Lady Ludmilla’s Accidental Letter by Sofi Laporte
A resolute spinster. An irresistible rake. One accidental letter… Can love triumph over this hopeless muddle in the middle of the London season?
Lady Ludmilla Windmere is mortified. The spinster extraordinaire has fallen in love with her best friend, and that cannot be. The problem? She hasn’t met him. Not once. For they have only ever corresponded by letter. When she sets out to uncover his identity, her world shatters. For Addy turns out to be none other but London’s worst rake.
Adrian St.Addington is perturbed. The rakehell extraordinaire is developing a marked tendre for a spinster, and that cannot be. The problem? She might be mistaking him for someone he is not. Or, what is worse, know precisely who he is. A depraved heart like his surely cannot fall in love…least of all with a plain, outspoken spinster.
Determined to discover the truth behind the man she loves, Lu does what she does best: she sits down and writes a letter…

Lady Ludmilla’s Accidental Letter was about the spinster, Lady "Lu" Ludmilla Marie Windmere, and London's worst rakehell, Lord Adrian Adey, the Viscount St Addington. After having been treated poorly during her first season and then losing their parents, Lu and her sister, Jessica, were split up, with Lu going to stay in Bath with their Aunt Mildred, and Jessica going to live in London to live with their Aunt Ernestina. While Jessica got to live it up in town, Lu had been made Aunt Mildred's companion and turned into a drudge. While living in Bath, Lu wrote a congratulatory letter to one of her friends who had recently married. The letter was filled with childhood remembrances and even some of their antics. However, the response she received was not from her friend, but from the person who took up residence in her friend's former home and had mistakenly read the missive. This started a three-year correspondence between Lu and her new friend, "Addy"...although this pen pal informed her almost immediately that Addy was not of the female persuasion but was, in fact, a man. Lu's London aunt decided that she should join her sister in London in order to attend the Season together so that both Lu and Jessica could find husbands. She decided to mention the move to Addy but was surprised when Addy wrote suggesting that they finally meet while she was in town. Lu's curiosity about the identity of her pen pal had been eating her up. On the day her aunt decided that she needed a whole new wardrobe in order to be presentable for society, Lu realized how close she was to Addy's residence. When she saw a man come out of the townhouse, she was appalled, for it was a man who had been instrumental in her devastation several years before. Surely that wasn't her friend? Or was it? The twists and turns of this book were often confusing. It seemed the author enjoyed keeping the reader puzzled from beginning to end. Was this one love story...or two? Who was the real "Addy" that was corresponding with Lu? Who would Lu choose? Would Lu choose anyone? It was a rollercoaster of questions that took forever to finally receive answers. While the storyline was a bit unique, the drama and angst were unnecessarily high and the book was drawn out for too long, nearly losing the interest of the reader. The emotions were lopsided, at best. There was never any real chemistry or passion with any of the characters, let alone the main two. The main focus was on the correspondence and "who was who" of the story. There were no real romances to speak of. It was more or less all angst, anger, deception (after deception), and making people either jealous or trying to make them believe a lie was the truth and the truth was a lie. It was very frustrating. The characters were a bit stiff and unbelievable. They lacked so much that I don't even know where to start. Every single character was immature and they were all too cowardly to speak honestly to each other. There was so much wrong with this book that it boggled the mind. This book definitely did not earn a five-star rating...and I don't think I'll read the second book that is supposed to be coming out next year. I won't waste my time.
