Olivia Tyler runs Tomorrow Foundation an agency that helps foster children find their forever homes. On the night of their charity action, she throws caution to the wind and hooks up with Max Right. Max is handsome and charismatic but when Olivia later discovers the man has a fiancé’ she wants nothing further to do with him. However, when Paige, a struggling teen needs help Olivia soon finds herself spending time with both. Max’s life is complicated and we soon discover more about Max and his so-called engagement.

Along Came Mr. Right was a cute read with a blend of romance, life and character growth. Max is a charming nerd but his pushover personality while filled with good intentions was not exactly something that made me swoon. Annalise Max’s so-called friend and fiancé was a horrible person. Her behavior and Max’s reactions only added to my annoyance. The romance had an instalove vibe, and with all the complications, I just did not feel the connections.

I struggled with parts of the plot like the disappearing paparazzi and tied up in a bow ending. Annalise is in the media spotlight, thus Max is, but the paparazzi disappeared when convenient for the plot, and left me wondering. And while I want an HEA for everyone, all the threads wrapped up a little too sweetly, I wanted a certain someone to suffer a little.

The audiobook of Along Came Mr. Right had some sweet moments and I had no trouble listening. Paige's character added warmth and was perhaps my favorite aspect of the story. Dara Rosenberg did a lovely job with the narration and I enjoyed the different voices she used for each character.
