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

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.
