The Enemy Between Us by Melinda Sue Sanchez, Blog Tour & Giveaway!

By Books Are Sanity!!! -




Book Summary:

As war tears her country apart, Franca Chessari's sole focus is on supporting her family amid Nazi occupation. But when her parents, both high-ranking partisans, go missing, Franca is compelled to take action---even if it means crossing enemy lines to save those she loves. 

Peter Weimer is a German soldier forced into a war he abhors. When he can take no more of the Nazi atrocities he’s been forced to witness, he deserts the German army—a decision that brands him as an enemy. 

Franca and Peter were nothing more than two strangers from enemy countries, but when their paths collide amid the horrors of war, they are swept into an epic journey of chilling danger, unparalleled courage, and a sweeping passion that could cost them everything they have fought for.
My Review:

 I absolutely loved this World War II forbidden love story. Sanchez includes the perspective of both Franca and Peter and it broadened the story for me. Franca was such an endearing character and I felt her struggles and pain along with her. Sanchez does a phenomenal job emoting what it was like to live during a war and having your life turned completely upside down. I felt like I was living alongside Franca because it felt so real. The struggles, the fear, the battle to not have feelings for an enemy soldier, the desire to be useful and valuable, I felt it like I was there. Bravo to Sanchez for writing a gripping and emotional story that kept me turning pages until the very end.


Happy Reading!!!
