Elle Casey

When a mysterious text message summons May Wexler to a biker bar in downtown New Orleans, she knows something is very wrong. Her sister has sent out an SOS, but when May gets there, she's nowhere to be found and May is the one in trouble--she's wearing pink espadrilles, she's got a Chihuahua in her purse, and she's in the middle of a shootout. After tall, muscular Ozzie comes to her rescue, May has no choice but to follow him to safety. At the headquarters of his private security firm, the Bourbon Street Boys, she finds a refuge for the night--and the offer of a job. But it's not long before a gun-toting stalker isn't the only complication in May's life: the more time she spends with Ozzie, the less she can deny that they've got some serious chemistry. A wrong number got her into this mess...Will it also get her the right guy?

Wrong Number, Right Guy

Photographer May Wexler gets a text from her sister saying that she needs an emergency pick up.  May is surprised that her sister is at a biker bar, but when she's grabbed by a big bearded bear of a man and pulled outside as shots are fired, she starts to think that the text she received may not have been from her sister at all. Ozzie doesn't know what this innocent looking woman with a small dog sticking out of her purse is doing in the middle of his undercover operation, but now that his cover is blown, she is going to have to stay with him until she is safe.

Wrong Number, Right Guy starts out with a bunch of coincidences that creates the meet cute at the beginning of the book.  The wacky, over-the-top nature of this story makes it impossible to take what is going on seriously.  Unfortunately once the mystery and romance start to take shape, much of the fun in the story is left behind, making the first have of the novel much better than the last half.  The characters are likable, but only superficially developed, and May's internal monologue can either be taken as annoying or entertaining.  Overall, Wrong Number, Right Guy is an amusing, fast paced romantic suspense that is engaging enough to make it worth the read.

3.5 fun, quick-read stars. The female MC is a bit of a crazy roller coaster (all on her own) and the plot peaks and resolves very quickly at the end, but he BSB are a fun group and I'm looking forward to future installments

Do you have any idea how long it’s been since I read a book that actually made me laugh out loud? Me neither, but I know it’s been a looooong time.

 This is a book that never in a million years would’ve popped up on my radar without the prodding of my mom. She found this book will prowling the Kindle Unlimited store, and called me in near tears, she was laughing so hard. She begged me to read it. I decided to at least read the first chapter, because I could use a laugh. One nearly sleepless night later, I finished the book. It was absolutely fantastic.

I’m not a big romance reader, unless the author is Nora Roberts. She’s my comfort read, and I read her stuff anytime I feel sad or sick, and anytime she publishes something new. Every once in a while I get in the mood for something sweet and uplifting, so I’ll read some kind of Christian romance, but just regular romance not written by Nora is not something I usually pick up. I will now have to make an exception for Elle Casey, because this woman is seriously funny.

This was the story of an average, single, twenty-something woman. She’s a wedding photographer who lives alone with her little half-Chihuahua, Felix. When she gets a text from an unknown number that she assumes belongs to her sister, her life spirals out of control quickly. May, our protagonist, makes the most of her situation and struggles to adapt and become one of the Bourbon Street Boys, an elite security company, while trying not to fall for Ozzie, her super-hot new boss. Hilarity ensues.

I’m not the biggest fan of first-person narration, but nothing else would’ve worked here. You need to be inside May’s head, because her thoughts are laugh-out-loud funny. The story would’ve have been nearly as charming if not told from her perspective. The other characters are interested and endearing, even when they’re being all prickly and hostile toward the new girl. The rest of the series follows the other members of this crew, and you can bet your britches that I’ll be binge-reading the rest. And I never binge read. But I’m making an exception here.

Was there sex, you might be asking as you gaze at the cover. You betcha, there was. But it wasn’t slathered all through the book. And the buildup we witness within the main character was seriously the best part. She’s so real and relatable, and I’m pretty sure every woman fighting against their attraction to a person has shared some of her feelings. But when the sex does occur, it’s hot. Hilariously hot. Seriously, even the sex scenes were filled with humor. What’s not to love about that?

As I said, I would’ve never picked up this book on my own. I would’ve looked at the cover and glanced right over it, looking for the next philosophical fantasy to delve into. And I would’ve been missing out. Every diet needs variety, and it turns out that my literary diet was severely lacking in humor. So, thanks Mama, for expanding my literary horizons, even if that expansion is a little less than literary. Five stars well earned, Elle Casey. Keep ‘em coming.

Love story between two adults. 

Story line is not draggy. Timeline of the story looks alright to me, not in a rush. 
I love Ozzie being the protector kind, and May does not belongs to the weak kind of girls who needs protection but somehow, she fall Ozzie. It's kind of sweet.
If there is POV of Ozzie, would be better.
