Annabelle McCormack’s debut novel, Windswept, is a beautifully written, well-researched nail biter. Focused on a rather underrepresented time and place in history, Palestine during WWI, we follow the story of Ginger Whitman, a nurse on the front lines. Ginger is committed to caring for the wounded and determined to help her country, but when she saves the life of a mysterious soldier hidden in her camp, she’s thrown into a web of lies and intrigue. Trusting the wrong person could prove to be a fatal mistake. With the arrival of a handsome British intelligence officer, Noah Benson, Ginger struggles to unravel the truth – before she loses her heart or her life.
This book checked all my boxes, from the fast-paced adventure, to the vivid setting, to the sexy romance. Five stars, and the sequel please!
