I read this one in February and enjoyed it.

This book is the definition of slow burn. The first part is a series of letters, emails and IMs between Ruby and Aaron who is away on deployment with the Army. I enjoyed this slow ramp up and it was obvious to me when their relationship became more than just penpals. I was so excited for them to finally meet up. Great characters and the plot was so realistic. 4.5⭐️.

This was a reread and I loved it just as much as the first time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ◼️ I realize that I haven‘t been posting much here or posting any reviews. Thank you to all who have sent me birthday cards. (It‘s tomorrow) I am saving them to open tomorrow. I finished this book just in time for my birthday and I wouldn‘t have it any other way since this is the 4th time I have read it. Here‘s the link. Enjoy! https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2087811501 #LitsyLove

Okay friends, here are some romance that have been on my TBR for a while and may work for #LMPBC!! Family for Beginners may be a bit more novel-y than romance, but I have enjoyed other of Morgan's books before so I left it on the list haha I have SO many to choose from, so I come up with another batch if none of these suit!!

I am embarrassed to admit that I have read this 4 times. Each time I am sucked in by the email/text correspondence that connects Ruby and Aaron through a Military Adoption Service the connect civilians to personal deployed. Just the right amount of romance/friendship.

November Book 17/25 #LitsyLove

Brilliant approach!!!

I completely loved the fact that most of the book was written in the form of instant messages or emails between Aaron and Ruby. It's so fits today's life as well as military life (seeing as phones aren't readily available). Their banter was awesome. Their connection was electric.

*****I need more of Ruron!!! PLEASE!!!!!

Hey there @robinB @hes7 @LovesBooks87 - do any of these sound good for #LMPBC ? I always seem to be behind on reading new romances, so if everyone has already read these, I can choose a few more options from my never-ending TBR (see: I'm always behind on reading new romances haha) Let me know what you think!!

Three great books featuring #loveletters

This was an impulse Kindle purchase for a couple of bucks... It quickly turned into the fastest 500 pages I've read in awhile! I'm assuming there is more from this author I need to investigate...

I liked the two main characters, Ruby & Aaron, and found the arch of their romance believable, but Ruby spent too much time apologizing. It‘s a small thing, but in a #romantsy, if the heroine is going to grow a backbone, it has to be with the support of the hero, not just for the hero. I love other works by this author and the next book in this series is amazing!

In summary, it has sweet moments, but for the most part it was boring. No, I don‘t mean slow-paced or with a slow burn. I mean boring. There are similar but much better stories on Wattpad, and they‘re free.

I have unexpectedly found myself reading this book. The main character is Filipino and there‘s a food scene that could be problematic. I‘m not up to that yet. Starts as an epistolary. Cute, but I thought the heroine was a teen. Turns out she‘s 23! You can find my livetweets here: https://twitter.com/bookthingo/status/957904043870863360

This was the perfect romantic meal of a book I needed to bring me back to center after the anger I felt after reading The Answers. Ruby Santos signs up to be a pen pal with a military serviceman stationed overseas. She gets paired with Aaron. Ensue romance. The first half of this book is e-mails and texts. My only gripe was how insecure Ruby could be but that doesn‘t take away all the smiling I did while reading this book.

I‘m a sucker for the cheese!!!!! This easy breezy book, so far, has wiped away a layer of grime from my soul left by To Catch a Predator, Dateline NBC, The Craigslist Killer, The movie Catfish, every program on the ID channel. (Did I forget any?) These two characters watching a sunrise together, after the first time they met in real life, met as online pen pals, he in the military, her a civilian. It‘s quite nice.

Not my favorite book by Zapata. It was just a bit too slow, mostly due to the first part told just through email exchanges. And, it's a little difficult to enjoy a romance novel when the romantic lead shares a name with your brother. 😂

I really liked this. It's written in an email format/letter exchange for a good bit of it but I liked the change. #slowburn #romance #Augustbooks
