At the height of World War II, three women must come together to fight for freedom, for the men they love—and for each other.
When Hazel is given the chance to parachute into Nazi-occupied France, she seizes the opportunity to do more for the British war effort than file paperwork. Alongside her childhood friend, French-born Rose, she quickly rises up the ranks of the freedom fighters. For Rose, the Resistance is a link to her late husband, and a way to move forward without him. What starts out as helping downed airmen becomes a bigger cause when they meet Sophia, a German escapee and fierce critic of Hitler who is wanted by the Gestapo. Together the three women form a bond that will last a lifetime.
But amid the turmoil and tragedy of warfare, all three risk losing everything—and everyone—they hold dear. Will their united front be strong enough to see them through?

Hearts of Resistance edition by Soraya M Lane Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
- If you are a woman and a history buff you will love this book. We all know that women were in the French Resistance, but very few books have been written about them. There are hundreds of books and movies about World War II from the male perspective but very few about the women who fought just as courageously. This book covers the lives of three Resistance fighters. The author weaves an amazing story of love, courage and the human will.
I can't wait till her next book! - Sophia tries to give people a place to hide in her Nazi infested home country. When her father, an active member of the party, suspects what she's doing she flees Germany and joins the French Resistance. Rose has lost everything she holds dear and doesn't mind taking a risk. She's a French woman working for the Resistance, where she meets Sophia. Hazel spent a lot of time in France with her friend Rose and therefore she speaks French without an accent. This is just one of her skills and when she joins the war effort they're more than happy to train her. Her mission is in France, with the Resistance, where she coincidentally runs into her old friend Rose. Together Sophia, Rose and Hazel are trying to do what they can to beat the Germans, will they be able to remain safe?
Sophia, Rose and Hazel risk their lives for others every single day. They don't hesitate when it comes to fighting in the war. They do what they have to do to undermine the Germans, to keep their allies safe and to make sure information is being passed on to the right people. They are intelligent women with a strong bond, but will this be enough for them to survive the war? Can they stay out of the hands of their enemy or will their worst nightmare, getting caught by the German army, become reality?
Hearts of Resistance is a fantastic gripping story about three incredible women. Sophia, Rose and Hazel are brave, capable and smart. I equally admired them all because of their skills and determination. They never hesitate when it comes to helping others and doing their duty. Hazel is a kindhearted woman with an adventurous spirit. She's engaged, but doesn't feel like she should chase a boring and bland life. She has more to offer than that. Rose fights against the people who have taken everything from her, she doesn't feel like she has much left to lose and her country has everything to gain when it comes to this brilliant woman. The honorable and outspoken Sophia despises her own father and everything he stands for and fights for what is right. I loved their strong spirits and the friendship between these three remarkable women is beautiful. In the harsh world they're part of it's an amazing soft element that captivated me from beginning to end.
Soraya M. Lane kept me on the edge of my seat with her terrific suspenseful writing. She makes her main characters and the time she's writing about come to life in a fabulous way. I couldn't stop reading Hearts of Resistance, it's filled with surprising twists and turns, adrenaline rushes and fascinating emotional layers. Soraya M. Lane has written a mesmerizing compelling story that I highly recommend. - I am fascinated by the WWII era. I am always drawn to books with this period as the backdrop of the story. The atrocities that people can survive amaze me. Lane does a beautiful job of telling the story of 3 ambitious, strong & heroic women who risk their lives to fight with the Resistance against the Germans. While this is a fictional story you know from history that there are so many true stories just like these. And without the bravery of women like Rose, Hazel and Sophia the war would have had a very different ending. Looking forwars to more great books from Soraya.
- I really had a hard part putting this book down. Three courageous young women in a time when women were to be wives and mothers, went to war. The pace was fast and the tension never let up as you lived the fear and terror of waiting for the Gestapo at the door. The book felt very realistic, frightening and gritty. The characters were very real and you really learned to care for them even as the war changed and hardened them. The ending was a bit romanticized but overall I loved this book. It was a nice change from most women's literature and I think men would appreciate it too. I received this as a Goodreads Giveaway and I am so glad!
- “Hearts of Resistance†by Soraya M. Lane was one of those books that you cannot stop reading. French-born Rose lost her husband during the war, Hazel an English woman whose fiancé is fighting for the British, and Sophia, a German is hiding her Jewish boyfriend while helping Jews flee the Nazis have been thrown together in a unique situation. Rose is a major part of the French Resistance who is being sought by the Gestapo. Hazel has been a childhood friend of Rose and has volunteered to bring her out of France before the Gestapo find her. Sophia has been betrayed to the Gestapo, imprisoned, but has escaped. These three courageous women have been brought together by circumstance and are determined to do their duty and get out of France to safety in England.
This book is a real page-turner. I read this three-hundred-eighteen-page book in a day and a half. I could not stop reading. The three women were so different in character. All three have been changed by the dynamics of wartime Europe. Will they be able to work together to save each other and their causes? The story of these women is a testament to those brave individuals who risked their lives to further the downfall of the Nazi regime and make the way smoother for the Allied invasion. Ms. Lane is a superb author. Her historical background for this novel and the descriptions of the mood of fear of the French people, the landscape, and the all-pervasive idea that death could be just around the corner, literally, all this was expertly portrayed in the story. I highly recommend this book to those who have an interest in that time in history. - I enjoyed the stories of the three women. From completely different backgrounds they end up in the French resistance. I liked how the author tells what happens to them after the war
- Powerful 'fictional' account of 3 women during WW2 IN the French Resistance, relating their intense love for freedom against the hatred of the Natzis and the harrowing ugliness of war and torturing and murder of any Jew found. Their efforts helped win this war. True heroines.
