This is my first book by Ophelia London and now I am wondering why I haven't read her other books, cause I loved this one. This book is book 3 in the series. I didn't know it before I read, so you cant totally read this as a stand alone. I am going to go back and read the others in the series. That is how much I liked this book.Falling For Her Solider centers around Ellie Bell, a ex-balleriena who had to retire because of a serious injury. She is back in her hometown and has taken over her mom's old dance studio. She also has really bad taste in men. Really, really bad. So to take time for herself, she has imposed  a year ban on men and dating. She has only 24 days left when she meets Charlie “Big Game Hunter” Johansson.Charlie is one of her brother's best friends from Iraq. Charlie is home waiting for his next assignment. Since Ellie's brother was badly injured, he is also spending  lot of time with him when he recovers both physically and mentally. The soldiers spend a lot of time at the Warriors Station. The Warrior Station is a place for soldiers to go for group therapy, hang out, talk to other soldiers etc.Charlie runs into Ellie his first time there. There is a spark between them immediately. Little does Ellie know that Charlie was the solider emailing her when her brother was wounded. Ellie cherished her emails between Charlie and herself. She feel something special between the two of them, even though she never met him. Charlie abruptly stops emailing Ellie for no reason. Ellie was extremly sadden. She felt like there was something between them. When she meets Charlie she doesn't realize it is him who sent the emails and he doesn't want to tell her.... right away.Charlie and Ellie has started to fall in love in the emails, but the time they spend together makes them fall in love a little more. When the Warrior Station is going to be shut down because they lose their funding, both Ellie and Charlie come up with a plan to fundraiser. Ellie suggest the two of the headline with a dance.Charlie and Ellie  have a rocky relationship but it is both hot and heart warming. I thought this was a great read. Ellie is a strong independent women.She doesn't need  a man. She will not settle for just anyone. Charlie is a man who has made his mistakes in the past. He was a womanizer and learns from his mistakes. He has grown and changed.This was a great read. I sat down and read it all in one night. Once I started, I did not want to put it down. I have a thing for soldiers ;)
