Jules stops us at the edge of their circle and takes advantage of my stunned state, lifting up my mask as she whisper, “Jean Claude’s roommate, West”
West.
Oh shit. Now, thanks to my recent deep drive into hot historical romance, I’ve got even higher expectations for the guy, with a name like West. I picture a duty-worn duke, thighs stretching his buckskin breeches as he walks broodingly across the windswept moors. Braced for ducal grandeur, I fight a swell of anxiety as Jules breaks into the trio, as West turns and faces me.
Two Wrongs Make a Right is a fun spicy rom-com and perfect for those who are looking to read something a bit different.
Jamie Westenberg and Bea Wilmot have nothing in common except a meet-disaster and the mutual understanding that they couldn’t be more wrong for each other. But when the people closest to them play Cupid and trick them into going on a date, Jamie and Bea realize they have something else in common after all—an undeniable need for revenge.
Soon their plan is in place: Fake date obnoxiously and convince the meddlers they’re madly in love. Then, break up spectacularly and dash everyone’s hopes, putting an end to the matchmaking madness once and for all.
To convince everyone that they’ve fallen for each other, Jamie and Bea will have to nail the performance of their lives. But as their final act nears and playing lovers becomes easier than not, they begin to wonder: What if Cupid’s arrow wasn’t so off the mark? And what if two wrongs do make a right?
I always love a rom-com that makes me laugh, swoon, and has a lot of depth, and this book checks off every one of those boxes. Two Wrongs Make A Right is perfect for those bookworms who loved The Kiss Quotient series and looking to read something with similar characters and spice.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. I adored Bea. She is fun, sweet, and hilarious. She has no filter and is a complete klutz. Her character makes this book stand out. I love her conversations about being neurodivergent and seeing how she lives and interacts with the world around her. West also really stands out in this book. His character has all those typical physical characteristics that male rom-com heroes have. But underneath the exterior is someone dealing with social anxiety and struggling to connect with people. Bea and West add that depth to this book. Their conservations around their mental health conditions are smart, well thought out, and heartwarming.
The story itself is entertaining. If you are a fan of fake dating, opposites attract, and enemies to lovers tropes, you will enjoy this book. I found the story dragged at some parts, and I got a bit tired of the fake-dating part about halfway through this book. But I’m not the biggest fan of fake dating tropes, so that could be why I felt it was getting repetitive in the middle of the story. Readers will love the diverse cast of characters in this book. They add so much richness to the story.
The romance between Bea and West is spicy! Their love story has more of an insta lust feel to it. Chloe does a great job at building that sexual tension between Bea and West. Whenever I thought they would surrender to their feelings and jump into the sack with each other, Chloe would throw in a distraction or interruption that would pull these two apart. I loved all those “will they, won’t they?” moments. As a couple, these two are believable. There is plenty of chemistry between them, and I loved how they got to know each before they became intimate.
Two Wrongs Make A Right is a spicy rom-com with characters you won’t forget.
Thank you, Berkley, for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
