An Inconvenient Letter by Julie Wright, Book Review

Book Summary:

Complications arise when Marietta’s secret love letters are accidentally found by the wrong man.

1828, the London countryside

For years, Marietta Stone has harbored a secret infatuation for the handsome Frederick Finch and has poured out her deepest feelings in a series of passionate love letters that she keeps in a locked drawer. But when Marietta’s private letters are accidentally delivered to Frederick’s house, she must retrieve them immediately before they fall into the wrong hands. If the letters were read by anyone else, the resulting scandal could jeopardize her reputation. 

Gerard Hartwell has no time for infatuations, courtship, or even love. He must find a wife with a substantial inheritance if he wishes to save his late father’s bankrupt estate. When he accidentally discovers Marietta’s love letters at his cousin Frederick’s estate, he strikes a bargain with her. If she helps him court her older sister, Anne, he will return the letters and help Marietta win Frederick’s heart.

Marietta agrees, and the two quickly pretend to be courting in order to spend time with their individual love interests. Yet, what appeared to be a straightforward bargain becomes complicated when Gerard realizes that the more time he spends with Marietta, the more he wishes he could court her for real. But can he persuade Marietta to give him a chance when her heart might belong to another man?

My Review:

An Inconvenient Letter is a sweet and easy to read proper romance. I loved the premise of love letters sent that were never meant to be read. The relationship between the sisters Etta and Anne, was heartwarming and I loved how they loved each other. Gerard and Freddy were an interesting cousin duo, so different from each other. And the feud between the families made for an interesting dynamic. I really enjoyed all the moving parts and pieces of this story and it pulled me in  and kept me there until the end. Proper romance fans everywhere will enjoy An Inconvenient Letter! I received a complimentary copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Happy Reading!!!
