'Letters to Kelly' has wit, style and a great deal of humour; it need all of these to counterbalance the truly grim backstory of Jax Winchester, true romantic and devoted would-be lover of Kelly O'Brien. This story is constructed so that the present day action is interspersed with flashbacks spanning eleven years, but this is done so smoothly that they flow naturally from the action. In some respects, 23 year old Kelly seems less mature than at 12 or 16, but I suppose enough emotional bruising can make anyone regress a bit. Jax, on the other hand, is lovely, a true romantic hero; passionate, faithful, persistant, self-sacrificing to his love's best interest and drop-dead gorgeous! And the hero of the romantic novel Jax is writing is not half bad, either. Its in the creation of the novel within the novel that the funniest sequences happen, as 'Jared', Jax's romantic lead and alter ego, has his own views on both his own situation and Jax's, and doesn't hesitate to express them. This book is a definite keeper, and a round of applause to Ms Brockmann for creating such rounded, credible and sympathetic characters.

A Touching Story
1 April 2003
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was not sure if I would like this Brockmann book, especially after being disappointed with her last novel, although about 80% of what she has written I consider keepers. But this is a different style of book than her norm. To begin with, this is not a SEAL book. Plus you have the whole "romance writer talking to his character" aspect, along with running a story over an (abbreviated) eleven year period, so I started out a bit leery. Was I surprised at how good this book is!
The characters are well developed, the letters amazing, and the plot interesting. I didn't put this book down, but read the whole thing in two hours. It is very different from her other works. Usually someone is in danger or there is a conspiracy to uncover, or both, which is what usually moves Brockmann's plots along. This time it is a persistent hero fighting for the trust of the women he loves.
The only complaint I have is that the ending wrapped up way to fast when Kelly learned about why Jax left and didn't come back. The last few pages felt abrupt. But other than that, I put this up there with Prince Joe, Forever Blue and Frisco's Kid. In the end, I really liked the fact that the main characters had known each other for years. I get tired of the contrived aspect of two people falling in love when they have known each other for 72 hours. This seemed much more believable, which made the story all the more poignant and memorable.

Excellent.....

Lets just be up front.
This is NOT her usual Navy Seal Alpha Male....
I was at first a little unsure what to expect, because I was used to her writing. Or so I thought so.
This book was excellent.
I loved the humor in it.
Ms. Brockmann gave us a more sensitive male who is the one wanting a commitment and knowing that he loved this woman no matter what. He was the one who was in touch with his feelings and she had issues with hers.
It isn't Ms. Brockmann's usual Navy Seal Guy, but it shows how talented she really is.
I liked this book and would say to buy it.
To a new reader of Ms. Brockmann I should say that you should read her other books, but not to expect this type of story, but good nevertheless!

Letters to Kelly
13 April 2003
By Alane
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I just read Letters to Kelly by Suzanne Brockmann. I finished it in one sitting. There was no way I could put it down. I think it might just be the most romantic story I've ever read, and I've read hundreds of romance novels. Jax, Kelly, and their histories - their shared history, and each of their separate paths - were woven into an incredibly beautiful tale. There were some funny moments to keep things from becoming overly intense, including a few priceless scenes where Jax was arguing with his own characters.
Letters to Kelly is not especially steamy, or action-oriented, or suspenseful, or a lot of other things that often make a book good. None of those elements would have added a thing to the story. It's all about the characters, their relationship, and their emotions. It's truly one of the best books I've ever read. If you are a fan of Suzanne Brockmann, romance in general, or even think you might like to give a romance novel a try, don't miss Letters to Kelly.
