This is a great series about 4 girls who make friends when they join the ATS. Each book tells of one of the girls journey through this difficult time. This book is Clara’s turn and how she meets the love of her life quite unexpectedly when she’s training to be a despatch rider. A great book to snuggle down and enjoy as it draws you in to Clara’s life. I highly recommend this series.

This story follows Clara, a gal from the ATS or Auxiliary Territorial Services, who arrives at the train station for training during WWII. Captain Perry Harrow is working at her base while recovering from surgery. He’s helping to train her, but she’s proficient in what she does. There’s an attraction between the two from the beginning.


This is the 4th in the Army Girls series. I’m enjoying getting to know all of the girls and learning about life on the homefront during WWII. I enjoyed Perry and Clara’s story; following up on the happenings of the previous Army Girls story was a bonus. The author does a great job, of creating interesting characters and engaging stories. I’m hoping there will be more Army Girls stories.


Thanks to @rachelrandomresources, @boldwoodbooks, @netgalley and the author for this ARC.

Having been on board with the Army Girls since they reported for duty, I can safely say that this is one of my favourite historical fiction series set in WWII and wartorn Britain.

I can't believe we're already on to the fourth book in the series. It's always great to catch up with the girls to see what they're up to. Clara has always been the main character right back from those heady days of sign up and we've seen her blossom into a beautiful young woman and now she's planning to take her place next to Perry and say 'I do'.

As always Miller delights us with such lovely characters, their community spirit never once wavering.

Operation Winter Wedding is the perfect book to cosy up with under a blanket as the summer nights come to a close.

Army Girls Operation Winter Wedding by Fenella J Miller is part of her engaging series that highlights the experiences of women serving in the British Armed Forces during World War II. The story follows Clara Felgate, who has just completed basic training and is eager to begin her career. Ambitious and determined, Clara hopes to serve as a driver, preferably a dispatch rider near the front lines, or at least as an ambulance driver. As a no-nonsense non-commissioned officer, she quickly takes charge when she and a group of women arrive at the station without transportation to their ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Service) base. Clara gets them organized and starts marching them the couple of miles to the base, only to be met by a rude driver when the transport finally arrives. When he bumps his head, Clara takes over, driving the lorry for the first time and successfully leading her group to the base. Her resourcefulness and determination set the tone for her journey in the military.

This book is a well-researched and captivating portrayal of the lives of young women in the war. It provides a slice-of-life perspective, focusing more on the day-to-day experiences of women like Clara rather than following a traditional plot. While there’s a subtle romance woven into the story, the focus remains on Clara’s military service and her aspirations. The narrative is both touching and realistic, offering a fresh look at a part of World War II that is often overlooked. I found it to be an entertaining and heartfelt read, and I absolutely loved it!

I'm reviewing this via NetGalley, as part of a tour with Rachel's Random Resources.

This book is part of the Army Girls series, and I haven't read any of the previous books. Based on this one, I would be open to reading more of the series.

This WWII saga follows Clara, a driver in the ATS. I enjoyed Clara as a protagonist because she struck me as courageous, confident and assertive. Following her journey, I appreciated the bonds that she formed with some of the other characters. I also became invested in the romantic element of the story; that warmed my heart. This was a light, relaxing read that helped me to escape for a little while.

Thank you to NetGalley, Rachel's Random Resources, Boldwood Books, and to the author, for the opportunity to read and review this.

Army Girls Operation Winter Wedding by Fenella J Miller is another in her series of women serving in the British Armed Forces in World War II. Clara Felgate was finished with basic training and on to her chosen career. She wanted to be a driver, preferably a dispatch rider near the front. If not, an ambulance driver. She was a get-it-done kind of person and also a non-commissioned officer, the lowest one possible. When the train arrived at the station there were a dozen or more women going to the ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Army) base, so she thought there would be transportation. They waited, after Clara got them organized, and still nothing so she started them marching. It was only a couple of miles. They could do it. The transport showed up but was driven by a rude young man who seemed to not like women. After putting up with him for a while, he bumped his head and Clara took the wheel. She had never driven a lorry before, but she could do it. It was the first day and she wasn’t going to spend it sitting out in the middle of nowhere. She figured out where to go and made it to the base, where questions were asked and answered. Clara had made it!

This is a well-researched and interesting narrative about individual women in the war. They are are young, they start off untrained, and some of them don’t make it. Clara is not one of those. It is an entertaining book that doesn’t so much have a plot as it is more a slice-of-life. It is also a romance, plenty of those during war. It is low key, though, and much more about the army. There is no guarantee Clara will make it overseas, but that is still her goal. It was an entertaining story, showing a different part of life and WWII books often show. It was touching and real. I loved it!

I was invited to read Army Girls Operation Winter Wedding by BoldWood Books. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #Netgalley #BoldwoodBooks #FenellaJMiller #ArmyGirlsOperationWinter Wedding

Well the beginning of this book had me smiling from ear to ear with Clara and the other army girls antics. Clara is quite a strong independent character and it was beautiful to watch the vulnerable side of her develop as her relationship with Perry grew and the war continues to rage on. I find it interesting to read about the proper way that is acceptable to behave in those times as it's nothing like now. In some ways we have come so far and in others not so much. I enjoyed reading about how the women were learning to drive and I was excited that Clara aced it and became a pro at manevouring a lorry. I would have loved the book to be more festive but I realised that wasn't the focus. A emotional but happy wartime tale.

LOVED IT!! I’ve really enjoyed immersing myself into the Army Girls series and book four did not disappoint. These young women came from all over with different backgrounds and had such chemistry from their first meeting. Friendship, loyalty, duty, courage, bravery play a big part in all the Army Girls Books. Operation Winter Wedding is Clara’s story, a determined naïve, witty, charismatic character. I enjoyed the chemistry and banter between her an Captain Harrow. Sadly, this is the last in the series, however to me the series feels unfinished. The war is not over the invasion is about to happen, loved ones are still fighting and doing their part and where do they all end up? Fenella Miller has written a gripping, page turning series. I highly recommend to those that love a good romance set during WW2 to read.
I would like to thank Boldwood Books, NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read this complimentary copy for an honest review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Sometimes I am put off when a book is described as heartbreaking. I don't want to read a book that will have me crying more than anything else. Fenella J Miller puts just the right balance of sad and happy events. I always finish books of hers smiling. This book was no exception. What I particularly liked about this story is that much of it focused on the romance between the main characters, Clara and Perry. Sometimes books set in wartime concentrate mainly on the war itself with just a little romance hinted at here and there. I much prefer romance taking the lead in a story.

Clara and Perry don't have the easiest of romances, and much of the time I don't think Clara knew what she wanted. It was nice to read how her character grew and how things developed between her and Perry. I very much enjoyed reading about her work in the army. I honestly believe I have learned more about the war since reading books like this than I ever did in school.

I enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next one in the series.

Fenella J Miller is an autobuy for me - I love her books so much. Devoured this in one sitting. Wonderful writing combined with beautifully crafted characters. Always a treat.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read this lovely book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the story of Clara Felgate who is in the ATS. Clara has always wanted to serve as a driver abroad.She can drive most vehicle's.Clara starts her training at Camberley Barrocks where she meets Captain Perry Harrow.We find out about what happens to Clara and Perry who are attracted to each other.I have loved all the books in the Army Girl series.Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood.

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

Having have read the other books in the series, and others by Fenella J Miller, I was looking forward to this one.

The story is about the members of an ATS group during WW2, and follows one of the character, Clara, she wants to be a dispatch rider after she is successful in driving other vehicles and knowing how to carry out any repairs needed on each one.

She falls in love with Perry, who is older than her and also above her in rank,

I recommend this book.

Another great read in this lovely series. I loved returning to the girls and catching up with all their antics. This one involved a wedding which during wartime material for wedding dresses were hard to get hold of. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Operation Winter Wedding was a great way to visit with of my favorite characters in The Army Girl series. Clara has been dedicated to helping the war effort. She has dreamed of training on all of the vehicles. Her goal is to become a dispatch rider, riding on a motorcycle.

I was in awe of Clara. Her family threatened to disown her if she joined the ATS. They could not stop her. She chose country over family. To me, that says everything. Considering she had grown up in boarding school, her initiative took extreme bravery and determination.

Arriving at Camberley changes everything for Clara and gives readers insight into some of the struggles that occurred during World War Two England. Nothing seems to stop her from doing what she feels is right, taking the reader along for the ride. It was so cool to gain some understanding of what my Aunt did in the war by reading what happened on the base and in the classroom. I learned so much about the ATS drivers and gained new ways to search for more details.

Clara's life on base is full of challenges, but none greater than Captain Peregrine Harrow. Their romance, non-romance was very entertaining. I am glad I wasn't in Clara's head and only had to read what was happening between her and the Captain. The drama surrounding their romance was extensive and filled the pages to the very end.

Thank you for the chance to read this ARC in return for my honest opinion

I have read the other books in the series and others by Fenella J Miller and like her easily readable style. She obviously researches her subject area well.

This series focuses on members of an ATS group in WW2 and this particular one follows Clara who yearns to be a dispatch rider once she masters being able to drive other vehicles as well as mechanically maintaining them.

As this is entitled 'Winter Wedding' there is bound to be some romance - though at times the naivety of Clara began to annoy me - I suppose she was very young though. She falls in love with Perry - Peregrine - an older man who was above her in rank - though this seemed not to matter.
Personally I could've done with being reminded a little more of Clara's background but she seemed to know how to behave in social situations.

All in all an enjoyable read - and if there are to be more in the series I look forward to reading them.

Easy and enjoyable read. Like the other titles in the series I found it a bit far fetched in places but enjoyed it all the same. The characters were likeable and easy to understand and relate too. I hope the series continues and covers the rest of the war.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and author for allowing me to read this Arc copy. I'd recommend this title and the whole series to other readers who enjoy wartime fiction.

Another wonderful saga by Fenella J.Miller ,I was drawn right back by the characters the location.Im already looking forward to the next in this series.#netgalley #boldwoodbooks

Clara Felgate has known from she joined the ATS that she wanted to be a dispatch rider abroad in the thick of the war. When she arrives to begin her training bad luck seems to have followed her, with a series of accidents piling up.
Captain Perry Harrow is finding his time recovering from an operation frustrating teaching ATS women to drive he wants to be at the front line with his men, but then he meets Clara and his head is turned.
The couple face some tough times but are hopeful for a happy outcome.
Great to catch up with the Army Girls and to see how each is progressing.
Great series and look forward to more.

Absolutely love all of Fenella’s books, the storyline grips you and draws you in so you literally can’t put the book down, descriptive and a wonderful set of characters

Another great book in this series and this time Clara is the focus. She has joined the ATS and is determined to become a dispatch rider. Along the way she meets Captain Perry Harrow who should be fighting abroad but through circumstance finds himself teaching the ATS girls to drive. Clara and Perry find themselves drawn to each other but will they be able to take it further? The attention to detail gives a real insight into wartime Britain and what life was like for those serving in the forces. This has a bit of everything from friendship, drama and of course romance. I really liked how Fenella described the main characters thoughts and their interactions with each other. Looking forward to the next one! Thanks to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the ARC
