Top Five Favorite Military Romances

5. Pearl Harbor
Such a heart-tugger. The history also reminds me of conversations with my grandparents. This is definitely a repeat watch for me.

4. Stripes
A comedy, but what a classic! My husband and I have watched this so many times we can recite most of the lines. And the scene where they perform in the military parade with Bill Murray leading, what a keeper moment! I love how his girlfriend can’t help but chuckle in the stands. I understand exactly how she feels. ;)

3. The Lucky One
Sooooo good! This movie speaks to me on so many levels – from the romanticism to the fragile nature of life even for the strongest of the strong. This movie/book touches my heart.

2. An Officer and a Gentleman
I really appreciate the character growth for both the hero and heroine in this one. They’re stronger, better people for having known each other. They earn their happily ever after. And the hat scene at the end – yum!

1. Top Gun
First date with my husband! Need I say more?!

Nestled in the sunny fields of Tennessee lies the McDaniel family’s Second Chance Ranch Animal Rescue. Two new arrivals are on their way, but only one is the four-legged kind.

Staff Sergeant Mike Kowalski wants only one thing after he gets home from Iraq: to sleep in a king-sized bed with clean sheets. But first, he has to hand off his fallen commander’s dog, Trooper, to his family without handing off his heart to Sierra…

Sierra McDaniel needs a break. Her family life is crazy, and when she’s not mucking out kennels, she’s slogging through grad school. Sierra certainly doesn’t want another dog, especially one that reminds her of her father. And she definitely doesn’t want to see Mike with that charming smile of his…

But Trooper has a mission of his own. Before too long Mike is moving to the ranch to lend a hand—and hoping for his own second chance with Sierra.
