Audiobook Review – Four Letter Word by J. Daniels

11/06/2016

Four Letter Word by J. Daniels

Narrated by Sebastian York & Kate Russell

Contemporary Romance Standalone start to an interrelated series.

I had heard so many great things about Four Letter Word by J. Daniels, so when I saw it was on audible with the delicious Sebastian York narrating, I clicked so fast! I’m so glad I did. Though I don’t usually like to bring up other authors in a review, in this case I need to, because Four Letter Word fulfills the wish list of more books to read like Kristen Ashley’s. No, it doesn’t feel like a copy in any way, it just gave me the same feels. A sexy alpha who is a major good guy behind his pain, and a strong, fun, likable heroine to save him. I laughed, I got teary, and in the end I hugged my phone, wanting more.

“Wanna set your whole fucking world on fire, babe ’cause that’s what you’ve done to mine.”

Sydney Paige was just unexpectedly dumped by her husband, so she moves in with her best friend Tori, who just had her heart broken as well when she found out her lover was married. Sydney, already hurting, decides to fight for her friend, and calls her best friend’s married douchwad to give him a piece of her mind.

“Hello! Remove the dildo from your fucking mouth and fucking speak.”

Except there is a little problem.

“Think you might have the wrong number, Wild. I don’t normally suck on dildos after six o’clock on Tuesdays.”

Oops, she just went wild on a wrong number!

But Brian, the wrong number, was totally intrigued by the crazy woman, so he texts her the next day, and they begin chatting. I loved how they got to know each other via text, then it developed to phone, and phone sex. But still, no photos or FaceTime. I loved how they really got to know each other and began to fall for each other sight-unseen.

“Boy, oh boy, was I feeling things. Lots of things. Tickling butterfly wings and a runaway heartbeat. Goose-bump-giving thoughts and toe-curling desires.”

Poor Brian has a dark secret he can’t let Sydney find out about. Even though he did the right thing by her, she wouldn’t understand.

She didn’t need to know that ugly, and I was done with it.
All of it.

When they finally meet in person, the two were already gone for each other, and it had just been a few weeks.

“That’s ours, Wild. What we have, how we build on it, and I don’t give a fuck if it makes sense or not. It was fast but I don’t care. People might not get it like we do but again” — he dipped closer — “I do not fuckin’ care. What I do care about is you.”

But she isn’t even divorced, and he is holding back a major part of himself, and has a huge secret she may not be able to live with.

The secondary characters in Four Letter Word are awesome as well. Jamie, the sexy surfer has that silly personality I love in a guy, and Tori is a girl I totally want to hang with. I can’t wait to read their story in Hit The Spot in December. Even though things moved quickly  for the couple in Four Letter Word, I found the instalove very believable because of the bond they formed before even seeing each other’s faces, and I love how she healed him. But whether she can handle his secret is another question entirely.

“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.”

Likes: 

  • There was lots of funny even though I wouldn’t call it a romcom. The side characters really brought the fun into it.
  • Really good character development.
  • I enjoyed the pacing of the story, it just unfolded perfectly.
  • There was some good sexy times, but it didn’t overwhelm the story.
  • I loved the main characters and the side characters and NEED to read more about them!
  • Their nicknames, Wild and Trouble. I LOVE nicknames!
  • Awesome banter.
  • The audiobook narration was perfect.
  • This was a meaty story despite the silly way they started.

Dislikes:

  • I would have liked a little more meat at the end.

The Down & Dirty:

I absolutely loved Four Letter Word by J. Daniels. While I don’t like to compare to other authors, J. Daniels gave me the feel of my favorite author, Kristen Ashley, but it never felt like she was copying. I loved the way the couple got to know each other before ever seeing each other. The mixture of fun banter, damaged hero, lovable heroine, good friends, secrets, healing, hot sex and believable love made Four Letter Word stand out as a favorite. The narration was amazing, and I think listening rather than reading may have even enhanced the book. I loved all the characters, and I so look forward to the next in the series, Hit The Spot.

Rating: 4.5-4.75 Stars, 4.25 Heat, 5 narration

- @catherinecowlesauthor has been a favorite of mi - @catherinecowlesauthor has been a favorite of mine for the last few years. In 2022, the entire Tattered and Torn series released, and I loved every single one of them. I listened to them all on audio, and they each deserve a place on my Best of 2022 list, especially Fractured Sky, which I gave a rare 5+++ stars to.

They also have the most beautiful covers!

The first two audiobooks in this unrelated series The first two audiobooks in this unrelated series were on my Best of 2021 List, and Seatmate by @carabastone has continued the streak for my Best of 2022 list. The full cast narration and the production of this “audioplay” is what made Seatmate a 5-star read for me. I really felt like I was eavesdropping on a real conversation. This was a quick and fun listening experience, and though it’s nothing epic, it stood out to me in 22.

I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s rare to find books about older couples and I so appreciate when an author writes a sexy one. I had a couple of issues with it, and I really struggled with the heroine’s name, James. Every time I read her name (and the female MC for the next book is Billy) my brain had to catch up for a second that it was a girl.

Top Pick of 2022: @kristenashleybooks has been on Top Pick of 2022: @kristenashleybooks has been on all 11 lists (since 2012), and for good reason!
Taking the Leap by Kristen Ashley is my favorite book she has written in a while. It very much focuses on Alex and Rix and it didn’t feel like I had to remember a ton of other characters. I felt their chemistry and how perfect they are for each other. 
I love how Kristen handled a disabled hero. This is one you don’t want to miss! Have you read it yet?

Another Top Pick of 2022! The Love Hypothesis by @ Another Top Pick of 2022! The Love Hypothesis by @alihazelwood lived up to all the hype. I absolutely loved the smart, slow-burn romance that subtly addressed a lot of issues without ever banging you over the head with them. This is one of those books you might be able to recommend to even the non-romance reader even though it’s very much a romance. It just has that “something special”.

I am usually very stingy with my five star reads, I am usually very stingy with my five star reads, but A Long Time Coming by @meghanquinnbooks had everything I ever want in a book. Lia and Breaker’s nerdy friendship morphed into such a great romance, but it took its time, and I loved that; I thought the pace was just perfect. I listened to A Long Time Coming with a HUGE smile on my face the whole time. If I could hug this audiobook I would!

The duet narration from @mallonerin and @j.f.harding made it even better.

The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor is an The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor is another of my top reads for 2022. 

I read the first book of the Night Huntress Series, Halfway to the Grave in 2009, and I can honestly say it’s still in my top 3 series ever, so when I saw she was writing the first book again from the male POV this time, I was a little nervous but also excited. Thankfully I had nothing to be nervous about! I absolutely LOVED it and I am so glad to hear she is continuing to do Bone’s POV for the 2nd book as well!

Another 2022 Top Favorite is Carrie Soto is Back b Another 2022 Top Favorite is Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid.  I am still blown away by the fact that this non-tennis fan loved this all-tennis book so much. I loved that Carrie Soto is Back tackled so many issues women in sports face, especially women of color. This powerful story really illustrated the costs of greatness, and the sacrifices one needs to make in order to make it to the top. The narration made it even better, and the tennis had me on the edge of my seat! (I don’t even like tennis!)
