I think Code Name Verity has ruined me for all other WWII romances because each time I try to read a novel set in WWII - novels that come with recommendations! - I am terribly, terribly disappointed.

Anyone have recommendations for good WWII romantic adventure novels?

Things I like:
  • Ladies having agency and being active both within the narrative and within the world they're living in.
  • Attractive gentleman who like ladies with agency.
  • Actions! Adventure! Air raids! Passion! Longing!
Things I don't like:
  • "romantic heroes" who have to be convinced that the heroine is his equal.
  • the author's religious beliefs dripping from every page.
