At the urging of a friend, she decides to join the war effort by becoming a junior hostess at the local USO. When they meet—man, the sparks fly. They enjoy a wonderful courtship, while juggling two confusing mysteries; until Vivian catches Gene doing the very thing that he swore he would never do.

Reviews

"Linda Ellen is a superb writer and she quickly scored a place on my top 5 favorite authors list with her first book, Once in a While. She knows how to draw you in immediately and hold you captivated until the very end, only to leave you wanting more!"-Blogger Liz Austin

"Linda Ellen's writing continues to be fresh, original and unpredictable in the plot. Louisville, KY is now a destination for me after reading so much about it. Linda Ellen researches her time periods well and sprinkles the details of the decade seamlessly into the thickening plot line." - Reviewer C. Lampos

"Usually, I like a little romance, but the main emphasis, or at least a good part of it, for me needs to be historical, mystery, or better yet suspense. Although Linda Ellen's are largely romance, I’ve learned so much history from them! That’s one of the reasons I like her books so much. Even the proxy bride books take me to parts of the country I’m unfamiliar with. It probably goes back to my childhood. I lived in the same house my entire life, and went through school with the same kids. It worked for me because I hate moving, but I love reading. And that’s how I traveled. I’ve been so lax about writing reviews. but I really do enjoy Linda Ellen’s books and want to give her credit for her writing." - Reviewer Lynn Britton

I also enjoyed the historical facts

I just finished "Her Blue-Eyed Sergeant" by author Linda Ellen. As I write this review, I'm not quite sure where to begin.
The story follows the developing romance of Vivian Powell and Sergeant Eugene Banks, who meet at a dance for soldiers during World War II. It is Vivian's first time as a "hostess," one of numerous young women who volunteered to attend weekly dances for the soldiers, most coming in from Fort Knox. From the first time their eyes met across the dance floor, there was an instant connection that this reader felt along with them. Through the beginnings of a lovely romance, misunderstandings, and eventual resolution of the issues that caused the misunderstandings, I found myself pulled deeper into their story, wanting it all to just work out for our hero and heroine.
I also enjoyed the historical facts, especially those surrounding Fort Knox. I'm a World War II "buff," and that coupled with being a native Louisvillian only helped to increase my enjoyment of "Her Blue-Eyed Sergeant."
If you've read the author's previous series, you'll not only recognize Sergeant Banks as a "lesser-known" character from the first, "Once in a While," but you'll truly relish the parts of the story that include the main characters from the Cherished Memories series, Vic and Louise.
This wonderful story also included some fun and incredibly clever, surprising twists and truly added another dimension to the adventures of Vivian and Eugene.
I highly recommend "Her Blue-Eyed Sergeant" and am anxiously awaiting the next installment in this lovely new series by Linda Ellen. This is not just a "book," but a beautiful, fun, romantic adventure that easily absorbed this reader into its depths.

Amazing page-turner!

Once again, Linda Ellen has woven historical fiction with a beautiful love story! Her Blue-Eyed Sergeant, is a story that truly transfixed me, not just with her amazing storytelling, but with her ornate descriptions of the historical locations, music, and the times.

Set in the WWII era in Louisville, KY., I found I was immersed in the years I'd pictured when hearing my own family tell stories. That just made this book all the more enjoyable. I just loved imagining the USO girls and the dances, the soldiers at Fort Knox, and the little details like the Burma Shave ads.

I started out as a fan of Louise and Vic, from her previous novels, but now I am adding Vivian and Gene to the mix. She created a whole new group of characters that I've just fallen in love with and can't wait to find out how they are doing in her next books!

I have to say the romance between Vivian and Gene was striking and electric. My heart was just fluttering every time!

There was mystery and uncovered secrets, silly humor with new friends and old, and a surprise around every corner. You'd really be missing out if you pass over this great book! I was lucky to have gotten to read it ahead of time, and can't wait to get to share it with my friends and family!

Interesting story about a hostess at USO club who meets a soldier and, although it is against the rules, she gets involved with him. Unexpected twist at the end.

As usual, Linda Ellen has turned out another superb book. I love the way Linda writes, incorporating facts and history into the story, making it all the more real to the reader. She allows the reader to step into the book and live with the characters, feel what they feel and experience what they experience. As a reader, I tend to stick predominantly to historical western (1800s) books, but every now and then I try to branch out and read other subgenres. One thing I love about Linda's books is the fact that I never have to worry about whether it will be good or not, I know for a fact that it will. :)

I adored the World War Two setting, and was immediately drawn into Gene and Viv's story, and followed them through every up and down, and the twists and turns (and boy are there a few twists! You don't want to miss them!) This story is very unique and original, the first of its kind as far as my reader knowledge goes (though I can't name the reason without giving away an important twist 😉). I thoroughly enjoyed reading and living in this one, and truly look forward to reading book 2!

Christian Historical Romance
Lots of unexpected surprises in this sweet war time romance. Even though this story takes place stateside, you definitely get the military experience as he interacts with his supervisors, coworkers, and the various military members attending the USO. You even get a tour of the famous Fort Knox!
I loved the Christian aspects of this story as they honored God with praise and cried out to Him in prayer! I'm looking forward to book two!

AWESOME CLEAN READ ROMANCE!

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!

I give it 10 STARS!

Historical novels are not usually my genre… but I can’t say enough about this wonderful series!

Gene and Vivian meet quite by chance–or do they? Do you believe in love at first sight? Well, this story might not be just that, but… oh, dear. I can’t say much more without giving away too much. I can tell you that the characters are colorful, interesting, and unforgettable. And the confusing mysteries will most likely be unexpected, too. Just read it and see…

if you enjoy exciting romance, you’ll love this series. Especially since they’re clean reads!

Hurry! Run and pick up a copy of Her Blue-Eyed Sergeant and read the adventures of Gene and Vivian. Then read the rest of the series, too.

Happy Reading!
