J. Daniels proves once again why she's one of my favorite authors!

Love was a risk. It was wild and unpredictable. You could either hold on for the ride, not knowing how it would end, or you could let go and never know the amazing you could’ve had.

After Sydney gets dumped by her husband, she flees to Dogwood Beach to stay with her best friend. When Sydney stays with Tori, she finds out that the guy Tori had been seeing broke her heart. Sydney is out looking for blood after all that anger she had for her husband. And the perfect excuse to let out all that frustration comes in the form of dialing the man Tori was dating to give him a piece of her mind. After Sydney rambles on and on turns out she dialed the wrong number and the guy on the line is actually amused by Sydney. They start texting, then calling each other, and ultimately confiding in one another.

Best two and a half weeks of my life came from a girl who was never meant to give me anything. And she was giving me everything.

I was so impressed by this novel that J. Daniels crafted of two strangers meeting accidentally through a phone call! I was especially drawn to Brian Savage and the predicament he was in. He looks forward to every text and phone call with Sydney and he wants nothing more than to be with her, but it's not that easy. He has a job that won't exactly make it easy to be with Sydney. I wasn't expecting the job he had and the way. It would break my heart when he was vulnerable and after learning why it brought me to tears.

"You’re the best mistake I’ve ever made."

Sydney was such a firecracker and I loved that about her! There's a reason Brian calls her Wild. The nickname fits her to a T. And when she gets together with Tori, it's even more! Sydney and Tori felt authentic and their friendship was unbelievably tight. I loved how these two were always there for one another. If one felt like doing something crazy and, let's be honest, not normal, the other one would encourage and do the same thing. I mean, there's a car scene that totally explains this (and I was singing "Bust Your Windows" while reading this).

Overall, Four Letter Word surprised me in such a good way. It was everything I didn't know I wanted and more! The wit and humor had me laughing, the romance had me swooning and melting inside, the friendships were some of the best I've read in a while. J. Daniels delivered a great story and I can't wait for the rest of the series!
