Pen Pal Kindle Edition

The high-octane sexiness of Katee Robert meets the addicting thrills of Rachel Hawkins with a delicious twist in this dark romance from indie superstar J. T. Geissinger!

The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence:

I’ll wait forever if I have to.

It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know.

Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply?

You.

I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn’t. I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong.

We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then one day, the letters stopped. When I found out why, it was already too late.

Dante was at my doorstep.

And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.

Do yourself a favor and go in to this book blind, no spoilers, no reviews, NOTHING! All I knew of this book was the short blurb on Amazon Kindle. Having never read any books by J.T. Geissinger before I decided to give it a chance based on one booktok recommendation. And boy, was I happy I did. This book got me out of the dark romance reading rut I was in, in the most wonderful way. It's dark, twisted, spicy (4.5 out of 5 chili peppers), and threw me for a loop. Geissinger writing style was a breath of fresh air. She writes in a way that brings the characters to life and makes you feel all their emotions. I cried (I never cry over romance books), I laughed, and I gasped. Put this at the top of your TBR, now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn’t Put this book down…

I am not a review writer. Pen Pal made me want to say how enthralled I am with this book. I was completely drawn in from the first few chapters. The FMC is funny, sad, and lost (she is my hero). Aiden the MMC is hilarious in a quiet way. I hesitate to say much about the plot - I do not want to give the premise of book away. I want YOU to read it.

The author brought in difficult subjects and wrote these scenes perfectly. Perhaps I am gullible but I truly did not grasp the twist and turns right away. Took me a bit to catch on and I’m glad I did not. Pen Pal became more special to me. Towards the end I was heartbroken (literally crying) and happy for the final outcome.

This is my first JT Geissinger book. I look forward to reading the author’s other titles.

4.0 out of 5 stars WARNING...can cause triggers. And not the kind of HEA you are used to.
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024

I had read J.T. Geissinger once a few years back and thought she was a little underdeveloped and newer in her writing and I hadn't tried her again. This book was recommended and I was very pleased to see how she had matured as a writer and how well she writes! The reason I give a 4-star rating, though, may not be her fault. The formatting was awful. It was so very distracting, making the story hard to enjoy. There were paragraph breaks in the middle of sentences throughout the book which completely broke the flow of the thought. Then, the dialogue was often jumbled, making it hard to follow the line of conversation. I just have to believe this is not the writers' fault, but somehow it was not caught in editing or formatting? Or could it have just been my download? I hope someone reads this and corrects it.

As far as the story itself, I cannot judge the review of this book based on my personal reaction. Again, she writes very well and I felt the characters were well-developed, the angst was good and the twists and surprises were very good. My personal problem is I do not do creepy/this type of paranormal well at all. It triggers in unhappy ways. So, why didn't I just stop reading it? That's the four stars. She writes so well, you can't put it down! I am a very Pollyanna/mostly RomCom or HEA kind of gal. Too many yucky things in the world I just do not care to revisit. So, this book drew out things I do not like to think about, causing a deep dive and introspection for days!! So, on the writers' side of the coin, that's GOOD! That's how good she is!

I read some reviews that complained they only like HEA's as well and this is not an HEA. That is not correct. There is indeed an HEA. A wonderful, sweet, I-hope-it-happens-for-real HEA. That was the redeeming part of this emotional journey she dragged us through! It was wonderful.

And finally on another note(if anyone has gotten this far in my ramble) - make sure to read her Acknowledgment notes at the end of the book. I just about cried when she describes her very personal experience with her father. Because I experienced the same in triplicate with my MIL. We lived in a new normal for 35 days. 35 days that so rocked and completely changed my and my husband's world that I still cannot find words to describe this otherworldly experience we were so unexpectedly gifted. And the most amazing part was he and I and his mom were the only ones living in this new world. Visitors walked in completely oblivious. Just like the scenes in "Field of Dreams" when no one else could see the players on the field at first. So no, Ms. Geissinger, it was not some chemical imbalance or side effect. They are very real. And yes, cats can indeed see ghosts, too!

I'd had this book recommended to me so many times that I finally went for it, and I can say with 100% confidence that this is easily one of the best books I've read. It has definitely met and exceeded my expectations!!! Once I started, I couldn't put it down. I ended up reading straight through the night. Spice was on point, plot was 🤌. It is a perfect mind-blower that I wish I could read for the first time again and again. Between this and Perfect Strangers, J.T. Geissinger's become one of my favorite authors.

This book had me riveted from the first page. Every line, poetry. Unanswered questions in every chapter, and I could not put it down. As it grew closer to the end and I began to catch on, my brain screamed, ‘No no no! Don’t let it be …’ But it was. And I’m furious. Yet it was wonderful. So take my furious 5 stars.
