    About this audiobook

    An instant USA Today bestseller!

    It all began with just one line.

    “I’ll wait forever if I have to.”

    The BookTok sensation PEN PAL is a high-octane, tautly written dark romance with an unforgettable twist that will leave readers gasping. This breathtaking romance about undeniable love from superstar J.T. Geissinger is not to be missed!

    The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence:

    I’ll wait forever if I have to.

    It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know.

    Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply?

    You.

    I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn’t. I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong.

    We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then one day, the letters stopped. When I found out why, it was already too late.

    Dante was at my doorstep.

    And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.

    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to be a must-read with a roller coaster of emotions. The book is cleverly written with unexpected plot twists that keep readers guessing. The narrators are excellent, and the twist at the end is very unexpected. However, some readers did not enjoy the plot twist and felt that it deviated from the author's usual work. Overall, this book is a lovely and spicy mystery with great characters and writing. Readers highly recommend it.

      This is one of my favorite authors to begin with…this just goes to prove why. This was so deep, well written, thought provoking. I laughed, I cried, and now that it’s done I wish I could read it again for the first time.
    • 5/5
      This will forever have a place in my heart. Amazing. Must read!!
    • 5/5
      This book had me in a chokehold. I listened to it in one day. Narrators are amazing - this was the first time I've heard Troy Durand narrate a book and I love him. Very spicy, very twisty? highly recommended.
    • 5/5
      Looooooved this book!!!! Everything I was looking for that I didn’t know I wanted in a book!
    • 5/5
      I just finished this book in one day it was soooo freaking good, the twist at the end was ?
    • 5/5
      I wasn’t sure this would be for me, but after reading the reviews saying there is a surprise twist I thought I would give it a go. I only picked it right at the end and enjoyed the fact that the plot wasn’t all spice and no substance. The male narrator for the name character has a voice to die for!
    • 5/5
      Wow. Now that was good and Troy Duran’s voice was a treat!
    • 5/5
      I absolutely loved it!! I was so wrong twice in thinking I knew what was going on! I laughed, got goosebumps, hair back of my neck stand up, cried, and did a ????! I am so glad I went in blind with this book. TBH I didn’t think this would become my #1 book from this author (Queens & Monsters, was my #1), but sorry it just got knocked down to 2nd. Will definitely be on my RE-READ list & will be buying both the book & audio cause Aiden’s voice is CHEF’s KISS
    • 5/5
      I didn’t know anything about this book before starting. I just heard it was good. Wow. I was shocked. Not how I expected the book to turn out but it’s good either way. Great spice and crazy plot twist.
    • 5/5
      Didn’t end the way I thought it was going to but was so GOOD. I do recommend giving this one a read.
    • 5/5
      I absolutely loved this. It's not what I was expecting, and that made it so much better! Aiden Snow will always be a favorite narrator of mine, and the chemistry with him and the female narrator were perfect. 10/10, will be recommending this to others!

    • 5/5
      Wow, just wow I have no words to explain the roller coaster of emotions. This book brought me through, but I do wanna say Aidan? I love him. He is so far my favorite definitely in my top five at first I was annoyed because I was so confused as to what was going on, but the giant plot twist at the end that I didn’t even know was coming was insane. I love how Aidan? was still waiting for her like he promised I love every part of this book. It answered all my questions thank God wow just wow.
    • 5/5
      The best narrator ever
      I can’t even explain what I felt during this book
      The story is amazing
      You can never see the end and you can never predict the plot twist
      I would definitely reread it (re-listen)
    • 5/5
      5 stars aren't enough!!! I freaking love that a romance novel had such awesome plot twists and definitely not your typical ending! I have zero negative thoughts on this book at all! whatever I listen to next has some really big shoes to fill! Wow!
    • 5/5
      Mind blowing! Amazing! Unexpected twist! It's been a pleasure to read/listen this book! A Must read/Listen!
    • 5/5
      What a ride this one is! Also, you’ll need a splash of cold water after all that spice. PHEW!
    • 5/5
      This really is a divine comedy huh. You got me. You got me so good.
    • 5/5
      I really liked the story, and the writing and narration is well done. The story was pretty predictable, but still left some twists to be discovered, which I liked. The steamy parts are steamyyyy NSFW!!
    • 5/5
      Amazing book! I thought I knew how this book was gonna go by the first couple chapters, but it 100% took me on the best roller coaster ride that kept me on my toes! Absolutely a great book!
    • 5/5
      This legit was such a beautiful well written love story with some major plot twist. Don’t read any of the negative reviews, do yourself a favor and just read the book or listen to the audiobook. To the narrators great job bringing this book to life. To the author keep the books coming!!!
    • 5/5
      OMG!!!!

      How can review this book without spoiling it….

      Only the smut is smutty, the mouth on Aiden, the love he has for Kayla….. the thrilling, the mystery and the WHAT FACTOR in this book…..

      OMG i understand now way it’s so good.
    • 5/5
      What a mind f@$k. I absolutely loved this book. Incredibly well written. The narrators were top notch! I've never read a book quite like this one. A new favorite!
    • 5/5
      This book was very good. It made me feel so many different emotions, which I always appreciate from a good story. It was definitely not what I expected, but in a good way. To add to that, the audiobook itself was pretty good. A poorly made audiobook can really ruin the story for me when I’m listening instead of actually reading. Luckily, I didn’t have that problem with this one
    • 5/5
      No Words!!! ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS IVE READ!! Highly recommended
    • 5/5
      This book was sooo good! I was not expecting that twist!
    • 5/5
      The book storyline and it's plot twist were amazing 10 out of 10
    • 4/5
      I will give it to the author to say that the story kept me intrigued. I can’t say that I love the ending because I’m sad about it. I wasn’t expecting it.
    • 5/5
      It definitely wasn’t what I was expecting but it was amazing regardless!!!
    • 5/5
      This book broke me!!! Amazing!!! Great story!!! So many twists!
