Loving this excerpt so far and can’t wait to read the full version! It’s just what I’ve loved about all of Kate Clayborn’s books – so much sweetness and fun.

I would have waited to request this if I'd realized it was only an excerpt--which is admittedly my own fault for automatically hitting the request button as soon I saw the author's name without reading further!--or that it wouldn't be available in .epub, because I also had some technical difficulties with the file. But as far as the content, I enjoyed the partial and would love to be able to review the rest when it's ready (especially if it will be available in .epub then).

Note: I don't want to leave a star rating yet either since I would never normally rate an entire book based on an excerpt, but NetGalley insists, so I'm going with a baseline "I liked it" 3 stars for now. My ratings for this author's past books would probably average to more like 3.5-4 stars, though, and if that trend continues the full book could certainly end up being a 4 or higher.

Great teaser for this upcoming release! Loved the witty and descriptive writing in bringing to life the lettering, stationery and characters. I can't wait to find out what happens between Meg and Reid, this book's release can't come quickly enough!

What a tease in the best way! Kate Clayborn is a master of tension building. I knew we were going to be left on a cliffhanger as soon as the hero walked into the shop. I can't wait to read the rest of the book. I am going to need to put a font sheet next to me or something though, so I can picture what the heroine is describing.

I loved the excerpt shared on Netgalley, particularly how heroine described the different fonts she lettered and the personality of her clients. I cannot comment on the romantic relationship since the characters had only met at end of excerpt, but I am eager to read more.

I really enjoy the first chapter of Love Lettering and I’m already on the hook! I am so excited to read this novel in its entirety!

I received an excerpt - the first chapter - of this novel to review. It was a delight. I love the premise of hand lettering and designing paper products as a business. The first chapter ends with a delightful cliffhanger and I cannot wait to see where it goes. I’m already invested and anxious to find out more.

I didn’t realize it was only a chapter excerpt…I cannot wait to read the rest. I am intrigued by how Reid saw what she put in the wedding program, and also what she did in the first place.

I received a free copy of the first chapter of LOVE LETTERING by Kate Clayborn through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Meg Mackworth is an artist with letter; she’s famous for her hand-drawn custom journals. A year ago, Meg fell in love with Reid Sutherland; at the time, Reid was a client paying her to create his wedding programs. Meg has spent the year trying to forget him. When he shows up on his one-year anniversary, Meg believes he’s there to purchase his wife a gift for their paper anniversary. He’s not. Reid found the message Meg couldn’t resist hiding in the wedding program and he wants to know how Meg knew his marriage wouldn’t last. I look forward to reading the rest of the book.

I can't wait to get the full book! If the rest of the book is as good as the first chapter, this book is going to be a good, fun read. I will update this review after I read the whole book.

Completely intrigued and captivated by Chapter One. Thank You, NetGalley - and here I sit hoping for more. Delightful!

I was fortunate to read the first chapter of this book and now I cannot wait for the real thing to arrive! I really enjoyed the other books of Kate Clayborn and I only got a glimpse of this one, but I was ready to read on!

This one intrigued and hooked me up from the first page!
It took less than ten minutes to read 14 pages! And I like to scream like " OMG I want more! It's not fair to stop here! This is like a torture"
So I'm deeply, honestly volunteered to read more! For so long it's hard to find a proper romance to enjoy. But this one seems like one of the best ones!
I hope I would read the rest of it.
It's not fair to give stars from the first pages of the book. Because everything could be changed, the story could go to somewhere unexpected or the characters could do something unconventional!
But so far it seems like at least four stars book!
Special thanks to publishers and NetGalley for this partial copy in exchange my honest review!

I LOVED the little bit I was able to read!! I want to read the whole story now. Such vivid words that made a wonderful picture.

I’m intrigued! Love Lettering has such a fun, fresh premise and I really enjoyed Clayborn’s writing. Will definitely be checking out more of her work! This first chapter pulled me in immediately and I cannot wait to read more!!

Ok, let me just start with getting the rating of my chest. I like Kate Clayborn's writing and that's why I wanted to read it, but I haven't noticed that it was only the first chapter, and I wouldn't have requested it if I'd known. Much less starting to read it. Imagine my surprise, and how confused, I was when it suddenly ended.
Sooo, how in the world am I supposed to rate something from only the first chapter? You're right, it's not possible. So I'll just give it a right in the middle - 3 stars.

The first chapter of Love Lettering is to writing what calligraphy is to lettering. This is just beautiful, and I'm so much looking forward to reading the whole thing.

Definitely an intriguing start! Bit torturous knowing that it was a sampler, yet got sucked in immediately anyway. Promising novel. Without a doubt, one all NetGalley romance readers will be wanting to get!

Loved this! Already draws you in to the story and introduces you to the two main characters. Can't wait to read the rest of the book.

I’m hooked! This was the first time I’ve read anything by Clayborn (even though she’s been on my TBR list forever!) and I really liked it. The premise for the book sounds great and I really enjoyed the tone of the short excerpt.. I am now eagerly anticipating the rest of this book!

Just received a taste of this book and I absolutely can not wait for more . The characters are alive and I can see the scene play out so well. This chapter was graciously provided by the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
