Finally, a military romance that I actually found enjoyable! Letters From Home is the story of Elena, an army doctor who is home for the holidays. During the year she was in Afghanistan, she received a bunch of heartfelt, love letters from a secret admirer. If it’s possible to fall in love with someone through their words, Elena has done so. She has no idea that it’s her long time friend, Zack, who has been spilling his heart to her all this time. She does hope it’s him, since she realizes she’s in love with him during her time at home. But she still has to know for sure about the man from the letters.Letters From Home was really sweet. I liked how for once it was the woman who was military, but there wasn’t much focus on her career except for giving a reason behind the letters. I also liked that this was an inter-racial romance, but I don’t read Spanish at all, so I was a bit turned off by Elena’s interactions with her family. I have no idea what they were saying! Zack and Elena are really cute together as they explore their feelings for each other, but I could have done without that little bit of drama at the end. It felt very cliche and forced, but overall, I really liked this holiday novella.*Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher for review. No compensation was offered or accepted.
