Description

The Captain's Homecoming 

Retired army captain Zach Zelinsky is determined to put his harrowing past behind him and start a quiet life selling his artwork. But the storefront building he buys comes with a tenant—a too-pretty tea shop owner who doesn't give him a moment's rest. Ginger Carleton is rallying the merchants of Maple Springs, Michigan, for a Valentine's Day window-decorating contest. And she's on a mission to convince Zach to lose the gruff exterior and open up to her. As February 14 approaches, the wounded warrior may just find that Ginger is offering exactly what he's been missing: love.

My review: A Soldier's Valentine by Jenna Mindel

4 stars

A nice small town romance. Some drama, romance, likable characters and art. It is also a clean read.  

Retired army captain Zach Zelinsky has come back to his home town after he was fired from the Army.

He has some problems with nightmares.  Zach bought a building.  He plans to have a glass blowing studio and shop.  There is two apartments above that he plans to live above.

Ginger Carleton has a tea shop in half the building and lives in the other apartment above the shop.  She is busy volunteering in town.

Neither Zach or Ginger plan to get involved romantically with each other. It would lead to some problems when it ended. They watch each other shops when they have to leave it. Ginger's best friend is marrying Zach's brother.

the setting is Maple Springs, Michigan

I was given this ebook to read from NetGalley and Harlequin.  In return I agreed to give a honest review of A Soldier's Valentine.
