Author: Roseanna M. White
Genre: Historical Romance
Publisher: Bethany House
Release Date: January 7, 2020
Against Every Warning, She's Drawn Ever Closer to the Man Known as "Black Heart"
All of England thinks Major Phillip Camden a monster--a man who deliberately caused the deaths of his squadron. But he would have preferred to die that day with his men rather than be recruited to the Admiralty's codebreaking division. The threats he receives daily are no great surprise and, in his opinion, well deserved.
As nurse Arabelle Denler observes the so-dubbed "Black Heart," she sees something far different: a hurting man desperate for mercy. And when their families and paths twist together unexpectedly, she realizes she has a role to play in his healing--and some of her own to do as well.
With Camden's court-martial looming, an old acquaintance shows up, intent on using him in a plot that sends the codebreakers of Room 40 into a frenzy. With their fragile hopes for the future in the cross hairs, Arabelle and Camden must hold on to hope--and to each other--if they want to survive.

MY THOUGHTS
On Wings of Devotion is the second installment in The
Codebreakers series by Roseanna M. White, but could be read as a standalone. The
smooth writing transported me into the setting and the characters’ minds. The perfectly
paced plot held my attention from beginning to end. I loved the beautiful
cover, the generous Arabelle, and the romance between Phillip and Ara. However,
the powerful themes in the story shined the brightest.
In both On Wings of Devotion and its predecessor, The
Number of Love, I appreciated that the author didn’t spew out easy, pat
answers about life hardships. The characters struggle for truth and victory. As
the characters grow, the novel’s powerful themes emerge. I won’t attempt to name them all, but I’ll
share a favorite quote here: “Whatever He [God] asks of us, whether it be a
fortune or a pittance or our time or our devotion, we can be sure it will be
painful. Cutting out what stands between us and God always is. But we can also
trust that in the giving, we’ll gain something far more precious. (Page 103)” I
enjoyed contemplating such wise thoughts that are peppered throughout the
story.
I recommend On Wings of Devotion by Roseanna M. White
to readers who enjoy inspirational historical fiction with the perfect blend of
mystery, romance, and character development.
