SWEET ROMANCE. WARTIME DRAMA.

Jennifer Mistmorgan

Hi! I’m Jen. I write 20th Century historical romances set in and around World War II. My books are full of sweet romance, gritty wartime drama, imperfect faith and a dash of intrigue.

What to expect in my books

Kissing Books

How do we label romance at the low end of the heat scale these days? Sweet? Wholesome? Clean? Closed-door? Whatever we call it, you can expect my books to be high on swoon, but low on spice.

Wartime Grit

The romance in my books might be sweet, but war is anything but. I try not to shy away from those things. Let’s call it “mature themes” … even if my books would likely get a PG rating by the movie classifiers.

Imperfect Faith

Christian faith is important to me and my stories reflect that. But don’t expect perfect, preachy people. Expect doubt, compromise, and failure as characters grapple with God’s grace and love in a world at war.

A Dash of Intrigue

I love a good mystery, and my stories usually have an element of intrigue or suspense. Not edge-of-your-seat, can’t-sleep-at-night stuff, just something to keep you guessing. I also write international characters and locations.

Interlinked Stories

My books are easily read as standalone, self-contained novels. However, my story world features recurring characters and sometimes interlinked events. This may mean minor spoilers, depending on when you meet a character.
