Letters to a Secret Lover
by Toni Blake
The highly fashionable syndicated advice columnist Lindsey Brooks needs to escape Chicago after her very public and
very humiliating breakup with her fiancé, so she flees to her great aunt’s former home in the small town of Moose
Falls, Montana. Rugged carpenter Rob Colter needs to escape from a troubled past and settles in the most remote
location he can find, completely ignorant of the fact that a certain pampered city girl will soon be headed his
way. Readers also will enjoy escaping to Moose Falls, where romance, lust, deception, forgiveness, and adventure
swirl around these unlikely lovers.
Whereas Lindsey lives her life like an open book, sharing her most intimate moments in her blog for all to see,
Rob hides some serious secrets and therefore maintains his privacy by intentionally living a solitary life.
Letters to a Secret Lover explores what happens when these two opposites attract: The talkative big-city
girly girl and the quiet small-town manly man.
Author Toni Blake, however, creates three-dimensional characters that go beyond these stereotypical descriptions.
These characters have significant problems, suffer injustices, resist change, make mistakes, and submit to their
passions just like the real characters that inhabit our everyday lives. Lindsey and Rob may be idealized versions
of our neighbors and friends, but their relationship feels real.
Letters to a Secret Lover fully develops the central characters and tells a carefully crafted story in a fun and
frisky style that will keep you turning pages. The book doesn’t shy away from any details - emotions, actions, and
sensations are fully explored in this highly engaging novel for daring readers of contemporary romance. |
