About this ebook

Doctor BETTY GRIMES, miraculously survives the Nazi bombing of her hospital but suffers the loss of her fiancé in the raid. She goes to the countryside to grieve and recuperate and there meets the leader of the Virtues team who recruits the brilliant surgeon.

After months of training, Betty, code-named MERCY, now works in Occupied France as a nurse, where she garners information from patients and passes it to the Allies. Secretly, she tends to injured Resistance operatives, treating gunshots and other wounds that would otherwise draw the attention of the Third Reich.

When Betty is sent to the local prison to see to a prisoner who has taken ill, her shock at finding TEMPERANCE nearly blows her cover. Now Temperance is sick and Mercy needs to get her well enough for the coming rescue operation to succeed.

Can MERCY save TEMPERANCE in time for her rescue, or will her patient succumb to the disease brought on by the torture of the Gestapo?

MISSION OF MERCY is part six of eight serialized novellas entitled the Virtues and Valor series.

Seven valorous women — different nationalities, ethnicities, and social backgrounds — come together as a team called the Virtues.

In 1941 Great Britain a special war department assembles an experimental and exclusively female cohort of combat operatives. Four willing spies, a wireless radio operator, an ingenious code breaker, and a fearless pilot are each hand-picked, recruited, and trained to initiate a daring mission in Occupied France. As plans are laid to engineer the largest prison break of Allied POWs in history, the Nazis capture the Virtues’ radio operator. It will take the cohesive teamwork of the rest of the women to save her life before Berlin breaks her and brings the force of the Third Reich to bear.

Some find love, some find vengeance, and some discover the kind of strength that lives in the human heart when all they can do is rely on each other and their shared belief. Courage, faith, and valor intersect but, in the end, one pays the ultimate price.

Continuing the Virtues and Valor series by Hallee Bridgeman. Eight serialized novellas, each inspired by real people and actual events, reveal the incredible story of amazing heroines facing the ultimate test of bravery.

Once again, these books are very well written and worth the reading. This tells the story from Mercy's point of view. Mercy is a doctor who is posing as a nurse. The one thing I did not like about this book was that it ended with a cliff hanger. I had to immediately start the last of the series. I highly recommend these book. These are the first edition and do need a little more proof reading, but it's not bad. I just notice this type of thing as it's a pet peeve of mine, I guess. But, like I said, it IS the first edition and it is totally worth the read, no matter. I was given this book in exchange for my honest review.

Mercy is a doctor who is heartbroken when German bombings kill her doctor-fiancé. She joins the Resistance Movement as a nurse, working on German officers and French public by day, spirited away to doctor Allied troops by night. Her biggest challenge is finding her teammate, Temperance, very near death. Mercy must attempt to doctor Temperance secretly and adequately through a third party, whose loyalties are divided. Again, I love the story, but the actual history lesson at the end is invaluable. Discussion questions will leave you pondering. Warning: Hallee Bridgeman shows no mercy with her end of episode cliff-hangers, so be smart and buy the whole series at once!! I received this book from bookfun.org in exchange for an honest review.

In Part 6 we finally meet Valor! This series continues to unfold in ways that will surprise the most avid readers of mysteries. I read over a hundred books per year, and I have never been so engrossed in a story before. Part 6 is Beatrice’s story, Dr. Betty Grimes, codename Mercy. We learn her backstory and her place in the mission in Occupied France as a part of the spy team comprised by British Major Charlene Radden. Mercy spends her days undercover as a Red Cross Nurse in Occupied France and her nights at the local prison tending to a prisoner who has been beaten and tortured. Hallee Bridgeman packs so much action into these serialized novellas that you are literally on the edge of your seat with the nail biting suspense. If you love historical fiction inspired by real life events that includes stark bravery of heroes and heroines, you will be inspired by this series. I received a copy of this book from the publisher, through The Book Club Network (bookfun.org) in exchange for my honest review.
