Homefront Hero
ByPublisher Description
Dashing and valiantly wounded, Captain John Gallows could have stepped straight out of an army recruitment poster. Leanne Sample can't help being impressed—although the lovely Red Cross nurse tries to hide it. She knows better than to get attached to the daring captain who is only home to heal and help rally support for the war's final push. As soon as he's well enough, he'll rush back to Europe, back to war—and far away from South Carolina and Leanne. But when an epidemic strikes close to home, John comes to realize what it
means to be a hero—Leanne's hero.

“This book is absolutely wonderful. I stopped reading LI because they were all alike but Allie has always had a twist of humor that makes her books delightful. This one is her best yet!
This book has three of my favorite things, knitting, wwI and socks for soldiers. The hero John Gallows learns to knit for a Red Cross drive with the aid of Leanne Sample. He starts on socks which are tricky and on camera no less. The romance devolving around knitting is just wonderful and what is more is historically accurate.
The 1918 flu is dealt with very well and captured the horror of it without being explicit. My Great-Great Grandfather died of it so I have a personal interest in it.
One thing that I really liked is that the internal monologs of the characters are historically accurate as well which is a big problem in romances.
One of the other things I liked was that the characters had a deep internal connection that you don't always see. Leanne is able to see through John to a almost disturbing, to him, level. There is something about their interactions that just sparkles.”
