Loved. The characters were good and the story line kept me interested the whole time. Will be reading the other books in this series.

Decent writing but I just didn't enjoy the voice of the main character and there were too many unbelievable mishaps and lying throughout. The book has an HEA but you have to wade through too much misery to get there.

The Wrong Kind of Love is the right kind of story. Lame pun but the story makes up for it. Jackson Harbor makes up for it. And if for some reason that wasn't enough, I have 5 Jackson men that will entertain, flirt, and seduce you. Not to mention a family that steals your heart!

The Wrong Kind of Love reels you in with an unforgettable blurb. I mean seriously, her sister pukes on her bouquet and mentions the baby daddy is the groom. That is some world class assholery right there from her very own twin. Unforgettable. Mind bogglingly unforgettable. Also the perfect reason to run away...to Jackson Harbor.

I can't wait to watch these testosterone laden hotties crumble one by one. Jackson Harbor is the perfect setting. The Jacksons are the perfect characters. I just need the rest of their stories.

I absolutely love a romance book filled with angst, passion and drama and this one does not disappoint. I LOVED IT!!! Ethan and Nicole are characters that are unforgettable and their story is one that is well written. There are definitely heartfelt moments in this read. The back and forth banter between the brothers were amusing and I enjoyed a few laughs along the way. Lilly was so sweet and adorable that you couldn't help but love her. This story was a sweet romance read with just the right amount of steamy scenes and passion. I cant wait to read the next book in this series.

Synopsis
On the day of her wedding, Nic finds out that her fiancé cheated on her with her twin sister... and got her pregnant. She runs off and finds herself in a small town in Michigan where she plans to hide and lick her wounds. Then she meets Ethan.
Ethan has a past he can't forgive himself for, and keeps everyone at arms length. But his feelings for Nic won't go away. And now they're stuck together for the next 3 months.

Overview
This was a wonderful slow burn romance. Seriously guys. Around 65% through, I felt metaphorically blue balled by all the sexual tension. In the best way possible.

This is told from alternating perspectives - Nic and Ethan.

Content warnings: Depression, suicide, cheating, cancer, drug abuse, and child neglect.

What I Liked
1. The chemistry between the main characters was palpable. Their connection felt so believable and I was completely absorbed into their worlds.
2. This spent some time discussing mental illness and I felt like it was handled with such respect. There was a big focus on mental illness being a disease and how it's affect on family and those around them. It talks about the guilt of losing a loved one to mental illness. It was heartbreaking but expertly handled. I really appreciated seeing this side of mental illness in a book.
3. I'm in love with the Jackson family. I'm so excited that each of the siblings are getting a book, and I can't wait to get my hands on each of them.

What I Didn't Like
1. I mention this a lot in romance reviews, but I HATE when conflict is created due to lack of communication. It drives me bonkers. This one wasn't terrible, but towards the end, Ethan learns something about Nic and pushes her away without ever hearing her out. Just once I want the characters to talk it out..

Overall I was completely engrossed by this novel. It was hard-hitting yet sexy. I've been in a major reading slump but still devoured this in 2 sittings. I just couldn't put it down. If you're looking for a new romance series, definitely check this one out!

Nicole should be on top of the world. She is about to marry the man of her dreams, but when she finds out that her sister is having her soon to be husband's baby this turns into more like a nightmare. Running away leads Nic down a path of more lies and deception when she impersonates her sister to keep a job. A job that leads her to finally finding the family and love she deserves. But when Ethan finds out who she really is will the romance end or can he understand why the lies were in place? With beautifully written characters that the reader falls in love with very quickly and a storyline that had me laughing as well as sighing this was a great read. I look forward to reading more in this series.

When I read this book's description on Netgalley, I hit that request button so fast that I couldn’t get any sleep until I’d read Nicole’s story.

See, I like my romance served up sweet, hot, steamy, kinky, sizzling…anything but a touch of hot and cold and that’s what happened here. Ethan, aka Dr. Jackson, was as inconsiderate as he was trying to be sweet and that right there hit a sore spot.

For how do you go from wanting someone to wanting them gone in a breath? There were so many instances in the story where I felt that Nicole had been belittled all her life and wanted her to get up from being a doormat and just fly.

The up-side is that this book’s got dual points of view, so you get to hear from both Ethan and Nicole and that salvages the human aspect of it. It’s also got great characters who make up Jackson’s family right down to his adorable daughter-Lily.

I’m a sucker for romance and love and will say that it’s quite a read.

I really liked the description of this book and was excited to read this book. I have also heard a lot of good things about Lexi Ryan but had yet to read a book by her. The thing I liked was the dual POV. Sadly that was about the only thing I liked. I really hate when the main female character is a doormat and that’s exactly what Nicole was. I also thought Ethan was kind of a dick. Some of the things he said really made me mad. I had a hard time rooting for him. I’m also sick of single dads in contemporary romance novels not having an issue finding a woman to sleep with, but single moms are basically celibate. Sorry for the rant, I was just pretty disappointed.
