Tsura
Let me first preface by saying , I am not a fan of historical romance. I love romance. I love erotica. But usually I only read the ones written based on recent times. However, I took a chance on Tsura and i'm actually really glad that I did. Something about it just appealed to me.
Tsura is a tale so powerfully emotional! You will feel love and passion but you will also feel anxiety and fear. The author does an astounding job of placing her reader so squarely in the scene as the story unfolds that you have to take a sec to look around and make sure you're still within the confines of your home and reading on your kindle! I was so drawn in and totally absorbed into the story and I honestly think that's probably what made me love it so much!
I wasn't too crazy about the ending feeling like it wasn't as resolved as I'd have loved It to be but have no fear, the next book is there! I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of historical romances and even those who just may enjoy historical fiction because I honestly enjoyed it for more than just the romance. Definitely a one click read!

Looks can be deceiving. At first glance the novel's cover looks as if it's advertising paranormal romance, but upon reading it I was delighted to learn that it was indeed a WWII historical romance and the woman on the cover is the gypsy, Tsura. Forced into hiding, Tsura seeks refuge with an elderly couple and a young Jewish man who she falls madly in love with. One evening she is caught by two Nazis outside her hiding place and she is sure the end is near for a gypsy like her. Luckily one of the men is her older brother's best friend and he saves the day by claiming that Tsura is his fiance. In order to secure her safety he forges her identity and marries her, but it's a marriage on paper only, he won't touch her; he knows that she is in love with the Jewish boy. Tsura finds it hard to stomach being married to a man who works for the Nazis but she has little choice. Just when they think they are figuring out how to live with their farce of marriage trouble strikes. Will they be able to stand each other? How will they survive? Is evil only in black of white or in shades of gray? A fast paced, riveting read, perfect for fans of historical romance and WWII dramas. I can't wait to dive into the sequel to see how it ends.
