Wonderfully fun historical romance. There's just something about romance through letters that adds a deeper layer to a story. I would definitely recommend this to clean book readers.

A sweet regency romance with a fun fake courtship trope, and plenty of heart.

Marietta Stone has admired her best friend's brother for a long time, but with a misplaced fanciful letter falls into the wrong hands she finds her self agreeing to a fake courtship with the man in question's cousin.

A charming regency romance with a winning heroine, who has ideas and a desire to truly be helpful to those around her. Marietta agrees to Gerard's scheme, but as time goes on they both find themselves enjoying each other's company more and more. This is a quick and fun read, with likable characters, and witty dialogue. Fake courtship is one of my favorite tropes, and I liked seeing it carried off so well.

Overall, a charming read, with a likable, clean romance set in the regency era. I also really liked Marietta's sister, Anne, who is a quieter soul, but who encourages Marietta to go after what she wants. A satisfying read.

This is a delightful Regency romance with a charming premise. The story follows Marietta Stone, whose private, heartfelt letters to her long-time crush, Frederick Finch, accidentally end up in his house, setting off a chain of events that could ruin her reputation. Enter Gerard Hartwell, a man in need of a suitable heiress to save his family’s estate. When Gerard discovers the letters, he proposes a deal: Marietta will help him court her wealthy sister, and in return, he’ll return her letters and assist her in winning Frederick’s heart. However, as their charade unfolds, the sparks between Marietta and Gerard become undeniable, complicating their carefully laid plans.

This was not my first romance, so as soon as the deal was made, I knew Etta and Gerald would end up together. But what a fun journey it was to see how that would happen. Seeing the little twists in the story that would lead to them realizing they cared for each other. Fans of slow-burn romances should enjoy this story of secrets, bargains, and unexpected love.

4 stars. Good enemies to lovers trope. I love how they are searching for security, but find love instead. Hopeful.
No sex, language, or violence.

An Inconvenient Letter by Julie Wright.
I could not put this one down! Julie wrote two lovable characters falling for each other so beautifully! The parallels of the same thing happening with other characters but the same thing meaning something else with the mains person of interested was so poetic. This was a light read full of happy moments. I highly recommend!

Julie Wright’s An Inconvenient Letter is a delightful blend of wit, charm, and heartfelt storytelling. Wright crafts a narrative that is both engaging and thought-provoking, capturing readers with her clever prose and well-drawn characters.The story revolves around a poignant letter that sets off a chain of events filled with humor and romance. Wright’s protagonist is refreshingly relatable, and her journey is both emotionally resonant and entertaining. The chemistry between characters is wonderfully developed, bringing an added layer of depth to the narrative.

Wright’s writing is sharp and engaging, balancing lighthearted moments with deeper themes of love and self-discovery. The pacing is just right, making it easy to become engrossed in the story. An Inconvenient Letter is a charming read that offers both laughs and heartfelt moments. Julie Wright has delivered a delightful novel that will linger in readers’ hearts long after they’ve turned the last page.

Loved, loved, loved the premise for this one, though this wasn't my favorite from Julie Wright.

Lost love letters, found by the wrong man. A bargain that turns into more. Love found in unexpected places.

There are some darling moments, the characters were fun, and this was a quick, entertaining read, but it wasn't super gripping.

I really enjoyed this sweet clean historical romance. After a letter that was never supposed to be sent ends up in the hands of a cousin, they make an agreement to help each other get the attention of their love interests. I would definitely recommend this one

I love this author's previous books, but really struggled to get invested in this one. There was lots of frustrating communication - or lack of communication and I wish the conflict had been resolved sooner.

1828, London. Marietta writes a letter to her crush but doesn't send it however she does address it, why-why would you address it??? Well a servant sees it and sends it and the recipient's cousin gets the letter and pretty much blackmails her into helping her get her sister. To me this book was meh, there were some entertaining parts but it didn't grab me and really want me to root for these two characters. I do think others will like this book so take my review with a grain of salt.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is such a cute story! While frustrating to see the main characters focus on their own selfish gains, the amount of growth and funny interactions 100% made up for it!

The back and forth between the two main characters got a little tiresome after awhile but overall I enjoyed the novel.

The characters in this novel are fantastic. I love Etta’s Fiery temperament. Cute, funny and totally delightful story!

This was a cute, easy read with a touch YA regency romance. I was excited to read this thinking it would be a regency take on “To All The Boys I Loved Before” with written letters that aren’t meant to be sent. Which gets sent. Cue drama!
💌
I liked Etta and Gerard together. There’s a deal, some fake dating and forced proximity with a love quad (square?😆) with a down on his luck penniless gentleman and a young woman recovering from a scandalalous season before. This book has a little bit of everything.
💌
I feel this book was light. Not fluffy and pretty lacking in high stakes chemistry. The letter at the end helps with sweet romance but the whole time Etta and Gerard were together, there was no butterflies. The fake dating could’ve been played up a lot more. It’s more like fake interest.
