LOVE LETTERS, INC. (Romance and smiles) Kindle Edition

Wrong address... Right guy.
Rosie O'Hanlon wants kids. Lots of kids. And she wants a man who'll value home, hearth, and a horde of happy children as much as she does. But, hey, this is the 21st century, full-throttle motherhood can be a tough sell at the best of times, and right now she's sidelined by a neck brace due to some recent surgery. She intends to kick start her search for the ideal father figure the minute the brace comes off.

By day Rosie is a technical writer, by night she's an ink-stained scribe who pens old-fashioned love letters for the romantic at heart. She'd kind of, sort of, hoped LOVE LETTERS, INC. would help pay the groaning mortgage on her aging house. Not happening. But she enjoys the letter writing too much to stop. She particularly enjoys writing letters for Gardenia to her fiancé Kent Summerton.

The problem is Kent isn't engaged, to Gardenia or anyone else. Kent is the sexy-hot, very much single owner manager of a prestigious local resort. Ambitious, organized, and over-scheduled, Kent does not find the anonymous letters he's receiving from Gardenia amusing. And when they become more and more explicit, he decides to track Gardenia down and put a stop to her purple pen.

All roads lead to Rosie, who's not happy to learn she's been duped by Gardenia into writing erotic spam. She's even less happy to be instantly attracted to work-crazed Kent. With his green eyes, chiseled chin, and muscles in all the right places, he might be calendar material, but he's so-o not the man for her, and so-o absolutely not the future father of her many children. After all, a six-pack of abs doesn't trump family values.

Rosie's right. Kent doesn't want a passel of kids. Kent wants a successful business, an organized life, and a clean balance sheet. Kids? Time sucks and trouble. This he knows. Or thinks he knows. But Kent doesn't know what trouble is, until he starts wanting what he can't have--Rosie O'Hanlon.

I live and write on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. With the ocean and a beautiful city harbour just steps from my door, I consider myself one very lucky writer. But I have to say that my real luck is being married to Tim, my first and final husband.

I am the polar opposite of the revered Domestic Goddess. I enjoy solitude and all things book-related, tolerate some required physical activity for my health's sake and have, over time, come to the conclusion that life is not a bowl of cherries; it's more a mix of hocus pocus, good and bad surprises, and unexpected rainfall. All of which is completely beyond my control. I'm not sure I trust the Universe's running of things, but I respect it. I do trust in the power of a good book. Books have been my companions, friends, and teachers all of my life. They've introduced me to amazing characters, fed my curious mind, and taken me away on grand vacations. Books are "my precious."

I write both contemporary romance and romantic suspense, the latter because sometimes a nasty and conniving villain pops into my head and I just have to get him out.

I mess with Facebook occasionally: bits about my books and occasional thoughts on life when it gets particularly confusing. I also noodle around on Twitter, never quite knowing why.

I have a Website with most of my books listed, although Amazon does a much better job of staying current with that information than I do.

A great romance; I loved it!

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2012

I felt like I was getting to know a real person instead of a character when I was introduced to Rosie in Love Letters, Inc. She was everything I would want in a friend: warm, generous, intelligent, a sense of humor, and loved big dogs. When she met Kent, an ambitious, driven, sexy, workaholic (but with a tender heart that he tried to hide), a spark was immediately struck. Rosie fought the attraction because more than anything else in life she wanted a big family with LOTS of children and she knew that Kent wouldn't want to take time away from his business for a family. The dialogue in this book was simply marvelous; it felt more like listening to a conversation than reading a story. The imagery was excellent and I really felt like I was immersed in the story with all my senses engaged. I hated to come to the (happy) end of the story because I enjoyed it so much and I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a terrific love story with an original twist.

Laugh Out Loud Funny!

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2012

Verified Purchase

I love a book that can make me laugh. I'm not talking about a smile or a snicker, but an outright, can't-stop-yourself guffaw. Occasionally I'll find a book that tickles me so much I'm compelled to stop reading, log on to facebook and recommend it to friends, family and anyone who hasn't blocked my posts. "Love Letters, Inc." is such a book.

Workaholic Kent is definitely not the kind of man Rosie is looking to meet. She longs to settle down and start a family with a man who wants a brood of children. Kent is too busy to eat let alone give the attention that a large family would require. Rosie, decked out in a metal neckbrace, broken glasses repaired with a paperclip and loud socks shouldn't have made an impression on Kent, but she did. They are instantly smitten, much to their chagrin.

The dialog between Rosie and Kent is so effortlessly witty that you long to have their comebacks in your own verbal arsenal. Their banter isn't mean-spirited and has just the right amount of sass. Rosie's internal pleadings to Lady Brain and rebukes to Hormone are equally charming. Try as she might, Lady Brain can't save Rosie from that floozy, Hormone.

For those that are interested, I would give the book a "warm" sensuality rating. Hormone does, after all, win the battle. The love scenes are sensual, not ultra-graphic, but also contain a bit of humor. The only purple prose you'll find is in the love letters Rosie pens for her side business "Cyrano, Inc."

Obviously, I recommend this book. A wall post to over 300 facebook friends proves my love, but alas my declaration will be timelined and never seen again. Here's hoping this review reaches 300 more people who'll read the book and love it as much as I did.

If this book ends up tickling your funny bone, then read The Frog Prince by Elle Lothlorien. It was the only other book that made me nearly break a wrist logging on to facebook. You'll be so forever grateful, you might name your kids after me! :)

One of the best books ever

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2012

I bought Love Letters on a whim and am so grateful I did. I read it in one night. Couldn't put it down. Rosie O'Hanlon is one of the most memorable characters I've ever read. She's smart, she's funny, she's quirky, but most of all she's human and we can all relate to her. I loved the premised of the book and found myself right in Rosie's brain. Kent's, too. And so many times I just laughed out loud. When as the last time you read a book by yourself and found yourself laughing out loud? The author has a very deft touch in her writing and I have just trolled Amazon for more of her books. I can't recommend this book highly enough. On your worst day it will make you smile and laugh and feel good.

Just okay....

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2013

For me at least, this story just did not connect. The author never made me feel that this romance was real. It was more about lust than any kind of love connection. I would have loved to see the author go a little more in depth with the characters, too. Maybe that would have helped make the characters a little more real to me, who know?

Would I recommend this book? Probably not.

Would give this one 3 1/2 stars if that was an option

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

I debated on what I'd give this book for quite some time and as 3.5 stars wasn't an option, I rounded up. It is a good quick light read. The characters are well written and the storyline is easy to follow. I think for me, I struggle with their relationship. It seemed to be based solely on the physical aspects. They fall quickly in lust followed quickly by love. She's fighting her attraction because she believes they have different goals in life. Although I enjoyed the book, it just seemed to be too heavily based on physical attraction. I believe the characters could be strongly attracted, but at the point that they fell in love I just didn't think they knew a whole lot about each other and the things they liked were all physical elements. To me that is not that romantic. Overall, it was an interesting book and if you don't mind the lack of depth in the relationship it's a fun story. I personally wouldn't allow a young adult to read this one.

At first when I read the synopsis to Love Letters, INC I just knew that I needed to buy this ebook. I adored Kent and Rosie. Kent has a high stressed job and is a hardworking man. Rosie is a technical writer and also writes love letters as a side job. It is within these letters that set in motion the meeting of Kent and Rosie. I enjoyed seeing them get to one another. As they learn about each other Kent realizes that he is ready for the commitment of marriage and children. Rosie decides that instead of wanting a dozen pair of kids she would rare compromise with Kent on a deal. In the they agree to five children. Overall this was a cute story with two wonderful characters who found love within each other.

It's true I guess opposites do attract!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 8, 2013

I was wanting something light hearted and fun to read, nothing too heavy, and I'm glad that I actually came across Love Letters Inc. From the very start of the book I was hooked right to the end. Rosie O'Hanlon is one character I would love to have as my best friend! She is absolutely a blast. Her wit and humour is out of this world, and if Kent wasn't going to scoop her up and take her in his life forever then he was going to be a complete and utter idiot in my opinion.

Rosie is this flame haired woman who loves to write, and on the side has her own business where she writes love letters, she's a complete and utter hopeless romantic. She has been employed by Gardenia to write to her 'fiance' the owner of a luxury resort. However, it turns out that Kent is not Gardenia's fiance, and he becomes a little disturbed with the letters he is receiving. He traces the letters back to Rosie, and from their very first interaction there was a spark of chemistry between them.

Rosie, even though she acknowledges there is a connection, tries not to act upon it because in her ideal world she would find the man of her dreams, have a huge family of children and big dogs, her dog, Font, is absolutely a darling in this book, however Kent is a workaholic, wants a clean and neat life and kids, well they don't really fit in. Complete opposites of each other, and still even with funky socks and a pile of metal around her neck and torso they are physically attracted to each other, and are full of lust.

I absolutely love the humour of this book, I laughed out loud several times, and it was just really a pleasure to read this book. Absolutely loved the ending and I was rooting for these guys from the start. Yes I know to some it maybe shallow that it's all about physical attraction, but in realistic terms physical attraction plays a part no matter how big or small in relationships. These guys fell in love, even though ti seems they just might not make that dream of Rosie's come true!

I would definately recommend this book if you are wanting something light hearted, fun, witty and quick to read. I promise once you start reading it you will be sucked right in by Rosie and you'll thank her for it :)

Of course it's "only" a romance, but it is warm-hearted and light and well-written.
A nice book for a quick read. Go for it!
