Review: A Great Military Romance

“You’ve taken care of soldiers at war for so long, maybe it’s time someone took care of you.”This was a lovely story. I enjoyed each of the characters and found their relationships to be realistic and fun. I have a soft spot for military personnel, so this story was special to me for that reason and I appreciated that the lifestyle was respected and exploited. There were no silly assumptions made based on their positions. I also loved that the relationship was gradual and didn’t happen over night. It was refreshing to read a story that built that way.Emily’s character was so sweet and I loved that she was able to understand and work with the soldiers. Reza was wonderful in all his imperfectness. He grew and changed as the story moved along and I felt like Emily’s support played a big role in that. The story of returning home and learning to set aside what they have experienced in war and live in a civilian world again is not new, but it is always a struggle. I commend any author who has the courage to bring this to light. Reza was a hero and in many was broken. Emily was a hero for wanting to help the returning soldiers. I found this beautiful.This was a quick read for me, though the book itself was not short, I did read it in an afternoon. I would recommend this story if you like military romances.I give this story 3.5 stars and pair it with a dessert wine like Chenin Blanc.This ARC was generously provided in exchange for an honest review.Read our other reviews and book/drink pairings at [...]
