This book was a lot of fun. I loved the characters and although the original meet cute seemed pretty implausible, the connection, the chemistry and the conflict between these two felt authentic to me. It helps that I am a sucker for a grumpy hero with a sweet side. I will definitely be looking for more books from Rebecca Brooks.

4.5 Stars

One day, I will learn to not doubt authors. Wrong Bed, Right Girl is the second book in Rebecca Brooks’s Accidental Love series. I thought the first book, Wrong Bed, Right Roommate was perfect. I couldn't fathom how Rebecca could pull off another wrong bed book but she did.

In Wrong Bed, Right Girl, Talia Lassiter finds herself the principal ballerina of the New York City Ballet, after the original principal had to leave unexpectedly for a family emergency. With Stacey having to leave so quickly, she offers to allow Talia to sublease her small, cramped studio apartment. Reed Bishop is a DEA agent gunning for the position of lieutenant. To do so, he must crack the case of several pharmacy robberies, including one where someone was killed. He finally has someone he thinks is a reliable informant in Stacey Moss. When Reed doesn’t hear from Stacey, he goes to her apartment to check on her, fearing her association with him has been discovered. In the darkness of the apartment, Reed trips over a box and finds himself falling on top of Talia.

When the dust settles, Reed realizes Stacey had to have skipped town because she was afraid. Reed knows the guy he's after is dangerous and that Talia being in Stacey's apartment puts her in danger. Since it's the middle of the night, Reed offers to let Talia stay at his apartment, until she can find somewhere else to stay or until he can find some place for her.

What starts out as an offer to stay at his place for a night or maybe a week turns into so much more. Talia is the first woman Reed has truly been interested in since his fiance left him. He loves his job and doesn’t want to give it up. For this reason, he thinks “I’m not a good guy to be around.” Talia isn't anything like Reed expected. She's loud, bold, independent. She says what she thinks. She has a heart of gold and a small devilish streak, “She was going to make this uptight man lose control if it was the last thing she did.” That she does and then some. On paper, Reed and Talia don't make sense. Reed’s guarded and reserved. He's all business and hardly ever smiles. Talia is smart, funny, and engaging. Their differences are what make them so perfect for each other. How can I forget about the chemistry between these two? Talia and Reed are hawt together! Anyone within arm's length of these two risks getting burned.

Prepare yourself to fall in love with these two, as they get to know each other and realize that sometimes being in the wrong place is actually the right place to be.

Wrong Bed, Right Girl was a fun ride with interesting characters. Talia is driven, incredibly talented yet so hard on herself and critical. Reed is a great cop. He's dedicated and driven at what he does.

The two are almost instantly overly attached. Reed tries to keep things professional but with them sharing his apartment, it's increasingly hard to do. Reed's got too many demons for his good after a rough breakup. He lets it get in the way of admitting his love for Talia.

Talia's so good and strong that she puts herself in danger to help Reed's brother, Aaron, bring down a ruthless drug dealer.

I like all the characters in this book. Talia has reason to be very self-centered but isn't. Reed is a good guy with a strong commitment to his job and family. They're so good together.

Wrong Bed, Right Girl is a good read.

I wasn't sure I'd like this book when I started it. It stared off real slow and then, bam! It turned out to be really cute. I loved Talia and Reed's connection. And his family was awesome!

I didn't like that it was written in the third person, that's why I gave it 4 stars. I like to read it as if the characters themselves are telling the story, not someone else.

Book Title: Wrong Bed, Right Girl (Accidental Love #2)
Author: Rebecca Brooks
Pub Date: May 13, 2019

***ARC was provided to me by Net Galley and the Publisher for a fair and honest review***

Overall rating: 4/5 A drug problem in the ballet leads a DEA agent to fall into the bed of the lead Ballerina.

Heroine (Talia Lassiter): 4/5 Is the understudy for the lead part in the ballet Ballet. She’s athletic dancer, wants to be perfect in the role as she is called into be the lead, and doesn’t have time for relationships.

Hero (Reed Bishop): 3.5/5 Is a DEA agent with the hopes of becoming Lieutenant after finishing his big case. He is a wall of muscle, dresses casually compared to his suit wearing brother, and doesn’t see how he can allow anyone serious in his life given his job.

Plot: 4/5 When trying to check in on his informant Reed ends up falling quite literally into Talia’s bed. But the bed had belonged to his informant Stacy just a few hours before. Stacy was a lead ballerina and going to break an underground drug trade case for Reed. Stacy was now on the run, quickly given her apartment to Talia and quit the city. Reed deems the place not safe for Talia to stay and takes her home with him. Both are attracted to the other but think they can’t have a serious relationship right now. But when living so close how long will it be before they can’t keep their hands to themselves?

Personal Review: I enjoyed the banter between Talia and Reed, they’re a fun pair even though Reed tries hard not to talk at all. Reed is a good guy even if he doesn’t always say the right thing, he’s very human in a way many guys in these types of stories are simply not. I really enjoyed the meeting the family bit and wish the pair got to spend more time there.

The writing overall portrayed a very human experience on both sides. Both the leads have a chip on their shoulder about how their last relationships ended and they take that baggage into this relationship in a very realistic way. Overall it’s a good read and I would read another story from this author in a heartbeat.

Rebecca Brooks has been a really exciting find for me a reader. I think she's doing great work with describing the emotional lives of characters. In this book, Reed is determined to hold himself back emotionally while Talia rushes in withe her whole heart. When that low moment happens, I found myself genuinely feeling BOTH of their pain, and I thought it was so well done. She also writes a super hot sex scene and so this book worked for me in lots and lots of ways.

My only hesitation on this one is that I don't really love the DEA agent plot. It just seemed like a total stretch that he'd invite her to stay with him (God knows it drips of white privilege) and that it would then play out the way it does with Talia in the investigation. But that's not a deal breaker, but it strained plausibility and I hard time suspending my disbelief.

Wrong Bed, Right Girl is a fun, steamy read. The chemistry between Talia and Reed is off the charts, and almost lets you forget that the reason why they're "forced" to share a teeny, tiny apartment is...well, kind of forced. It's hard to argue with the results here, though, which is a forced proximity romance that is at turns sweet and smoking between two characters who it would be next to impossible not to root for. (And I was not Talia's number one fan in the first book, so that's saying something!)

You really don't have to have read the first book ( Wrong Bed, Right Roommate ) to enjoy this one--the bits you do need to know (why Talia needs a place to stay) are explained straight off; beyond that Jessie and Shawn play small roles here as BFF and brother, and you're fine not knowing their backstory when it comes to enjoying this one.

That said, Ms. Brooks has been teasing us for two books now with Rose's mysterious fiance/boyfriend/possible (probable!) bad idea--please tell me we're getting her story next?!?!

Rating: 4 stars / B+

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Wrong Bed, Right Girl was a surprise and I couldn't appreciate all the surprises more. This is my first experience with Rebecca Brooks and I was super pleased with this story.

Reed Bishop works for the DEA and is close to putting away a big-time drug dealer when his informant secretly flees the city. When Reed goes to check on her he ends up falling into and on top of Talia, another girl who worked with his informant. Realizing his informant fleed he knows Talia isn't safe and he brings her home with him.

Talia is finally living in an apartment on her own and has the part of her dreams when Reed comes in and falls on her. Now she's moving in with a man she's never met. The longer she stays with Reed however, the more she struggles with keeping her feelings in check.

Oh, this book was so good. I was glad there was nothing overtly dangerous and scary that brought the characters back together (hope that's not a spoiler). I loved the build-up to Talia and Reed's relationship. After they got together I could feel the sexual tension in every encounter they had.

Wrong Bed, Right Girl is a very fun read, with amazing characters and great writing.

Rating: 4.5

Great story. New to this author and she. Retain my impressed me. Adding her to my list of go to authors!!

What I enjoy most about Rebecca Brooks novels is that she always manages to surprise me. Wrong Bed, Right Girl is a mixture of what makes reading great. Intriguing characters, tempting romance and an ever evolving storyline. From romantic to suspenseful, thrilling to emotional and heartbreaking to heartwarming, Brooks manages to encompass the best of multiple genres in one tiny package.

I read the first book of Jessie and Shawn. I was happpy to receive an arc of this book too. It’s about Shawn’s sister Talia and the DEA Agent Reed.

This book has a similar way (how Talia and Reed meet and what happens on the couch) of story line like the first book. But still both characters are different and there are ups and downs and a little bit of suspense.

I enjoyed this book and thank NetGalley and the publisher for this ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

Two people with very opposite personalities falls in love in this book and I really liked it.
Reed is a big, muscled, tattooed, broody and bald (clean shaven) detective at the DEA. He is in the middle of a big case about drugstore robberies and murder in New York. When his informant disappears and he finds her apartment taken over by Talia who knew the informant he has to get her away from the dangerous situation she finds herself in and takes her home with him because she doesn’t have any place to go. Talia is a very open minded, sweet, sassy, messy and beautiful ballerina and she totally takes over his apartment and life. They both have their insecurities both in their jobs but also in their private lives and when they start up a sexual relationship all these insecurities gets in the way of them being together but is there a way they can figure it out in the end?
There are very graphic sexual encounters in this book, but they are very well written especially the couch scene and the rooftop scene at the police station!
This story is very steamy, heartwarming but also heartbreaking, warm, sweet and funny and they definitely have a meet cute.
I can definitely recommend this book.
I got this book for free through Netgalley and Entangled publishing in exchange for an honest review.

Wrong Bed, Right Girl by Rebecca Brooks is book two in the Accidental Love series. Every book is about another couplke and can be read as a standalone. The previous book is Wrong Bed, Right Roommate.
Wrong Bed, Right Girl is Reed and Talia's story.
Reed Bishop is a DEA Agent and he loves his job. When he's looking for an informant he stumbles over Talia Lassiter.
Talia is a ballerina, just moved into her new apartement when the hunk of an detective lands in her bed. Both have great chemistry, but his job is to dangerous .... and in typical alpha manier he decodes for both of them- But he didn't count on Talia and her stubborness.
The book is a nailbiting pageturner, a rom/com with thriller elements. I liked it and give 4 stars.

This is part of the Accidental Love series and features a DEA agent, Reed Bishop, who is endeavouring to track down Stacey who is his missing informant in a potentially high profile case. She is a prima ballerina who has, unknown to him, sub let her studio apartment to her understudy…. which is how he ended up falling onto the bed in which Talia was sleeping! After this inauspicious introduction, he manages to convince Talia that it is unsafe for her to remain in her new apartment and takes her to stay in his – her sleeping in his bed whilst he sleeps on his couch! As the investigation continues the attraction between the two grows. Can they resist temptation?

This is a hot, steamy, erotic romantic suspense with plenty of action. There were times when you needed to suspend any reality check (I mean, would you really go stay with someone who let themselves into your apartment on your first night there?) but it is still a good story line and plenty of twist and turns in the plot as well as in the bedroom (and elsewhere). There are fun times, too – like when Talia tries to cook and family dynamics also have a role to play. Will they get to catch the bad guys? You’ll just have to read it yourself to discover what happens!

I requested and was gifted a copy of this book and this is my honest review after choosing to read it.

I read the first book to Rebecca Brooks Accidental Love series the beginning of this year and was introduced to the female character Talia in that book. I didn't like her at first in Wrong Bed, Right Roommate because how she reacted to her friend and brother getting together. Although, I was intrigued to find out who Talia would hook up within Wrong Bed, Right Girl.

The book is told in both Talia and Reed's POVs, so readers will get to be in both of the characters heads. The characters end up meeting each other in the most unlikely circumstance. Reed is a DEA agent, and his informant Stacey who happens to be a ballet dancer, has been avoiding him. He is trying to close this case, and he needs Stacey to assist with it. He ends up going to her apartment, and instead of finding Stacey, he finds Talia. Unfortunately, Talia can't stay at the apartment since she could be in danger if she does stay. She'll end up staying with Reed, and these two will have some challenging moments between each other. There is a lot of tension between the two, and there's also hesitation from both of them. Let's say the two are complete opposite's of each other and I don't know how they could make it work out between the two of them.

I liked Talia in this story. I thought I was not going to like her since I didn't like her in the first book. She gets herself in a situation accidentally, but she handles it very well. She also knows how to handle Reed, even though he is tough. He has a lot of back and forth feelings, which is why I didn't connect well with his character. He drove me crazy being all over the place, and putting Talia is situations that could've been handled better. I could understand his hesitation, but he could've been up front with Talia. Talia is one character who is independent and is trying to prove she can be the best ballet dancer. She can't have any distractions, but she does with Reed.

Overall, this was an enjoyable book. It wasn't my favorite though due to the couple in the series so far. There is a HEA at the end of the story, so don't worry. Talia is the reason why I enjoyed the book. She put Reed in his place a couple of times. I will say this that there are some very steamy moments between the characters in the book.

Will, I read the next book in the series? Yes, if Rebecca writes another Accidental Love series, I will read it. I loved meeting some other characters in this book.

Story Rating: 3.5 stars
Steaminess Rating: 4 stars
Standalone or part of series: Part of series, but can be read as a standalone. Different couple for each book.
Do I recommend this book?  Yes.
Will I read other books from the author? Yes.
Tropes/Elements: Strangers to Lovers; Opposite's Attract
Hero: DEA Agent
Heroine: Ballet Dancer

This story from a new-to-me author was interesting from the start. Some intrigue, a lot of romance, and a great overall story.

This was a fun, breezy read with a very Odd Couple cop/ballerina pairing in a forced proximity situation. I am generally wary of romance heroes whose reason for avoiding relationships is "My life is too dangerous to share with anyone else" but this guy's experience sort of validated that world-view. The two become friends, then friends with (majorly steamy) benefits, and then-whoops, everyone's catching feelings. The couple's breakup is handled in a believable manner-the reasons why she flies off the handle and he doesn't say anything felt very true and...oof. And the reconciliation was sweet (in one aspect, quite literally).

I was given an Advance Reader's Copy in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the first book in this series, and was so excited to read this one. Unfortunately, it wasn’t what I was expecting.

Talia was in the last book – she’s the heroine’s roommate and BFF and the hero’s sister. At the start of this book, she’s just sublet the apartment of a ballerina friend who’s had to leave suddenly due to a family emergency. Only, it turns out it’s not a family emergency but rather that she’s on the run due to a drug lord… and the cop who was working with her decides to check on her late at night in her apartment. After the inevitable meet-disaster, Reed insists that she can’t stay in the apartment, and of course the only option is that she comes stay with him. And this is where everything gets weird and suddenly we’re in the middle of a romantic suspense novel.

While I don’t read a ton of romantic suspense, I do have certain expectations for it, and the whole plot required a lot of suspension of disbelief. I can’t believe Reed, who’s basically married to his job and deadset on making lieutenant, would compromise his ethics so much by getting involved with someone who may be tied to his big investigation. I really can’t believe that Talia would just randomly go home with a cop who basically broke into her apartment (he had a key, but still…) and then proceed to live there for weeks. I really didn’t like this component of the book, and since it’s a rather large part of it, this really affected my enjoyment of it.

“You pretend to be this big, old asshole. But I know the truth about you.”
“I’m a big, young asshole?”
The grin got even wider. “You’re nice.”
She pronounced the word with relish. He couldn’t tell if she was making fun of him or being serious. Or both.”


I did like the relationship between Talia and Reed, though it felt more like insta-lust to begin with. Reed’s a pretty grumpy hero and Talia’s pretty positive, so there’s a nice bit of opposites-attract going on. Grumpy characters meeting their match are a favorite trope of mine, and there’s a lot of teasing from Talia about how Reed is really a softie at heart. While they seem initially quite different, they’re both focused on their careers (Reed making lieutenant and Talia on landing the starring role in an important production), and also have both been burned by previous relationships, which does cause some seesawing back and forth. Once they gave in to the attraction between them, things get very steamy – Reed puts his handcuffs to good use – but neither can let go of their past relationship issues. I enjoyed their banter, but it did feel like it was very predictable – like, since Talia had been burned before by putting a relationship over her career, the same thing would happen again with Reed.

Overall, while I liked Reed and Talia’s relationship, I found pretty much everything around the whole drug dealer plot ridiculous. I’m not sure which of Talia’s friend group is up next in the series, but I will still probably pick up the next book in the hope it’s more similar to the first.

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

He was just doing his job, tracking down his lead informant and suddenly Reed Bishop is falling head-first into the wrong woman’s bed. Because it is no longer safe, he can’t let Talia stay in her apartment so now she is sleeping in his bed, there are pink tights in his bathroom, pointe shoes next to his boots and he’s having fantasies that refuses to give into.

This romance is very entertaining and so full of sizzling chemistry that readers can feel the heat as it burns up the pages. The characters are strong, captivating and easily draw readers into their story which is quite an amusing blend of passion, cheek and denial. Reed is determined to keep Talia at arm’s length and Talia is just as determined that her career should come first, especially both of them have some emotional issues left over from past relationships. This keeps this relationship on a bit of a rollercoaster ride and readers experience a whole range of emotions along the way including a quite a bit of chuckles.

The story has a bit of suspense going on Reed tries to unravel his case but it kind of takes a back seat to the romance of the story but is this is no way damages this story because it does play it’s part in it as with a surprising twist Talia takes a dangerous leap. The plot is fast paced and has a cute, witty dialogue that really makes the story and the relationship pop with a certain flair and readers can’t help but enjoy this cute, charming and emotional story.
