Cocktails and Books's Review of Dirty Letters

by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

An Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestseller.

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes an unexpected love story that started with a boy and girl and heats up when the man and woman reconnect.

I’d never forgotten him—a man I’d yet to meet.

Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break.

Until one day it did.

Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one—one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing.

Griffin forgave me, and somehow we were able to rekindle our childhood connection. Only now we were adults, and that connection had grown to a spark. Our letters quickly went from fun to flirty to downright dirty, revealing our wildest fantasies. So it only made sense that we would take our relationship to the next level and see each other in person.

Only Griff didn’t want to meet. He asked that I trust him and said it was for the best. But I wanted more—more Griff, in the flesh—so I took a big chance and went looking for him. People have done crazier things for love.

But what I found could change everything.

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.I really enjoyed Griffin and Luca. To have their relationship based on being pen pals as children was different. I liked how they became best friends despite the thousands of miles that separated them. And with that childhood friendship to build on, I enjoyed how both of them were able to fight their demons knowing they had support in their corner that was missing otherwise.

As with other books by this duo, Dirty Letters is the perfect mixture of angst, sexiness and humor. The quirkiness of the characters, the depth of their feelings and their issues always make reading one of their books the best part of my day.
