Jane Martin is
intelligent but extremely shy, especially around men. When the Aid and
Cultural Society proposes a letter-writing program, Jane signs up,
hoping she can find a friend across the miles. But the program doesn’t
run as smoothly as expected.
Unbeknownst to her, Thomas Allred from town becomes her writing friend. Thomas has always known quiet Jane—or thought he did—but reading her letters addressed to his secret persona opens his eyes to what an amazing woman she is. Meanwhile, Jane has no idea that the romantic letters she receives are penned by Thomas—or that he’s falling in love with her in person.

My Review: 5 Stars
This novella was included in the Timeless Romance Anthology: Love Letter Collection. I loved it then and I love it now!
One thing that I really loved about this story is the fact that sometimes the person for you is right under your nose. My husband and I grew up in the same small town and never really knew each other until we were grown up. Thomas and Jane went to school together and grew up together, but never really knew each other. Not until Emma, president of the Aide and Cultural Society, puts together a pen pal exchange with her aunt in Canada. With no one to match up with Jane, Thomas writes to her, pretending to be a pen pal, and isn't it amazing what thoughts and feelings can be shared through the written word?
Thomas
is a real man. Jane isn't the most outgoing and beautiful girl in their
society, yet he cares more about her feelings and making her happy,
than all of that. This story proves that it's not always the instant
attraction to someone that makes a relationship work. Sometimes, a lot
of times, a person becomes more attractive the more you get to know
her/him. I loved the way Jane opened up and blossomed through these
exchanges and the way Thomas told her who he really was.
This is a perfect read for those who are romantics at heart!
Content: clean, mild romance
