Book Review: Love Online by Penelope Ward

Shelly's Book Corner received a review copy from Author and voluntarily provided an honest review. This does not affect the opinion of the book or the content of the review.

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

We met in the least likely of places. It started out innocently enough. I was “ScreenGod” and she was “Montana,” but of course, those weren’t our actual names, just the virtual cloaks we hid behind.

Logging in at night and talking to her was my escape—my sanctuary.

Her real name was Eden, I’d soon come to find out.

From the first time we connected online, I found myself transfixed.

She was an addiction.

At first, we knew nothing about each other’s real identities…and she was adamant that we keep things that way. Anonymity had no effect on our unstoppable chemistry, though. If anything, it allowed us to open up even more in ways we may not have otherwise.

Eden was funny, intelligent, gorgeous—everything I’d ever wanted in a woman.

But I couldn’t really have her.

I had accepted things would have to stay the way they were—until the day I found a clue that led me straight to her.

So I took a chance.

And that was when our love story really began.

My Review:

Ryder and Eden ‘meet’ online and as you expect from the title they fall in love. It wasn’t an easy road and when the twist happens I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. I have to say I don’t know how Ward thinks of these twist but they always seem to fit right in with the story and brings a new perspective as well.

“That’s the thing. Life takes you in unexpected directions. There’s good, and there’s bad to that. Sometimes on a detour, you find what you need in the least likely of places.”

This was a really cute, funny, heartfelt and heartbreaking story. Several topics in the book hit close to home and I love books that I can relate to as well. Ryder and Eden are a cute couple, I loved their banter, the character development and chemistry. Plus, Ryder had a heart of gold. He’s really giving, Justin, from “Roomhate” a run for the money as my leading Penelope Ward book boyfriend.

One thing you can always count on when you read a Penelope Ward book is a unique and refreshing story. Books in the contemporary romance genre often sound the same and sometimes I feel like I’m reading the same story for the hundredth time. So with that being said you can always count on Penelope Ward to deliver something different! No two stories by this author are the same and it makes my reader heart so happy. I’ve been a big fan of this author and as long she keeps writing, I’ll keep reading and buying her books.
