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.
Another fantastic book by Penelope!
I absolutely LOVED the premise of this story. The execution of it was awesome, and everything that played out as a result of that phone call was amazing.
The emotions between Rana and Landon were so well-written. I loved all of their dialogue; as with all of Penelope's books that I've read, the characters have very realistic conversations, which makes the story more enjoyable to read...for me, anyway.
Oh, and this book is SMOKING HOT. Couldn't forget to mention that ;)
The story got a little heavy towards the end. Again, true to form, Penelope addressed a very deep issue similar to one she's brought up in past stories, and wove it perfectly into this story. It added to the realism of the book, and I was sucked in to the scenario and couldn't wait to see its resolution.
I can;t wait to read what she writes next!!!
