Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger Review
Okay, I have to admit J.T. is a genius for writing this book. That plot twist threw me for a loop. I thought I had the mystery solved. I was even smug about it, only to find out I was dead wrong. Lol. Get it? Dead wrong! Gosh, if you haven’t read the story, you won’t find the joke. Please do read it, so you can share in my not-so-funny humor.
Anyways, Kayla a distraught widow---to a certain extent---had house issues. Yeah, she lived in one of those fixer-uppers. The grand kind. With a leaking roof in the rainy season---because for some reason rain was always falling, she thought the best solution was to get help. That was where Aiden came into the mix. A sexy all-rounder. Things escalated from there.
Oh, Aiden. Aden. Aiden. Though I’m not into men with facial hair, I would be the guy’s sex slave. Like a literal slave. Heck, he could tell me to call him master any time. Not only was this guy dominant but sweet. A real book boyfriend. I had to add him to my list because he earned his spot there. J.T. must have searched the heavens and earth to find a model that reflects the character because the book cover is everything imagined in the head. I loved it.
Even so, I disliked Kayla. I thought she was a judgmental jerk but kept reading because I wanted to know if my assumptions were true. Guess what? They weren’t! And that’s why Pen Pal gets a five star from me. The twist was so marvelous that it bumped up two more stars for me. Because going through the book, I wasn’t all that impressed. Three stars remained in my head. Then the twist happened, and I got excited, and the rest is history.
I am not a big fan of endearing pet names, so the minute I noticed one, it turned me off. Either way, it was original. I liked that. And more so because Aiden used it. The spice was great. I loved that Kayla wasn’t a helpless virgin and she had previous experiences but now realized she liked other things. Kinky things. I’m winking at this point.
So, yes, this book is worth the read. Did it have romance? Aiden was a sweetheart. The mystery was on point. Gosh, that plot twist. You’d love it. It kind of has a horror vibe but not too much to be extremely spooky. Anyone could read this. Don't just take my word for it. Go ahead, get a copy, and find out what the fuss is about.
