Serena finds a box of love letters in the attic of an old house she bought to renovate. The letters seem to be quite recent in which a man pours out his soul to a loved one, only to be turned down. Feeling a connection to the writer, she sets out to find him, feeling that this man could be the one for her. It’s as simple as calling the ruggedly handsome (but snobbish) real estate agent and ask for his help. How difficult can that be?
Ian is in financial trouble, and his brother Will is not making things any easier. In fact, he makes it worse when he gets involved in theft, and his solution fails. When Serena phones him to help her find out the house’s history and past owners, he’s even willing to trick an innocent artist.
Together, Ian and Serena goes on a mission to find the author of the letters, and along the way they find the definition of love and loss, and how to deal with them. When things take an unexpected twist, they both risk losing the very thing they fought for and they need to revise their priorities.
I cannot finish this book. Where this could be a great story, the author lost me when she continuously used the incorrect lingo. If you are going to use a setting that is foreign to your own, you have to use words that are spoken in that country. In California, they have Real Estate agents, not estate agents... and fast food is "take out" not "take aways"
I can get around typos and true gramatical erros, this was just a stumbling block for me.
This book annoyed the hell out of me. I think it could have been a good story yet I got lost in the sickening fake character. I hated the characters I thought they were annoying and kept on and on. I think the romance was sweet just it was weird and I just could not fall in love with the book.
This was a short sweet story that I could relate to so much. The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence and happiness is sometimes never further than in your own back yard. I could go on and on but this review might end up longer than the book! Really heart touching summer read for you die heart romantics out there!
