This book was a very interesting read and there were definitely a few twists and turns that I did not expect. It is not my go to genre but the description was very intriguing. The spice in the book was chef’s kiss. Upon finishing it, I immediately had to reread it.

I was so excited to receive a copy of "Pen Pal" byJ.T. Geissinger. Fans and new readers alike will love this book!

Wow! I understand now why people are going crazy over this book because this was phenomenal. It's not just a romance - and when you think you've finally figured out what's happening with the mystery aspect of it, you haven't. The only thing that frustrated me was the description - I understand after reading the whole book the importance of the pen pal. However, the title and placing so much emphasis on the "pen pal" in the summary despite that he was barely in the first 80% of the book wouldn't have been my first choice. Other than that, absolutely spectacular writing and one of the best twist endings I have ever read in my life.

This book was not what I expected. I expected a dark romance of some kind but not the story that this one unfolded. It was good but definitely something out of my wheelhouse with the turns this book gave.

Immediately on finishing this book, I added it to our romance book club schedule for the year. Wow.

I was prepared for a dark romance going in - we've got a haunted house, mysteriously delivered letters, fabulous! The steamy scenes were a good level of spice and the moments that felt confusing were done so by design. This read was entirely unexpected for me, with an ending I would have never predicted while still living up to the requirement of a HEA romance ending!

This is a fabulous romance for fans of suspense and thrillers with unreliable narrators like YOU or GONE GIRL!

I was really intrigued by this book, however, I felt it was a bit off for me. There's a dead husband, a haunted house, a lot of sex with her roof contractor, and random letters that showed up from a guy in prison. This book wasn't for me but I do know a few people who would love this book.

Holy cow. I did NOT see any of this coming. I'll give it * peppers on the spice level and 10 skulls on the WHAT?!?! level. A great read I could not put down. It was more than the blurb suggested in all the very best ways! Can't wait to read more by this author!
