader. The struggles that ensued emotionally, spiritually, and physically developed a foundation for the reader to see insights into their own life. This author uses humor, drama, and romance to add to the magnetism of the book. I highly recommend In Perfect Time and now would like to read the first two books. To get the best feel for the characters I would suggest starting with book one, With Every Letter. Sarah Sundin knows how to write a great book! ( )

One word describes this book:


WOW!

Just… WOW!

From page 1, you will be hooked! I’ve never been a fan of WWII era books but this one has made me into one!

Sarah Sundin will take hold of your heartstrings even while she’s got you on the seat of your pants – just waiting for an explosion!

I’m no WWII buff but the scenes read spot-on to me and the descriptions are wonderful. It’s like you can hear the engines drowning out everything around you! Or the salty sea air…

And the characters… ooh the characters!

There are whole worlds underneath the exterior of our Lt. Kay Jobson. She is a woman in control… or is she?

And Lt. Roger Cooper is just as complex and complicated! They say opposites attract but similar personalities rub each other the wrong way.


And oh how the sparks do fly!

Now of course, I’m dying to get books 1 & 2 so I can read more of this amazing series!

And I hope to see many more wonderful books from Sarah Sundin! You have made a fan out of me!

I received this book free in exchange for an honest review. ( )

I'm so sad to have finished the Wings of the Nightingale series, because the entire trilogy was excellent! I still hold that A Distant Melody (Wings of Glory, #1) might be one of my favorite books ever and with all that I read, this is a really saying something - so bringing on a new series, I couldn't be more delighted and excited to see what I might find within the pages of such a novel and over the top, I was not disappointed. After reading the first book in the series, With Every Letter , I had said: Giving plenty of laugh-out-loud, quit-it-I'm-going-to-cry, and down right cannot turn the pages fast enough or even would someone please watch my children so that I can just go read and see what happens next--- this was a read that I definitely did not want to miss and it was a completely delightful one a that. I'm not surprised to find myself loving it and as I finish the pages what I do find myself is devastated that I will have to wait so long for more Wings of the Nightingale series. Honestly, I want to know more about Kay...

Now, finally with In Perfect Time it was time to read about Kay. There is something about the way that Sarah Sundin writes that really makes it difficult for me to put the book down even when life needs me to get up and do things and leave the world of 1943 on the Italian coast. It is extremely rare that I give EVERY book read by an author five stars, yet that keeps happening here. Even in my review of On Distant Shores while I was reading and loving the story of Hutch and Georgie, I wanted more about Kay, then I even wrote: Absolutely for the keeper shelves, and I'm defintely looking forward to reading In Perfect Time, the story about Lt. Kay Jobson. I feel like I got to know her best in With Every Letter, but the snippets of her in On Distant Shores makes me know she has an interesting story to tell both in the past, present, and might as well add the future to that as well.

Now, finally on to Kay and Roger. My goodness, this story was worth the wait and a great way to round out the series with a perfect revisit to both Mellie and Georgie, yet also to see their own romances progress and to learn more about Kay and Roger the proclaimed singles meant to stay single for protection from their own separate pasts. Seeing God work in the lives of these characters was emotional and provided for much page turning. I could go on and on, but truly the most important part is to tell you that I truly enjoy the writing of Sarah Sundin and I just cannot get enough!

The Waves of Freedom trilogy is said to start publication in 2015 with one novel a year. How can I possibly wait? ( )
