INITIAL THOUGHTSo after reading so many books of similar genre I fancied reading something different, and I found this. Approaching the book I wondered if may remind me of Dash & Lily's Book Of Dares . . .find out if it did in my Review.MY REVIEWAs I said in "INITIAL THOUGHTS" I fancied reading something different, and I found this. novella on Netgalley, requested it and was accepted for it.The cover has the image of a happy couple kissing each other, perhaps representing some of the couples Reese saw whilst delivering her special love letters.Would the cover make me want to know more about the book? The cover along with the title would certainly pique my interest.So the main character in this novella is Reese, she finds once again alone on Valentines Day but still wants to cheer up others liker her. So she writes little "love notes" that should cheer up the coldest hardest hearts.This novella is about her leaving these "love notes" around where she works, and a man named Ian picks one up. Ian see's Reese leave the not on a coffee shop table. . . Upon reading the note Ian decides to do a reply to it. He tracks or "stalks" Reese so he can give her the note. Suddenly neither Ian or Reese are alone for Valentines Day. Will what they have discovered in each other last?I don't want to say more about the novella as it would totally give away every surprise and twist away. I enjoyed the style of writing, it really makes you feel warm and mushy! As a divorced person you could say my heart is kind of cold and somewhat hardened but this novella certainly melted it a little and made me smile.I mentioned in my Initial Thoughts that the blurb had made me think about Dash & Lily's Book Of Dares, and yes the sentiment of this novella is similar, plus it is also set around a holiday time and brings together lonely people.So did I enjoy the novella? Yes,it is a pleasant, short read that leaves you feeling cozy and warm! Would I recommend the novella? I would, it's short and sweet. Would I want to read more about the characters of this novella? If a book was written with Reese and Ian in I would definitely read the blurb and want to find out what happens after "Dear Stranger" Would I read other books by this Author? Yes, as I really enjoyed the writing style and imagery of the novella.
