In the midst of World War II, Ireland has declared herself neutral. Troops found on Irish soil must be reported and interned, no matter which side they are fighting for. When midwife Nan O'Neil finds a wounded young Canadian pilot at her door, she knows she's taking a huge risk...

In the midst of World War II, Ireland has declared herself neutral. Troops found on Irish soil must be reported and interned, no matter which side they are fighting for. When midwife Nan O'Neil finds a wounded young Canadian pilot at her door, she knows she's taking a huge risk by letting him in. Not only is she a widow living alone, but if caught harboring a combatant, she'll face imprisonment. Still, something compels Nan to take in "flyboy" Dutch Whitney, an RAF pilot whose bomber has just crashed over County Clare. While she tends to his wounds and gives him a secret place of refuge, the two begin to form a mutual affection-and an unbreakable bond. But Nan has another secret, one that has racked her with guilt since her husband's death and made her question ever loving again. As Nan and Dutch plan his escape, can he help restore her faith?

    Original time and setting

    \\r\\nIf you're looking for a traditional Christian historical romance set in World War II Ireland, you're looking in the wrong place. \\r\\n\\r\\nThe writing style reminded me of the British and Irish fiction I've enjoyed over the years from authors such as Beth Moran. There were a few too many """"she thoughts"""" for my taste, but that small weakness was more than made up for by the understated Irish humour and wordplay. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nGrounded Hearts has an irreverent Irish flavour. There are references to the rhythm method, marital relations (and relations outside marriage), and body parts. It's a long way from obscene, but conservative Christian readers may well find it offensive. \\r\\n\\r\\nBut if you're the kind of reader who's looking for fresh well-written fiction with an original plot, a little suspense, a little romance, and a lot of Irish humour, then you'll enjoy Grounded Hearts. \\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to Waterfall Press, Litfuse Publicity, and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
