Reader Question – The book where they promised to write letters while she was away at school, and her mom hid his letters…

By 7 Comments

Bhargavi has another one for us to guess! What a rude mom!!! Grrrrrr!!!

She asks:

If you don’t mind I have another story which I forgot the book name.

The story is Heroine lives with her mom in America/ England. But she cames to know about her father/ grand father and decided to meet him. He used to live in western country side.

When heroine went to the village she cames to know that the person was dead. In that village she mets the Hero who is a local country side boy. He likes music and plays a instrument (sorry I forgot which instrument). Heroine spends some time in that country side village and loves Hero. But I think they are teenagers or young adults. read more

Bhargavi needs our book help! Okay… I know the title of this post sounds vague but there’s a reason. I spoiler alerted at the CRAZY part below and wanted to make sure you knew it gets crazy.

OMG GOODNESS… past the spoiler alert, the detail blew my mind. Now I’m dying to know what this one is, ’cause I still don’t know how it ends.

So let’s just the say the spoiler makes me want to read this!

She asks:

Hii,

Reader Question – The book about the Hero that’s in the military & the heroine writes to him (and it’s not Dear Aaron)

By 8 Comments

Gauri needs our book help! And I LOVE military romance especially with that slow burn of letters and a developing romance (and maybe a feeling of unrequited love too). Eeeeep! 😉

She asks:

Hi,

I am a big fan of your website and I visit it religiously for book recommendations.

I have a book question..

I had read a book around 3-4 years back. It’s a slow burn and it’s not Dear Aaron…. similarity between 2 books is hero is in millitary and heroine writes to him…they decide to keep it simple and nothing serious. read more

Reader Recommendations – Our favorite books where they fall in love via text, chat, emails or letters…

UPDATED March 18th 2023!!

This is Jody’s request and I wholeheartedly agree that this trope is SO MUCH FUN!!! Let’s make a list!

Yep! I think this is a great idea for a list, since so many real-life couples that have fallen in love (and even married) started off in chat rooms. I remember back in the old AOL days… 😉

She asks:

Jody: How about books where they fall via text, email or letters like Dear Aaron or Let’s Get Textual

Cicely: YAAAS DEAR AARON WAS AWESOME TOO!

D.G. Dear Aaron was a five star for me also! Heck, I love all her books. It is definitely a slow burn… read more

Book Review – Dear Aaron by Mariana Zapata

By 1 Comment

Dear Aaron
Sweet and slow and serene. Another love story from the QUEEN of slow-burn romance and everything in between! I simply can’t get enough of her!

This one had me SO excited. I loved the premise. She was a pen pal for a military hero that was still on duty, and they corresponded every chance he had. Each letter, each moment, each event, detailed as they got to know each other. I was ELATED in what I was about to embark upon. That sweet-slow burn of two characters falling in love through writing without ever seeing each other. Long distance friendship, love… devotion and fear of the unknown. I KNOW this is possible and real. read more
