Roads of Resistance 

By A. L. Sowards

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Romance, WW II, sweet, suspense; series, but stand alone read.
Ingrid Lang and Gerrit Hendriks story wouldn't have happened but the war brought them together unexpectedly when Ingrid and Gerrit escape Nazi Germany during the war. Gerrit escapes to his Grandfather's and Ingrid is rescued by his grandfather after breaking her legs escaping and is trapped in the Netherlands when the Netherlands is invaded. at first they are at odds with one another, Gerrit not fully trusting Ingrid's story (she is covering her real identity to hide from the Nazi's), but gradually they both realize they need to trust.
Full of the intensity of war, the courage of the Dutch to work and try to sabotage the German's war efforts, espionage, and subterfuge, along with the every day moments that make these stories come alive. The struggles for food, hiding allied soldiers who are recovering from injuries and hidden by the family, bombing, and just trying to keep up hope. The supporting characters are varied and strong, compelling story line, the setting in the war torn Netherlands, and of course the lovely hope of a couple finding each other in the midst of war. Perfect addition to this series, made for great world building.  Can't wait to read more to find out more of the other sibling's stories and their children's as they discover the real story of their families escape from the horror of the Nazi's in WW II.
I received an ARC from NetGalley, but all opinions are my own.
