SNYOPSIS:
The first time I met Evie Harper, she threw a cream pie at my face. I actually hadn’t met her, just saw her. It was more like she hated everything I stood for and showed me her opinion with an airborne cream pie. Yes, she smacked me front and center on my face. The second time I saw Evie, I didn’t realize she was the cream-pie-throwing bandit, and she took my breath away in a flowing red gown at a gala.
Of course I couldn’t resist her looks, so I asked her to dance. She called me a schmuck and stalked off.
My own Cinderella ran away from me. I shouldn’t have chased her down. We were all wrong for each other. But her fire red hair and feisty personality reeled me in, and I was hooked. Chicago’s most renowned playboy was finally falling head over loafers. At least it felt that way because she was like no other woman I’d met before . . . Evie was special . . .
Problem was I had trust issues when it came to women. Freud would’ve probably said it was my mother’s doing. Somehow Evie made me believe in her . . . trust her . . .
Big damn mistake!
One I hope I won’t live to regret . . .
But then again how could someone so wrong for me turn out to be so damn perfect?
EXCERPT:
“What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?” he asks and presses his nose to mine briefly causing my breath to hitch before he pulls away.
“Your suit reminds me that you are the governor,” I say and I know it sounds weird, but somehow in my head on the last few dates, I tried to convince myself that he was just a regular guy.
He chuckles, and again I wish I knew the sound of his laughter. “I’m still the same guy whether I’m in a suit and tie or a pair of jeans,” he replies. I want to tell him that he looks hot as sin in his suit but something tells me that his ego is inflated enough.
“Isn’t the governor’s mansion in Springfield? Why are you always in Chicago?” I ask, knowing this because I also teach history and the governor’s mansion has been in use since 1855.
“Yes, the governor’s mansion is in Springfield, and I do occupy it in a way, but I hate it there. It’s big and empty. I much prefer my apartment here in the city. Truth is since I met you I’ve been spending more time in Chicago than I have in Springfield,” he says, and his blue eyes blaze as he makes the admission. My chest turns warm and saliva pools in the back of my throat. Fuck! I am so turned on by him.
“Oh,” is the only word I can formulate right now.
He walks toward me at such a slow pace, and I feel like someone has pressed a slow-motion button. I take a large gulp as he closes the distance between us. He pushes a stray strand of hair off my face. “I’ve been thinking about kissing the hell out of you all day,” he says. My knees buckle, at least they feel like they do because the next thing I know his lips are on mine, hot and wanting. He kisses softly at first before his tongue begs entrance into my mouth. His taste is as intoxicating as I remembered. Our lips meshed together in a way that tells me, we fit. This is more than perfect. This kiss is everything.
MARY’S 5 STAR REVIEW
Finding Mr. All Wrong was delightfully sweet and sexy. Filled with tons of angst and obstacles that it will keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s the unlikely romance of Colton “Colt” Mathis and Evie Harper. Complete strangers yet undeniably attracted to each other. While filled with many laughs it will also touch your heart.
Colton Mathis is a man with his future laid out in front of him. An attorney by profession he has quickly risen through the political system to the level of Governor of Illinois. While his dad is strong arming him to advance this position to run for President, he has an internal struggle going on inside as he has no desire to do so. Raised by a single dad, Colton feels as though his dad has made sacrifices through the years and in essences acquiesces by following his dad’s plans for him.
Evie is a teacher. She is a feisty, fierce, passionate, red haired beauty. A free spirit of sorts. When she accompanies her best friend, Jakes, to a ceremonial ribbon cutting for a future business upon the for the destruction of a historical building. It’s here that Evie makes her mark on the Governor by throwing a cream pie in his face, then running off to evade arrest.
It’s not until seeing Evie at a society event that their paths cross again. It was truly comical the way that Evie would brush Colton off, wanting nothing to do with him. Of course, this was new to Colton because he wasn’t use to women turning him down. His determination was incorrigible…. just sayin that he was in it to win it!!
Evie is such a loveable character and even with challenges of her own she wouldn’t let Colton BS her about them. I loved how she called things as she saw them. Yet there was an undeniable molten hot chemistry between these two. One that once the fuse was lite the more complicated their life became. The differences in not only their lifestyles but also how would Evie adjust to living her life in public after living such a private one. Now add to that secrets from both their paths, with a dash of scandal and now they have a colossal mess on their hands. With all their trust issues how will they deal with this?
Would these two be able to sift through all the muck and find happiness together?
While I highly recommend this book to read, I am also smitten with RC Stephens writing.
This will definitely not be the last book from her I read!!
