Editorial Reviews

Review

"The tension throughout this novel is high. The mystery is intriguing up to the very end and the romance hits every note."
~ ReadnGrow

"Superb with beautiful imagery, and so much tension it hurt to swallow."
~ MC Dalton, author of Epona and Iron Heart

"The flow of her writing is a delight to me, elegant and soothing, woven like fine linen."
~ Margherita Crystal Lotus, author of The Color Game

"In the movie Field of Dreams, there is a now famous line, "If you build it, they will come." Apply this sentiment to Joslyn Chase--if she writes it, we will come and read it. A marvelous journey."
~ William DeProspo, author of Unlikely Outcome

"Excellent suspense love story with twists and turns I never saw coming. Highly recommend."
~ Maria, reader (Amazon.com)

From the Author

I love stories set against the backdrop of World War II, especially when they're filled with high suspense and intrigue. My book, The Tower, is such a story and it's a favorite of mine.

One reason is that I wrote it while sitting at my writing desk in the very setting of the book, a magnificent house just outside the castle wall of a beautiful medieval village in Bavaria. What a marvelous experience that was!

Another reason I love this book is that it's just so irresistibly romantic! I don't write romances, or even read them, but The Tower follows my characters through a love story so intense it will make your heart swell.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A romance coated in high suspense
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2018

'The Tower' by Joslyn Chase is a suspense romance that begins in a private home in Bavaria, Germany where wounded soldiers are being treated in the days immediately following World War II. The nation is shattered, torn, and defeated. Emotional wounds are tender and fresh as physical ones when two soldiers straggle into the yard of the home. They carry a third man between them. An American. He is in dire need of medical care.
Dr. Schreiner insists the man be brought inside his home for treatment and his daughter, Laura, becomes the man’s nurse. This is her story. Oh my. Resentments and misunderstandings so hot on the heels of the vicious war resist the attraction between these two. Surely, they can never become one, can they. Can they? The dark, lightening-stroked tower on the cover of this book promises that theirs will not be an easy romance, and it is not. The American, Thomas, does mend, but then he leaves for home, and Laura’s life is forever changed. I wondered how her story could end well. And then it got much worse.
I enjoyed seeing how the main character Laura Schreiner grows through the course of her story . As she says herself, “…I gained the fortitude to endure…” only by walking her difficult path. This statement resonated for me right from the beginning.
I chose this book because I’ve read two others by Joslyn Chase and knew she could weave a great suspense story. True to the cover, the tension throughout this novel is high. The mystery is intriguing up to the very end and the romance hits every note. This is a fine addition to Joslyn’s work.

The love story that seems to be destined to end in tragedy, but triumphs in victory. The setting in post war Germany adds to the intrigue. Beautiful imagery.
