Review Blitz: Love Online by Penelope Ward!

A Standalone Contemporary Romance Novel

By: NY Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author, Penelope Ward

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

Synopsis:

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.

~Marlene's Review~

Clear your schedules... Love Online is yet another 'One Sitting Read'.
As much as I tried to slow down and savor it, I devoured it in the matter of a few hours.
P. Ward not only brings us another swoon worthy male lead but also a strong and independent female lead that many books in this genre continue to lack. The characters are so well developed that when they finally meet, it's an instant connection for the readers. My heart swooned, skipped a few beats, then melted in the best possible way.
Get to one-clicking, Peeps!

"When something is worth fighting for, you don’t wait around to figure out logistics. You say yes, you accept the gift you’ve been given, and you figure out the rest later, because life is too damn short to be unhappy.”
