Wrong Place, Right Time (The Bourbon Street Boys, #2)

by Elle Casey

Jenny’s single-parent life revolves around her kids and her job, which means that hours of Animal Planet and strings of computer code are about all she has time for. Not that Jenny’s looking for adventure or romance—she’s the type of woman who believes in playing it safe.

When Jenny is called upon to do some consulting for the Bourbon Street Boys—a New Orleans private security firm—she knows she should stay away. They conduct surveillance on known criminals and put themselves in harm’s way pretty much every day, so No is the obvious answer…Problem is, there’s a guy on the team with a body to die for and a dimple that just won’t quit luring Jenny in, tempting her to throw all caution to the wind.

Will Jenny take the risk or will she do what she’s always done—play it safe and wait for the right time?

Probably the most relatable characters I have ever read. Really enjoyable! Full review will be on The Book Disciple

I was pretty interested in this one, even though I did not read the first book. I liked that the heroine is a single mom in her 30s struggling with balancing her work life, home life, and social life (or lack thereof). Being a single mom, I was able to relate to Jenny's concerns and fears, and it's always nice to have that connection when reading.

I loved that this was a smart and savvy woman, who was just sort of stuck. A series of unfortunate events actually helps her get unstuck with respect to her social life, her love life, and her career. Jenny takes the opportunity, with a little nudge from her sister and Dev, to crawl out of her post-divorce cocoon and start living the life she deserves.

The Bourbon Street family was also a great part of the book. Casey does a good job of giving us a little look into each of their lives, and makes me eager to get to know them better. I would have loved to have had a little more interaction between the other members of the team, to get a better feel for their chemistry, but maybe that will come in the next book.

All that said, the star of this book (for me at least) was Dev. I loved everything about him, and just wanted more and more of him in the book (no offense Jenny). He was literally a gentle giant with A LOT on his plate, but still able to see the good in things.

Overall: enjoyable and entertaining read. This story had a nice combination of humor, family hijinks, drama, action, but I wish there had been more of the romance. I really loved Dev and wanted more of him and Jenny together, because those were my favorite parts.
