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.

Penelope Ward is one of my #oneclick, don't even read the blurb favorite authors. So of course, I was going to purchase this.
Let me start with the story was cute.
Parts were steamy, and there was an HEA. The beginning was great but it fizzled out and all the wit- I felt was gone aside from a few moments that were randomly thrown in.
I felt like there were some plot hole and time consistency happening there that was unclear.
It could have just been a typo but "over the years..." was it referring to the years they were apart or did time just jump?
Towards the end, time definitely jumped.
I will continue to love PW, but this book is the first of hers that I'm like... meh.
