Wrong Bed, Right Guy (Come Undone, #1)

by Katee Robert

Prim and proper art gallery coordinator Elle Walser is no good at seducing men. Heck, she's been throwing hints at her boss for months, but he's completely clueless. Desperate to escape her mother's matchmaking efforts, she comes up with a plan--buy some lingerie and climb into her boss's bed. The plan goes brilliantly...until she accidentally seduces a sexy stranger instead. Bad boy nightclub mogul Gabe Schultz just had the best almost-sex of his life. Too bad the smoking hot blonde thought he was his brother and bolted before he could finish what they started. Though her holier-than-thou attitude puts a serious damper his mood, Gabe's never been one to give up on something he wants. And he wants Elle. But does a man who lives on the dark side really have a chance with a proper lady?

Wrong Bed, Right Guy had me hooked from the first chapter! Elle has been crushing on her boss/friend for awhile now without any response from him, and has finally decided to take matters into her own hands. She is set on seducing Nathan. Dressed in a slinky nightie, she sneaks into his room and crawls right into his bed. Things are really heating up, but once Elle hears his voice, she realizes the tattooed man she's on top of is not Nathan! Elle flees the room, and the mystery man goes to wake up Nathan. Gabe wants to know who that woman who just woke him up was, and is determined to see her again. Too bad he's exactly the type of guy she wants but is trying to avoid, and she's too different from him to make it work, right? Well, opposites do attract.

I loved how Wrong Bed, Right Guy was full of humor and steam! Elle seems to have the worst luck starting with her botched seduction. After that, Gabe talks her into a lunch date where he takes her to a filthy dive bar. Then to make up for their less than stellar meal, he buys her a bouquet of flowers which happen to contain sage, which Elle is highly allergic to! Gabe does the only thing he can think of, whisks her to the nearest store to stock up on Benadryl, chicken noodle soup, chocolates, and bubble bath! The poor guy has no clue what he's doing, but it's sweet and Elle realizes that she may have misjudged him. From there, Elle's luck seems to have turned around.

I did have conflicting feelings on Elle. She's the typical nice, girl next door who's been scorned by a bad boy before. She's also quick to assume the worst in Gabe because of her past. I get that what happened to her has left a lasting mark, but she should know that she can't lump all men with tattoos together. I was annoyed with her at times, but she did realize that she's being unfair after getting to know him. I liked how she was more loose and fun when Gabe was around, but that's probably because he gave her no choice! That man has a way with words...and his hands...and his mouth...and his...

In the end, I really enjoyed Wrong Bed, Right Guy. I thought the opposites attract trope worked really well, without heading into cheesy territory. Gabe didn't turn into some prim and proper man to impress her parents, and Elle didn't get covered in ink and dye her hair. The epilogue was kind of long, but I liked how Elle finally stood up to her mother.

Ok. I LOVED Gabe. For all but a 1/3 of this book Elle was a shrew. Get over yourself woman! Geez.

Elle Walser thinks she has bad choice in men. Hurt, badly, by the boy she gave her virginity to, she has agreed to let her mother find her the perfect significant other. The problem is, none of the men spark one bit of attraction in her. Deciding she needs to grab the bull by the horns, she decides to seduce her boss, Nathan. It's not until her seduction, which is going really well, that she realizes the man who gave her the best orgasm of her life is not Nathan.

Gabe Schultz doesn't know what to think when the stranger climbed into his bed, but the moment she touched him he felt the rightness between them. Unfortunately, she runs off before t

Elle was one of the people who quickly judges a book by the cover. She sees Gabe covered in tattoos and immediately thinks he's a bad boy and is no good for her. But Gabe is none of those things. He is a big, strong man with a gooey soft center. While Elle treats Gabe like crap, he keeps trying to prove to her that they are good together. There is something to be said about a man who is persistent in proving, not matter how the woman acts, that they belong together.

The problem with Elle and Gabe is they let too many people provide them with the idea about what's good for them. Elle thinks Gabe is the last person she should be with because he's a "bad boy". Gabe thinks Elle's a lady and too good for him. Once they get past those stereotypical labels and listen to their hearts, they absolutely know they are it for each other.

This was a fun read, especially with Elle doing her damnedest to stay away from Gabe. There were moments were you would be cringing, laughing, sighing or reaching for a kleenex. One of my favorite Entangled releases this year.
