Well sheesh. To say that I completely adored this book would not be doing it enough justice. Being the wife of a Soldier of my own, I think I signed up for this event strictly on principal. I am extremely glad I did because I got to enjoy one amazing story. A story that after reading, I went back and read the first two novels as well! If you’re planning to curl up on the couch with a glass of wine soon, this is the perfect book to add to that mix!Ellie is someone I connected with instantly! While I don’t teach dance, I am the sister of a soldier lol. Most of the things she felt and thought in the book, even when it came to her pen pal, I knew from first hand experience. After falling for the wrong guys over and over again, she decides no guys for a year.. Good thing too, because the one person that she actually CAN see herself with, is on the other side of the letters she has looked forward to reading. Hoping to connect with him on another level when he returns, she’s kind of shocked whens he loses all contact with him for months. Then she meets “Hunter” and things just… well they just get interesting.I 100% LOVED Charlie. He reminds me so much of so many of the soldiers I have come to know and love! Seeing what they see over there and doing what they do — most of them choose to go the non commitment route, since they are gone so much, it seems to be easier for them. After he survived the attack that injured his best friend, Charlie decided that he needs to make some changes in his life. Imagine his surprise when Sam introduces him to Ellie has Hunter.. Like I said before.. things get interesting.I love Sam as the older brother type. Although he and Hunter are close, is in no shape, way or form happy about him starting a relationship with Ellie. One of Charlie’s biggest struggles is bouncing back and forth between the loyalty he has for Sam and the feelings he has for Ellie. Waiting on the biggest turn of events to smack everyone in the face was nail-biting! I loved every single second of it though!This was such a beautifully written story! I loved the emotions portrayed from the characters. I felt each and every single one of them, having lived some of them before. I think the way the events played out went perfectly! The flow of the story seemed effortless and I read the entire book in one sitting! I honestly could not get enough! Falling for Her Soldier by Ophelia London rocked my life & I plan to read any book written by her from this point on!
