I'm into you, okay? YOU. Only you. I'm all up to my ears with the idea of you.
This is a story that I fell instantly for. Now I bought this book months ago and I thank Quinn @ Quinn's Book Nook for getting this book. But then this week I realized I really wanted to read this. Especially with the third book just becoming released, I wanted to see what I thought of this author before I read her. And boy was I blown away. Before I realized it the book was over, I just was so consumed by this story I didn't even realize how fast I was turning the pages. This was a sweet and passionate love story that swept me away into the heart of it.

The emotions that this book conveys was so real and what a fantastic story teller this author is. She pulls the reader right into it, and you get locked away into the plot with the emotions vivid and the story that comes alive. This is a romance that is developed with two people who may seem wrong at first but end up being perfectly right. It's about taking that leap of faith and hitting the treasure chest. I love the development of the plot and seeing what holds these two together when conflict erupts. LOVED EVERY MOMENT!!
 
  
    The Cover
  
 
What a gorgeous cover....one of my favorites of the year. Its sweet and romantic and you can get lost in it. Love the kiss and the pose here, as if these two can't get enough of each other.

This review was originally posted on Latte Nights ReviewsEver since I read Last First Kiss, I needed more Archer Kane in my life. When I read about him and later on Edie, I wanted those two to get together ASAP. I had no idea they had met quite that way so it was nice to have the author write that story, even before Last First Kiss happened. They had chemistry right from the start and I was so rooting for them! 

Edie overheard her fiance talking shit behind her back to someone else. Apparently, he was only interested in the money. When she meets Archer, she's captivated by him but brushes it off. Long story short, they end up on their way to Brightwater, where Edie is looking to stay and make it her new home. Reading about these two going back and forth was interesting and hot at the same time. You could cut the sexual tension with a knife! They obviously wanted each other but Edie was scared to take the plunge, which lead Archer a bit heartbroken. I mean, the only woman he has his eyes on and she rejects him. But he really wants Edie and he decides to give her all the time she needs to find herself and then make the decision. Edie has heard the rumors of Archer being the man-whore of the town and it bothers her at first but then, she decides to forget it. The past is the past and both are ready to start anew.

Archer grew a lot in this book. I found him to be a bit immature in the first book and not quite there. But in his own story, he grows out of it and tries to be more of a gentleman and even takes over a big responsibility given to him by Grandma Kane. Both her and Edie kept Archer on his toes for the better. He is so charmingly hot! His story as well as Edie's were a great addition to this series.

This book was very flirty, with witty banter and a cute and hot romance. This review was originally posted on Latte Nights Reviews

I more or less fell in love with the fictional setting of Brightwater – and its residents – after reading about one chapter of Last First Kiss. I love a good small town romance and Lia gives us that and more with this series. 

So, if you've read any of my reviews, you know (especially lately) I have a love/hate relationship with manwhores of any status. I mean, as long as they're not sleeping around while they're *WITH* someone, I can usually handle it. But, sometimes I get inside my head too much and have a tough time if they've done something off-putting. I was a little nervous about Archer's book because of his well-deserved reputation. They say a leopard doesn't change its spots, but can Archer change for a good woman? (Spoiler alert: YES. And it's wonderful.) Before I'd even reached the end of the book, I was singing his Archer's praises and putting him on my swooniest of the book boys list. 

So, while it took a little while for Archer to prove himself and grow on me, I pretty much adored Edie from the very start. Or, I guess I should say she first got my sympathy and I couldn't wait to see her come into her own. And boy, does she ever. I loved how much this lady grew throughout the course of the book. She started off a little too doormat-esque and lacked self-confidence. Not long after she got to Brightwater, however, she started to become more assertive and more comfortable in her own skin. I loved watching her transformation. 

Right Wrong Guy was a great addition to the Brightwater series. I enjoyed getting more from Annie and Sawyer – and crazy Grandma, of course. Can't forget about her! The romance was sweet, sexy and swoony and I really did come to love the characters. Now I'm anxious for Wilder's story in Best Worst Mistake! 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via Edelweiss, in exchange for an honest review.
