Drunk dialing? Have you ever done it? Well, I have and to say it's embarrassing when you sober up is soooo true. But what happens when a drunk dial leads to two former friends reconnecting that soon leads to a love connection? In the case of Penelope Ward's latest standalone, Drunk Dial she has readers ringing and dialing in to a modern romance that has steam, humor, heart and raw emotions.
One drunken night, Rana Saloomi decides to google up and dial Landon Roderick. It is there she goes on drunken spiel and tells Landon off about what happened thirteen years ago. Taken aback Landon calls back Rana and they try to clear up a miscommunication. Soon that one drunken phone call leads them to exchanging text messages and phone calls.
After several texts and phone conversations, Rana and Landon develops this deep friendship that also blurs into romantic feelings. As they tell each other secrets, they soon began to break down walls. Well these walls aren't broken down rapidly as Landon and Rana both carry a broken past and secrets.
Flawed. Real. Vulnerable. Scared. Yup, these words practically sums them both up. But the beautiful aspect of this is that it makes readers like myself able to connect with Landon and Rana. Their slow burn romance is what makes this love connection so real and palpable. There was no need to rush for sex because their chemistry alone will have your hearts flutter with each call and text. Yes, it will leave a big fat smile on your face.
So what happens when Rana and Landon are finally a couple? Can their relationship survive the long distance? Him being in California and Rana in Michigan?
Drunk Dial was your emotional slow burn romance that made you feel. Feel for the characters and most importantly feel the love radiating between them. I love everything about this book from the writing, witty dialogue, and the romance. So if you are ready to dial in a sweet and heartfelt love story then you better answer that Drunk Dial.

☆☆☆☆ 4.5 stars ☆☆☆☆
One night while Rana was drunk out of her mind and feeling sorry for herself, she ended up drunk dialing her childhood friend Landon. She let everything out that she had been feeling for years and found that what she thought happened wasn’t the real story at all. This call started the many calls after, that reconnected old friends. First started out innocently just talking about the past and not long after the call became very hot and dirty. They connected quick and fell hard. Their love for each other came out fast and neither one hid their feelings for each other, which I enjoyed. There was never games played, there were lots of feeling shared and where they went from there.
This story was fast pace romance second chance romance, with lots of love and hope for the future. Rana started out as a very low on herself and together these two picked each other up, like they never parted when they were just kids. Their connection was instant and their want for each other was quick. I also love that Landon wasn’t an alpha male, he was more mellow and very loving. He wasn’t too demanding and knew what he wanted. Then there's Rana, who became a woman with Landon’s help. A really enjoyable love story.
