The Love Letter by Rachel Hauck
2.0
I loved the premise of this story. Loved the parallels between modern day, and the 18th century. The story of Esther and Hamilton was very good, if a bit melodramatic. But wartime romances tend to be like that so I didn't mind.
I didn't love the story between Jesse and Chloe. It seemed from the summary that this story would focus more on Jesse, but I thought Chloe was definitely the one that it followed more closely. Some parts of their characters seemed odd and not thought through all the way, including their central conflict with themselves. I could have done without as much of their story, to be honest.
I did like the ending though. It was nice to finally see a romance through, and see that everything worked out for them in the end. The fact that the parallel comes together gives nice closure.
