Bittersweet homecomings, confronting haunted wartime memories and secrets that bubble to the surface in the journey back to where it all began for Eva and Zoe.

It's 1950 and Eva and Zoe find themselves in Larissa, Greece. The journey home for Zoe to reclaim her inheritance after the Greek Civil War had ended is a bittersweet homecoming. Eva and Zoe have weathered every obstacle that fate has put before them but now they have to find the strength to confront their haunted wartime memories in Greece. Eva also has to terms with a woman from the past who is a quiet, gentle soul but has an extraordinary paranormal power of visions through time. Faced with a physical reminder of her tortured past, Eva needs all her courage, strength and resilience to confront her harrowing memories and content with the secrets that are bubbling to the surface. Zoe contends with her own soul-shattering memories of helplessness, heart-rendering pain, and loss.
They leave Greece with new friends and family. In Germany, they discover that Eva's grandmother -- the matriarch of the Muller clan -- is not a woman to be taken lightly or ignored. Shocking family secrets that have been hidden for generations are revealed.

Pick up a copy of Awakenings and follow Eva and Zoe's journey of love, resilience and the strength to face down unredeemable foes in this historical lesbian romance series imbued with urban fantasy and mystery.

Review

A beautifully observed and intriguing novel that stands as a lingering reminder of loves consequences in times past. It's a heady mix that makes for a captivating and persuasive read, effortlessly capturing the spirit of time and place as the almost palpable tension simmers between her females leads.- Book Viral

Thought provoking with thematic moral undertones,Brooks has created astute, honest, and most notably, believablecharacters that quickly materialize in the mind and bring an undeniablesense of authenticity to her tale that will leave many of her readersreflecting upon the fettered boundaries of forbidden romance in bygonetimes. - Book Viral

A story about deep love and also about the deep cruelty one person can inflict on another. The story begins in Larissa Greece and continues in Germany which is Eva's home. The settings are so realistic and vivid. I found myself "right there" in the story. -- Jenny Channdelier -

Brooks writes her characters beautifully and the love between Eva and Zoe is palpable. The setting adds excitement and interest, but there's more going on here than 1940s Europe. Poetic, lovely and highly recommended. -- Sam G - Amazon.com

Messages For The Soul

Incredible continuation to my favorite series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

I have been a fan of historical fiction for several years now and finding a quality series in this genre is not as easy as many may think. Writing in this area takes talent, a great deal of research, and patience. I have found author Mary D. Brooks' "Intertwined Souls" series to be one of the best that I have read in a long time and I am always anxiously awaiting the next release.

The series follows the relationship between Eva and Zoe, from their first meeting during World War II on opposite sides of the conflict, their falling in love, and the various trials and tribulations that life throws at them in the decades after the war. These two have become world travelers and have lived in Greece, Australia, Greece again, and then Germany. Each move and new country has its share of new surprises and many times challenges as old memories or secrets are stirred up. In "Awakenings", the two have to deal with memories of the conflict that ultimately brought them together. There are also some not so pleasant secrets about Eva's family that await to be uncovered in Germany.

There wasn't anything not to love about this next installment. The story, and journey, with these two continued to flow as if I had never left them from the last book. I enjoyed so much having the two characters, Dr. Nikas-Lambros and Theresa Mitsos, play such a role of support here. The conflicts that arose for the two made for such an interesting read and the historical references are always something that keep me glued to the story. Once again - well done.

Good Book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2016

This is the second book in the series. Zoe gets a letter telling her that she has to return to Greece to relive these memories. Her partner, Eva has finally been able to deal with the psychological damage the war caused her. After discussing it with Eva, both Eva and Zoe decide that it will be ok to temporarily return to Europe.
When the ladies get back from Europe, Zoe decides that she wants a child. Since they are a lesbian couple, this is difficult, since they don't want a man to touch them. Finally, one of their gay friends agrees to impregnate Zoe. Once the child comes, Eva and Zoe have to get "married". If they don't ,Zoe will be considered an unfit mother and the child will be taken away. So, they get "married" to two gay guys who are a couple but have to get married because one of them is a school principle who would get fired if it came out that he was gay.
The book is good in that the plot somewhat accurately describes what life was like in the late 1940's early 1950's. Some of the characters and the plot are a little wooden . Overall, this does not mar the generally good book.

This is beyond a doubt one of the best books/series I have ever read! Every page is full of mystery, intrigue, secrets uncovered and a web that connects the characters. The connections and love between the two main characters is amazing and heartwarming. Love this author and this series!

Loved the book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 26, 2019

I just love Eva and Zoe. They have the kind of love that most of us can only dream about. This is book 4 in a 6 book series. Unfortunately I did not realize I read this one out of order but all the books are interesting no matter which order you read them in. Each book gives you another piece of their lives together. Their story begins as WWII is ending and they travel from an island in Greece to Australia and Germany where mysteries of Eva's past life become more clear. Great series and kudos to the author for making these heroines so real and lovable.

Thought I'd leave a review for this book as this is the second time I've read it and enjoyed it a 2nd time. I've read all the books in this series and am waiting for more!!! I recommend this series for anyone that loves a good romance set during WW2 and after. Great story telling and I'm sure I will read this a 3rd and 4th time lol.

I have been happily enjoying this lesbian love story. I really like that it isn’t filled with needless sex. This book however, got a too into religion for me so it lost a star. I hope that theme doesn’t continue.

I love this series so much. Mary D. Brooks makes the characters so real in her writings that I laugh and cry right along with them. The relationship between Eva and Zoe is so electric and loving that it makes you strive to be better in you own personal relationship or wish you had one like theirs. The cast of characters are always changing but they are all needed to properly tell this story which Mary does so well!!

A stunning masterpiece of literature that needs to be read by all. This drama reveals so much of history mixed with a family like no other. It was a blessing to read it from cover to cover.

No 4 in the Intertwined Souls series. Though readable independently my recommendation is to begin at the beginning. Or risk a mind melt. When i began the series i thought i was tucking into an historical lesbian romance. Each sequel has moved it deeper into another realm..In this one we get a lot of new characters and back story which though enlightening seems unlikely sometimes and the intertwining (aha!) of the family connections mushed my brain. The intensifying ferocious love between Zoe and Eva is deeply satisfying.
