Book Review: A Thousand Letters by Staci Hart

Have you read “A Thousand Letters” by Staci Hart? It’s a must-read!

A Thousand Letters by Staci Hart

I think I was able to download this book for free or there was an advertised deal so I snagged this up.

Why?

First reason – cover love! Swoon! And after a little bit of research I discovered Staci does her own covers. I do appreciate that no one was shirtless AND just the emotion the cover models seemed to capture. She had me sold just on the cover alone. (Staci – please do my future covers for me!)

So let’s talk about the book.

No plot spoilers here!

This contemporary romance is based on Jane Austen’s “Persuasion.” So that’s a win there.

And it’s written in first person. Yes!

And you won’t believe me until you read it, but let me just say that I felt the writing was lyrical, in a sense, so much that it pushed me to turn the pages. I can’t explain it, but I loved the writing! The emotions were captured so well in the words.

I’m a fan! (Except for the sex scenes which I didn’t know I would be encountering). OK sorry that’s a spoiler.

But overall, beautifully written, plotted, and it contains a beautiful cover!

It’s Cover Reveal Day for The Second Chance Trai It’s Cover Reveal Day for The Second Chance Trailer Park by Katie Powner! This funny, feel-good story releases July 21. About the book:

Fifty-two-year-old Meredith McGillicutty is not having a midlife crisis. She’s just ready for a change of pace, that’s all. The fact that she lied to get into a retirement community has nothing to do with being passed over for a promotion at work nor her recent breakup with the only man she’s ever loved.

Nothing.

Meredith only wants some peace and quiet. To sit on a porch in elastic-waist pants and mingle with other mature individuals who value a life of serenity. But the residents of the Peaceful Pines retirement community have other plans for her. These quirky and endearing neighbors seem to know her better than she knows herself, and they decide Meredith’s life is only just beginning. #coverreveal #katiepowner #fictionbook
