Until Our Time Comes by Nicole M. Miller

American horse trainer Adia Kensington is living her dream of working at the famous Janów Podlaski stables in Poland, where they breed the best Arabian horses in the world. But her plans to bring the priceless stallion Lubor to the US are derailed when the German army storms into her adopted country in 1939. Little does she know this is just the beginning of six long years of occupation that will threaten her beloved horses at every turn.

 
Bret Conway is at Janów Podlaski under the guise of a news reporter, but his true mission is intelligence gathering for the British. That and keeping Adia safe, which is harder and harder to do as she insists they must evacuate 250 horses to save them from being stolen, sold, or eaten by the invading forces. What follows will test their physical, mental, and emotional strength, as well as their faith in God, humankind, and each other.

This book had be hooked at the beginning.  Adia was very headstrong about protecting her beloved horses.  Bret is persuaded to promise to keep Adia safe from the invading forces.  Which also means keeping the horses safe.  They try to escape with the horses, but are turned back.  They witness all kinds of destruction along the way. The stables are taken over by the Germans. 

The story spans six years.  The beginning to the end of WWII.  You need to read this book to see how Bret assists the resistance and gathers his information and to see how Adia gets involved in espionage as well.

What We Hide by Colleen Coble Coble/Rick Acker

I've read quite a few books by Colleen Coble and thoroughly enjoyed them.  I hate to say that I didn't enjoy this book.  Savannah and Hez are married. But have been separated for several years because of the death of their daughter.  Hez cleans up his act and walks back into Savannah's life expecting her to welcome him back with open arms.  I thought he was rather arrogant.  He mellowed out towards the end of the book.  Savannah needs a good lawyer so she asks Hez to represent her.  I found myself skimming pages while I was reading.  It seemed to take a long time to get anywhere.  It picked up about 3/4th of the way through.

This is a fast paced mystery with several twists and turns.  I enjoyed reading it.  A good ending to this series about the Harmon cousins.
