Didn't realize this was just an excerpt when I began reading. Well it did exactly as intended, drew me in and left me wanting more. Looking forward to continuing with the story!

This excerpt was short, sweet, and let me wanting more. It did exactly what an excerpt should do. I really enjoy when authors know or at least sound like they know what they are talking about in regards to a main character's passion. With this book , the MC seems to be very into stationary, calligraphy, and creating custom greeting cards, wedding announcements, and other designs. The way the author discusses the MC's choices and techniques felt very spot on and made the excerpt all the more intriguing. What really took the cake for me though was the final lines. Ending on a cliffhanger like that made me want to grab this book right away. I am definitely going to be putting this on my "Want to Read List" on Goodreads and maybe even my spending my Christmas money on it once it's released.

The first chapter of Love Lettering has done exactly what every book should do: leave the reader wanting more. I am completely hooked. The writing is crisp and the premise is fresh. The first chapter flowed beautifully and I loved being inside Meg's mind. I cannot wait to see how the dynamic plays out between Meg and Reid. I love a romance where two people, who seem to have nothing in common, slowly figure each other out and fall in love (especially when the odds are stacked against them). The only thing I don't like is how long I will have to wait until the novel comes out! This novel is definitely one to look out for in the coming months!

The first chapter left me wanting more!!!! Looking forward to seeing what comes next for Meg. Her history with the store and Reid is intriguing.

My bad. I thought this was the whole book. But turned out only excerpt. Oh well...at least this makes me want to get my grubby hands on the book ASAP

So far this excerpt is only the first chapter. That being said, the first chapter of this left me wanting to read more! Can't wait to find out more about these characters.

I think about fonts a lot. It's part of my job. So when a book opens with a meditation on sans serif fonts, I am there for it. Then we widen out to information about our heroine, where she's working, and her (not) relationship to our hero. This is a delightful first chapter and it has me wanting more.

I was super excited to read this excerpt from Love Lettering, and look forward to providing a more complete review when I get a chance to read the entire book.

Bummer that this is only an opening chapter, but a Clayborn novel is always much anticipated. And, from the opening, Love Lettering will be no less ... at least by this reviewer! "Some more, please?"

I didn't realize this was just an excerpt. I enjoyed the title and hope it comes with a vocabulary/glossary of print terms. It left my hanging and I really want to know what happens!

This first chapter was intriguing and I really want to read the rest of the book. It's interesting that she thinks I'm color!

I was so sure that I had made a mistake in the download. Seems strange to give a review for only one chapter. But I am very very intrigued and look forward to receiving the remainder of the book.

Such an intriguing first chapter! Looking forward to reading the rest of the book when available and getting answers to my many questions. The whole concept is fascinating and I was immediately drawn into the heroine’s world.

A really delightful snippet of this book. I'm super excited to read the full book!
Clayborn's writing is charming and really engaging. Really great opening that sucks you in.

Oh this is gonna be so good!

Meg is a hand-lettering master who has been sought out so much for doing wedding sets that she'd have been booked for the next forever if she hadn't left the wedding paper business after designing Reid and Avery's invites. When she first met Reid, all she could see was sadness...she thinks. So she snuck something into the lettering on their invites. One year later, where this novel starts, Reid comes in to the shop wedding-ring-less and pulls out a crumpled invite and asks how Meg knew his marriage would fail.

And so it begins! Just this first chapter has been released and I am hooked! I can't wait to read the rest. Publishing day can't come soon enough for this.

Thank you NetGalley, Kate Clayborn and Kensington Books for this teaser. I am sufficiently teased and want it all!

Definitely hooked on the teaser alone! I've been recommended Clayborn's titles before and I've got her Luck series on my to-read list so that will for sure keep me occupied until this one comes out. The concept is so fresh and unique and Clayborn's voice is distinct and engaging.

Bummed this was only a teaser however what I did read has intrigued me. Can't wait for the whole book!

Well, that excerpt hooked me! I can't wait to get my hands on the finished book. The main male character gave me Darcy vibes and I love that the main female character has a creative career. From their banter, I feel like this is gearing up to be a very entertaining read.
