Reclusive and not afraid to die, he rescues children out of an increasingly dangerous Germany. When his childhood best friend appears at his door, he's not the boy she remembers.
Eleanor Finch's life ended sixteen years ago. In one horrible day, she lost her dreams, her reputation, and her heart. However, she never gives up the hope of finding her friend, so when she learns of Ben's whereabouts, she leaves all that is familiar to convince him to return home.
But Eleanor isn't the only person searching for Ben. Hunters follow her trail. The thin veil of gossip and rumor may be their only chance of a future ... unless the Loch Ness Monster is real after all.

MY REVIEW
I was engaged in the story from the beginning. The setting in Scotland and the discussion of the Loch Ness Monster were a nice addition as a backdrop. The story takes place as the Nazi's in Germany make it difficult for certain classes to leave. Ben, being a recluse in Scotland because of his past, decides to work to free the children in Germany.
Parts of the story are heartbreaking. The complicated relationship between Ben and Eleanor creates a lot of tension but produces an inspirational, faith-based romantic outcome that weaves another unexpected situation. There were some twists I didn't see coming. I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. The characters were interesting with many layers.
I loved the ending, which had some surprises and was not what I expected, but wrapped up everything nicely—a great story and one I highly recommend.
I received a complimentary copy from the author; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.
