                 I have to say that this was my favorite of the series. And it was a great ending to an awesome series. Everything tied up nicely at least it seemed like it to me. I enjoyed the trip to the Scilly isles and meeting all the characters.

       Though I have to say that Bram might just be my favorite hero from the series from his stance on bullies. That quote was my favorite from the book. And he was the one that seemed the most changed.It’s bitter sweet to end this series but I don’t think I’ll ever forget the characters I meet in these books. And the wisdom shared.

The Secrets of the Isles Book 3
Releases September 13, 2022

1906

After a summer of successful pirate-treasure hunting, Lady Emily Scofield and her friends are forced to hide the unprecedented discoveries they’ve made, thanks to the betrayal of her own family. Horrified by her brother who stops at nothing to prove himself to their greedy father, Emily is forced to take a stand against her family—even when it means being cut off entirely.

Bram Sinclair, Earl of Telford, is fascinated with tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table—an interest he’s kept mostly hidden for the last decade. But when a diary is unearthed in the islands that could lead to a secret artifact, Bram is the only one able to piece the legends together.

As Bram and Emily seek out the whereabouts of the hidden artifact, they must dodge her eager family and a team of archeologists. In a race against time, they must decide what makes a hero worthy of legend—is it fighting valiantly to claim the treasure . . . or sacrificing everything in the name of selfless love?

 Lilian Blackwell held her breath and inched along the wall, praying with every footfall that Mama wouldn't look up.

Cover Revel of Roseanna M White's final book in The Code Breaker's series: A Portrait of a Lady

The Cover for the final book in The Code Breaker series is finally here and I'm excited to read it and finish out the series.  And I just know that just like the first two in the series this is going to be another great read.


Zivon Marin was one of Russia’s top cryptographers, until the October Revolution tore apart his world. Forced to flee after speaking out against Lenin and separated from his brother along the way, he arrives in England driven by a growing anger and determined to offer his services to the Brits.

Lily Blackwell sees the world best through the lens of a camera—and possesses unsurpassed skill when it comes to retouching and recreating photographs. With her father’s connections in propaganda, she’s recruited to the intelligence division, even though her mother would disapprove.

After Captain Blackwell invites Zivon to dinner one evening, a friendship blooms between him and Lily. He sees patterns in what she deems chaos; she sees beauty in a world he thought destroyed. But both have secrets they’re unwilling to share, and no one is quite certain where Zivon's loyalties really lie—until his enemies are discovered to be far closer than he’d feared, and only Lily's skills can save him.

The Number of Love by Roseanna M White Review

Title:  The Number of Love        

Author: Roseanna M White

Series: Codebreakers book 1

 

Chapters: 33 plus epilogue

Pages: 370

Genre: Christian Historical fiction

Rating: 5 stars

The Number of Love is my 12th book by Roseanna M. White. I first discovered her books with Ring of Secrets the first book in the Culper Ring series when I was on a Revolutionary War fiction kick.  And since then I've been hooked on her books looking forward to each new book.  Roseanna's writing makes the settings and characters come alive.  I had never read an WWI historical book till her A Name Unknown.  I found things to relate in each of her characters to relate to. 

But I hadn't seen myself in a character till Margot De Wilde. Take away the mathematics and being able to quickly break code Margot could be me. The socially awkwardness feeling older than others your age.  Where Margot turned to math and codes I turned to books. 

The reason Margot is such an easy character for me to find myself in is because of something that happened to her in the book (I won't go into it because it will spoil the book) in Chapter Seven is because the same thing happened to me in almost the same way it happened to Margot. This was the chapter that had me crying while reading a book for the first time in a while. I thought reading about that in a book would bring up painful memories but instead it allowed me to finally process it as I read about Margot trying to process it. Though it hurt to see a beloved character in pain I am thankful that Roseanna included that event in the book.  Because sometimes it is easy to process things through a work of fiction than through the pages of real life.  I have to say that Drake has become by second favorite hero of Roseanna's nothing's going to knock Barclay out of favorite though. 

 The Number of Love gives a brief look behind the lines so to speak at the people who helped fight the war without setting foot on a battlefield the code-breakers.  That even those at home were helping to fight the war. 

Like all of Roseanna's previous books this one is well researched. Though with all the languages involved in this one I feel like even more research went into this one.   And as always I look forward to the next book in this series as well as catching up on reading the books of hers I have yet to read. 

I recommend this book to anyone who loves historical fiction, Christian historical fiction or books set during WWI. Though I don't think there's many historical fiction books set during WWI.  I also recommend reading her previous series first Ladies of the Manor and Shadows Over England as characters from those books make an appearance in this one.

The Toughest Puzzle She'll Have to Solve

Might Be the Wishes of Her Own Heart

Three years into the Great War, England's greatest asset is their intelligence network--field agents risking their lives to gather information, and codebreakers able to crack German telegrams for hints of the enemy's plans. Margot De Wilde thrives in the environment of the secretive Room 40, where she spends her days deciphering intercepted messages. But when her world is turned upside down by an unexpected loss, she discovers for the first time in her life that numbers aren't enough.

Drake Elton returns wounded from the field, followed by an enemy who just won't give up. He's smitten quickly by the quick and brainy Margot, but soon the dangers of the war draw ever closer. Margot and Drake will have to team up to save themselves from the very secrets that brought them together.
