RueAnn Boggs meets Charles Tolliver, a handsome Brit with a secret job, and in the course of twenty-four hours, RueAnn is swept off her feet—seduced, wed, and then left by dashing Charlie, who hastily departs for an assignment in England. When weeks go by and she hears nothing from her new husband, RueAnn becomes determined to find out if she’s a wife in name only, and she travels to London for answers. But what she finds there is not at all what she expects… Susan Blunt has spent her life staying put, retreating into her books while her vivacious twin sister, Sara, lives life to the fullest. The start of the war hasn’t stopped vibrant Sara from collecting a throng of beaus in uniform, including Paul Overdone, an RAF pilot heading for the front. When Sara pressures Susan into switching places and going to a dance with Paul, Susan reluctantly agrees. Little does Susan know that a single night is more than enough time to fall deeply in love with Paul—who returns her ardor, even though he thinks she is someone else… When the Blitz begins and bombs start raining down on London, both RueAnn and Susan must find the strength and courage they never knew they had in order to survive. They form a friendship out of the city’s ashes, one that helps them weather the storm as they wait for news from the front—from the men they love, have lost, and hope desperately to find once more. Set against the backdrop of a remarkable era, INTO THE STORM brilliantly explores relationships in wartime, when the passion shared in just one day could sustain love for a lifetime and the love borne of one night’s deception could become the truth that saves a life. “Lisa Bingham is a master storyteller.” —AFFAIRE DE COEUR

I enjoy stories with lots of character dialogue By Murphy-Owen Ms. Bingham's writing style in the novel "Into the Storm" captured my attention immediately. I enjoy stories with lots of character dialogue, both internal dialogue, and that which is expressed aloud. Being theatrical, I long to hear the voice of each character to truly relate and find myself engaged in the storyline. The book starts with a beautifully written letter from RueAnn to a mysterious "Dearest J." The letters expressed throughout the novel share deep insights into the characters who penned them. I loved the letters and all of the dialogue throughout the whole book! The voices of the characters in "Into the Storm" are rich and satisfying.The setting of this story was intriguing. WWII was an epic event in history that left none untouched. There are so many different stories to be told, and so much to learn in so many different areas of the world during this trying time, I find this particular story of the women left behind during the London Blitz a welcome addition to the many WWII novels already in print. I appreciated the insight into the little daily inconveniences, the trials of the air raids, and the resillience of the people through unspeakable horror and tragedy. I feel the author truly did her research and understood the time period well.I appreciated the structure of this novel. Parts of the story were presented through letters that shared thoughts and feelings through the past as well as the present. We were transported from place to place through the chapter progression, and the pace was exceptional--never a chance to get bored!I have debated on how to rate this book, because, as I have stated above, there are so many things I like about this book! I must confess my reservations about officially giving it a four-star rating, (which is a very high rating for me--I don't give that very often at all). I am not a prude, however, I really wish the explicit details of the intimate relationships could have left a little more to my imagination. I have a very vivid imagination and I like it when authors give me a few ideas and then allow me the opportunity to fill in the blanks with as much or as little detail as I desire. When stories are told in this way, I feel better about recommending the wonderful books to my dear aunties, my daughter, and my close friends who are always looking for an inspirational, educational, or fun read. "Into the Storm" is a great story, and I think my loved ones would enjoy it, if they could make it through the intimate scenes right at the beginning, and then again at the end of the book. Those who follow my book ratings know that I enjoy reading a wide variety of books, and they trust that anything I give a four-star rating will meet their strict moral standards. I believe this story would be just as wonderful without the intimate romantic details. I wish I could highly recommend it to everyone.I wish there was a clear-cut formula on how to rate books. If I was just rating the author's story-telling talent, I'd give the book a 4-star rating. When rating a book, however, my rating encompasses not only the author's talent, but my feelings about the storyline, the morals and values, and how I relate to the story.I enjoyed almost every aspect of this book! I love the characterizations in every Lisa Bingham novel I have read, and I look forward to reading more of her stories in the near future.

The insta-love between the leads and their beaus was hard to stomach, and I just couldn’t connect to their respective characters. I felt some kinship with Susan with her quiet, wallflower personality; I have that myself to a degree. But I found myself having to force myself to continue reading at times.Yet, once Rueann got over to Britain and I got to see in depth life under the Blitz, my interest peaked and I was sucked in. The author does an incredible job at portraying intimately the dangers these British people faced and triumphed over. I really enjoyed her gift with imagery: the mannequins in the bombed out street, the hand of a loved one sticking out of a pile of rubble, the screams of the wounded as they go through harsh burn treatment, and the heartbreaking image of a messenger bringing the dreaded telegram telling of another loss.After the story got rolling further, I found myself liking Rueann and Susan far more. I don’t know if it was because the setting had changed and become so stark or not. Both girls showed a deep well of strength and resourcefulness that I found admirable. They both became the hubs for their respective families, and I liked how devoted they became to everyone around them. The author also portrayed their more vulnerable sides, the moments of doubt and fear that everyone feels in such circumstances. I could see myself in both girls which is a plus for any novel.As for their relationships with their respective loves, I still am a bit ambivalent to a degree. I could never really connect with Susan and Paul. I almost feel like it incorporated too much melodrama, the whole mistaken identity and who Paul really loved from the beginnings things didn’t help matters. I guess I just rolled my eyes too often and skimmed their parts to go to the next.Charlie and Rueann, though, I grew to like. I think the letters they wrote to each other without any expectation of delivery were very touching. And I really liked the idea that Charlie fell in love with Rueann through her darkest secrets. He pretty much saw into her literal soul and fell in love with that in addition to her outer shell too. So at least I was able to get behind one of the main relationships.I would recommend this book for its portrayal of the British during the Blitz alone. Its stark reality brings home the pain and incredible danger the average Brit faced during this time. Yet, I grew to like the two leads as well, even if it took a while after the story started to do so. I liked their strength and devotion through the horrors of war. The romances were OK. Paul’s and Susan’s I didn’t care all that much for, but Charlie’s and Rueann’s I grew to adore. This is a work of WWII fiction I’d recommend to any reader of the genre; it’s a very enjoyable read.Note: Book received for free from publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

If you like books where you get to know a lot about the characters before jumping into the meat of the story, then you may find yourself struggling a bit with this one. The writing is clear and concise, but I still found I had to keep going back to figure out who was who, until well into the story.The novel has a lot going for it, both memories from the past and the current parts of the character's lives are interesting, but I did have a few issues with it. I didn't feel that the relationships and conversations amongst the characters always felt genuine.I did like the way the author fit pieces together that at first didn't seem to make much sense. Whislt reading this, you will no doubt have a few "aha" moments as the book progresses.Overall, I thought this was a complex story with a lot going for it, but there were opportunities to make the characters more important to the reader that I thought were missed.Still a good book. A nice combination of thoughtful writing and excellent descriptions.This review is based on a complimentary copy from the publisher and provided through Netgalley. All opinions are my own.
