Drunk dialing at it’s finest… All it took was a couple bottles of champagne… And a fully charged cellphone,For me to go from widow to call girl.Talking to a stranger in the middle of the night was the push I needed.To feel something again. Something safe. It’s not like I will ever run into him. We don’t even know each other… yet. Aaron Skye returns my call the next day, Sending my … returns my call the next day,
Sending my well-ordered world for a spin.

And his life is anything but normal.
Can I put the phone down and step into his world long enough to realize,

A wrong number, could be my Mr. Right.

This one was a hard book to read, not because of the writing but because of the themes presented in the book. Vivian is the owner of Sixes, the first responder bar that’s been featured in all the other books.
We’ve gotten to know Vivian through the other Iron Orchids books (if you haven’t read them, go do that now!) so I knew a bit about her. That prologue was heartbreaking and brought back memories of my own similar experiences.
Not gonna lie, I got a good chuckle out of Danielle’s choice to use Aaron as the lead male’s name. Every time I see that name it makes me think of Key & Peele’s skit “Substitute Teacher Mr. Garvy”, personally it added some levity to the book. I really appreciated Aaron’s stance on the media and his zero tolerance for their invasion of privacy.
I do wish there was a bit more relationship development between Vivan and Aaron. They got to know each other over text, but they never really went below the surface and got to know one another.
PS. Danielle, that balloon Haley Loles has got to go.
Awesome! Amazing! My new favorite book!! After seeing other books and knowing that she had a difficult past I was excited to finally get her book. This book is a testament to how talented a writer Danielle Norman truly is. Vivans book drew me and and made me feel every emotion that she was feeling. With the other Iron Orchids around there are tons of laughs especially from Stella. Vivian is surprised when she finds out she accidentally drunk called Aaron who has her sister in laws old number. He called her back the next day and from there a friendship began. Aaron may be a bit younger but we see how mature and strong in character he really is when he has to deal with a family emergency that completely changes his life. He ends up being exactly what Vivian needs in her life. I can’t say enough how great this book truly is.
The aftermath of being a bridesmaid has Vivian taking some champagne and going up to her hotel room when it’s all over. When she decides to make a call to her sister-in-law, she ends up calling the wrong person. Calling a perfect stranger while drunk as a skunk, that’s something that Vivian can now cross off her bucket list. What does surprise her is the fact that the very next day, she gets a text from Aaron, the receiver of the midnight call. The two end up texting back and forth and striking up a friendship. When they finally get to the point where they can take their relationship a bit further, will Vivian be ready to enter Aaron’s world? Or will the fear of moving forward keep Vivian in place?
YAY, we finally get Vivian’s story; we have watched her in the background since the beginning and now she finally gets to come to the forefront and what a story we get! I was not even expecting the twists and turns that this story took, jumping right from the start this pulled me in and turned into an amazing read! I give this 5 stars.
Vivian, a member of Iron Orchids, owner of Sixes,and a 32 year old widow of four years was a bridesmaid for another sorority sister. She had enough of antics at the reception, grab two bottles of champagne and went to her hotel room. She decided to call Erin, her sister-in-law and late husbands twin. Aaron answered the phone and they had a drunk, great midnight call. He did call the next day to find out if she was okay, etc. They talked or text for the next number of days until he came home to Orlando.
Aaron is 24 years old and the star guard of the Orlando Lighting. He didn’t tell Vivian this until he was home. Getting to know each other progressed despite her iron orchids interference and meddling help. Then life takes a surprise take and Aaron leaves in the middle of a game, oonly text her once and disappears for 13 days.
This is a fast moving, exciting, entertaining, page turner, loving story. It is filled with love. This is another awesome Iron Orchids filled book by Danielle Norman. Don’t miss reading this novel. It’s a true tribute to Vivian.
Oh my heart . These stories just keep getting better and better and while we have the usual Danielle Norman snark, this story will take you from heartbreak to joy.
This is a second chance story for both Vivian and Aaron, that all started with a late night, wrong number phone call. This story has it’s own heart and sucked me in. I am just sitting her with a smile on my face from the perfect ending.
I loved this story. As usual you have drama, but with Stella and the others, it had me laughing out loud. Vivian has been trying to live her life after her husband Eric (motorcycle cop) was killed. After she attends a wedding she leaves to go to her hotel room with 2 bottles of champagne. Needless to say she gets drunk and calls her sister-in-law (Eric’s twin sister), but it’s her old number and this guy answers. Aaron is a NBA player and he used to play for Kentucky (yeah, love my wildcats). Anyway they form a friendship. But then something happens with Aaron during a basketball game and has to leave. This is a happily ever after with no cliff hangers.
