Publisher's Summary:

German-occupied Brussels, Belgium. December 1915

Rose Culver is in grave danger. For months the Red Cross head nurse has been aiding Allied soldiers caught behind enemy lines, helping them flee into neutral Netherlands. It's only a matter of time until she's caught. Which makes it the wrong time to fall in love with a handsome German military doctor as devoted to the sanctity of human life as she is.

The Great War has caused Dr. Herman Geoff to question everything he once believed. He knows Rose has been hiding British soldiers in her hospital - he's even treated some of them, refusing to go against his own hippocratic oath. As a doctor, he admires Rose's skill and conviction. As a man, he can no longer deny his attraction to her. But when Rose is arrested for treason, Herman must choose between love for her and duty to his country

3.5 Stars

Set in Belgium during 1915, Aiding the Enemy centers around Rose Culver, a British nurse for the Red Cross whoâs been working in a German-occupied hospital. Rose is patient, kind, and has a real passion for what she does. Her patients always come first, no matter what their country of origin. She patches up battered soldiers with no regard for her own well-beingâmany times, forgetting to eat and getting little sleep in the process.

Dr. Herman Geoff is a German surgeon working at the hospital with Rose. Heâs attracted to her caring manner and her superior nursing skills. Very early in the book, itâs obvious to everyone except Rose that Dr. Geoff has more than a passing interest in her. For her part, Rose is also attracted to him, but she tries to maintain the expected level of professionalism between them.

When Dr. Geoff finds out Rose has been helping British soldiers escape back to their homelands, he looks the other wayâuntil she is arrested for treason.

*************Spoiler Alert: DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. ************

Okay, donât say I didnât warn you. Here we go.

You still have a chance to look away. No? Okay.

Dr. Geoff decides he just canât be without Rose. So, he comes up with a brilliant plan to bust her out of jail, marry her, and escape to the Netherlands, which is a neutral country. Rose vehemently objects because she feels heâs marrying her for the wrong reasons. Also, she doesnât want to risk his life by involving him in her escape. Eventually, he convinces her and they flee together.

They have two close calls where theyâre almost captured, but in the end, they make it out safely. I thought Rose was a little hard-headed and frankly, nave to keep running away from Dr. Geoff, but other than that, I found her to be a likeable heroine. Dr. Geoff seemed pretty one-dimensional to me until he had to amputate his brotherâs arm. Then, I got a glimpse into the tragic emotions he was battling. One thing I did notice was that there wasnât a lot of history in here. The story mostly centered around Roseâs romance with Dr. Geoff. If you like historical romances, this one is pretty good.

War Girls 3

I like war romances. The thought of two people finding love in a time of fear and danger really appeals to me so I was quite looking forward to reading this novella.
