My Favorite Souvenir by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward - Romance Book Review

My planned trip for two unexpectedly turned into a trip for one. Rather than let my breakup get me down, I packed my bags and decided a week at a luxury resort was just what I needed.

But one calamity after the next, and suddenly I was stuck without a hotel room, along with a few hundred other people.

It looked like my fancy vacation was about to turn into me sleeping on the hotel lobby floor.

Until I overheard a gorgeous man pretending to be someone he wasn't in order to steal a reservation from a guest who hadn't shown up yet.

When I realized there were two rooms, instead of calling him out, I pretended to be his sister. That's how the story of "Milo and Maddie Hooker" began.

We were the Hookers…

Happily Letter After by Vi Keeland - Book Review

My love story all started with a letter.

Only it wasn't from the man I'd eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who'd written to the magazine that I worked for.

You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn't start up again for months.

So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless...so I thought. Until one day I took things too far.

While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie's wishes, I got a look at her father. Her devastatingly handsome, single dad father.

I should have stopped playing fairy godmother then. I should have left well enough alone. But I just couldn't help myself. I had a connection to this girl. One that had me acting irrationally.

Like when I showed up on their doorstep.

Dirty Letters by Vi Keeland + Penelope Ward - Book Review

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes an unexpected love story that started with a boy and girl and heats up when the man and woman reconnect.

I'd never forgotten him--a man I'd yet to meet.

Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn't have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break.

Until one day it did.

Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one--one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing.
