“Thank you,” she whispered.

“For what?” He was shocked to hear his breathing sounded so labored.

“For giving me the afternoon off. For making that cake. For helping with Mya when I botched everything. It’s a lot easier with you here.” She blushed. “A couple days ago, I would have never thought I’d say that.”

He kissed the tip of her nose. “Yeah, you didn’t seem too thrilled to see me.”

“No, I was…okay.” She laughed. “I wasn’t. To be honest, I was still thinking about my brother’s wedding. I’d never understood why you’d left me so abruptly back then.”

Warning bells sounded in the back of his mind at the mention of her brother. His best friend. It felt like a broken record was playing on repeat in his brain. And that record was titled Off-Limits, Off-Limits, Off-Limits.

Carly must have picked up on his thoughts. She took a small step back. “I know, you don’t want to kiss me. You don’t see me that way.”

He took her in from her swollen lips to the sexy business suit she still wore, to all of that amazing hair. Her eyes were practically twinkling, lighting up her fair, flawless skin. Did she have any idea how gorgeous she was? How appealing she was?

He shook his head. “That’s the problem, Carly,” he began, his voice coming out in gruff spurts. “I do see you like that. I’ve been fighting it since I got here.” He ran a hand through his short hair. “Hell, probably since Chris and Gretchen said I do.”

Her mouth fell open.

“I tell myself over and over that it’s wrong to think about you the way I do.”

A small smile played over her lips. “How do you think about me?”
He swallowed hard. “In a way that would definitely make your brother sucker-punch me in the face.”

REVIEW

I’m always happy to read a new Entangled Love Struck Romance, because in general they’re really good and their plots are appeal enough, anyways, this time we have Kerri Carpenter, she’s not new in this book-world but this is my first time reading one of her books; and for you to know —Tempting Mr. Wrong is the second book in the Wrong Man series, and it’s a standalone so there’s no need to read the first one.

Kerri tells us about Lance and Carly’s lives… something I liked was the fact that this two characters are pretty familiar with each other —and this not due a one-night-stand— Lance is or was her brother’s best friend, so you know, when there’s a brother in the middle, those best friends always try to behave well with their best friends’ little sisters, sometimes it ends in a bad way but others… Carly’s brother died and now she, as his only family, has the responsibility of raise his little daughter. She’s totally fine with it because she loves her niece, but then Lance shows up. After finding out —in a letter— that his best friend asked him to take care of his daughter —and of his sister— if something would have ever happened to him, he knows he can’t let his best friend down, so before starting his “new life”, he decides to visit his goddaughter… and her God Mother. But temptations are everywhere and if you already have a story, trying to fight it back maybe is more difficult to do twice. I liked their relationship and how they were when Mya’s was around.

Tempting Mr. Wrong is a sweet, sexy, light romance. It has the exact mix to make you enjoy your reading. I completely recommend it if you enjoy second chance romances or just if you enjoy a good story. And plus, Kerri’s writing was incredible, she knows how to do it.
