Amanda Ashby’s Dating the Wrong Mr. Right is sister three, Pepper’s story. Pepper’s ex is a sleazy character that after breaking up with him (Yeah, Pepper) she returns home. Of course, he makes an appearance to which leads her into the arms of Ben Cooper. Boy does he look good even with a fractured past. The Wishing Bridge Farm wedding planning business is still the background story but the focus of Dating the Wrong Mr. Right is the tense relationship between Pepper and Coop. How to get past the past to have bright loving future. The writing is solid, the characters are two of my favorite of the series and it has a satisfying conclusion. While book three of the series, it stands well on its own if someone has not read the first two books. |

Life and love is full of bumps, bruises, ups and downs. The important factor, is knowing the life you live is on the path you want it to be and sometimes going back is really just about going home. This is Pepper and Coop’s story and is a total feel good read loaded with not just likeable characters but ones you wish were your friends. It is full of love, family, friendships, dreams, expectations and a wonderful story line that flows effortlessly while it pulls you in. As I read the book, I realized it is part of a series however; it is so well written that it can easily stand on its own. Although I now want to read the rest of the series…kind of addicted! **I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an Honest Review** |

This book is the last part in a series, but you can totally read it as a stand alone. I'm really excited about reading the previous two. Pepper came home because her entire life is crashing down. She lost her job and her fiancé, and what is worst, he made it so she can't find a new job. She's there with one mission, see her sister getting married and find a new way to make her life plan come true. Ben Cooper is building the life he wanted. He has a growing bussiness, and her parents to help. He's here to stay at the farm at the town he loves. While the two of them have known each other their entire life, they haven't really shared a lot. I loved watching the two of them come together. I love the background the author gives you to show you how their relationship grows and shifts through the years but most of the feelings develop during the book. Pepper is a control freak and Cooper is the laid back guy. They balance each other out. Natural charisma and bussiness knowledge coming together to make them achive their goals. This is a great story of enemies to lovers. The secondary characters, a lovely touch for the readers of the series and honestly, I loved their input to the story. The town's people was great, the author makes you feel like part of the town and like you know them all. The perfect read for a weekend. Sweet, funny and full of swoon moments complete with grand gestures. |
Dating the Wrong Mr. Right (Sisters of Wishing Bridge Farm #3) by Amanda Ashby • Perfect Day I absolutely love this series!! From thinking they've lost everything as kids to finding their one true love, of course the are lots of bumps along the way... But hey that's life and Amanda has made this series come to life, each character you could imagine either living next door to you or imagine living within their small town. Life throws choices at you and then fate adds her fickleness and you're left to pick, but will your original dream be enough? Or do you now wish for something you never expected? That's what's happening within this story for Pepper and Coop, to see what their ultimate choice is you'll have to read Dating the Wrong Mr. Right. Although each of the stories within this series is its own standalone story, the all coincide around the Wishing Bridge Farm. You could read them in any order, I recommend reading them in order so you get all the little details. It'll be worth your time to read all 3 stories. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book via Tasty Book Tours through NetGalley for an honest blog tour review. Favorite Passage ~ • But whatever it is, I want to find out where it ends. |
For every person that had life throw a monkey wrench in your plans. This book is for you. Pepper and Ben are dealing with upsets in their lives.

Her plans to regroup are thrown off course by well meaning family, hometown busybodies and her least favorite person, Ben. Ms. Ashby teaches some valuable lessons as she reaches inside and inspires the soul with fiery personalities, humorous dialogue and heartwarming moments of insight. |
I discovered the "Sisters of Wishing Bridge Farm" not very long ago but I fell in love with them from the first page on. This book is the third in the series and the others are definitely also worth reading. I loved them as much as this one. " "Dating the Wrong Mr. Right" is Pepper's story and it is also Coop's story. And it is a story about expectations and dreams and the question whose dream we're living. It might also be a story about coming home and trusting that things might work out. Pepper and Coop are absolutely sweet together and I loved to read their story. With Bec and Emmy around and all the other inhabitants of Sunshine, this is a story that'll make you swoon and smile and laugh and, well, swoon a bit more. Okay, a lot more. Having moved back from Seattle to Sunshine, Pepper can't wait to get her life back. And that life doesn't include Sunshine, at least not as a place to live and work but somehow fate might have other ideas. Or Cupid might. Why else should it be so difficult to avoid Coop and even more difficult to stop kissing him? Will his kisses win or will Pepper stick to her long-time plan and get the hell out of Dod...Sunshine? Many wonderful minor characters add to the cozy and charming setting. Charlie and Stan, Miss Dottie and the other inhabitants of Sunshine are all very unique characters who make you feel that you know this place and you never want to leave because you know everybody there and they are just special and make you feel at home. And sometimes they just make you laugh. Hard. You don't believe me? Ask Stan. I'm pretty sure he has a sign plastered on the side of his taxi telling you that I am right. A wonderful and sweet read that I can definitely recommend - as well as the other books of the series! |

Finally we get Pepper and Coop's story. If you've read the other books in the series they have had this love/hate thing going on but we never really knew why. Now with this very cute story we do. If you haven't read the other books you will still be able to enjoy this one. Pepper has had her life carefully planned out since she was eleven years old. Everything was going according to plan until suddenly it wasn't. Now she's struggling to get back on track and not get sidetracked by Ben Cooper. The longer she's back at Wishing Bridge the fuzzier that plan becomes. When she finally gets her wish and has the chance to get her career back and leave Wishing Bridge she finds that maybe it's time to rewrite the plan. Excellent story and one I highly recommend. |

A Sparkling Story The third book in the series 'Sisters of Wishing Bridge Farm'. Pepper Watson likes to be in control and ever since her parents died and aged eleven she was sent to live in Sunshine, Connecticut she has wanted and, planned to go back home to Seattle. Eight years ago she made it there but now her douche bag of a boss and ex-fiancé has made it impossible for her to live and work there. Temporarily she is living back at the farm and helping her sisters with their wedding planning business. Besides worrying about her finances and finding a new job, she could do without being around her sister Bec's best friend Ben Cooper, whom she finds annoying and distracting. However, when he comes to her rescue sparks begin to fly between the pair of them. This book can be read as a standalone. I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own. |
Dating the Wrong Mr. Right is the 3rd book in Amanda Ashby’s Sisters of Wishing Bridge Farm series. I have not read the other books in this series and while this book can be read as a stand alone, it would probably be helpful to have read the first two. I spent quite a bit of time looking back and trying to figure out who certain characters were. I was not a fan of the heroine, Pepper, in this book. Maybe if I had read about her in the earlier books, my opinion of her would have changed a little. But I felt like she was a bit icy. I know she had been burned by love before but the hero in this book was trying to help her and she could have been nicer at the beginning. Her attitude left a bad taste in my mouth and it didn’t lessen much as the book progressed and it negatively colored the rest of the story. |

I really liked this book. I liked both Ben and Pepper. I didn't realize it was a series, but as it is, this book can stand alone, there's enough backstory here to give you a solid back ground. Pepper comes home, not by choice after breaking up with her now ex fiancé who was a total dirt ball, her life in Seattle was solid, she was ready to make partner in the law firm she worked for until he took that away from her, deciding she'd need to spend more time at home after they married!! I thought what fresh hell is this? Not only that, he blackballs her from getting a job anywhere else in Seattle so she has little choice but to return home to CT, to the town she couldn't wait to leave. Home to her sisters who still live there, one about to marry, the other pregnant and soon to marry and Pepper takes on the wedding planning... short notice. They have 4 weeks. She left behind something else too when she left the town of Sunshine, Ben Cooper. Ben's twin and Pepper were best friends. Since an incident in high school Ben and Pepper are like oil and water. When Ben's at the farmhouse getting something for Bec, Pepper's ex shows up. He's nasty, rude and bossy and at a loss Pepper latches on to Ben thinking that will shut the ex down and it does. He leaves, while they are enjoying their first kiss. The tension between these two was incredible and Amanda did a great job writing both Ben and Pepper. Things said and left unsaid. The past, Ben opening up to her. And finally Pepper and Ben growing more intimate, but what happens then? The day her sister gets married. A phone call from somewhere else. Ben's reaction. Pepper's reaction to Ben. All the tensions bubble up and wow did they ever. So well written and man, I didn't see that coming. Loved this book, I'd like to go back and get a gander at the earlier books in the series. Great story Amanda!! 4.5 stars from me. **arc from Netgalley and Entangled in exchange for a fair review** |

I had read Bec's book in the past and enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to enjoying this one as well-- and I did. I did feel that there were several formatting errors and some missed words, which sometimes made it difficult to follow who was saying what. I also felt that the author could have made it a little longer-- near the end I felt like it wrapped up a little quickly/too easily. There just felt like something was missing. Overall, I did enjoy the book though and will look forward to reading more by this author. |
Ben and Pepper have been too busy locking horns with each other to give in to the attraction sizzling between them. But now that Pepper is back in Sunshine indefinitely, and them both working side by side in the wedding planning business, they decide to a truce. Spending time together, they finally give in to their attraction but with Pepper eager to get away from Sunshine and Ben putting down roots, can they have anything more than a fling ? This was a quick, fun read. I enjoy small town romances, the supporting characters are always super fun, which was true in this case also, especially Stan, the taxi driver. The clients and cases he kept getting for Pepper were hilarious. A light hearted, entertaining read that I really enjoyed. |
It probably would have been more enjoyable if the entire series was read, but the story is cute and strong enough to stand on it's own. This review is based on the ARC provided by the author and/or the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. |
