“Do not decide what I can handle. All I want is honesty. If you’re going to steal a kiss, you’d better explain why I’m not good enough.” Tears pricked her eyes, and she batted against them. “I deserve that”.
A heartwarming WWII historical from award-winning author Cara Putman:
In the midst of World War II, when the Navy WAVES give Evelyn Happ the chance to get out of Washington, DC, and contribute to the war effort, she can’t leave fast enough. The fact that she can use her college degree to contribute to the war effort makes the assignment even better. She arrives in Dayton, Ohio, to learn the engineers and military professionals don’t take her seriously at all. Why is it so hard to believe that she’s more than a pretty face?
Mark Miller believes the WAVES are an unneeded distraction - the top secret project he’s assigned to is critical to the war and he and his team must focus on cracking the enigma code. Nothing they try works until a beautiful ensign offers solutions that help the engineers succeed in their mission. He’s not sure what to think about her, but has to admit that she’s brilliant enough to see the problem from a fresh perspective. He’s never met anyone like her and wants to know more.
When the actions of a spy put both Mark and Evelyn under suspicion, their loyalties to the country and each other are tested. Will their blossoming relationship survive, or be another casualty of war?

I felt a bit like a spy myself as I felt the tension and pressure put on the team of engineers to crack the code. I loved how smart Evelyn was, and how she fought to be able to use her skills. Mark was a gentleman, but sometimes his indecisiveness made me want to knock some sense into him. The romance was sweet, and I love the relationship between Evelyn and Mark's mother.
I also enjoyed seeing a woman who full heartedly believed in science also learn to give her heart to the Lord.
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who loves WWII history. This is a unique aspect of the war not seen as much in history books, but the work of these people should be known.
I enjoyed listening to this book for both content and narrator. I will admit the dog got a few extra walks so I could finish it!
I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

I enjoyed getting to “spend time” with Mark’s family again and I really liked his mom. Since I had a grandmother who served in the military, I liked this glimpse into the work of the WAVES. Also, I liked the presentation of Dayton, OH. I’m kind of a book nerd, so I get curious about the process of the author—the research they do, etc.
I think Cara did a good job developing even secondary characters and making each person interesting and a real part of the story. I definitely would recommend this book and the others in the series.
So excited to have this audio book!!
