The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. We do agree that Pen Pal won’t be for everyone, but if you enjoy stories that are a bit outside the box, Pen Pal won’t disappoint! We loved trying to fit all the puzzle pieces together and swooned over the love story contained therein. We thoroughly enjoyed Pen Pal, the reveals were well executed, and whilst we did guess at one, there were others we did not see coming. “If you decide this isn’t what you want, promise me you’ll end it before I fall in love with you.” Is it a HEA in the ‘ traditional’ sense of the word, well, probably not, but it does have a HEA. It’s noted this story has a ‘ non-traditional HEA ‘– well, there is no other way you could describe it. There are plenty of triggers in this story, so please heed the author’s warning before diving in. We can’t really say a lot more, because the mystery and surprise elements are something that must be experienced by the reader. “Like I’ve been living in a dark cave my whole fucking life, and I just stumbled out into the sunlight.” But let’s just say, the chemistry, eroticism, and kink in Pen Pal really heats up! The romance was swoony – anyone questioning if this story contains romance, that’s an emphatic YES! We can’t tell you much about the story as the author relies on the reveals and surprise elements to deliver the blows. ‘We all walk around with a thousand strangers inside us, slumbering quietly until someone else wakes them up.’ Kayla Reece is a thirty-year-old woman trying her best to cope with the passing of her husband Michael some months earlier, whilst dealing with some strange occurrences at her house, and the sudden appearance of letters arriving from a prisoner named Dante. In the telling, some of the details get lost, others embellished until truth is closer to fiction.’ ‘Memories are the stories we tell ourselves about the important events in our lives. Then again, we do thrive on a story with an element of surprise, and Pen Pal delivered on all counts. A dark, erotic, romantic suspense with kink and supernatural elements, a thriller, and plenty of mystery, and we loved it. We were intrigued by this book – and drawn to that cover! Wow! With the synopsis hinting at an epistolary romance, that was another plus, however, the final result was so much more than this! Pen Pal included a mixture of themes, and it worked well.
You can never have one without the other.’ And the deeper your love goes, so too goes the pain.
