What can I say about Four Letter Word? It was clever (love the concept of the title) a bit emotional and alotta steamy! It’s certainly J. Daniel’s HOTTEST book to date. Holy smokes. She really brought the heat with this book.
Sydney is starting a new chapter in her life. That chapter includes moving in with her best friend, Tori. New town, new job, new start. Both Syd and Tori have been burned by a men. Sydney does something out of character for her and makes a rash phone call. I ...more

Initially I wasn't going to rate it. But f it, why the hell not?
I'm super bummed out but I had to DNF this at 70% It was just ok for me.
Even York couldn't save this one. I REALLY loved the first 50% of the book but then I sort of just lost interest at 60% mark.
This is definitely my personal thing here so I'm certainly not discouraging anyone from reading the book. I just need the book to keep my attention and for some reason it didn't happen with this one. :(

This is my first read by this author and I’m seriously smitten with all the characters. The heroine, Sydney Whittaker’s husband has just bailed on their marriage and so she heads to stay with her best friend, Tori to pick up the pieces. Sadly, Tori is also handling the end of her relationship... these poor girls. When Sydney decides to be wild and tell off Tori’s ex things get very interesting. One wrong number and all of sudden it’s game on…

“I needed you, but I didn’t know I needed you until you reached out to me.”
I have book friends who have been telling me to read this author FOREVER. So guess who is guilty of not reading J Daniels until now?
That's right. ME. Don't worry I will be reading more by her.
BUT, I am really glad this was my first book by J Daniels because I absolutely loved it. It came at a perfect reading time when I had been in a slump and then this wonderful pink pretty came into my life!

Title: Four Letter Word
Series: Dirty Deeds #1
Author: J. Daniels
Release date: October 4, 2016
Cliffhanger: No
HEA(view spoiler)
J. Daniels knows how to write steamy. Sexy. Tantalizing. I'm talking explosively hot. But the best part about her books? Where a lot of erotic books will just end there, hers stand solid with actual substance to the characters and storylines. They are the full package: Humor, heat, with a side of sweet. From the very first time I read one of her books, ...more
➳Even after reading it for the second time, it never sees to amaze me how much I love J's writing in every aspect...

I got an advance reader's copy of Four Letter Word by J. Daniels two days ago, and honestly I screeched when I saw that NetGallery wanted an honest review.

Overall Opinion: I really was liking this for the first part of the book, as I do tend to enjoy relationships that develop over something like texting/phone calls/letters/emails. Once they physically met we do get the hot sexy times, but we also go the lovey-dovey stuff that just isn't my cuppa. I like to feel the connections between the characters, and I felt like I was just constantly told about it instead through long(ish) inner monologues and cheesy dialogue.

Four Letter Word is everything I love about J. Daniels and yet it’s like none of her other books. This book is legit sexy sin and highly entertaining, like all of Daniel’s books, but the writing is so different. Nonetheless, I was easily pulled into the story and I am already ready for more in this series!
The story is told from Sydney and Brian’s point-of-views. We first meet Sydney when her husband decides he no longer wants to be married and informs her that he wants a divorce. I don’t think ...more

Well, I finally finished this audiobook!
It's taken me so long because I only listened to it during long road trips, which are few and far between for me.
I have to say, I really am not a fan of audiobooks.
I find I enjoy reading far more than I do listening to stories.
My imagination makes it so much more enjoyable.
The narrators were ok but there were times their voices annoyed me.

I loved Brian and Sydney so much. They were everything together. Everything. Both of them are broken in a way. Both of them need to heal and give each other that.
I loved their banter and Good Lord were they hot together. The writing itself has a bit of a Kristen-Ashley-esque feel but without copying it J. Daniels makes it her own. Loved it, so happy I get to read Hit The Spot soon!

FOUR LETTER WORD … My teen asked me what I was reading and when I said, Four Letter Word he said, “You know what that means… it’s what they use for the F word.” Of course, I knew that which made me curious why this book was named that. But then again there are LOTS of words that are 4 letter words.
To name a few off of the top of my head:
LOVE
FAME
FEAR
DIET

This was such an anticipated release for me, I have been a fan of J Daniels for a long time. Unfortunately, this book was so slow for me, and I felt zero build up or connection between the two main characters. It was almost like insta-love, but with no basis or reason for their feelings. The two side characters, however, were a different story - I was so much more invested in them as a couple.
I can't put my finger on what was stopping me from enjoying this story, but it just fell flat for me and ...more

I originally dnfed this, but since I received an arc for book 2 I thought it was only fair that I finish the other half of the story. It was a cute read, but still a little too slow. But it made me want to read about Jamie and Tori even more cause there was a lot of setting up for the other characters books.

Four Letter Word is the perfect blend of heat, emotion and humor. J.
