I received a complimentary e-copy of Letters Home in exchange for an honest review.Danielle and Nate are the golden couple. They've been dating since they first met in high school and have 9 years under their belts together. Their relationship has gotten stronger through the years, as Dani makes her way through law school and Nate enlists in the Army and even gets deployed for a few months. They are finally at the point where they are planning their wedding and planning their future together, when Nate is once again being deployed. Unfortunately the Army didn't take their wedding day into account when they decided to ship him out, so rather than waiting for him to return, they have a private ceremony and Dani kisses her husband goodbye, knowing they'll have a big ceremony for their friends and family after he comes back home.Then tragedy strikes and Dani has to try to piece her life back together in a way that is completely against everything they'd planned.Enter Tanner. He was a medic in Nate's unit and he and Dani become friends, each one carrying their own grief as they try to heal. They start to rely on each other more and more and begin their own relationship with each other, but the memory of Nate is an obstacle for them. Will they be able to pick up the pieces together or are they both just too broken to move on?Letters Home is a beautifully written story. Rebecca Brooke did a great job in making me fall in love with both Dani and Nate, even knowing that they were not going to be getting their deserved Happily Ever After. My heart broke for Dani as she struggled to get through her day to day after the knock on the door completely through her life off course and it broke again for Tanner as he started to realize the strength of his feelings for Dani, not knowing if she would be able to ever accept a second chance at happiness. I had tears of joy, and tears of sorrow and then once again tears of uncertainty as I made my way through the book.Great job Rebecca Brooke!!
