Description
Her country needs her. But her heart is elsewhere.
After fleeing German-occupied Paris, Alix is back in her home in Belgrade, hoping to finally reunite with her parents. But while Alix has been fighting her own battles with the Resistance, her parents have too fled with King Peter to ensure his safety. As Alix decides to find her parents with her father’s deputy steward, Drago, they are derailed and forced to reside in the Serbian country home.
But all is not lost when Alix finds Nikola in the city - the man her father said she was to marry before war broke out. She finds she has more in common with him than ever expected, and together with Drago they join a new Resistance.
But Alix hasn’t forgotten about Steve, the handsome American pilot she fell in love with back in France, whom she last heard was harmed in battle. When a chance meeting brings Alix and Steve face to face once again, she must decide where her heart truly is…
Fans of Suzanne Kelman and Fiona Valpy will love this captivating, globe-trotting, deeply rich historical fiction set in World War Two.

A Call To Service follows Alix, a brave woman caught in the middle of conflicting loyalties and passionate desires.
During World War II, the story picked up shortly after Alix's escape from German-occupied Paris. Going back to her home in Belgrade, she wanted to reunite with her parents, who had fled with the Serbian King for his safety.
The relationships between the characters were beautifully woven into the story, providing more depth to the story. Alix's chemistry with both Nikola and Steve was palpable, and their interactions were laced with both heartache and hope.
The pacing of the book was steady. The plot was intertwined with personal stories and the larger historical side, I remained engaged and eager to uncover the characters' fates.

A wonderful story of romance, adventure, and resistance. I can’t wait to read the next book! I want more!

The attention to detail makes the story so compelling.
It was easy to pick up Alix’s story again as she heads back to Belgrade to meet up with her parents only to find a surprise instead.
As the Germans are invading Alix decides to make for the family home in the country.
Alix is a born leader as we found out in book one, now she gets a chance to step up when she joins the new resistance. where the leader Tito has women alongside him much to the disgust of Nikola (the man Alix’s father had arranged for her to marry)
There are some great characters, Mitra who is brave and daring. Duane Hudson and Steve, hope to hear more of him in next book.
I love a book that makes you look up information, namely King Peter which was really interesting.
