The Parisian Spy: A Gripping WW2 Love Story (The Resistance Girl Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Hannah Byron (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,134 ratings

A heart-racing WWII historical fiction novel of love, betrayal, and the courage to resist in the darkest of times.

Paris, 1942.


In a city ruled by fear, French American medical student Océane Bell wants only to save lives—not risk her own. While training at the Sorbonne and tending to wounded civilians at Hôtel-Dieu, she tries to stay focused on healing, far from politics and war.

But everything changes the day she meets Jean-Jacques Riveau—a charismatic artist turned resistance fighter. When the Gestapo arrests him, Océane is thrust into a world of espionage and peril. Desperate to save the man she loves, she infiltrates 84 Avenue Foch, the Gestapo’s Paris headquarters, offering her skills as a doctor to the ruthless SS commander, Dieter Von Stein.

In a deadly game of deception and survival, Océane must use her wit and courage to outmaneuver one of the Nazis’ most dangerous men. With love and justice on the line, how far will she go to protect both?

Inspired by real wartime operations and filled with emotional intensity, The Parisian Spy is perfect for fans of The Nightingale, Code Name Hélène, and The Alice Network. It’s a gripping story of bravery, forbidden love, and a woman who defied evil from within its heart.

Reviewer quote During a time of great oppression by an evil regime comes the story of great turmoil, danger, amazing love and loyalty. Takes you deep behind the mists of time and politics that obscured the horrors and struggles endured during German occupation. Provides an accurate historical background, but is also an emotional and engaging story of human drama, patriotism, action. Transports me to another time... a time not unfamiliar with the atrocities of war because it has been promised to never forget. "Lest we Forget".
Can't miss scene He whispered in her ear, “You’ll smuggle diamonds from Antwerp." “I know who betrayed my family, and he’s a dead man” More shots rang out, ricocheting on the Benz’s armored chassis. Rows of men dressed in black, waving National Socialist banners.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Oceane's story shows the untapped strength that appears under trying circumstances. Oceane was capable of so much more than she ever knew. This story is beautiful and inspiring, one you will cherish." Reader Review

"The level of research into the characters is astounding and the characters themselves are likable or detestable as was true of participants in the actual war. I highly recommend this book." Reader Review

"There is romance, espionage, intrigue, danger, and historical fiction. Hannah Byron has a unique writing style that puts you in the scene right next to the characters." Reader Review

"What a delightful book. A love story entwined in the horrors of WWII, you cannot help but be engrossed in this beautifully researched book. The characters are very authentic and while essentially a work of fiction, the author has worked the storyline into a time in history very well documented, and the book highlights so well how nobody, no matter how rich or famous you were, no matter your family history or your nationality, wasn't caught up in the ugliness and cruelty of such a horrible period in Europe's history."

    3.0 out of 5 stars What would you do if, to save the one you love, you had to go against everything you believe in?
    Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    A well researched novel during the early days of the Nazi conquest of Paris. The female main character, leaving behind disappointment in the United States, enters medical school in Paris. She meets a debonair artist, then the horrors of Hitler's killing machine invade and life will never be the same. If you knew that your actions could save lives, would you use your education and ability to keep a monster happy? What happens when the player becomes the played? My only complaint is that, at times, the story seemed to drag with some items seemingly added for filler. I did have a hard time adding this to my e-reader, so I had to print it out, which probably hurt my ability to read and give a really constructive critique. But, as I said, it was very well-researched, both for WWII facts and the difficulty that women had in entering medicine. Very few medical schools allowed women, which made the Sorbonne a good choice for the main female character.

    A fast paced, anxiety, and thought provoking read. However, it did seem unlikely that none of the protagonist’s close family passed away.
