The Wrong Kind of Love (Boys of Jackson Harbor, #1)

by Lexi Ryan

From New York Times bestseller Lexi Ryan comes a sexy new standalone romance novel about a runaway bride, a single dad who’s sworn off love, and the kind of family secrets that can threaten to break even the deepest bonds.

You never forget your wedding day. Or the moment your twin sister pukes on your bouquet and confesses she’s pregnant . . . with your fiancé’s baby.

I wanted to get away, to hide until my heart mended. I found myself in a strange town with a mysterious stranger whose talented mouth and hands almost made me forget it was supposed to be my wedding night.

Afraid to go home to face my broken life, I pretend to be my twin so I can take her job in Jackson Harbor caring for a six-year-old girl. Imagine my surprise when I find out my new boss is my mysterious stranger—Dr. Ethan Jackson.

I never meant for Ethan to discover my secrets. I never meant for them to matter. But the longer I work with him and his sweet daughter, the harder I fall, and the clearer it becomes that I’m not the only one carrying a secret that could tear us apart.

Get ready to fall for the boys of Jackson Harbor in Lexi Ryan’s sexy contemporary romance series. These books can all be read as standalones, but you’ll enjoy reading them as a series!

Reviews

[Leigha]

A woman finds love when she least expects it in this adult contemporary romance.

I love so many elements of this story. A broken engagement! Twin swapping! Precocious children! A large, adorable family! Makes my General Hospital loving heart happy to see such a fiasco turn into something amazing and sweet. Ethan and Nic have loads of chemistry – I instantly felt their attraction to one another. The lie starting their relationship actually felt authentic. Usually I hate when lies start a relationship, but I could see why and how this lie was perpetuated throughout the story.

While I loved many of the romantic tropes, I did not like the pacing. Once again, people, a love story needs time to develop and breathe. If I remember correctly, Ethan and Nic are happy and in love in less than six weeks. SIX WEEKS! Their individual arcs are quickly handle once the lies are exposed. These two do not spend nearly enough time together for me to believe their love is real or authentic.

tl;dr It may have had many of my favorite tropes, but it did a poor job putting them together.
