Complimentary copy provided by author for an honest review.Where to start? First off, be warned, you will need a box of Kleenex to get through this book! Don't say I didn't warn you!I absolutely loved this story of Danielle and Nate is so beautiful and tragic, and Tanner is just OMG Swoonworthy! Danielle and Nate have been high school sweethearts and have been together through so much, her in Law School, Nate deciding to join the Army and surviving deployments and time apart. Just when everything starts to go as planned tragedy strikes, and this is where you will need your Kleenex (or puffs, whatever you prefer).Danielle's way of coping is shutting people out and throwing everything she has in to work. Just when she finally starts to get out and enjoy life again, Tanner enters with something that throws her again. The emotions that Danielle shows during her encounter with Tanner, let me know that everything will be ok. She's so angry and when reading this part, I was like, I know we will still go through some hard parts in this book, but she is going to be ok.There were a few times in this story that I wanted to strangle Danielle. I got frustrated with her, but understand why she did and said what she did. I loved the supporting characters in this book as well, Marissa and Liam, her best friend and her brother, were great and made sure she was fine at all times, but at times I feel as if they coddled her, but it's understandable, they didn't want to push her until she was ready. Collin, oh Collin, I loved him! Nate's best friend and a surrogate big brother to Danielle, he pushed her when she needed to be pushed and I loved him for it. Greg, Tanner's roommate, we didn't see a lot of him, but when he did, he always made an impact to the story! And the Chaplain, he helped Danielle and Tanner through so much and as tough as his job was, I really enjoyed his character and the advise he provided the characters in this book.Letters Home is a very emotional book, and one that you will love. It doesn't have a cliff hanger, it's a stand alone with a HEA! I only wish we would have had a little more of an ending, I felt it ended too soon and I would have loved to see a longer epilogue.If you're looking for a great read, maybe something that will make you cry, Letters Home is the book for you. Rebecca Brooke gets better and better with each book she writes, and Letters Home is her best yet!
