The Wright One is the much highly anticipated conclusion to Sutton and David’s story, which picks up from where The Wright Love ended. The series highlights how secrets have an uncanny way of being revealed at the most inappropriate time. For David Calloway, the revelation of his secret came at a time when his fragile relationship with Sutton had blossomed. It is said trust once lost cannot be regained. Can David convince Sutton that he meant her no harm when he failed to disclose his secret? Will he be able to regain her trust?

This installment explores David’s past, providing insight into what shaped him into the person he is today. We learn the reason he felt he had to hide his past and to be honest I could not fault him for doing so. However, what I blamed him for was his failure to disclose the truth to Sutton after their relationship developed beyond mere friendship. I liked that he tried to make amends, and he owned up to his mistakes.

Coming to terms with his past was difficult, but he did and in the process healed the rift that materialised after the revelation of his secret. It also helped to heal his relationship with his family.

I could relate to Sutton’s feeling of betrayal at David’s actions and for a while, she doubted her decision to start another relationship. Then to add fuel to the fire, there were one or two persons who tried to make her feel guilty about her decision. What got to me was her willingness to allow these persons’ negativity to jeopardise her chance at happiness. I found her indecisiveness in this matter frustrating.

The Wright One is a well-written story that demonstrates the power of love. Love has the power to heal as David and Sutton would discover. I enjoyed following them on their journey of healing, forgiveness and acceptance.

Conclusion/Recommendation

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Inkslinger PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.With the way the previous book ended, I wondered if Sutton and David were going to be able to resolve their differences. 

With the revelation that David was the son of the people who tried to ruin the Wrights really did a number on Sutton.  But that was just the beginning of the issues Sutton had.  We discover quickly that Sutton still isn't over Maverick's death or even the death of her parents.  She had a lot to work through and unfortunately, David was the one that bore the brunt of Sutton's demons.

David's patience was almost another character in the book.  But it became very clear that David, at some point was going to need to start thinking about himself despite what his feelings were for Sutton.

While I enjoyed the conclusion to this story, I'm not sure the second book was needed.  It felt like Sutton dragged David along with her emotional breakdowns, rather than the two of them really resolving anything or moving forward until almost the very end.  

I've truly enjoyed reading the Wright family and I'm going to miss them.  K. A. Linde has given us some truly wonderful characters.

This duology was delicious torture for me. I always had a soft spot for Mav, and his death broke me a little, but I still wanted Sutton to find happiness. Her struggle was realistic, but sometimes made me nuts. The ups and downs made both me and David nuts, but I am glad he hung in there, and was able to give Sutton the time and space she needed to come to terms with her loss. The ending was so wonderfully happy and full of too many fantastic things, that my face almost split from the huge smile I was wearing.

I am happy that all the Wrights have found their HEA, but I will miss this family.

FIRST THOUGHTS

"I was a bit surprised to see that The Wright One was a short read. It was definitely a rough journey for David and Sutton to finally get their HEA. It was a bit of a struggle with Sutton for me, which pains me to say cause it seems like I'm judging a bit harshly."

I have a feeling that I'll have the unpopular opinion on this one. If you remember that major cliffhanger at the end of The Wright Love,  I was left wondering how this book was going to go. Once a major secret is revealed, Sutton makes it known that she can handle so much especially in her vulnerable state. And David just has to deal with the consequences of the truth he was keeping from not only Sutton, but the Wright family as well.

Before I dive into this review, I'm just going to state that I'll never understand what Sutton is going through with the tragic loss of her husband, I haven't known what it's like to truly grieve like she is. And with that, I'm going to say I have a feeling that I may be judging her a bit harshly especially with the way she has handled things in this book.

I struggled a lot with Sutton's character, she was definitely more reactive than taking the time to mull things over before saying or doing anything. I totally understand how it is to be in the moment and learning such a big truth and just flying off the handle. So I saw why she reacted the way she did. For the entirety of this book, I was very much Team David, despite his truth withholding, I don't think he was really given the chance to speak his side. It was very evident even in The Wright Love that it really troubled him to bring what happened in his past especially when it dealt with his family. Yes, he has secrets, but he hasn't told anyone, anything before.

And Sutton could never look at the bigger picture of why he didn't just come out and be honest about who he truly was. Not that lying is okay, but his reasons were coming from a very personal place where it was tough for him to talk about, period. I felt like she judged him too harshly and it didn't seem fair. To be honest, the entire time I don't think she was 100% ready to dive into a relationship. But David definitely helped her find a life with renewed happiness. If she was able to focus more on that, it would have been okay. That's the thing about a lying, there's always a reason why someone does it whether it be good or bad, there's always a reason.

Even when David was finally able to tell her the reasons why he did it, you totally understand him a bit more and come to love him just a wee bit more ... if you didn't already love him.

I couldn't handle the constant pushing away that Sutton did towards David, he was literally on his hands and knees showing her that he wants to be with her. He kept proving it to her time after time and still, she'd push him away. As harsh as it may sound, there were times when I thought "you deserve better". At what point do you decide to draw the line? When you feel like you're maxed out emotionally, when is enough, enough? Everyone has their limits and David definitely found his in this book. I admired that even though at that point when Sutton was his happiness; if he knew that he couldn't have her, he was willing enough to walk away and find his happiness with someone who will appreciate him entirely.

If anything, Sutton needed to have some deep meditation or something, to really think about what she truly wanted. She let people not pertaining to her and David's relationship influence her and create so much doubt not only for herself but as a mother. Sutton's an amazing mother and anyone who didn't think so, well I have several words I'd like to say about that ...

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this duet, I completely fell in love with David in this one. I felt like this duet could have been a full-length standalone novel since The Wright One was shorter than I expected it to be, but then again, I know nothing about editing. As painful as the process was during this conclusion for David and Sutton, I was happy to finally see them make their way towards a happy ever after.
