Oh my goodness!! This tease has me hooked! I can’t wait to read the full book. This is my first time reading anything by Kate Clayborn and I absolutely love her writing style and I’m already invested in these characters. I need to know what happened and what’s going to happen...now!

OMG Please send me the rest of this book!!!! I was hooked from page one and want - need - to know what happens next. How did she know the wedding was doomed? How did he find out she knew?? What happens next? Yikes, too many unfulfilled questions!!

I'm very intrigued by the first chapter and love that the main character's sort of implausible job is actually a real occupation. The last sentence definitely has me wanting to read more when the full book is released.

Um, I need this now please. If the rest of it is anything like this excerpt, I regret reading it.... before I checked the publication date. However will I wait that long??

I only had access to an excerpt from Chapter one, so I'll reserve my opinions until I've read the whole book. But the first chapter definitely had me wanting more! The premise of this book is an interesting one, especially for those of us who are captivated by the beauty of the written word. There are lush details about fonts, and immersive descriptions that drop you right in the middle of the story. This is one I'll be looking forward to reading! *I'm keeping my star review mid-range because I haven't read the whole book, but it's one I expect to enjoy when I do!*

Not sure what is more upsetting. Realizing this wasn't the full ARC or that the excerpt ended with <b>such</b> a hook and now I have to wait until <b>J a n u a r y</b>.

Pls, NetGalley, can I has some more?

I'm usually quite courageous when it's about taking a chance on a new author. I didn't realize that this one would only be an excerpt but in hindsight I'm thankful!

I just finished the first chapter and now I want more! Kate Clayborn's writing is figurative and a little quirky. I enjoyed this snippet and I'd love to read the whole story to find out HOW Meg new Reid's marriage would fail and how HE knew what Meg had done to his wedding program. How he came to the conclusion that Meg knew his marriage would fail. Totally intrigued!

4 stars because, let's be honest, you can't judge a book by reading one chapter.

This is only the first chapter so I don't have much feedback to provide at this time, except this made me SO EXCITED to read the rest of the book!!!!

NetGalley and the publisher offered only the first chapter for review, and that was a very smart move. The concept of this story is stellar, combining the art of hand-lettering, the mystique of hidden symbols of messages, a swirl of a story structure, fabulous characters, and details that leave you with quite an appetite for more. I love books with strong visuals, and this book has them. Worth waiting for the full book to be released next year. It's clearly going to be a good one.

Didn't realize this was just an excerpt when I began reading. Well it did exactly as intended, drew me in and left me wanting more. Looking forward to continuing with the story!

This excerpt was short, sweet, and let me wanting more. It did exactly what an excerpt should do. I really enjoy when authors know or at least sound like they know what they are talking about in regards to a main character's passion. With this book , the MC seems to be very into stationary, calligraphy, and creating custom greeting cards, wedding announcements, and other designs. The way the author discusses the MC's choices and techniques felt very spot on and made the excerpt all the more intriguing. What really took the cake for me though was the final lines. Ending on a cliffhanger like that made me want to grab this book right away. I am definitely going to be putting this on my "Want to Read List" on Goodreads and maybe even my spending my Christmas money on it once it's released.

The first chapter of Love Lettering has done exactly what every book should do: leave the reader wanting more. I am completely hooked. The writing is crisp and the premise is fresh. The first chapter flowed beautifully and I loved being inside Meg's mind. I cannot wait to see how the dynamic plays out between Meg and Reid. I love a romance where two people, who seem to have nothing in common, slowly figure each other out and fall in love (especially when the odds are stacked against them). The only thing I don't like is how long I will have to wait until the novel comes out! This novel is definitely one to look out for in the coming months!

The first chapter left me wanting more!!!! Looking forward to seeing what comes next for Meg. Her history with the store and Reid is intriguing.

My bad. I thought this was the whole book. But turned out only excerpt. Oh well...at least this makes me want to get my grubby hands on the book ASAP

So far this excerpt is only the first chapter. That being said, the first chapter of this left me wanting to read more! Can't wait to find out more about these characters.

I think about fonts a lot. It's part of my job. So when a book opens with a meditation on sans serif fonts, I am there for it. Then we widen out to information about our heroine, where she's working, and her (not) relationship to our hero. This is a delightful first chapter and it has me wanting more.

I was super excited to read this excerpt from Love Lettering, and look forward to providing a more complete review when I get a chance to read the entire book.

Bummer that this is only an opening chapter, but a Clayborn novel is always much anticipated. And, from the opening, Love Lettering will be no less ... at least by this reviewer! "Some more, please?"

I didn't realize this was just an excerpt. I enjoyed the title and hope it comes with a vocabulary/glossary of print terms. It left my hanging and I really want to know what happens!

This first chapter was intriguing and I really want to read the rest of the book. It's interesting that she thinks I'm color!

More please. What a teaser this was and yes I definitely need to read this one! Much too tempting an opening to pass up!!
