Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Completely blown away! Not only was I moved to the point of speechlessness, but I felt ALL the emotional things that once I finished the book still keep leaking out of my eyes.

I feel completely gobsmacked. I fell in love with the beautiful love story and followed along trying to find all of the twists before they happened, but alas…I never saw the train before it ran me over. Holy smokes!! What a fantastic book!!!

I don’t even know where to begin without giving even the teeny-tiniest hint away at the ever evolving mystery or intrigue that grew throughout the entire book. Between the pen pal letters, secondary characters and main character plot development the entire book held me in its grip, gave me goosebumps and has basically left me with a lasting impression that will not be leaving any time soon.

Yes, this book is HAWT, and yes that needed to be capitalized, but it also delves into subjects well beyond the smexy, smutty times and I loved those just as much. Soooo, let’s recap what I haven’t been able to say, but I’ll reiterate anyway…WOW, just WOW!! Amazing book!

Synopsis:
The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence:

I’ll wait forever if I have to.

It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know.

Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply?

You.

I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn’t. I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong.

We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then one day, the letters stopped. When I found out why, it was already too late.

Dante was at my doorstep.

And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.

Excerpt

“Rule #4: You can never have too many shoes.”
“Okay? I’m sorry…I really don’t see how that applies.”
“Well. It’s a Single Girl Rule. And I’m a single girl. And I’ve only bought like ten new pairs of shoes since college started, so I’m kind of slacking on that rule.”
Teddybear shook his head. “And how exactly does buying new shoes help save Ash?”
“It’ll help us think.”
“Will it?”
“Uh, yes. It’s scientifically proven that girls think best while trying on new shoes.” Duh.

Meet Veronica Eden

Veronica Eden is an international bestselling author of dark new adult romances + reverse harem romances with spitfire heroines and irresistible heroes.

She loves exploring complicated feelings, magical worlds, epic adventures, and the bond of characters that embrace us against the world. She has always been drawn to gruff bad boys, clever villains, and the twisty-turns of morally gray decisions. She believes sometimes the villain should get the girl and is a sucker for a deliciously devilish antihero.

Veronica also writes romance as Mara Townsend.

When not writing, she can be found soaking up sunshine at the beach, snuggling in a pile with her untamed pack of animals (her husband, dog and cats), and surrounding herself with as many plants as she can get her hands on.
