When I was given the opportunity of reading this as an ARC I did a little happy dance; Playing at Love was the first Bliss book I ever read, I loved it and subsequently Speaking of Love and I'd always hoped that Tess' brother Charlie would get his story.Charlie has a pen-friend, Ellie, sister of his best friend and the man whose life he saved in Afghanistan. They've never met, both have developed feelings and when they do there's a case of mistaken identity; Ellie has no idea Charlie is Charlie but Hunter, her brother's playboy army buddy. Having sworn off men for a year, she has no intention of being another of his conquests and is waiting for the day she meets Charlie...I have to confess I found it a little steady to start with, but when it did get going it was fun, sweet and very romantic with some real touching moments; the all too true reality of what our armed forces suffer whilst on deployment and after was handled with sensitivity and realism. Charlie and Ellie have a wonderful chemistry and are so loveable; both are flirts and the way Charlie chips his way into Ellie's affections, despite her brother's warnings, is charming, heartwarming and fun. And whilst the path their story took didn't hold any major surprises, the reveal, as expected as it was, did.With Tess, Jack, Mac & Rick ever present and their lives evolving, Falling for Her Soldier is a good addition to the series and one I would recommend.I received a copy of this as an ARC from the publisher for an honest and unbiased opinion.
