What I can say? Hmm, dari awal baca blurb udah tertarik banget kepengin baca karena hei, seseorang bisa jatuh cinta hanya karena baca surat cinta istri ke suaminya? Surat-surat itu bahkan bukan punya dia. Yah, well, eksekusinya nggak mengecewakan. Pada dasarnya Trevor menjadikan surat-surat cinta Kyla ke Richard itu sebagai guide mengenal Kyla Stroud.
Isinya kebanyakan ketertarikan seksual sih, ya, tapi fokusku ke interaksi Trevor sama Aaron. Hiks, lemah banget kalau cowok fiksi SB yang selalu digambarkan maskulin ini interaksi sama bocah, aduh :(
Bintangnya bisa gas pol, tapi agak kesel sama sifat mendramatisir Kyla. I know, dia merasa belum bisa lepas dari suaminya, cuma kebanyakan terbelenggu sama pemikirannya sendiri. Like, duh, Neng, Richard juga nggak akan gentayangin kalau kamu suka sama Trevor. Terus penyelesaian konflik menuju endingnya enggak banget menurutku, terlalu cepat. Yah, bukannya mengharap bakal banyak drama, sih, tapi aku sempat berpikir masalahnya bakal membesar setelah menerima kiriman dari Alabama, tapi ternyata boom! Kayaknya jeda antara masalah dan penyelesaian cuma di apartemen Babs itu aja wkwkw. Selain itu ya udah, clear. Aku butuh sekuel :(

This was the first book I’ve read from Sandra Brown. From the goodreads reviews I got the sense this would be a good romance. Oh boy, was I wrong!
Let’s start with the cover. It is written there that this is a “Classic love story”. This book is not a classic! Maybe I can consider it a classic Harlequin Romance.
The love letters promoted in the intro were corny, drowsy and lacking. The love story was really creepy. I had hard time imagining a romance with a man who became obsessed with a woman he doesn't know, repeatedly watched her from a distance, then lied to her about knowing who she was when circumstance causes them to meet, and finally asked her to marry him. This is the definition of a stalker. No high class romance here. But the worst is: who falls in love and marries a man that is secretly obsessed with her? Are you an idiot? This is the guy who’s going to beat you up, control you and rape you during the next years. And, than in a rage kill you. This was just sooo creepy and wrong!
I had to force myself to continue reading the novel. What’s wrong with you, Sandra Brown?

Taking some time during COVID-19 "safer at home" to reread some old saved books from years ago before I decide if they're leaving the house.
