For three years, Penny Ercanbeck has been opening other people's mail.
Dead ends are a reality for clerks at the dead letter office, and she dreams of something more--a bit of intrigue, perhaps a taste of romance. When she comes across a letter from a brokenhearted man to his one true love, it becomes her mission to place this lost letter into the hands of its intended recipient.
But when Penny's undertaking leads her to the intriguing man who touched her soul with his words, everything grows more complicated. She wants to find the rightful owner of the letter, and yet...she finds herself caring--perhaps too much--for the one who wrote it.
My Thoughts
I love new authors and when Yours Truly, Thomas was offered as a book to read and review I jumped at he chance. This is Ms. Fordham's second book in her Azure Springs series, the first being The Hope of Azure Springs. I found from the very first words that Ms. Fordham would be a new favorite author for me.
The story begins in 1883 in the dead letter office in Washington DC. The lead character, Penny Ercanbeck will endear herself to the reader within the first few moments of meeting her. As for the male lead, Thomas Conner, he also endeared himself to me. It was apparent he had a wounded heart that was in need of forgiveness and love. I loved both characters equally and would love to see a sequel with more of their story.
If you enjoy historical romance with a little bit of suspense mixed in, Yours Truly, Thomas is a book I feel you will truly enjoy.
On a 5-Star scale - 5 HUGE Stars!!!!!
Smiles & Blessings,
