*Valiant Hearts* concludes the sweeping World War I saga begun in *Arabian Winds* and continued in *Lions of the Desert*.
Having at last declared his love for Allison Wescott, a Christian missionary nurse supporting British troops in Egypt, daring British Intelligence Officer Colonel Bret Holden has disappeared-with a secret treasure from the ancient tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh! Frantic, filled with fear, Allison determines to find him, but before she can do so, she's swept up in the exciting events of the great war breaking across Palestine. It is when she least expects it that she finally finds Bret again. He's wounded-and they become trapped together behind enemy lines near Jerusalem.

Once again, the plot and the setting were excellent. I read this book in less than a week, which means it was engaging enough to keep me turning pages. I was glad that things wrapped up from all three books, even though more characters died than I was expecting. The editing errors I noticed in the previous two were absent in this final book.
The thing that I just can't get past is the weird relationship between Allison and Bret. I want to put a disclaimer in the front of this book- “In the real world, relationships do not work like this. And they should not.” It's never a good idea to marry someone when you know nothing about their personal life. I liked Allison, and I came around to liking Bret, but I was confounded by the way things were progressing. Their whole relationship just bugged me so much.
That being said, this series is still worth reading if you like historical suspense. I did enjoy many aspects of it.
