5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic mesmerizing story
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2018
Sophia tries to give people a place to hide in her Nazi infested home country. When her father, an active member of the party, suspects what she's doing she flees Germany and joins the French Resistance. Rose has lost everything she holds dear and doesn't mind taking a risk. She's a French woman working for the Resistance, where she meets Sophia. Hazel spent a lot of time in France with her friend Rose and therefore she speaks French without an accent. This is just one of her skills and when she joins the war effort they're more than happy to train her. Her mission is in France, with the Resistance, where she coincidentally runs into her old friend Rose. Together Sophia, Rose and Hazel are trying to do what they can to beat the Germans, will they be able to remain safe?

Sophia, Rose and Hazel risk their lives for others every single day. They don't hesitate when it comes to fighting in the war. They do what they have to do to undermine the Germans, to keep their allies safe and to make sure information is being passed on to the right people. They are intelligent women with a strong bond, but will this be enough for them to survive the war? Can they stay out of the hands of their enemy or will their worst nightmare, getting caught by the German army, become reality?

Hearts of Resistance is a fantastic gripping story about three incredible women. Sophia, Rose and Hazel are brave, capable and smart. I equally admired them all because of their skills and determination. They never hesitate when it comes to helping others and doing their duty. Hazel is a kindhearted woman with an adventurous spirit. She's engaged, but doesn't feel like she should chase a boring and bland life. She has more to offer than that. Rose fights against the people who have taken everything from her, she doesn't feel like she has much left to lose and her country has everything to gain when it comes to this brilliant woman. The honorable and outspoken Sophia despises her own father and everything he stands for and fights for what is right. I loved their strong spirits and the friendship between these three remarkable women is beautiful. In the harsh world they're part of it's an amazing soft element that captivated me from beginning to end.

Soraya M. Lane kept me on the edge of my seat with her terrific suspenseful writing. She makes her main characters and the time she's writing about come to life in a fabulous way. I couldn't stop reading Hearts of Resistance, it's filled with surprising twists and turns, adrenaline rushes and fascinating emotional layers. Soraya M. Lane has written a mesmerizing compelling story that I highly recommend.

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2019
Not brilliant by any stretch of the imagination but sufficiently good to finish. If you like books that are not predictable it is not the book for you. But all said, it is decently edited and has no explicit sexual content. Neither does it have offensive language, something that seems the trend but I really dislike. Authors please take note: taking the Lord's name in vain and using the f word in alternate sentences does not sell more books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent WW II Story
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2018

“Hearts of Resistance” by Soraya M. Lane was one of those books that you cannot stop reading. French-born Rose lost her husband during the war, Hazel an English woman whose fiancé is fighting for the British, and Sophia, a German is hiding her Jewish boyfriend while helping Jews flee the Nazis have been thrown together in a unique situation. Rose is a major part of the French Resistance who is being sought by the Gestapo. Hazel has been a childhood friend of Rose and has volunteered to bring her out of France before the Gestapo find her. Sophia has been betrayed to the Gestapo, imprisoned, but has escaped. These three courageous women have been brought together by circumstance and are determined to do their duty and get out of France to safety in England.

This book is a real page-turner. I read this three-hundred-eighteen-page book in a day and a half. I could not stop reading. The three women were so different in character. All three have been changed by the dynamics of wartime Europe. Will they be able to work together to save each other and their causes? The story of these women is a testament to those brave individuals who risked their lives to further the downfall of the Nazi regime and make the way smoother for the Allied invasion. Ms. Lane is a superb author. Her historical background for this novel and the descriptions of the mood of fear of the French people, the landscape, and the all-pervasive idea that death could be just around the corner, literally, all this was expertly portrayed in the story. I highly recommend this book to those who have an interest in that time in history.

5.0 out of 5 stars I could not put it down!
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2018

I really had a hard part putting this book down. Three courageous young women in a time when women were to be wives and mothers, went to war. The pace was fast and the tension never let up as you lived the fear and terror of waiting for the Gestapo at the door. The book felt very realistic, frightening and gritty. The characters were very real and you really learned to care for them even as the war changed and hardened them. The ending was a bit romanticized but overall I loved this book. It was a nice change from most women's literature and I think men would appreciate it too. I received this as a Goodreads Giveaway and I am so glad!

This is the inspiring story of three young women who come from different backgrounds and sacrifice their safety to fight for the French Resistance during WWII. Sophia, half French and half German. Born into wealth, she witnesses the most tragic of scenes which catapults her into becoming one of France's best agents. Hazel, recruited from her soft life in London, becomes a vital radio operator working behind enemy lines. And Rose, recently widowed, insists on carrying on her husband's legacy by using her charming French demeanor to walk among the enemy. Each of these women will kill and would die willingly for each other and the cause. Beautifully written. I so enjoyed this work by Ms. Lane

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Book
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2018

If you are a woman and a history buff you will love this book. We all know that women were in the French Resistance, but very few books have been written about them. There are hundreds of books and movies about World War II from the male perspective but very few about the women who fought just as courageously. This book covers the lives of three Resistance fighters. The author weaves an amazing story of love, courage and the human will.
I can't wait till her next book!

This tale of 3 women during WWII and the heroic life they lived is a reminder that freedom comes at a cost, that women are capable and strong, and much has been sacrificed for this freedom. This book is a wake up call to all of us and that freedom is worth fighting for and women have an important role in this endeavor.

Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres, with WW2 being of particular interest. I relish the international feel of this book. The ending not being rushed. The inner thoughts of each character are they struggle to keep their humanity in the midst of loss and trauma of war. Thank you Ms. Lane.

I have been reading books about WWII and the impact women made during the war. This book provided insight into three different women, what led them to want to be involved and what they did to make a difference. I really enjoyed this book, even though some parts of the stories were emotional and unimaginable. I would recommend this book if you are interested in historical stories and events.

Three brave courageous women fight the Nazi'S in the resistance. They all lost family and nearly lost their lives , however, through their efforts other lives were saved and they helped to win the war. Some of the most valuable operatives, they took on the most dangerous situations and never hesitated to sacrifice all for their country and their freedom. Very good book, couldn't put it down. Highly recommend.
