I love Raney's books. Her characters are regular, imperfect people who find someone who is perfect for them. This was about a man and woman who get to know each other by correspondence and begin to fall in love even before they meet. The misconceptions they had about how the other person would look were funny and the story was very charming.

Love, humor, and surprise - an excellent read!
A quiet inn, the tap-tap of computer keys, a furry cat foot-warmer, and an unseen host fill Madeleine Houser's days while her home is being remodeled. New to town, the best-selling author is heartened by her host's kind notes, her spry, elderly neighbor, and glimpses of a handsome stranger. Whether it's meeting the deadline for her next book or meeting Mr. Right, Maddie has a full life but an empty heart. What's a girl to do? In the delightful, award-winning tale "Playing by Heart," author Deborah Raney weaves love, humor, and surprise into a warm blanket for the heart. If you're a romantic, this is the book for you!
