Mackenzie Miller is the perfect alpha hero. Ruthless business. Cold hearted. Hiding his emotional baggage behind mask of indifference. Very few people close to him know his soft core. He is afraid to get hurt and left behind again so he keeps everyone at a distance. But something about Frances made him fall hard and fast, even after he tried to resist her charm. Frances couldn't easily make him believe about the love story of their grandparents but different facts kept coming out and he got invested into the incomplete love story too. Through the mission, they came closer and closer. Frances has been through a lot of grief and pain. She has risen from the ashes. She has overcome the feelings of inadequacy and she has promised herself she will never ever compromise with her self respect and self worth. Even for the charisma and sex appeal of Mackenzie Miller. He made her feel so wanted and cherished and appreciated but she wouldn't settle for anything less than his whole heart. The glimpses of the past through the letters of their grandparents added to the emotional depth of this story. Mackenzie needed someone to challenge him and Frances needed someone to accept her with all her different sides.


This story contains some sensitive issues like religious hate and loss of an unborn child so read carefully.

I reviewed an early copy voluntarily through Netgalley

I adored this book! It was a fairly short, quick read but made an impact! I loved that it was an older couple falling in love, with New Adult being so popular now I feel like you don't see a lot of romances with people over 35+. I've had customers ask for them though so it's nice to have a new book to recommend! Mackenzie was a great hero, he was damaged but so caring and considerate, most of the time, and even when he did fuck up he corrected it and apologized. Frankie was fiesty, and soo much fun! I loved how she wouldn't take no for an answer and her determination to find her Paps long-lost love was so sweet! I really enjoyed how the two came together and their journey to work through their respective grief and pasts.

My Dearest Mackenzie is a beautiful read. Mackenzie is the head of his family business and hasn't followed his grandmother's final letter yet. Frankie is trying to piece her grandfather's life through letters she finds. She is tenacious when it comes to trying to get Mackenzie's attention. I love how Frankie wears him down. The letters of lost love bring Frankie and Mackenzie closer. Both overcome their past and drop walls as they work together to discover the love their respective grandparent had for the other. I love this second chance of love between Mackenzie and Frankie. I could not get enough of this beautiful read. I loved it so much. You need to click this now.

I actually really liked this book. I can't lie, it was kind of cute when she was stalking him at the beginning. I loved seeing a man who thought he could never love, fall so hard for this woman. The rating could be higher but there was a random isnotreal mention which could have been replaced with literally any other country and it would have made no difference.

I received an arc through netgalley.
