Where Romance Lives
In Love and War
War is hell. That’s a given. But for the women who served on an American military base in Devon, England during World War II, it was a different kind of hell. Kay, Sally, Mary, Maggie, and Cathy -- each of them joined the cause for entirely different reasons, but none of them had any idea what lay in store. In Love and War explores the loves and losses of the women assigned to the base.
​
As the story unfolds, you will witness their evolution and the profound effect of experiences they never expected to have -- experiences that will change each of them forever.

In Love and War reviews ---
​
“A Fine Romance - It is easy to get lost in this well-written romance of nurses and doctors dealing with the stresses of a WWII military medical base. Romances happen under all kinds of circumstances and the story of these young people is heartfelt and exciting. I look forward to the next novel from Natalie Brock.” Five stars.
"Brilliant read."
“I can't imagine how one comes up with such a story and puts it together so creatively, but you did it very well and I enjoyed every page. I usually do my reading in the middle of the night to help me get sleepy, but your story had me up with its exciting twists and turns.”

“Loved this novel. It’s romantic, poignant, dramatic with two epic romances front-and-center. The characters are well-drawn and distinct. The backdrop of wartime England was perfect. I could picture the English countryside as I was reading. I didn’t want the story to end, and now that it has, I can’t stop thinking about it.”

“I quite enjoy her style of writing. All of the characters are very well flleshed out. The storytelling is very detailed as well as interesting. I hope that Miss Brock puts out more novels like this in the future. I will certainly be looking for her name in the future!”
"I couldn't put my Kindle down! The story was fantastic and I can't wait to read more books by this author. Is there a sequel in the works?"
"I was looking for something to read one day, and I happened upon this book. I have a fascinatiom in the era this was written about, so that piqued my interest right from the start. This book is beautifully written! Miss Brock has done a wonderful job! All of the charcaters are relatable on some level. I just really enjoyed reading this. I have seen from this page that Miss Brock has written two other novels. I will definitely have to check them out, as I loved the style in which she wrote this. A great book all around."
"I thoroughly enjoyed this well written emotional tale of love and loss. The characters experienced profound changes as they learned the realities of war first hand. These experiences will impact the rest of their lives. A variety of personalities from different parts of the country come together on the military base. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Natalie Brock."
"I loved this story and it was well written. It was an enjoyable read and I really liked the romances in it. This book left me wanting more and I hope there will be a sequel!"

The story takes place on a military base in Devon, England, about 20 miles inland from the coast -- the coastline of the English Channel and a boat ride from strategic sites along France’s coastline.​
​
The base is built on the campus of Devon University, which was abandoned when it lost funding during the Great Depression. The common area, which we call the Quadrangle or Quad, is surrounded by eleven buildings, including an administrative office, conference facilities, classroom training facilities, dormitories, weapons and munitions, a garage for storing and maintaining our military vehicles, a commissary, an officer’s club, a PX or base store, a chapel, and of course, a hospital. We have indoor plumbing, as well as outdoor showers for soldiers and guests who have a short layover. The woods that surround the campus serve as a natural fence for the base.
