“Two people. Two cultures. One love. One war.”

This was the one sentence which instantly drew me too the book, after reading this one line I definitely wanted to read this book. I'm a sucker for a good romance story and knowing fully well that this would be one I was pretty excited to read it.

The story is about two people who fall in love with each other despite coming from different cultures/races. Against their families wishes the couple elope and this is when the war begins between the two countries. Maddie and Lane have known each other for a long time, with Lane being Maddie’s brother’s best friend. They get married and after a while the Japanese bomb pearl Harbour (Lane is Japanese), war then breakouts between the two nations and because of their different cultures Lane and Maddie find it difficult to be together. Both Lane and Maddie have to try and fight for their love while the rest of the world tries to tear them apart.

I really enjoyed reading this book, and I instantly liked the characters too, it's a love story but there's so much more to it than that. The book goes through a lot of emotion and it is definitely worth the read.
