Falling for Her Soldier by Ophelia London is the third novel in her Perfect Kisses Series and an enjoyable lighthearted read that lifts your spirits and brings a smile to your face. I curled up with my e-reader and was sucked in instantly. From start to finish I loved every bit of this story.These characters are likeable and wholesome. They make mistakes, but there is nothing truly damning about their character flaws. Ellie Bell has turned her passion for dance and helping others into a career. She teaches little girls the art of ballet and dance and spends her free time volunteering at a facility for Veterans called Warrior Station. Her brother, Sam, was injured during a deployment. Through this troubling incident, she has established a friendship via e-mail with one of his friends and fellow soldier, Charlie. Despite her self imposed, year long “man vacation”, Ellie can’t help her blossoming feelings for him.Charlie “Big Game Hunter” Johansson is in the Army and the only thing he’s better at than being a soldier is garnering female attention. When Sam is injured, Charlie takes it upon himself to contact Ellie with the news and subsequent updates. This correspondence develops into a connection he’s never felt for a woman. A connection that makes him want to be a man worthy of Ellie.As I said before, I really enjoyed this story. I found the plot to be something familiar, as most romances are, but fresh and new. There’s an abundance of romance, heart-warming moments, and just enough drama to keep things interesting without overwhelming. I loved the connection between the characters, the humor, and the happily ever after. This story is both fantastic and feel good. I highly recommend Falling for Her Soldier to anyone looking for an uplifting romance that will brighten their mood.
