    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.

Drunk Dial was a sweet and atypical friends to lovers romance that I enjoyed thoroughly in one sitting. Landon and Rana's friendship stopped at 13 but picked back up unexpectedly years later when Rana, tired, angry and drunk, decided that it was time to confront her one time friend. But after that drunk dial, Landon and Rana get so much more than they expected.

Landon lives in California. Lana lives on the other side of the country. But for a short time as kids they were neighbors until Rana's family had to leave which left Rana with a bitter taste in her mouth as her life kind of spiraled out of control after that. Having kept the letters her friend Landon wrote she looks at them from time to time especially when she's feeling down on her luck. One night she looks him up and what begins are converastions that show their bond never really broke and what they thought they knew is only skimming the surface of their reality. But now each has to open up fully and with both holding secrets, they may be over before they can ever really begin. 

I was enthralled with Landon and Rana's story. I loved both characters and their obvious attraction to each other but how they kept things superficial until they were sure was deliciously addicting. As they opened up and feelings became involved, I could not wait until they finally met. And when they did, I loved the sparks that flew. I did feel like their secrets weren't quite as angsty as I was expecting. They had the potential to really create some good push and pull but the aftermath was quite light but still kept it interesting. I am definately a big fan of Ms. Ward, her characters and her stories.
