I love Torrens’ books; she writes such wonderful, touching stories and The Poppy Fields is no exception. The story starts off with the heroine, Emily, accidentally meeting the hero, James, in a bookshop and James is immediately attracted to her. However, Emily is still coming to terms with the loss of her boyfriend, who died while serving as a solider in Afghanistan. By chance, James and Emily’s paths cross again and they begin a friendship which develops into a romance, but then James’ ex-girlfriend moves back from London and starts scheming to win James back. To make matters worse, James is also a soldier and when he is called to serve in Afghanistan, Emily is forced to relive her worst fears.  .  .I loved this book and the way the author deals with love, loss and the ultimate sacrifice that so many soldiers have to make. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
