Love Letters by Katie Fforde

2.0

I love a good fluffy romance as much as the next person but I was really disappointed by this one - especially since Katie Fforde is well-known and popular. On the plus side I liked the setting in the books/publishing world, and I find the main couple (Laura and Dermot) attractive and appealing. The story is quite long - Katie makes her couple go through many hoops before they reach their happy ending - but I was happy to keep turning pages to see what happens. However I saw absolutely no character / relationship development, the sense that their attraction was growing or developing. I mean, Love at First Sight is all very well, but we are supposed to believe that the Hero sees the pretty girl and Bam! that's it? Grumpy reclusive hero thereafter turns into some puppy eager to please the heroine's every whim? Oh Please! I don't usually have a problem suspending my disbelief in a good rollicking story, but Love Letters just tests my abilities too far.
