An Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestseller.

From New York Times bestselling 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“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

“Dirty Letters will have you laugh, cry, and root for this couple as you follow their tragedies and triumphs.” ―Fresh Fiction

“This story is filled with pain, anxiety (that is so real you can feel it), hurt, a connection that spanned over the years and miles, and a love to last forever.” ―Wicked Reads

“It was frustrating and sweet and beautifully romantic to see the lengths someone will go through to be with the person that their heart tells them they need, and someone who is willing to face their greatest fears in order to be with you.” ―Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

I’m so sad this book is over. I read as slow as I could but I wish I could re read for the first time all over again.“We all have light and dark inside us, love. We try to hide the darkness from others because we’re afraid it will scare them away. But your dark doesn’t scare me, Luca. It only makes me want to hold your hand and be your light until you can find your own again. That’s what people do when they’re in love. I won’t always be able to give you your light back, because sometimes you need to find that within yourself , but I’ll stand by your side and hold your hand in the dark so things aren’t so scary.”I absolutely loved Griffin in this book. Luca suffers from crippling anxiety due to a past traumatic experience and can’t be in small places and large crowds. I loved how this book touched on anxiety issues especially since I suffer from anxiety as well. Griffin was so supportive and understanding and I loved the love he had for Luca.My heart broke for Luca as I read this story because she has been through so much in her short life. I admired her strength and courage in this story. I also loved how when Griffin came on to the scene that Luca was magically all better. Her journey and transformation was authentic and real which I appreciated.I have read many books written by Ward and Keeland and their stories just keep getting better and better. Name a better writing duo? I’ll wait! But on a serious note this story was flawlessly written as always. I love that you can’t tell who wrote which scenes. I have also read their solo books and to this day I can’t figure it out. This story features characters you can’t help but love, cheer, cry and root for while reading.

Great story. The leads are truly in love but the female lead has many issues following a traumatic event as a teen.

With courage, help from Doc and the strong love of a very good man she works her way through her anxieties. The author gives a good peek into the life of someone with panic attacks and agoraphobia.

The story is very well written and the characters are awesome.

I really enjoyed this story! I’m a huge fan of pen pal books and they are so hard to come by. I was soooo excited to have across this one. From page one I was all in. Luca and Griffin were adorable. I really enjoyed their letters and friendship even after reconnecting after so many years. Life changed drastically for the both of them and even still they were able to write like no time had passed.

No longer the teenie boppers that they used to be, their letters turned very adult and quite interesting. Vibrating Furby keychain interesting. Not gonna lie, that was a bit cringe 🤣 Their chemistry was felt through the pages of letters that they exchanged and it’s only expected that they each wanted more than just letters. Luca was our mental health rep and she was not prepare to find out that Griffin’s world was her absolute worst nightmare. This story was well written and kept me engaged the whole time.

My only complaint was Luca. Mental health is real and I can’t judge anyone for how they handle their trauma, but it became exhausting after a while. Griffin did literally everything he possible could but Luca was just paralyzed by her fears. I get it. I do. But it’s frustrating to read about in a romance book 🤣 It just came off as her not caring enough to step outside of her comfort zone. She was too complacent for my liking. The last quarter of the book was all about her and her fears. Which I struggled with a bit.

Other than that, this book was really good. It definitely gave me my pen pal trip fix.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 STARS! A hard-fought, romantic & emotional second-chance romance!
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019

I love the collaborative works of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. Both authors are absolutely fantastic individually, but their co-written books are outstanding—contemporary romance magic. Undoubtedly born from their years of partnership and friendship, their writing styles blend in a very natural, effortlessly feeling way for the reader, and as a result, their words come together impeccably into the addictive, unputdownable stories that they’re known for penning. This writing duo is exceptional, and I simply can’t get enough of their imaginative storytelling.

Dirty Letters is my (new) favorite from Keeland/Ward. A slow-burn, second-chance romance between two seemingly different people who ultimately want the same thing, Luca and Griffin’s heart-tugging romance pulled me in from page one. This story hit me right in the feels, there were so many emotions pummeling me at every turn. The longing for not only each other, but also for their individual circumstances to be different and to find a way to just make it all work out. This relationship was teeming with love and a fair amount of blind faith. Sometimes, though, love and blind faith might not be enough. Despite their soul-deep connection and the sizzling chemistry flowing between them, this was definitely a square peg-round hole scenario. It was heart-breaking and devastating at times, and I felt their desperation as I wept big, fat tears right along with them. But it’s in those deepest, darkest times when someone has a moment of clarity—an epiphany—where everything just snaps into place, and suddenly, it all becomes unmistakably clear. That is the moment when the will finds the way.

This story was just so rich—both in emotion and love, but also technically in the details, development and plotting. Told from dual points of view, the couple rekindles a youthful friendship and budding teen romance through the same means as they began it—handwritten letters. I adored this element of the story because it gave the hero and heroine both the freedom and the opportunity to be honest, vulnerable and frank with each other in an unusual and rare way. The quirky supporting characters rounded everything out, bringing depth and added detail, and elevating this story from a really great one to something truly special. I loved the entire journey, every single mile of tough terrain and smooth sailing. Griffin and Luca’s love story, with all its many ups and downs and highs and lows, was gorgeous, breathtaking and memorable.

Dirty Letters from Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward is a must-read, not-to-be-missed love story about forgiveness, acceptance and love against all odds. They say what comes easy won’t last long, and what lasts long won’t come easy, and Luca and Griffin’s grandly romantic, hard-fought love story is a perfect example of that. Their story captured my attention and swept me right off my feet as my hopeful heart ached and raced for this couple to get their happily ever after. A top favorite read of 2019, Dirty Letters by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward gets five smooches from me!

From the book title I thought this would be a lighter read, but it turned out to be pretty emotional. Great story idea though, and really great lead characters. Griffin is very swoon-worthy. I pretty much had to binge read it, I just couldn’t put it down. And I went through a lot of tissues…

Best romance in a long time. Unusual the plot, and so well conceived all the story long. Both characters are special persons, exactly how we dream they should be in a love story. And all those travels throughout USA states, and Doc bird watching, another beautiful person we dream to have in our real leaves.
