Anton Janak is a dedicated member of the Czechoslovakian Resistance working against the Nazis, and he values anyone who can help his efforts. But when he learns that the young spy sent by the OSS to Prague is a woman, he has misgivings about working with her. He had expected a man—a man who could handle his assignment with the help of Janak and his fellow Resistance workers. It doesn’t take long, however, for Janak to realize the beautiful blonde spy has enough daring and resourcefulness to do what it takes in the occupied city. The Nazis are everywhere, but Tereza’s knowledge of Czech and German allows her to fit right in.
Both of them have an unspoken determination to keep their relationship professional, to keep distractions at a minimum, but is that going to be possible when every day might be their last? The bond that develops between them can only be destroyed by death, but that’s a real possibility for covert activists in Nazi-occupied Prague.
Assignment Prague eBook Helen Haught Fanick
During World War II, after the Nazis occupied Czechoslovakia, the resistance movement worked to help defeat Germany. When ASSIGNMENT PRAGUE opens, Anton Janek is watching a woman, Tereza Valentova, fall from a plane as part of an assignment which brought her to Prague. Her parachute didn't open until just before she was able to maneuver it into a tree. The partially open chute plus and branches helped break her fall, but she was injured. He was able to get her and the remains of the parachute out of the tree. She suffered several injuries, including a badly broken leg.The remainder of the plot describes how this resistance cell dealt with their assignments and obstacles. Who could they trust? Who could help them get information to help their cause? What would they have to do to gain or retain access to these people? It also describes the conditions the Czechoslovakians endured, primarily lack of food and restrictions on their movements.
One thing that had too much emphasis was all the emphasis on sexual relationships. (I'm glad they are not detailed.) Other forces, like how they decided who to trust, deserved more attention. I also don't believe Tereza would have confessed to a priest she had never met about who she really was, what her assignment involved, and what she had done. She had no way of knowing which side he was on at that point and whether he would honor the confidentiality of a confession. She also didn't know for sure that he was actually a priest.
The story flows smoothly and is well-written. I cared about the main characters and wished there was an epilogue to know what happens to them after the war ended.

Assignment Prague eBook Helen Haught Fanick Reviews
A love story born amidst the turmoil of Second World War, framed by the awesome sights of Prague. The plot and love scenes evolve one step at a time, some of them fueled by lost or desperate people. Enjoyable. Conrad Samayoa
The story sounded intriguing. A pretty blonde from the US helping the resistance fight the Gustopo in Chezoslava. The residence young man falling for her. However the story did not flow smoothly. It was predictable, and written simply; for these reasons, I only gave it as two star.
This book had a gritty description of Prague under Nazi occupation and the risks being taken by the resistance. The end came very fast and not neatly tied up. But then I guess that many resistance fighters only achieved partial victories and did not see the full effect of their work until after the war.
I absolutely loved this book! It was so nostalgic for me to read about the many places I had visited in Prague! The story was very authentic for me because I am familiar with many of the small towns & villages surrounding Prague.
Even the Paris Hotel I am familiar with. This was a delightful read for me because it was like taking a journey back in time!
While reading I wasn't sure if it was a love story or a spy novel. Turns out it was not much of either. I was expecting a novel and got a short story which explains the lack of development and historical detail. An ok read but not one I will recommend. One happy note, although the characters were in bed a lot, there were no graphic descriptions.
A good read. The story flows well and I became immersed within it as soon as I started reading. I hope Helen Haught continues this story
In this World War II story, while the Czech Resistance is being helped by the free world and the Americans, as an agent for the resistance Tereza Valentova of OSS jumps from a plane but her parachute doesn’t open fully and she falls and gets tangled in a tree becoming seriously injured.
Tereza is to be Anton Janek’s partner and Anton is disappointed that they sent him a woman at first, but seeing what Tereza could do, as injured as she was with a broken leg, concussion, and several bruises, Anton begins to feel for her. Until Tereza’s wounds heal, Anton takes care of her, as well as completing his assignments and keeping up with the other resistance members.
In addition, there are several secondary characters Anton deals with. These people have many problems, mainly finding food and fearing the Nazis who have eyes and ears everywhere. Despite all the problems, Anton and Tereza fall for each other. There are some sex scenes but they aren’t overdone. In fact, nothing is overdone to the degree of deflecting the attention from the main point of the story.
The story is very well written and with a good amount of nail-biting suspense. Character portrayal is excellent both for the primary and the secondary characters.
The prose may feel brisk or even dry to some readers, but I liked it because of its briskness, as it heightens the emotion by focusing on the action. In such a dramatic, action-filled story, florid descriptions, excess focus on emotions, and fancy language would cut into the flow of the plot.
