Three peculiar love stories. Three love letters and 1 more that will change everything.Sterling and Skye’s story:One of the things that stood out for me is how I can easily relate with Skye. She is a spoiled brat, rich girl (not so much about that part) but she’s the type who wants to take control of everything, with love, sex, business…everything. But she gave it up when she met Sterling. He’s smart, gorgeous, with an  oozing sex appeal, but he’s even more demanding and control freak. Everything went well in their relationship. Got married, always had a guilt free sexual adventures. Until Skye received the letter…Asher and Lilly’s story:This is the kind of perfect relationship everyone dreams about. Girl hoping to meet her man of her dreams one day and then he comes in the most unexpected moment. Believing that they’ve got everything all ironed out, fate sometimes has its own way of playing with our hearts and minds. Will they be able to overcome it? Only one letter has the perfect answer to it.Tanner and Adlee’s story:This is a fairytale like love story, where the princess is drowning from her serious broken life and then come her knight and shining armor to save her. Wishing to finally have her own happy ending, a letter came and that changed everything; losing her only ticket to happiness.Secrets. Lies. Pains. Truth.How will their lives intertwine? Will they be able to get the answers to all the questions that left them hanging?Lisa Harley is a clever author. This book has multi-layered stories but tightly written. I found the actual idea and strategy quite well interesting which what actually drew me in initially. In some ways it’s a complex read where the reader has to keep up with everything that’s happening. However, while romance was an important aspect, it was not the primary driver of the book. The love scenes were downplayed a bit, but this did not affect the chemistries between the characters. I just felt maybe I needed a little more details to be convinced.Overall it’s a catchy, well-paced read. if you’re looking for something with a little depth and complexity, then go hit that one-click button and purchase Four Letters.
