ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 5, 2019.

I’d never forgotten him—a man I’d yet to meet.

Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break.

Until one day it did.

Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one—one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing.

Griffin forgave me, and somehow we were able to rekindle our childhood connection. Only now we were adults, and that connection had grown to a spark. Our letters quickly went from fun to flirty to downright dirty, revealing our wildest fantasies. So it only made sense that we would take our relationship to the next level and see each other in person.

Only Griff didn’t want to meet. He asked that I trust him and said it was for the best. But I wanted more—more Griff, in the flesh—so I took a big chance and went looking for him. People have done crazier things for love.

But what I found could change everything.

REVIEW:DIRTY LETTERS by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward is a contemporary, adult stand alone, erotic romance story line focusing on twenty five year old author Luca Ryan Vinetti and rockstar Griffin Quinn aka Cole Archer.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Luca and Griffin) DIRTY LETTERS follows the relationship between twenty five year old author Luca Ryan Vinetti and rockstar Cole Archer aka Griffin Quinn. Luca and Griffin have been pen pals since second grade, and embarked on a long-distance friendship ever since but eight years ago Luca’s life imploded and she all but disappeared from family and friends. Fast forward to present day wherein Luca’s father has died, and while cleaning up his apartment, she finds a letter from Griffin Quinn, a letter that forces Luca to re-engage with the past. Enter Griffin Quinn aka Cole Archer, and the man with who Luca will fall in love. What ensues is the long distance relationship and romance between Luca and Griffin, and the potential fall-out as Luca continues to struggle with the past.

Following the devastating loss of a friend, Luca Ryan battles a debilitating emotional disorder that prevents our heroine from living her life to the fullest but discovering there was still a connection between herself and Griffin, Luca along with her friend and confident Chester Maxwell, embarks on a cross country journey in an effort to officially introduce herself to the man that she loves. Griffin Quinn is a man on a mission when it comes to the girl he is unable to forget. As the British rockstar and musician known as Cole Archer, Griffins leads a lifestyle that would further aggravate our story line heroine but Griffin is desperate to pull Luca into his life, a life that will send Luca spiralling out of control.

The relationship between Luca and Griffin spans twenty years in the making. From seven year old pen pals to lovers, Luca and Griffin have secrets that have yet to be revealed, secrets that may affect the future, going forward. Griffin accepts that Luca struggles with a paralyzing and emotional disorder but our hero never expected to be pushed out of her life. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are limited as the story line focuses on our leading couple. We are introduced to Dr. Chester Maxwell, Luca’s friend, confident and counsellor, a man who takes Luca under his wing, allowing her to test her love for a man she barely knows.

DIRTY LETTERS is a story of guilt and grief; tragedy, acceptance and love; a story of loss and heart break. The premise is emotional and captivating; the characters are colorful, dynamic, broken but healing; the romance is seductive and hot. Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward pull the reader into an impassioned, thought-provoking and tender love story between two people pulled apart by grief and despair.
