Love Letters [Rose Harbor Series Book #3] by Debbie Macomber
Read March 2024
Love Letters is very well written, heartfelt, and all about love and forgiveness. It makes your heart feel like it will BURST! An amazing addition to the Rose Harbor Series, for sure.
Positive messages: 5/5
Some positive messages include always forgiving, being honest, and listening to others. Understanding, love, and family are all evident. Even though many characters make poor decisions, they learn to forgive and put the past behind them. Broken marriages are fixed, families restored, and friends are reunited.
Positive role models: 4/5

Language: 0/5
None present.
Violence and Gore: 0/5
None present. However, a table does fall on someone’s leg and they are hurt.
Sex, Romance, and Nudity: 4/5
It implies that characters had sex when dating; says Scott dropped out of school and they eloped. Talks about how their marriage ended because Scott was having an affair with another woman, which he tried to cover up. Characters kiss. Maggie explains that she found sexually explicit emails sent by Roy, one saying that she is a ‘cold fish’ in bed. Virginia asks Ellie if her boyfriend tried to get her in bed but Ellie says no and that he is not like that. Maggie talks about when Roy was young and went to a frat party which was more of a strip club. Roy and Maggie talk about how Roy got very drunk and was in bed with another woman. Characters blow each other kisses and talk about love.
What Parents Should Know:
This is a mature but well written romance. There are no sexual scenes, but it is implied that some characters have had sex in the past. Lots of kissing and talking about love. However, it is very heartfelt and has many positive messages. It is engaging and interesting, but not educational (it is not historical fiction or nonfiction, so what is to be expected of a romance!). Loved this! Perfect for mature teens, young adults, and adults who are looking for a closed-door, sweet romance. Debbie Macomber is an amazing author who has written over 200 books! I would recommend any of them.
Age Range Recommendation: 14+ YA/A
Reading Level (by grade): 9th-12th
