It's January 1955, hostilities of the Korean War ended some eighteen months earlier. The Cold War is entering a new phase as Europe continues to improve after the desolation of WWII. For Victoria Shannon though, this is not her concern as she prepares to begin a fairytale life with her very own Prince Charming. Unfortunately things are not always as they seem as she finds herself abandoned in Cortina, Italy. Victoria is now faced with a decision; return to New York with her tail between her legs or show the Europeans what a woman from Hell's Kitchen is capable of. With the majestic Dolomites as a background, she is befriended by a sympathetic and compassionate staff plus several military officers from both Italy and the United States. As the Cold War evolves around this group of newly formed friends it becomes evident that allies may not be who they appear to be and that enemy may be closer than they think. This is the first book of the Cold War series by Leo Peterson.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightfully intriguing first novel
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023

I am not generally drawn to historical fiction, but from the first chapter, I found myself intrigued by the story, the adventure, and most especially by the characters, who are well-drawn and likeable. I could not put this book down, and look forwards to the second volume!

5.0 out of 5 stars A dynamic cast of characters and complex situations
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2022
I loved Peterson’s engaging approach to historical fiction! The author exceeded my expectations, creating a dynamic cast of characters and complex situations that kept this reader riveted. I highly enjoyed the relationships that developed among the various characters. The author established a theme of looking beyond the surface of a person to discover the heart within. Many of the vibrant characters in this novel held a host of secrets under the surface, and I loved learning who they were and empathizing with the pain they felt. The revelation of the human qualities of each character made them more realistic. I loved how the book captured the essence of the band of brothers and how war tests loyalties and brings unlikely heroes together in unbreakable bonds.

I also appreciated the author’s easy-to-understand writing style. Peterson incorporated many societal situations, revealing the political undercurrent of the time without allowing the writing to become dull, dry, and cumbersome. I liked that his novel focused on the relationships between the characters and added historical information as necessary to enhance the scene, rather than drown the reader in a long exposition that slowed down the pacing and made the book feel more like a nonfiction narrative. The story remained riveting, keeping me guessing and wondering how all the complications would affect Victoria and Johnny in the end. I also loved how the author got me attached to the many minor characters! Each played simple roles but felt like friends and family by the end.

I look forward to continuing this series because the author made me feel so invested in the characters that I can’t wait to see what’s next for them! I recommend this historical fiction novel to readers who enjoy steamy romance stories and endearing characters. This novel contains non-borderline swearing, moderately erotic content, and mentions several abusive situations. While this book is the first in the Cold War Series, readers can enjoy it as a novel with a satisfying conclusive ending and promises of more exciting things to come!

I received a review copy of this book and was not required to write a positive review. My opinions are my own.

This book was wonderful. I loved how Leo Peterson combined the history and lifestyle of the characters. His descriptions were spot on. I felt like I was there with them. The love story was only a part of it. It was a page turner for me. I am looking forward to his second book. Great job!
