Forbidden Angel by Megan D. Martin Review, interview and Kindle Giveaway book hop!!

 
 
 
About the Book:
When captured by the Nazis, Sarah finds herself in a concentration camp that not only brings her closer to death...but closer to love.

Sarah Brenner, a young Jewish woman, is terrified when she finds herself in the heat of a railcar bound for a work camp in Nazi Germany. For years she, along with her mother and sister, had hidden from the SS, but no one could hide forever. Her hatred for those who have enslaved them is ever-growing, especially when they arrive and she encounters the shockingly handsome Nazi doctor who can’t seem to keep his eyes—or hands—off her.

Aurel Rothstein is not your everyday concentration camp physician. The endless prisoners and lack of care he's allowed to give have made him numb to the work he so coveted. It isn’t until he comes face to face with a beautiful prisoner that his heart becomes involved with his job—a forbidden and fatal move to any Nazi.

When a vile soldier takes direct interest in Sarah, she will be forced to make a choice that will change her life forever: ignore the pull toward the handsome doctor or give in to the forbidden passion he awakens with only a look. Either way they both risk everything...

My Review:
 
I read about Anne Frank and I think that the Jewish people were treated very bad.  I have never thought of a "good guy" at the concentration camps. My great uncle was a POW in WWII and I have always felt strongly against Hitler. With all that being said I liked this book. It gave me hope that there were some good people helping the prisoners. That small dash of hope made this book worth reading. It was also a story about survival and strength, against all odds. I liked Aurel as a person, but disliked him as a German doctor. However if Sarah can love him, then I guess I can like him. The relationship between Sarah and her family was done is such a way that you could tell they were a loving family. There was a lot of sadness in this book, but that is true to history. The author perfectly balanced sadness and hope. This book definitely made me think. I am giving this book a 4/5 because I thought that it could have not been so sad. This is hard not to spoil. I just think that bad things should happen to less important characters. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own!

  2. I haven't read any romance stories set during this time period or location. When I was in school, I did read a few books about the WWII and concentration camps but none of them really had romances or forbidden love in them. I am very interested in this book though :)
