From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.


It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him. Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions. I didn’t think he’d call me back. I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become. Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. And he had his own secrets. Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake. 

 A complete STANDALONE.

AMIE'S 4 STAR REVIEW


This was a decent read that had the appeal of the boy from childhood she never forgot !! I am always a sucker for those books of what might have been , second chances , funny run ins or in this case the DRUNK DIAL !! I had to laugh because I can recall a few times saying and doing some really stupid things on the phone when I had a few too many !! Though this gave the story a lighthearted feel I did find that there was a serious vibe to some of the story and a deeper connection than I expected. Rana and Landon may have went their separate ways years ago but they never forgot each other. Would this drunk dial turn into more ? Would they ever get up the nerve to see each other face to face ? Regardless - the phone conversations were funny and filled with sexual tension !! I loved the honesty and the desire for them both to figure out what really happened despite what their parents had said. In the end I feel like we got that HEA we all wanted and was able to enjoy all the stuff that came in between.
