Title: Let's Get Textual
Author: Teagan Hunter
Genre: Romantic Comedy
A wrong number is supposed to be just that—a wrong number.
Delete. Done.
Do not continue to text. Do not flirt.
A wrong number shouldn’t be the first person on your mind in the morning, or the last at night…and you’re definitely not supposed to talk them into buying a baby goat.
Because that would be weird.
When Zach Hastings and I get into a wrong-number mix-up, we don’t follow the rules. We keep texting and flirting, because he’s wicked funny and perfectly nerdy and a wonderful distraction.
I’m not looking for love, and Zach definitely had the wrong number.
But maybe…
Maybe he’s the right guy.
Delia: I fell asleep thinking of you.
Zach: Please tell me we’re about to sext.
Delia: The moment I woke up, I ran my hand down my chest between my bountiful breasts. I slowly dragged it across my flat stomach, goose bumps rising along my skin at the touch. It wasn’t until I was right at the opening of my white cotton panties that I decided I wasn’t going to touch myself because WE ARE NOT SEXTING, YOU PERVERT.
Zach: I hate you so much right now.
Zach: I HAD A SOLID BONER GOING
Delia: Did you really?
Zach: What do you expect? I’m a man, dammit! We like titties and goose bumps and white cotton panties and sex. YOU ARE EVIL.
Zach: Can we still sext later?
Delia: NO!
Delia: Maybe.
Delia: We’ll see.
Zach: Really?!
Delia: OMG NO!
Delia: ;-)
Zach: I am so confused, yet still slightly turned on.
Delia: Please stop telling me about your boner.
Zach: I will never not tell you about my boner. That’s not the kind of friendship I want.
Delia: You’re so weird.
Zach: And…
Delia: *rolls eyes* And I like it. I LIKE IT, OKAY?!
Zach: I know you do.
Delia: UGH!
Delia: FYI, I’m not sexting you. Ever.
Zach: But I’m REALLY cute…
Delia: Oh puh-lease. Every rando on the other side of the screen will say that shit. You need to prove it.
Zach: Geez, Delia, if you wanted a picture of me, all you had to do was ask.
Delia: I don’t want a picture because I’m not sexting you.
Zach: I’m sending you a picture anyway.
Zach: DOWNLOAD ATTACHMENT
I’m scared as hell to push the download button—I mean, it could be a dick pic or something. I don’t think Zach is a douchebag, but you never know.
Screw it.
I bite my lip as I watch the circle spin and the image comes through.
“Awww!”
Delia: YOU SENT ME A PICTURE OF A SMILING GOAT!
Delia: You’re officially my favorite person ever.
Zach: Told you I was cute. ;-)
Delia: How did you know they were my weakness?
Delia: Also, will you please buy me one?
Zach: 1. EVERYONE loves smiling baby goats. That’s just science. 2. No.
Delia: Rebuttal… 1. Excellent point. 2. I think you spelled yes wrong. Y-E-S.
Zach: N-O.
Delia: I knitted you a damn PENIS POTHOLDER. Least you could do to repay me for my kindness is to buy me a baby goat. Don’t be a jerk, Zach. No one likes those.
Zach: Speaking of those potholders…when am I getting those? We live close. We could always meet…
Delia: You think you’re so slick.
Zach: Aren’t I?
Delia: No.
Zach: Well?
Delia: I’ll consider it, but later. I still have to ensure you’re not a creeper.
Zach: You’ll knit a man potholders but won’t give them to him? Who’s the jerk now?
Delia: Buy me that baby goat and we have a deal.
Zach: You play a tough hand, Delia.
Delia: Question is, will you win this round, or will I?
By day I’m a freelance cover designer. By every other free moment, a writer. I’m a Missouri raised gal, but I currently live in North Carolina with my US Marine husband where I spend my days begging him for a cat. I survive off coffee, pizza, and sarcasm. When I’m not writing, you can find me binge-watching various TV shows, especially Supernatural and One Tree Hill. I like cold weather, buy more paperbacks than I’ll ever read, and I never say no to brownies.

Let's Get Textual by Teagan HunterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Delia and Caleb have come to the realization that their relationship as a couple is over. It's sad but also very encouraging that these two handle this like adults should. They realize it isn't working, address it and part as friends. Sure there is sadness but I was impressed.
As this relationship is ending Delia gets a text from a strange number. Thinking it's her brother she responds. It doesn't take long for the sender and Delia to realize there is a wrong number involved. They continue the exchanges of texts.
Delia has a personality that not many people would get. She's snarky which makes her texts hilarious. Zach has his own brand of snark which adds more humor. Seriously who gets a baby goat based on a text conversation....our man Zach.
Their friends, Zoe and Robbie encourage them, actually puts them on the spot about meeting in person. Zach has the best first date arranged for them. He just shows that he 'gets her' like no one else. You can actually feel the build up of sexual tension between these two and when they give in to it-it is explosive. (waving my hand as a fan hot).
Zoe adds in even more humor to this story. I was hoping that Robbie and herself would get together but then I thought that Zoe's not ready for the type of responsibility that Robbie has in his life.
Delia and Zach (super hot nerd guy) are too perfect for each other. He knows when to say or send the correct items that Delia needs. He seriously 'gets her'. That is just amazing all in itself. There aren't many people who have relationships like that.
When something private gets out in a big way Delia reacts while hurting blaming Zach. It doesn't take long for her to come to the realization that there is no way he's responsible but she doesn't know if she has caused damage that is beyond repair.
So, why not....let's get his attention by kidnapping his goat. Zach's response of putting a message in pepperonis on a pizza he has delivered is too perfect.
When I read the synopsis of this book I knew this was the book I have been looking for. I've been wanting to read a romance book with some humor. This book has plenty of humor.
This book kept me entertained and hooked from beginning to end. In fact, once I started this book I didn't put it down until the end. I was actually disappointed when it did end as I just want it to continue.
