My name is Sylvie Duchene and I am a dancer. There is no network. I am just a dancer. I know nothing. Please…I swear it…

An unknown location, occupied France, 1944

Dropping silently behind enemy lines, Sylvia Crichton, codename Monique, is determined to fight for the country of her birth and save it from its Nazi stranglehold.

As one of the dancers at the nightclub Mirabelle, Sylvie’s mission is to entertain the club’s German clientele and learn their secrets. In a world of deception and lies, she can trust no one. Not even Mirabelle’s enigmatic piano player Felix… a part of the resistance or a collaborator?

But despite her SOE training, nothing can prepare Sylvie for the horrors she is about to face – or the pain of losing those she grows closer to undercover…

This is a gripping romance set in occupied France during WW2 for fans of Pam Jenoff !

I could have done without the sexual situations and I fast forwarded several times and missed nothing . When the audio was actually about espionage and war and nazi it was great. I wish author had stayed on task and gotten rid of the fluff of sexual tension. I was not really interested in a romantic audio. I noticed that once you rate the book with the stars it cannot be revised. Narrator was excellent but I should have rated it with 3 stars . But kudos for no profanity

Good ww2 story

I really enjoy historical fiction but occasionally the stories of the suffering of us those who endured the atrocities of the nazis, or were part of WW2 resistance is too heartbreaking even though it is ‘fiction”. The reader did an absolutely outstanding job! And- the story was historically accurate without being too sad. I also really enjoyed the romance. It’s not for everyone- but it kept thing’s lively!

Not too heavy

The story is riveting and the narrative is excellent. If one enjoys WWII era stories this should be a must read.

A great story

This was a good book. It kept my attention the whole way through and was kind of a thriller/spy story as well as a romance. Some readers have objected to these sexual scenes, but I thought they were fine and worked in the book to me. I liked that it had more actual war situations as well as romance.

I just couldn't make it through 1/3 of this book without falling asleep. Just dragged on and on with nothing to hold my attention. Disappointing.

BORING
