Fate. Hate. Love. Lies.

Which four letter word will change their lives forever?

Blurb

Sydney Paige was never so mortified to hear the words "wrong number" in her life. She meant to tell off the guy who broke her best friend's heart, but unleashed her anger on a perfect stranger instead. And now her world is turned upside down by the captivating man who wants to keep her on the line.

Brian Savage is living a life he's quickly come to hate-until Sydney's wild rant has him hooked and hungry for more. Soon the sexy woman on the phone becomes the lover in his bed. But Brian has secrets, and the closer he lets Syd get, the harder it is to shield her from the devastating mistakes of his past . . .

Review by: Amy C

I am a total fan of anything J. Daniels so grabbing is book was a no brainier. HELLO... This was nothing like the other books I've read by her. This was mysterious, full of suspense and the need to trust ran thick. It all started with a misdialed phone call that sent Sydney and Brian into the weirdest meet up I've ever seen.

She isn't going to let her bestie get railed by some douchebag so she takes matters into her own hands. I've never misdialed a HOTTIE before!! Sydney wins the lotto on mess ups gone totally right. Brian has a not so glamorous side life that he is desperately trying to keep under wraps. When the mysterious stranger she misdialed texts her back she's blown away and her intrigue takes over.

So this was a different kind of read for me. Not what I expected at all from the title, good I guess. LUCK- that this mishap lead to a deeper understanding for Syd & Brian. BEST-that they wanted to work together to make something out of literally nothing. NEED-to stick together through everything thrown at them... And reall TEAM-which is what they became!!! Great book from one of my all time favorite authors!!

Review by: Stacey

Four Letter Word by J Daniels was nothing like I expected...it was good but different than her usual books....I can't quite explain how but more so it's just seemed not like her usual stuff!

This story is one full of uncertainty....as you read you don't know what's gonna happen next! This love story had started from one phone call that had 2 complete strangers start a bond like you would never imagine. Sydney has had a rough heart break and is so not looking or ready for love. Brian has deep rooted issues and a not so good side job! These two start a relationship via the phone and as time progresses they find LOVE and in the end hit a few bumps along the way some too big or are they???

Thanks J Daniels for another sweet love story!!! Forever fangirling!!!

This is a new series from J. Daniels, I've read her other books and loved them so I wanted to give this one a try. While there were things I enjoyed, there were also things that just felt off to me.

I really enjoyed how the book started off. It was a different type of meeting for two characters. The text messages back and forth were fun to read. It added some humor and mystery to the story. Both characters had a lot going on in their lives that added some drama. Around half way through the book things took a turn for me. I'm ok with insta-love romance stories but this one just seemed way too fast, especially with all the things going on in their lives. It just didn't work for me. There seemed to be a lot of little things going on, not really one big central problem. So it felt the story sort of plateaued and never really picked back up.

I thought the story was well written, had interesting characters but the storyline just seemed a little jumbled. I really enjoyed two of the secondary characters, they held my attention more than the main characters. I am excited to read what their story might bring. While this story wasn't my favorite I am excited to see what the author will give us next.

Excerpt

The sun burned across a cloudless sky. I felt the intensity of it bake into the skin of my bare shoulders.

Waves crashed against the shore, some carrying surfers with them in the distance. A few feet ahead of me, a small child kicked a sand castle and giggled with his father.

I sat down on a step and slipped my sandals off.

The sand was warm underneath my feet as I dug my toes into it, staring out at the world in front of me. I rubbed a shell between my fingers as I watched a couple walk hand-in-hand toward the pier.

They looked happy. I tried to remember the last time Marcus held my hand, or even reached for it.

My chest burned when I couldn’t conjure up an image in my mind.

I looked down at the faint line marking my left ring finger. The token I was left with now that I no longer wore my ring. It was subtle, thanks to my naturally pale skin, but to me it stood out like embers glowing in the dark.

I hated it. I didn’t need a reminder of how I’d failed as a wife. Or how Marcus stopped seeing me as one.

Maybe I could coat my entire hand in sunblock except for that thin strip. Burn the memory away.

The idea seemed promising enough to consider.

From my back pocket, my cell beeped with an incoming message.

I wiped the tear from my cheek as I stood and palmed my phone, expecting to see Tori’s name lit up on my screen.

I froze on the step, my free hand on the railing as I stared curiously at the message and the number it was sent from.

Wild Girl. Eaten any innocent men alive today yet?

My lip twitched, the hint of a smile.

I sat back down, reading the message a second time as I remembered my conversation with this stranger yesterday.

My accidental verbal beat-down.

Jesus. I really let him have it.

I couldn’t think of the last time I was that embarrassed.

I told the guy to remove a dildo from his mouth, for Christ sakes.

All in all, whoever this was seemed to be a good sport about it. He could’ve laid into me and cussed me out. Made me feel even more like a complete shit for dialing the wrong number and not confirming the identity of my intended victim before I tore into him like he owed me money.

He was more than decent about the whole thing. Easily forgiving.

And now he was messaging me out of nowhere and striking up conversation.

Wild.

He wanted to talk to me.

Huh.

I tapped my thumb on the edge of the phone case, then hovered over the letters of my keypad as I stared at the message.

Did I even want to talk to this guy anymore? Wasn’t this weird? We didn’t know each other. Our encounter was a mistake. A one-time mishap, never to be repeated.

Right?
