Of Love and War - A novelette by Margaret Lake
July 4, 1943 – John Jameson is home from the war. The Fourth of July has always been his favorite holiday, but now he finds himself alone on the boardwalk in his New Jersey hometown. It seems like everyone he knew is either off to war or working in the factories producing the armaments of war. Along comes Julie to offer him a cold drink. Happy to have someone to spend the day with, especially one so young and beautiful, he accepts her invitation for a backyard picnic.
He has no idea what is behind Julie's seemingly innocent invitation. He has no idea that the afternoon will force him to face what he has lost and find his heart at last.
Also available in the anthology A Walk in the Woods with six other stories.
Of Love and War edition by Margaret Lake Romance eBooks
I just finished reading Of Love and War. The short story is superbly written. The story is well developed, and the characters are realistic and believable. In my opinion, this story has the potential to be a legacy for the author.Margaret Lake has written a tale that is set during World War Two. But this story could just as easily have been set during any war. In that respect, the lessons learned about relationships in this book are timeless and universal. The sexual tension between the characters was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Yet it was always tastefully handled.
The surprise ending was a masterful stroke.
I highly recommend this read.
Sincerely,
Ricky Sides

Of Love and War edition by Margaret Lake Romance eBooks Reviews
I find the glowing reviews difficult to reconcile with the story I read. The characters' emotions oscillated wildly and unbelievably, their actions in response to those emotions were unrealistic and over the top, dialog was stilted, and the "twist" at the end involving an abruptly introduced new character was frankly confusing. I gave it 2 stars because I actually finished it to the end, but if it had been any longer than it was, I would have given up. So, basically, an extra star for limiting the quantity of mediocre writing I endured. But I wouldn't bother downloading this, even for free.
Loved it - what more is there to say. Read anything Margaret Lake writes.
For $.99 it was wonderful.
A young soldier who thinks he knows himself, a younger girl who had a crush on him, the Jersey shore.
Just read it.
I enjoyed the book from the beginning up until the ending. The writing was good and the storyline had a lot of potential... I was disappointed by how the book concluded, although I certainly don't mind books that have a twist at the end, this end didn't do it for me. Luckily it was free...
. . .you know the one--the famous Times Square Kiss. That's the image that kept rolling in my mind as I read Margaret Lake's Of Love and War. The fact that this well-written short story was told in both the male and female protagonists' points of view lent the tale a richness and complexity it would not have had otherwise. The twist at the end surprised me, yet left me feeling filled with hope and inspiration.
I thoroughly enjoyed Of Love and War and will be buying more work from this author.
I don't normally read romance stories (my genres are more in the sci-fi and thriller categories), but I needed something different and took this little story for a spin. The story's not long, so if you're a voracious reader who zips through 500-page books in a day, this probably isn't for you - it's called a "novelette" for a reason. But if you're after a nice character study set against the homefront during the years during WWII (and I'm a sucker for just about anything in that period) or would like to sample a story in the romance genre without diving into an outright bodice-ripper, this is a great afternoon treat. It has enough sensuality and erotic tension to speed up your pulse, but the sexual aspects complement the story without overwhelming it the focus remains firmly on the characters.
So, if you need a romantic afternoon escape, you should definitely add this to your reading list!
