Hesitant Hero by Gilbert Morris is the next book in the House of Winslow series. In this installment, artist Tyler Winslow leaves for Paris to learn his art at the beginning of World War II. He soon falls in love with the beautiful doctor Jolie Varney and is caught up in a plan to sneak three Jewish children from the country before the Nazis can find them. This book is so much better than the previous entry in the series. The writing is much smoother, and the characters far more believable. The romance grows realistically, and the action is easy to follow. While the race across France to the coast is a little similar to a previous Winslow book, the story is still a good one. The book is sure to please fans of the HOW series and new readers as well. I look forward to the next book in the series.

The House of Winslow has had some fascinating stories. Though they've spent quite some time in the WWII era, it's still a good story. There are some slow sections, but learning about Tyler's failures and eventual triumphs is still neat. Jolie's interesting too, though I think they already used that name in a previous book, (it's still a cool name).
So what do we have? We have some orphans, a handsome Winslow, and a French doctor-chick who're running all over France....what could go wrong?
