What if you fell in love with a man you’d never met?
When marketing coordinator Liberty Dryden tries to help radio station owner and DJ Tom Higgs attract new listeners and advertisers, she hits a roadblock.
He refuses to meet with her, and she has no idea why.
Tom has an affliction that’s plagued him his whole life—a painfully crippling stutter. On air, he can speak to thousands, but in person, he stumbles to find every word.
After a woman stalked him, he’s convinced his fame and fortune are all women want. He’s unable to tell Liberty why he won’t meet in person. How could he explain his unfounded doubts and his own issues?
Without her, disaster looms for his station. But, meeting her might prove he’s right about women.
Liberty takes matters into her own hands and calls into his radio show… using an assumed name.
She never expects to hit it off with him. If she reveals her secret, it will put her new relationship and her job at risk.

Guest Review from Donna Cline
What I think you should know:
Sincerely Yours is a contemporary Christian Romance by Kari Trumbo. The book follows a character that was introduced in Trumbo’s story in the Betwixt Two Hearts. You can follow this story without reading it, but the story was a fun one and helps you get to know the background characters Drew and Addi.
What you might need to know:
Liberty is a breast cancer survivor. Tom has a stuttering problem and struggles with anxiety. Both Tom and Liberty seem to have some depression.
What I think about this book:
As a cancer survivor this was a very hard book for me to read. I found myself relating to many of the things that Liberty said and felt, it is hard when you are no longer the same person that you were prior to diagnosis. It is even harder when you face health problems, and don’t feel like you can turn to those who are closest to you. I did not agree with the way that she shut out her friends. My heart hurt for Drew with his speech impediment and his anxiety. If you do not have a personal connection to cancer you may enjoy this book more than I did, I would like to read the rest of the books in the series to see what happened to the other characters.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Celebrate Lit, this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.

More from Kari
Thank you all so much for joining me on my blog tour! I’m happy to be here. I write an eclectic mix of historical (western) and contemporary (western and not) romance, sometimes with a hint of suspense woven in. I can’t help it; my education is a degree in psychology with a sociology minor focusing on criminality and deviance… the suspense just happens whether I plan it or not.
I am one of those writers who usually gets a story idea and then writes it. I usually don’t write a book just because I “should”. That being said, this is one of those books where readers asked for it and I delivered. The first story in the series is in a popular book bundle Betwixt Two Hearts. In my story, the secondary character Liberty Dryden (named after one of my readers) is a really fun character, even though she’s only in a few scenes. Readers liked her so much, they wanted her to have her own happily ever after.
It’s a little like the movie You’ve Got Mail, but different too.
This series was my first big step outside of the western genre (which is funny, because I’m not at all western) and that forced me to think in new ways, which helped with the characters and bringing this story to life.
My favorite poignant quote from Sincerely Yours is, “If I can’t forgive those who ask for it, it ruins my witness. I literally can’t be the love of Jesus if I’m not willing to forgive those who wronged me. Especially if they earnestly ask.”
Thank you for joining me and happy reading!
