There are so many things to love about this story. I’m a historical reader by heart, but I was so captivated by our modern day hero and heroine telling the story of our Revolutionary War couple. Both sides were beautifully written and equally compelling. The whole idea of this love letter binding the generations together… it was loveliness through and through.

The chemistry sparked strong between both sets of couples. The romance melted my heart on more than one occasion. Everything felt very real. There were so many poignant lines and phrases and scenes.

The making of the movie, the tension of war, every chapter overflowed with great storytelling and held my attention to the very last page. The plot expanded and matured in unexpected ways and even reminded me some of Kristy Cambron’s The Lost Castle.

If you’re a fan of split timeline stories, you won’t want to miss this powerful book. This author is a master at her craft. The Love Letter was everything I was hoping for and more!

I received a copy from the publisher. No review, positive or otherwise, was required—all opinions are my own.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Dress comes a story of long-lost love and its redemption in future generations.

Romance has never been actress Chloe Daschle’s forte—in life or on screen. But everyone knows who to call for a convincing death scene . . . and it might be killing her career.

When Chloe is given a peek at the script for an epic love story, she decides to take her destiny into her own hands and request an audition for the lead female role, Esther Kingsley. The compelling tale, inspired by family lore and a one-page letter from the colonial ancestor of scriptwriter Jesse Gates, just might break her out of this career-crippling rut. Jesse would rather write about romance than live through it after his past relationship ended in disaster. But once on-set together, the chemistry between Jesse and his leading lady is hard to deny.

Centuries earlier, in the heart of the Revolutionary War, Hamilton Lightfoot and Esther Longfellow wrote their saga off the silver screen. Esther’s Loyalist father opposes any relationship with Hamilton, but Esther must face her beloved father’s disapproval and the dangers of war in order to convince Hamilton of their future together. Hamilton has loved Esther for years, and on the eve of battle pens the love letter she’s always wanted—something straight from the heart.

Set in stunning upcountry South Carolina, The Love Letter is a beautifully-crafted story of the courage it takes to face down fear and chase after love, even in the darkest of times. And just maybe, all these generations later, love can come home in a way not even Hollywood could imagine.
