Alex’s dream has come true! She’s ridden her grades all the way to Princeton with an academic scholarship. Money is tight and the memories of her father’s death still bring tears to her eyes, but her new roommate, Ashley, is a breath of life to Alex’s soul—she’s wealthy, beautiful and fun! Alex misses Mark so much but the more Ashley drags her into the college experience—drinking, partying and guys—the less she thinks of him. It isn’t long before Alex is kissing academic probation!
On the road to reform, Alex meets Oscar, a brooding rebel whose dark curls and sexy grin tempt her into a world of explosive attraction that drives them crazy mad with love for each other. Alex learns Oscar’s moodiness is guilt over the death of his twin sister and it only tightens their bond. As depression overtakes Oscar, and he does the unthinkable, Alex is forced to choose between Oscar and her future. She doesn’t want to leave, but if she stays she’ll end up living Oscar’s nightmare and her own dreams will turn to dust. She can’t let her newfound joy in life slip through her fingers like sand in a slow leaking hourglass…
LETTERS OF LOVE follows Alex to college and the next stage of her poignant journey toward the truest love—loving herself enough to say yes to her own life! Read this riveting story and learn to say yes to you!

New Adult Romance author. Reading was my earliest passion, often seeking the sanctuary of my room or the library to read everything I could get my hands on.
I probably drink too much coffee and eat too much junk food, but to compensate do like running and rollerblading outdoors when the weather is nice. I'm a hopeful romantic who prefers stories with a happy ending. You can often find me in a library or coffee shop working on my next story, or with my nose in a book.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2016This is truly a gem of a series. So many nuggets of truth and hope laced into an unforgettable highly recommended story. Beautifully written.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2015Sad But very awesome its a great book to read it brings most people to tears but everyone should read it
- Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2016Amazing ending can't wait for book 3 I enjoyed the way your wrote true love to come back if you let it go it will come back I believe in true love .I have lived it and have felt that yearning for that first love has strange up and turns I believe in my heart we meet people to help us and meet people to shows we have problems to help us see thing different in time of need.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2014Letters in Love is the second book in the three book Lessons in Love series. This book follows Alexandra Heron as she leaves high school and goes through her four years as a student at Princeton University. We get to meet Alex’s roommate, Ashley, as well as Alex’s new boyfriend, Oscar.
For me, this book was much more enjoyable than the first book. In the first book, I have to admit, I got hung up on the fact that Alex was accepted to Princeton even though she had been a poor student for 3 ½ years of high school. It bothered me so badly; I couldn’t allow myself to buy into the story. With this second book, I didn’t have that issue since it had already occurred. I found this second book to be much more realistic. Alex is still struggling with the traumatic loss of her father. She isn’t over the top dramatic, but her grief was realistic to me. Oscar is dealing with loss of his own, and handling it poorly, yet in a believable way. I’ve never loss anyone close to me; so I can’t say with 100% certainty, but for me, I felt Ms. Carlyle did a really good job of writing characters dealing with loss.
I still do not click with Alex. I don’t understand her at all. She comes off as cold hearted to me. She lost her father, so I feel as if she would draw closer to her mother and brother, but she does the opposite. How can someone go through four years of college and never go home to visit? I’m sure it happens, but it seems off for someone who seems to love her family. I felt sad for Alex’s mother.
Ashley and Oscar made this book for me. Ashley seems so carefree and fun, but apparently in a better way than Alex. She attends all of the same parties and sorority functions as Alex, but is somehow able to maintain her GPA, unlike Alex. Perhaps Alex should have followed Ashley’s example and not taken all morning classes so she could arrive on time. As for Oscar, I loved him from the time he appeared outside of Ms. Dunne’s office. When they kissed for the first time, I immediately felt he was the one Alex should be with (over Mark from the last book). Toward the end, Oscar does fall off for me, but I’m hoping he pulls it all together and comes back in the next book better for it.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2015Very easy read. Keep me interested from the beginning
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2015The first sequel to Lessons of Love finds Alexandra Heron just beginning her four year stay at Princeton. Despite all the work that it took her to get into the prestigious college, she quickly finds herself getting caught up in college life, i.e., partying, drinking in excess, skipping classes and neglecting her studies. The only good thing that she seems to have going for her is the instant friendship that she forges with her roommate, Ashley, an extremely wealthy, generous and loyal friend who is, unfortunately, a party animal herself.
When Alex manages to land herself on academic probation, she is determined to turn things around. The last thing that she wants to do is to disappoint her family or the man that had worked so hard to help her get into Princeton, Mark, her former math teacher and lover. (That sounds naughty I know but their relationship was entirely consensual and very loving). In fact, Mark had chosen to let her go to follow her dreams and had promised to wait for her to return to him no matter how long that might take.
Alex’s newfound determination is short-lived though as in walks Oscar Deloitte, a totally brilliant, gorgeous and troubled young man that leads Alex astray from her studies and from Mark. She falls head-over-heels, getting completely caught up in the intense passion that springs up between them and again foregoes her studies in order to spend all of her time with him. This time, Alex is facing expulsion if she doesn’t turn things around. Her decision to refocus her efforts on her studies and to attend summer classes leads to a painful breakup with Oscar. Still, she does manage to turn things around academically despite her depression. When junior year commences, Alex is back on track academically and oddly enough, back with Oscar. Having missed her during the few months that they were apart, he decides to confess the reason for his moodiness and erratic behavior. Learning that Oscar is also grieving the loss of a loved one, and that he blames himself as does she, Alex is only too willing to give him another chance.
Will Alex be able to juggle an intense relationship and an increasingly intense academic program or will she fail? What will become of her former lover, Mark? Although Alex had decided to let him go, to focus on her future and on moving forward, leaving the past in the past, she’s never actually told Mark this. She’s simply stopped responding to his letters…
Letters of Love is well written and a pleasure to read. The love scenes are not graphically depicted so I believe that this series is suitable for young adults. I like the fact that Alex is an imperfect heroine. She makes mistakes and gets caught up in her emotions as so many of us do, especially when we’re young. This story is an honest portrayal of one young woman’s experiences as she leaves home for the first time, taking the first steps into adulthood, stumbling more than once along the way.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little dull
A good follow on however, I felt that the years whilst Alex was at college were rushed and more could of been done in two books or just longer chapters.
