The Right Side of Mr Wrong

*I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

The Right Side of Mr Wrong is a fun contemporary romance about a convicted bachelor and a woman who just wants to move on with her life, and has no interest in finding a husband. Brando Marshall knows he can never have a stable relationship so, when he agrees to be on the television show his sister Bryony is producing, and sees himself involved in a television contest to find himself a wife, he's furious, but he is incapable to say no to his sister. And that's how Shea Summers walks into his property and his life...

Shea has absolutely no interest in finding a husband, and she never thought she would be picked, but she agreed to participate anyway, on the one hand to help Brando organize his property, since that is her job, and on the other hand, to get away from her own life...

As is usual in these stories, the attraction between them is immediate, but since neither is interested in a serious relationship, they decide to make the most of the time they have together, with no expectations or future plans. You can see where this is going, right? But first of all they must overcome the ghosts of the past that they both have and accept that their life can be a lot different from what they believed had to be.

I enjoyed this story and the author has a sense of humor that I really liked (Brando keeps calling Shea something that rhymes with her name and that is appropriate to the conversation they are having, like "Shea-rhymes-with-roll-in-the-hay" or "Shea-made-in-a-day" or"Shea-what-do-you-say") and I definitely want to read the sequel that is Briony's story.

I only have one small quibble to point out (and that I had the opportunity to mention to the author on a twitter Q&A): I wished the scene when Brando and Shea make love for the first time (they had had plenty of sex scenes before) had been described and not just mentioned.
