I have a history of picking the wrong guy. Gay? Player? Momma’s boy? Check, check and check.


Now I can’t stop fantasizing about one of the customers at the coffee shop I work at between classes. It’s just a harmless crush, right? It’s not like I ever see this guy outside of the coffee shop. It’s not like I’m going to see him while attempting to get birth control at the student clinic. While wearing a paper gown. While sitting on an exam table. Because he’s the doctor. Shoot. Me.

But what if, for once, the man I’ve had the dirtiest, most scandalous fantasies about turned out to be everything but wrong?

 

The blurb of this one grabbed me and the book did not disappoint! I often think funny is harder than emotional and Ms. Aston delivers funny in spades!

OMG 5% in and I am already laughing #mustclick. This was my first post on Goodreads as I made my way through Wrong the debut novel by Jana Aston.

It was so wonderful to read a fresh new voice. Wrong keep me engaged and posting as I read; yes I know I corrupted many to one-click the weekend I spent with Dr. Miller.

I loved this book, it pulled me from a book slump with its humor, engaging story and swoon worthy (yes I said it) male lead in Dr. Luke Miller.

It’s awesome when a book has elements that you don’t usually enjoy in a story, but the author somehow manages to make you love it! For me that was the case with Wrong.

Ms. Aston did a masterful job taking taboo elements and turning them into well written memorable and glued to your kindle kind of scenes.

Wrong is Sophie Tisdale’s story and although young and yes a virgin (which yes I normally hate), Sophie is mature and is not surrounded by drama. She is just a young woman working to find her way in the world, a young woman raised by her grandparents after her mom passed away (her mom who had her young – FYI this element was masterfully woven into the story a few times). I also adore the use of another male in Sophie’s life (not telling who because it made for a great twist).

Sophie first noticed Luke serving him his morning coffee each week:

“I have a lot of fantasies about Luke based on nothing more than pouring him a cup of coffee every Tuesday and ringing him up.” 

The twist back to this in the epilogue is outstanding!

There were so great second characters in this book. Everly, Sophie’s best friend and Meredith, Luke’s sister along with his niece Bella all added to the story and made for some memorable scenes!

The epilogue to this book was amazing, not only did it make me smile from ear to ear but it put so much of the story into context in just a few pages.

The end of the book… after the story…the author’s heartfelt words made me fall in love just a tad more… oh and whoohoo to the fact that we are getting Everly’s story!

She will make you laugh with lines like this:

“It’s not stalking when we are meant to be together. I can’t help it that I imprinted on him when I was six.”

Though the author does warn at the end that Everly’s story is not what you think – so now I can’t wait even more!!!

    I am so excited you posted this review. Thank you for the great recommendation. I read the book yesterday in one sitting! Jana needs to continue the story with the minor characters. What is going to happen with the Professor? Why is Mike such a *bleep*?
