By Kelly Bridgewater
For three years, Penny Ercanbeck has been opening other
people's mail. Dead ends are a reality for clerks at the Dead Letter Office.
Still she dreams of something more--a bit of intrigue, a taste of romance, or
at least a touch less loneliness. When a letter from a brokenhearted man to his
one true love falls into her hands, Penny seizes this chance to do something
heroic. It becomes her mission to place this lost letter into the hands of its
intended recipient.
Thomas left his former life with no intention of ending up in Azure Springs, Iowa. He certainly didn't expect a happy ending after what he had done. All he wanted to do was run and never look back. In a moment of desperation, he began to write, never really expecting a reply.
When Penny's undertaking leads her to the intriguing man who touched her soul with his words, everything grows more complicated. She wants to find the rightful owner of the letter and yet she finds herself caring--perhaps too much--for the one who wrote it.

My Thoughts:
Yours Truly, Thomas
by Rachel Fordham is a delightful western tale of romance through letters and a
chance encounter. The writing is beautiful and Fordham does a wonderful job at
creating a tale of romance and learning to move on from past mistakes. The plot
moved seamlessly and captured my attention. It is a predictable romance with
the predictable happily-ever-after. Thomas is a hero who needs to learn from
his mistakes and comes out a better man on the other side. While I enjoyed
seeing who Thomas was and learning about his past, I would have liked to see
personally who he was before, so the transformation would have been a little
more fulfilling. As for Penny, she is a brave woman to travel to a place
unknown just because of a letter. I would like to have seen more of her past
too. It seems readers are thrown into the middle of the transformation story
while it is occurring without the beginning to show the transformation.
Overall, Yours Truly, Thomas by
Rachel Fordham is a captivating western romance. Fans of Karen Witemeyer, Jody Hedlund, and Regina Jennings would, I believe, enjoy this novel.
I received a complimentary copy of Yours Truly, Thomas by
Rachel Fordham from Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 stars

About the Author:
 |
| From Amazon |
Rachel Fordham has long been fascinated by all things
historical or in the words of her children "old stuff". Often the
historical trivia she discovers is woven into her children's bedtime tales.
Despite her love for good stories she didn't attempt writing a novel until her
husband challenged her to do so (and now she's so glad he did). Since that time
she's often been found typing or researching while her youngest child naps or
frantically writing plot twists while she waits in the school pick-up line. In addition
to her passion for storytelling she enjoys reading, being outdoors and seeing
new places. Rachel lives with her husband and children on an island in
Washington state.
