Publisher's Summary

2021 Audie Award Winner for Best Romance Audiobook

An Amazon Charts and Washington Post best seller

From New York Times best-selling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes an unexpected love story that started with a boy and girl and heats up when the man and woman reconnect.

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.

What the critics say

"Jacob Morgan and Andi Arndt share the narration of this highly charged romance.... Morgan and Arndt both emote as their characters exchange "dirty letters" and sexual taunts that grow steamier and more erotic, including descriptions of BDSM sex play." --AudioFile Magazine

"An anxious, agoraphobic heroine takes center stage in this optimistic contemporary from Keeland and Ward...Griffin and Luca’s letters are endearing and believably intimate.... Readers motivated to see this unlikely heroine succeed will forgive the more fantastical indulgences of this light, escapist romance." --Publishers Weekly

Couldn’t stop listening

I started this audiobook just after completing another, less satisfying one. Little did I know that I would be taken on such an emotional journey with 2 of my favourite narrators. So many aspects of this book touched me on a personal level and I really didn’t want it to end!

Fabulous story

I so enjoyed this latest novel by my favourite duo!
I laughed repeatedly and then cried a few times near the final chapter. What a great read!

Interesting story

I really enjoying their writing. I’ve read a few now. Includes some humour. Some spicy scenes. And this is an original love story.

Endearing characters and a well rounded story

As a fan of Vi & Penelope's novels, Dirty Letters did not disappoint. I loved the concept of two people as penpals as children being the premise of this story since I'd done the same when I was young.
When Griffin (narrator Jacob Morgan) and Luka's (narrator Andi Arndt) letters to each other suddenly stop, Griffin is upset and frustrated by the disconnect and always wondered why Luka stopped exchanging letters with him.
Many years pass and their adult lives take shape. Griffin in a drunken state decides to write Luka one more time to tell her how angry he was at losing his penpal. But there is a valid reason for why Luka stopped writing to Griffin. A traumatic event in her youth causes her to develop a severe panic disorder.
When Luka decides to reply to Griffin's recent letter they discover their young attraction to each other is still there. As their adoration grows through snail mail letters the story builds to show that his life and hers are so dramatically different that the likelihood of them being able to be together as a couple is improbable.
Luka's loveable therapist named Doc plays an integral part in how Griffin and Luka's relationship grows.
There are some truly touching moments and the story is well laid out. I found the middle of the book a bit slow, however, this is where the listener learns the true depth of Luka's condition and how willing Griffin is to understand her.
Dirty Letters is well worth the listen.

Dirty Letters - not too dirty

If you are looking for an into level smut book with a decent story line, this book is for you.

I would say that this book is more focused on the story line and the author added a little bit of “dirtiness” to it. Overall I really liked the book, I wish it was a little longer. The readers did an amazing job! Loved that they had two different voices. Also loved that you got both point of views from the two main characters. I wish it was a little dirtier at times.

Deep; unexpected; emotional but delightful

This book took me on an emotional journey. The letter, my goodness, swoony doesn’t quite describe them.
Such an enjoyable read. I see myself reading it again.
Totally recommend ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
