Letter from Home Series - Maryann Jordan

♥♥♥♥

Don't you just love it when you find a new troupe? That one storyline that makes your heart beat faster, and makes you go through countless pages on Amazon trying to find your next fix. My latest favourite is letters to soldiers, yes, you will see a lot of these types of books on the blog for a while. So I thought it best to combine the first series in one post. 

The first book in this series is called Class of Love,

When Letters From Home make all the difference. Ethan Miller, an Army Apache Helicopter mechanic, was on tour in Afghanistan, biding his time as he worked hard and played hard. Brooke Thompson, a fourth-grade teacher, was leading her class in a project to write to a soldier. 

Through the letters and gifts, Ethan grew to care for the group of children…and their teacher.

What more do you need? This story is so wholesome, with a handsome hero who will steal your heart. This is a sweet story about a teacher, who as a class project asks children to write to a soldier, the children ask the soldier questions, and he answers them. Through their interactions they get to know one another, our main characters then also start falling for each other through their writing. It is a quick read and makes you crave more, which is a good thing because there is more. This was my favourite book in the series.

The second book in the series is Freedom of Love,

Brody Molina, an Army medic on tour in Afghanistan, saved lives every day but preferred to spend his downtime with a good book. Molly Thurston, working in a library, sent boxes to books to soldiers overseas. Slipping a note into one, she wondered who would write back. Finding each other through a love of books, the friends continue to write, but Molly, with a secret to hide, is afraid of her growing attraction. 

When the secret is revealed, will the love between two pen pals overcome all obstacles? 

This has a sweet story, that is full of hope and redemption for our main character. Romance stories where the characters fall in love through letters written to each other really makes me very happy. There were some plot holes that did niggle a little in the back of my mind, but it was still very satisfying. 

The last book in this series is Bond of Love,

Ben Fowler, an Army mechanic on tour in Afghanistan, loved listening to his squad member read letters from his sister. Alicia Newton’s letters to her twin brother kept them as close as ever. When tragedy strikes, she relies on his friend, Ben, to fill the void. As Ben and Alicia help each other with shared grief, they grow closer. But as Ben’s job is still dangerous, Alicia wonders if she can risk her heart again. 

Can two broken hearts find healing in each other? 

This was my second favourite in the series, a beautiful story of friends to lovers which is probably one of my favourite types of books. This book made me cry and laugh. It really has a special place in my heart.

I think what made this series special was the fact that if you felt like it, you could read each book as a stand alone book, or in different orders. Truly a great read when you find a new troupe.
