Little Lost Love Letter
Lucy never meant for her boss to read the letter confessing her feelings. Too bad she lost it in his office.
The day started out like every other—with me crushed under the weight of my wicked-hot boss’s expectations and inevitable disappointment.
And then something bad happened.
It’s worse than the time I spilled scalding hot coffee in Mr. Devlin’s lap. It’s even worse than the morning I accidentally saved a playlist of pop workout songs over a building schematic right before a big meeting.
I lost a love letter somewhere in the office.
The thing is, it’s not even an actual love letter. Let’s call it a therapeutic form of hate mail that went down a twisted bunny trail and ended up sounding like a love letter.
It was addressed to my boss.
And I think he might have found it…
Originally published in Love in the City, a USA Today bestselling romantic comedy collection, this 30,000 word enemies-to-lovers boss romance is a quick read that's sure to make you smile.

Una historia de Jefe/Secretaria que AMAMOS.
Es medio enemies to lovers, es divertida y se lee en un suspiro.
Me encantó la protagonista que es un desastre andante sobre todo con su jefe que provoca escenas incómodas pero graciosas y él es todo perfección, seriedad polos opuestos pero que se complementaban muy bien.
Mi único pero es ¿Dónde están mis escenas spicy? Cero fueguito amigos, yo le hubiera agregado una escena y todo hubiera sido perfecto.
Aun así es una lectura muy amena y ligera.

Little Lost Love Letter fue un romance adorable. Novelas cortas como esta demuestran que no hace falta crear una historia rebuscada o con paginas de mas para conseguir emocionarte, y aunque me hubiese encantado de haber sido un poco mas larga, me gusto mucho tal y como es.
La lectura no me resulto nada forzada, incluso la relacion entre los protagonistas es muy natural y coherente, ademas, pese a no tener un numero de hojas elevado, la trama se desenvuelve de maravilla, no hace falta nada mas.
En fin, un libro breve que te deja con muy buen sabor de boca y con una sonrisa en la cara, justo mi tipo de libro!
3 Estrellas!

One word: Swoony!
This book had all the feels. I thought it was delightful. The characters were so likable, I loved their meet-cute! I loved the tension. I loved that the focus was on our H/h and the romance was front and center the whole time. This was a very enjoyable read. I keep checking for when it'll be available in paperback because I need it in my permanent collection! Highly recommend!

Esto fue una lectura muy agradable y ligera.
Me encantan de los romances de oficina y más cuando el protagonista es un grumpy boss como Ryland.
Ame a Lucy era muy divertida.
Pero en serio necesitaba mas páginas. Estuvo muy corto.

Little Lost Love Letter de Shari L. Tapscott
Argumento:
Lucy nunca quiso que su jefe leyera la carta en la que confesaba sus
sentimientos. Lástima que la perdiera en su oficina.
El día empezó como todos los demás: conmigo aplastada bajo el peso de las expectativas de mi malvado jefe y la inevitable decepción.
Y entonces ocurrió algo malo.
Es peor que la vez que derramé café caliente en el regazo del Sr. Devlin. Es incluso peor que la mañana en la que guardé accidentalmente una lista de reproducción de canciones de entrenamiento pop sobre un esquema del edificio justo antes de una gran reunión.
Perdí una carta de amor en algún lugar de la oficina.
La cosa es que ni siquiera es una carta de amor real. Llamémosla una forma terapéutica de correo de odio que se fue por un camino de conejo retorcido y terminó sonando como una carta de amor.
Estaba dirigida a mi jefe.
Y creo que podría haberla encontrado...
Mí humilde opinión:
Me gustó la historia de Lucy y Ryland!
Estos dos no podían ser más opuestos; Ella era un desastre andante y esa peculiaridad la hacía un personaje divertido y adorable. Él era el jefe exigente y arrogante, sus críticas me daban ganas de darle una patada pero luego de descubrir la nota de odio de Lucy, me gustó cómo cambió con ella. Por supuesto la nota que luego escribió él me enamoró.
La química de los protagonistas estaba ahí, había quemadura lenta y sus peleas eran divertidas pero sentí que al final apenas se estaban conociendo más allá de jefe/empleada, como si lo bueno estaba comenzando y de pronto terminó el libro. A pesar de eso, fue entretenido, un romance corto de oficina divertido, dulce y ligero.

Una historia corta, con un poco de Enemies to lovers y aparte con otro trope de jefe-secretaria AMOOOOO

Esta bonita, no soy fan de Lucy por desastrosa pero me gusta que Ryland se enamore de eso.

Me encantó!!
Es lo más romántico y dulce que he leído últimamente.
Mi único pero....fue muy cortito.

Lo acepto, soy adicta a las historias románticas de oficina; son la razón por la cual sigo amando la lectura.
Lucy ha escrito una carta terapéutica dirigida hacia su jefe, con el fin de desahogarse. En ella expone lo egoísta, grosero y rígido que es el señor Devlin. Sin embargo, al leerla, se da cuenta de que suena más a una carta de amor.
Jamás espero que, por equivocación, dicha carta llegara a su destinatario. Ahora tendrá que tener la suficiente valentía para enfrentarse a la situación y rezar para que ese ser huraño no la despida.
Little Lost Love Letter es una historia que no necesitó de mucho para lograr llamar mi atención. Se trata de un libro dulce, con una relación sana y protagonista divertidos.
En primera, conocemos a Lucy, una chica desordenada, alocada y parlanchina. Después pasamos al lado opuesto, donde se encuentra Ryan Devlin, con su seriedad e indiferencia por todo y todos. Me encantó la forma en la que estos dos se complementaban, es que en serio, fue muy lindo leer su historia. Son muy tiernos, más aún Ryan que no aceptaba estar enamorado de Lucy.
¿Saben qué fue lo mejor? Que él se enamoró de los defectos de ella. ¡Ah! Que hombre más lindo.
Lo único que me faltó entre ellos fue una escena más subida de tono, aquí solo hay besos. Siento que apenas se estaban conociendo, cuando de repente la historia se corta. Vamos, es que necesitaba más momentos entre ellos. El libro daba para más, pero que se le va hacer. -Llora-.

Con sus curvas suaves, su sonrisa brillante y un arsenal de comentarios con púas envueltas en seda, ella es exactamente mi tipo. La quiero en mis brazos, no contestando mi teléfono.

Oh how I loved this book! From the moment I picked it up, I could not put it down! I read way past my bedtime and wanted to call in late for work just so I could finish it. Don't worry... I was responsible and went to work. But you better believe I grabbed my kindle the moment I discovered it was lunch time. I could not get enough of Lucy and Ryder! These two had my busting out laughing and letting out little dreamy sighs. This is definitely a MUST READ!
My only complaint would be the ending. Ugh! I hate when books just end. I love books with a HEA and have always had issues with HFN. It just doesn't feel complete to me.

5 Flawless Stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a little slice of heaven. I loved the plot of this story. The meet-cute, attraction, banter...everything was just perfect. I could not stop laughing. This book just tickled my funny bone. Whether it was an outright snarky comment or a super cute, swoon worthy moment, I was on cloud 9. It was so entertaining seeing how paranoid Lucy became when she realized she lost her hate/love note and I absolutely enjoyed how Ryland subtly teased her about it (without revealing that he had it) which made her even more paranoid 🤣🤣 This is one of the best short stories I have ever read. I loved everything about it. Light, quirky, fun story that’s easy to get into. Falling in love with this one is inevitable.

Office Romance
Ok, as office romances go.. this was hilarious! 🤣 If you're looking for a short read to boost your mood this'll do the trick. 😉😘
Clean Rating 5/5
There was a lot of thinking aboutkissing and there might have been a somewhat heated kiss? I've been binge-reading lately so there all starting to blend together *whoopsies*

Oh my word this was a PERFECT novella!! Of course, I wish it had been longer because it was so amazing, but it didn’t feel lacking at all! (Which is rare to me for a novella where it begins with their meeting...and what a meet cute this was 😍) I’m so glad my friend told me she was reading this because I’d totally forgotten that I hadn’t read it yet! And it was the perfect pick me up after a meh book. I adored Lucy and Ryland’s story! 💗
September 22, 2021
bueno, ¿qué puedo decir de esta maravillosa historia?
Nada más que realmente fue muy bueno, me hizo reír a las once de la noche y que fue muy entretenido.
Lo único que lamento es que no tenga ninguna escena +18 y que sea tan corto.

Oh my goodness. I loved this story! From the very beginning to the very end I was completely invested in Lucy and Ryland. The interactions and banter between them was so much fun!! Talk about chemistry and sparks!! Lucy and her (so, so many) mishaps, the poor girl. It made her ever so endearing. This story was over too fast. I wanted to linger with Lucy and Ryland. This book was light, fun, romantic and it just made me happy. * 5 stars *

Super cute chick lit. I read this in the earlier anthology and loved it. Lucy is taking over a temporary secretarial position for her aunt who is going away on maternity leave. But her first day of work is a disaster—her shoes don’t match, she doesn’t have money for coffee and the man behind her has to pay to move along the line (and he ends up being her new boss!), and she spills coffee all down her blouse. And she is very late. Ryland, her new boss, thinks his new secretary is a hot mess and a disaster waiting to happen. For the next few months, tension is thick between them…until Lucy happens to write a note venting all her anger for him…and her love…and loses the dang note. Read it. This one’s a funny one. The characters are fun. The romantic tension is awesome. And the story is cute, like all this author’s have been so far. Highly recommend.

this sounded cute so i picked it up for a quick read but ended up loving it so much. lucy and ryland were just adorable, this is one of the best short stories i've read.
here's what you can expect:
☕ office romance (boss x secretary)
☕ chaotic, clumsy girl x stern, broody boss
☕ adorable meet-cute
☕ great banter, no unnecessary drama
☕ they believe that they are hated by the other when in reality, they're attracted to each other...

(4.5 stars) - the boss she loves to hate & hates to love
This was originally in the multi-author collection, Love in the City, and was my favorite of the group. Shari is one of the best authors at writing spicy clean romance & you may need a fan for this one, lol.
Lucy has a meet-not-so-cute with a man who turns out to be her new boss. Ryland is picky and difficult - and hot. He judges her by her "oops" moments while overlooking how well she does her job.
I could so relate to Lucy - I was considered one of the most effective workers in my district, but my coworkers also used to joke that if something clumsy happened or there was an accident to be had, they would look for me there. Thankfully, my supervisor was interested in my results rather than my "oops" moments.
But I had no difficulty appreciating Lucy's angry frustration working with such a judgmental perfectionist when she knows she's good at her job - usually. The two of them have some really entertaining passive-aggressive exchanges that lead to the really fun part when she vents her feelings in a hate letter, & he inadvertently finds out how she really feels.
The story is funny yet also believable enough to roll with it. And while Ryland is overly quick to criticize, you can see his point of view to a fair extent, too. Still, what saves him is his willingness to admit his own faults - and that he's reeeally good at apologizing 💕🥰💕
*Romance level: passionate kisses, nothing graphic

This was SO CUTE!!!
I absolutely fell in love with this sweet little novella. I only meant to read the first chapter but then I couldn’t stop reading! Shari L, Tapscott just delivers flawless romantic
comedy every time! I can’t wait to read the rest of her books!
I loved the main characters. Lucy was such an adorable mess and Ryland was a swoony male lead!
For some reason I have found I’m a sucker for the “falling for the boss” trope... and this delivered so well!
My only complaint is I honestly wanted this to be a full length book! I didn’t want to stop reading about these characters and would have happily read 100+ more pages!
I highly recommend picking this up as a quick and easy read for a night in! 💗

As soon as I finished reading this one I turned around and read it a second time. I cannot get enough of Ryland (Mr. Devlin) and Lucy (Miss Lennox)!
Ryland is uptight and loves his life in perfect order. Lucy is a lovable hot mess that comes into his life and takes him by surprise! While he's attracted to her, he knows that there is no way she would be interested in him. Until she writes a therapy letter all about him. And he finds it. Let the fun begin!
