Description
Three years into the Great War, England’s greatest asset is their intelligence network—field agents risking their lives to gather information, and codebreakers able to crack every German telegram. Margot De Wilde thrives in the environment of the secretive Room 40, where she spends her days deciphering intercepted messages. But when her world is turned upside down by an unexpected loss, for the first time in her life numbers aren’t enough.
Drake Elton returns wounded from the field, followed by an enemy that just won’t give up. He’s smitten quickly by the too-intelligent Margot, but how to convince a girl who lives entirely in her mind that sometimes life’s answers lie in the heart?
Amidst biological warfare, encrypted letters, and a German spy who wants to destroy not just them, but others they love, Margot and Drake will have to work together to save them all from the very secrets that brought them together.
The Codebreakers, Book 1
Roseanna M. White is a bestselling, Christy Award winning author who has long claimed that words are the air she breathes. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two kids, editing, designing book covers, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew of historical novels that span several continents and thousands of years. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to find their way into her books…to offset her real life, which is blessedly ordinary.

The characters of Roseanna White’s newest release drew me in and the suspense kept me turning pages. I greatly appreciated the amount of research behind this romantic historical fiction. The work of the codebreakers included is interesting and also a good reminder of the sacrifice made by these individuals and the danger involved for them and their families. Of course, these characters, their lives, their families and their struggles became the heart of this novel for me. I think that White successfully communicated that God not only creates us as individuals but also interacts with each of us in unique and creative ways. Fans of Roseanna White will enjoy the return of characters from her previous books, but new fans will have no problem connecting with these characters. I am planning to read the next book in this codebreakers series because I can’t wait to see what happens to these characters! I was given a copy of this book by the publisher. All opinions are my own.
