With Every Letter by Sarah Sundin is Book 1 in the Wings of the Nightingale series.
Lt. Mellie Blake is looking forward to beginning her training as a flight nurse. She is not looking forward to writing a letter to a man she’s never met–even if it is anonymous and part of a morale-building program. Lt. Tom MacGilliver, an officer stationed in North Africa, welcomes the idea of an anonymous correspondence–he’s been trying to escape his infamous name for years.
As their letters crisscross the Atlantic, Tom and Mellie develop a unique friendship despite not knowing the other’s true identity. When both are transferred to Algeria, the two are poised to meet face-to-face for the first time. Will they overcome their fears and reveal who they are, or will their future be held hostage by their pasts?
Combining a flair for romance with excellent research and attention to detail, Sarah Sundin vividly brings to life the perilous challenges of WWII aviation, nursing–and true love.

My With Every Letter Book Review:
This book is a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The story follows Mellie as she trains to be a flight nurse. She is asked by her boss to write an anonymous letter to a soldier. She agrees to do it one time. To her surprise, the soldier writes back. He wants to continue writing, but to keep everything anonymous. Since Mellie is so shy and doesn’t want him to know the real her, she agrees.
Without giving away too much of the story, they become great friends and eventually meet. At first they don’t know who the other is, but one of them figures out who the other is. They don’t reveal it, though. So they continue writing, with one knowing who the other is, and one not knowing. As you can imagine, this leads to some misunderstandings. I don’t want to give away the ending, so I’ll stop. 🙂 I’m now anxiously waiting for Book 2!
