EMILY'S REVIEW DRUNK DIAL...BY PENELOPE WARD

OMG!! I just finished this late last night, and I am in LOVE!!!  Landon Roderick is a seriously hot, tattooed, totally chill dude and yet totally alpha when it counts.  After receiving a drunk dial call from his childhood friend, he's totally open to talking and catching up with her... I love it!!!

Rana Saloomi. Yeah, I know, that name is too funny... And it totally fits her. Beautiful Rana Banana, as Landon called his childhood friend is a belly dancer, yet totally insecure and totally funny!!  How can someone who belly dances be insecure??  Trust me, Rana is sweet and vulnerable and so damn endearing. I totally want to hang with her!!

So, that drunk dial brought back a friendship between 2 kids and so much more. Living in Michigan and Cali Rana and Landon got to know each other again through flirty phone calls.  I loved how they had such a connection without having seen each other in so long, but both were keeping secrets... Secrets that were big. On both sides.

As the story unfolds and we begin to peel back the layers of Landon and Rana, their pasts clearly are getting in the way of their future, but only because they are keeping them hidden from each other!! Their relationship grows and develops so naturally, it was really beautiful.

Secrets are revealed, and then revealed again. Rana and Landon have to battle with their pasts and their own demons to keep their relationship together. I found these scenes especially endearing because they talked and thought about things but didn't run. Their maturity and behavior was very admirable!!

So many obstacles to overcome, so many secrets to be uncovered and so much love and sexiness.  I read this book in one sitting. There was no way I couldn't find out what they were keeping from each other and how they would get through this!!!  Not everything is always perfect, and life is tough and I swear they are better people because of this!!

So 5 honest lip smacks to Penelope Ward and Drunk Dial... Hey, maybe we should try it sometime, ya never know!!!
