What to expect
Performed in duet by Tara Langella and Troy Duran.
A high-octane, tautly-written dark romance with an unforgettable twist that will leave readers gasping, Pen Pal is a story of undeniable love from superstar J. T. Geissinger.
Now with an original bonus chapter, this BookTok sensation is not to be missed!
It all began with just one line. . .
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.

The banter is sexy foreplay but when they come together it is utterly explosive. The author never fails to deliver a couple that you will love hard

This series just keeps getting better and better! I can always count on this author for a sexy and laugh-out-loud funny romance. She straddles these two extremes so very well

At first I thought it’ll be an underwhelming, somewhat disjointed writing focused on wild sexual encounters that don’t make sense for the character. BUT the foreshadowing set in and it became more interesting until the plot twist hit and left my jaw hanging and whisper-shouting *WHAT* as I was not expecting this type of storyline from such an average-looking start.
