Richard is a soldier. He obeys orders...
...until he sees her.

He never wanted to be a Wehrmacht soldier, he’d much rather stick his nose into a book.

But Hitler’s war thrust him deep into Russia on the Eastern Front when he was but sixteen years old.

Two years later and he’s learned to silence his own conscience to stay alive. He closes his ears, eyes, and mind to what’s going on around him. Hanging on to his life for just another day, never once questioning his orders.

But this changes the moment he sees her.

She works for the Polish resistance, saving her life is a crime against Führer and Fatherland. When fate reunites them at his most vulnerable time in life, he must choose: Fight for his country or become a traitor of conscience.

Once he crosses the line, there’s no way back…
…and neither his friends nor his enemies will approve of his decision.

Is the love of one woman enough to go up against the rest of the world?

If you don't read another WW2 book this year, you need to read Trouble Brewing, because it's a story of love and humanity during a time of war and brutality.

About the Author

Marion Kummerow was born and raised in Germany, before she set out to "discover the world" and lived in various countries. In 1999 she returned to Germany and settled down in Munich where she's now living with her family. After dipping her toes with non-fiction books, she finally tackled the project dear to her heart. UNRELENTING is the story about her grandparents, who belonged to the German resistance and fought against the Nazi regime. It's a book about resilience, love and the courage to stand up and do the right thing. All her books feature strong main characters facing a moral dilemma, and the answer is never easy or obvious. To get a taste of her writing, you can download a free short story about a downed British airman here: http://kummerow.info/newsletter-2

Marion Kummerow writes historical fiction that explores the dark side of human history. A USA Today Bestselling author, she has received rave reviews from readers and critics for her novels about the German resistance during World War II. Her books feature characters who face moral dilemmas, make difficult decisions, and fight for what is right. She also infuses her stories with humor and undying love, because she believes that love is what makes the world go round.

Born and raised in Germany, Marion has lived in various countries before returning to Munich with her family. After writing several non-fiction books, she felt drawn to the past and the subject of resistance to the Nazi regime. It took her years of courage and hard work to turn the true story of her grandparents Ingeborg and Hansheinrich Kummerow into a trilogy: “Love and Resistance in the Second World War”. UNRELENTING is the first book in this series.

Bringing history to life through her books is Marion’s passion. She visits museums, travels to memorials and the locations in her books, reads original source material, and consults experts to meticulously research the historical facts and details in her novels.

Her stories are authentic and immersive, transporting readers to another time and place. She writes with the conviction that we must never forget the past, so it won’t repeat itself.

When she’s not writing or researching, Marion likes to travel, do yoga, and spend time with her family. She also enjoys reading books by other historical fiction authors.

Another big hit from Marion Kummerow! This time the story shifts from the Klaussen girls to their brother, Richard. He is a soldier in the German army and has some harrowing experiences before finding himself in Poland, on a farm with a single girl. They fall in love, in bed, in trouble. Her brothers are with the Polish resistance. They don't trust Richard, but just work with them to get family out of the near by Nazi camp. With guts and fear, they succeed.

I usually stick to the Kindle Unlimited books but I can't imagine not reading the complete set in this series. Each book is well written with characters you love getting to know.
Each book can be read independently but reading in sequence is definitely better.
Definitely highly recommended.

This is the 4th book in the series.
I liked this story as it was about Lotte’s brother who was in the army .
Most stories deal with the ladies so this was a change.
It was a short story and only took a couple of hours to read.
I’m looking forward to the 5th book.

Wehrmacht soldier Richard Klausen thinks he has experienced all the horror of war after serving on the Soviet front line. But his next assignment in Poland is worse. He sees the atrocities the SS inflict on the civilian population which turns him against his side.

His quick thinking saves a Polish girl, Karen, from rape and possible death. He can't get her out of his mind. When they next meet, she saves him. She provides shelter and cover for him at her family’s farm which she is managing.

Far from finding peace, Richard is faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges, including Karen's resistance-fighting brother Stan. When Karen hears nearby prisoners are to be sent east, she wants to save her relatives. The task is easier said than done.

There's an exquisite tightening and easing of tension throughout this love story that makes it hard to put down. The main characters are emotionally engaging and I cared what happened to them.

Trouble is the fourth in the War Girl series but could be read as a stand-alone. I've read the others and recommend them.

I have an interest in this period of history, especially in finding books written from the viewpoint of the Germans. I enjoyed this book and read it in almost one sitting. It is well researched and atmospheric and conveys the horror of war through the eyes of a young soldier. The love story is touching and I kept my fingers crossed for a good ending. I'll go on to read the others and have posted about it in my on-line book club.
