Ladies and gents, today's ebook of choice and blog tour guest...
Sisters of the Resistance

About the book...
Paris, 1942: Two sisters in Paris had their lives torn apart. Now they must choose – save themselves, or fight the Nazis to the very end…
I’d given up everything to fight for the Resistance. But nothing prepared me for discovering my sister was a traitor. Kept by a Nazi SS officer, outwardly she barely resembles my beloved Justine anymore.
But I guessed her secret. About her beautiful, fragile little child. The baby she’ll do anything to protect. And I believe that deep down she still knows what is right.
As the Nazis threaten everything we ever held dear, I know I have one chance. I must convince her to betray the evil she seems to have chosen. I need her to find her true self once more.
Because I need her to join the fight…
Could you choose your country – and what is right – over the person you once loved more than anyone in the world?
Unmissable, heartbreaking, gripping WW2 fiction, perfect for fans of Soraya M. Lane, Ellie Midwood and Jean Grainger.

Once upon a time, I read the first book in this series...and I was ripped apart. The danger and uncertainty, the violence and heart stopping moments, the times you didn't know how they could carry on and yet they still managed to...all pieced together, it made for one heck of a story.
This follow up is no slacker either. From page one, you're thrown right back into the thick of things, so if you needed a refresher, or chose not to read the first one for one reason or another, you won't be lost; in fact, I was having a bit of a deja vu moment when I first started reading this one BECAUSE it plops you right back in the closing scenes of the first. From there, you're on your own, or rather you're riding out the story between the two sisters and the very different, and yet only just, trajectory their life paths have taken. While they both felt they had lost the other, the truth of the matter couldn't have been any more different. They both made choices given the circumstances they were in, and for better or worse, they have to live with the consequences. Can the bond of sisterhood heal the wounds inflicted by war? Is there any way for a lost soul to return to the beautiful life they once lived when the landscape has changed so much?
Step into the pages of history for a story you won't soon forget filled with characters you'll want to remember. It's dark, and violent at times, but such are the results of war. The important thing to remember is that victory is never out of reach as long as one still has HOPE.

Hello, Gina, from Jina! I loved your review of Sisters of the Resistance! Thank you for your amazing support and kind words. As you mentioned, the story has its dark moments because of the times. Here is a video I made with more b.g for you: re writing the story. I drew upon my own experiences to give depth, emotion and truth to what the Beaufort Sisters went through… more in my video on Facebook here:
