Review: The Lost Letter by Mimi Matthews

I’ve read two of Mimi Matthews’ historical non-fiction books and enjoyed them very much so I guessed her Victorian romance novel, The Lost Letter, would be just as good. And I was right!

England, 1860. An impoverished Victorian beauty is unexpectedly reunited with the now beastly earl who once broke her heart. Will they finally find their happily-ever-after? Or are some fairy-tale endings simply not meant to be?

Well-researched and romantic, Matthews weaves delicious details into a Beauty and the Beast type story. I would have preferred the story be a little bit longer to keep me waiting for their romantic reunion (spoiler, I guess? lol) a little longer and go a little deeper into their relationship, but it still filled my heart with ooey-gooey feelings all the same.

Matthews has a wonderful gift for vivid description and historical detail, bringing upper-class life the mid-19th century to the page.

A pleasure to read.

RATING: 4/5 stars

praise for jillianne

Jillianne has done a fabulous job creating a loveable and down-to-earth heroine in Molly Miranda and followed through with a really strong plotline packed full of twists and turns.
Holly at Bookaholic Confessions
Hamilton handles the story with a deft touch, balancing action, laugh-out-loud zingers and romance with zippy pacing and a character you can really root for.
