A fun and hot read that I thoroughly enjoyed. The character development and representation was done with care and attention. I couldn't get enough!

As a big fan of Bergman Brothers series, Chloe Liese became my automatic approved author on my reading list: I can read anything she writes including post it notes with nonsense scribblings.

But this book is something extra special and deserves more than five stars.

It’s smart, entertaining, poignant retelling of Much Ado Nothing. My favorite tropes: enemies to lovers and fake dating couldn’t blend in this story so great.

A hero with anxiety issues and artsy, unconventional heroine on the spectrum with nothing in common. They’re opposite Astro sign duos: a perfectionist, strict Capricorn and cantankerous Cancer!

Bea Wilmot; erotic artist: giving a new meaning to people’s sacred body parts with her drawings. Her body is covered in tattoo. She’s eccentric, also cautious after a bad breakup shook her to the core, destroying her self esteem.

Jamie/ Jake/ West Westenberg: coming from competitive, highly achievable surgeon family. He’s a pediatrician, cat lover, cataloging every bone of human body instead of counting sheep before sleeping. He's bookish-looking and hiding a rocking bod in the wrinkle-free dad slacks.

Jamie works with Jean Claude: the boyfriend of Bea’s twin sister Jules. Jean Claude and Jules decided to play matchmakers. The other friends circle join this plan at the Halloween party. But this plan ends with disastrous results. Bea two times throws drinks at Jamie ( not intentionally) and they find themselves locked in closet, sharing near kissing experience! Then Jamie runs away and Bea gets humiliated at the end of the night.
But that unsuccessful attempt couldn’t stop the matchmakers. They still try pushing Bea and Jamie into each other.

Bea gets pissed to be forced dating with someone opposite of her. She decides to get a revenge by fake dating and breaking up to teach her overprotective sister a lesson. Luckily Jamie accepts to play fauxmance.

But as you expected their opposite attraction, high chemistry are undeniable. Maybe they don’t have anymore! Maybe there are more important things in the life than sweet revenge!

Both of the characters are so much lovable. Especially Jamie won my heart when he tries to hide what’s inside of his freezer? Yes, it’s fulled with vegetable soup samples he’s made for Bea! He even bought her favorite lubricant! Wow! He’s caring, sweetest guy and Bea: eccentric, unique, emotional heroine I truly cared!

I think I can read more Wilmot sister books! I’m already intrigued about adventurous Kate who appeared at the last chapters.

Overall: I loved it! I adored it! I devoured it! Dating again it deserves more than five stars!

CW: anxiety, toxic relationship (past relationship, and side character's relationship), emotionally abusive parents/family tensions, ableism

I would recommend if you're looking for (SPOILERS)

-m/f fake dating
-crash of a meet cute
-insta attraction
-opposites attract
-horny, horny slow burn
-meddling friends
-mutual pining
-neurodiverse and anxiety rep

What a book, I just, honestly I am so upset it is over. Bea and Jamie are just top tier. Bea a bit prickly not looking for love. Jamie, uptight, set in his ways. They crash into each other and just keep doing it. I love how they effortlessly keep running into each other, their lives intertwining. The instant chemistry. Every fake dating moment of wondering if this is real, not even recognizing at first what they were feeling. Squeeee

I adored how much this book was about the simple risk of loving someone, being your honest self,letting them see you. Bea and Jamie were each other's safe spaces, even when they didn't mean to be at first. Jamie was just top tier for me. How he didn't even realize it but had jsut fallen for Bea. How he rescued two elderly cats. Just a softie wearing those glasses. Every moment he checked in with Bea to ensure she felt safe squeezed my heart.

Bea's relationship with her twin. Honestly I could just rave on an on. The beautifully crafted secondary characters that has me chomping for the next book in the series. Just two people in a lot of denial, pining away, horny, horny, horny for each other, and falling in love in the softest way.

Steam: 3.25

Bea is an artist who has sworn off love after a bad relationship. Her twin sister introduces her to Jamie, an uptight pediatrician who has also given up on relationships. Sparks don’t fly immediately because Bea spills drinks all over him- not once but twice. Bea and Jamie’s scheming friends set them up on a not so blind date, where the two decide to fake date in order to get revenge on their meddling pals. The only problem is, their friends might be right… these opposites might just attract.

I loved this book so much. It was one of those books that I tore through the pages but had to try to make myself slow down to savor it. Bea and Jamie’s relationship was just so real and so sweet. I truly appreciated the author’s representation of neurodiverse main characters, as Bea is autistic and Jamie has anxiety. As a person who has always struggled with anxiety, it was so lovely to see traits I know so well reflected in the pages of a romance. I felt the author handled these subjects beautifully by addressing them head on but not making it the focal point of the story. This book is heartfelt, joyful, and beautifully written. It’s everything I want in a romance, and I’d recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley Publishing for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this sweet story about characters who had to overcome anxiety in order to come together. At the 70% mark, I did feel like the drama was contrived and unnecessary. It felt more like setting up for a sequel with other characters than it felt appropriate to our leads.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC.

Huge thank you to Chloe Liese and PHR International for giving me the opportunity to read an early copy of this beautiful book.

I’m a big fan of Chloe Liese, her writing and story telling is always phenomenal. And I really loved the way she doesn’t just write about romance, she always covers so many important topics in her books and is always making readers feel truly seen which is so important.

I really liked the awkward main characters, I found them both to be really endearing and of course I was a big fan of the mental health (anxiety) and autistic spectrum reps. Fake dating is one of my favourite tropes and this one was no different, I thought Bea and Jamie really needed that little extra push to be together because they were so sweet! I always love the way Chloe managed to write the steamy scenes that are spicy and know how to get you all hot and bothered 🥵 but are also so full of consent! We love to see that consent!

My only slight issue was that I didn’t really like Bea’s sister, Jules. To me, I didn’t feel like she respected her sisters boundaries and she was rude to her sister constantly. And I’m not a big fan of the third act conflict so that let it down slightly for me. But still a very enjoyable read that I would recommend to all my romance loving friends!

I love Chloe Liese, the Bergman Brother’s series featured more than once on my favourite books of 2021 list, so I was beyond excited to see that she was creating a new world and even more excited when I got to dive into it months before publication!

This one was a little bit of a mixed bag for me. I LOVED Bea and Jamie! Loved them!! I thought that they were great characters individually and together, they were smart, funny and flawed in their own ways, but also self-aware enough to know where they struggled in life. I liked that, as always, Liese doesn’t just write romance but she writes about autism, anxiety, toxic relationships and family dynamics. She writes sex scenes that are spicy but full of consent, and main characters you want to root for and see get their happy ending.

However, it was (almost) all the side characters that I had an issue with, especially Bea’s twin sister Jules. Of all the people you would think would understand boundaries and limits when it came to her twin sister and what she feels comfortable with you would think it would be Jules, but no. For me, she had no respect for Bea or her boundaries, she only thought of herself. She was pushy and rude and believed that she knew best. It often felt like she didn’t care if her sister was uncomfortable or struggling because ‘I know what’s best for you’. Others were involved with this mentality but it was mainly Jules. Those scenes, especially with her sister, but with other side characters made me mad and uncomfortable. I do think that was part of Liese’s point, that what is ‘right’ for one person might not be ‘right’ for someone else and we all need to be able to figure out our own paths in this world. Whilst it did ruin some of the enjoyment for me, I’d still give this close to a 4 star.

I feel like there’s going to be three books in this series, one of each of the sisters, and I’m ready for it! I also have a sneaky suspicion that one may be set in Scotland so….hey Chloe!!

This one is out November 22nd, which gives you plenty of time to pre-order and then go off and read the Begman’s if you haven’t already!

By now I'm a fan of Chloe Liese writing. It's not just her way with words, her dream descriptions or the chemistry of her characters. It is the way her characters connect with the reader in a deep way, how the reader can enter the book with them.
.
Fake relationship is one of my favorite tropes, as always the characters think they are smarter pretending only to show that they have nothing under control when the complicity of the situation leads them to deep feelings and explosive chemistry
.
.
Jamie is pediatrician, serious and strict , sticking to his rules and routines that keep his anxiety at bay .He normally hates social gatherings but when his best friend have a masquerade birthday party and insists he go, he can only attend and endure every attempt to set him up with the woman behind the rare lobster mask who keeps bumping into him .
.
Beatrice is a talented artist who is on the autistic spectrum , and after having left behind a difficult relationship, she needs time to try to have a relationship again but with her twin sister in love and determined to get her to fall in love like her, things start happen fast.
Bea is capable of doing anything for her sister and agrees to meet her ideal candidate without counting that there was more than one person in the plan, and the sexy man behind the mask is also the grumpiest one who she can't stop to think about
.
They are both tricked by their mutual friends into getting out of their dating ban and risking their hearts again. But in the midst of so many cornering and meddling, both decide that the perfect revenge is to prove that they are not only right but also perfect for each other.
.
But from playing and faking so much that it is real with the chemistry constantly going up, the lines and rules need to be changed
.
.
I fell in love with the magical scenes, colors and sensations on the pages of this book. For Bea and her way of seeing the world, for Jamie and his thoughtful gestures towards Bea, there are such beautiful, sexy scenes, so good slow burn and heartwarming to read several times
.
Bea and Jame are perfect for each other, so different and with such sensitivity that it is impossible not to fall for them, not to fall in love with each gesture and dialogue between them
.
you can expect slow burn, steamy scenes, meddling friends, the must cute hedgehog and cats, magical fall vibes, and characters you will want to add to your bookboyfriend and book-girlfriend list and want to keep reading about in other books
.

I really liked the awkward main characters, as well as the mental health (anxiety) and autistic spectrum reps. The third act conflict felt somewhat contrived to me though. However, still a fun romance read.

As an exclusively romance reader who has read over 600 romance novels, I can say this is the most romantic book I've read to date. I'm not new to Chloe Liese's writing so I knew I could expect the most gentle and loving romance, but this was so much more!

Jamie and Bea were so good since the beginning. I usually don't enjoy meddling in romance, but this time it was so funny and good to read. They needed to be pushed a little bit because they were not seeing how good to each other the could be. The fake dating in revenge was awesome but the best part was how they fell in love because it was inevitable and they were meant to be. I could read a hundred books about them going on dates and being vulnerable and intimate with each other. The communication was perfect and I hope I could have something as pure as their relationship.

The secondary characters were sooo good! I need Juliet to have a happy ending. Both Bea's and her toxic relationships have reached my heart and now that I got to read Bea's HEA, I need Juliet's. Honestly, I could read a book about every single character of this friend group, even those of them who are already a couple. They're all so amazing and supportive.

I was so ready to give this beautiful story 5 stars, but then the third act break up happened. In general I'm not a fan of this part in any book, and I feel like a parrot because most times it's what makes me change my rating when I can't overlook it, and sadly, this is one of those times. I still believe this book was perfect because a small percentage won't change my entire point of view of the entire story, though, and I wish I could reread this book forever.

Rating: 4.5/5
Steam level: 2/5

Thanks to PRH International and Netgalley for my ARC.

I enjoyed this title, but it got a little repetitive at the end. The dynamic between the romantic leads was powerful. Their banter was humorous and issues were handled in a real way. I do wonder if the author is setting up a Taming of the Shrew spin-off with a couple of side characters. Unlike Taming of the Shrew, the Hero dumped this version of Claudio which was refreshing.

This was such a soft, sweet read! It's a fairly quiet book without a ton of drama, more about watching the couple want to be there for the other and learning how to do that. Which is totally my jam, especially since Bea and Jamie are both so dang lovable and cute and HOT. With the neurodiversity rep and focus on character and relationships, it will definitely appeal to fans of Mazey Eddings and Talia Hibbert. TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT was my first Chloe Liese book, but I'm sure it won't be my last!

Chloe Liese's writing is superbly funny and heartbreaking. I love who she creates characters with flaws that end up being their strengths.

Chloe Liese has done it again! She's written a story that has burrowed deep into my heart and won't ever leave. This book is so tender and kind, it felt like the exact book I needed to read right now.

I absolutely ADORED Bea and Jamie. Separately, they're fantastic: Bea is funny and smart and sparkling, and fiercely loves her people. Jamie is the quintessential Capricorn, reserved and by the rules, but also tender with a sneaky sense of humor that pummels Bea once he unleashes it. They get off on the wrong foot at first, but watching them learn to trust each other and open up and be vulnerable was so incredibly beautiful. One of my favorite lines is after Bea's revealed something about herself to Jamie. She says "it means a lot that you didn't act like you see me differently now" and Jamie replies, "I don't see you differently. I see you better." That's the running theme with these two - as they peel back their layers and show their full, authentic selves, they fall more deeply in love with each other, and isn't that what we all want? (YES.)

Chloe has such a gift of writing stories that make the person reading it feel safe and seen. I love the worlds she builds, where good people have happy endings and the assholes are taken to task. In a world where very little feels fair or just right now, seeing love win is so important. The romance she builds between her characters is always honest and tender, and Two Wrongs Make a Right is no exception in every regard. I absolutely adored this book (as I knew I would) and can't wait for what I hope is [redacted] and [redacted]'s book next!!

Chloe Liese can do no wrong. Ever. She could hit me with her car and I’d be like “aight well I guess I had it coming.”

Chloe is the queen of inclusive romances, and has proven that time and time again with the Bergman Brothers. And she did it again with Two Wrongs Make A Right.

It had neurodivergence. It had a sexy ass male lead and a relatable af lady lead that I would also date. It had lovable side characters (except for the ones who are not lovable at all) who I can’t wait to learn more about in the coming books.

It covered emotional abuse in such a raw, real, but gentle and empathetic way.

In short, Bea, I’m coming for your man. But can we still be best friends?

Thank you to Chloe Liese, Berkley, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this eARC.

In true Chloe fashion, I devoured this book.

The amount of times I read a line and just screamed were too high to count. Bea is amazing and she's an artist and I need all of her work asap. Jamie is the sweetest, most caring, and understand. These two are just perfect and balance each other out so well.

One thing I love about Chloe's writing is the ability to keep it light, but have really great reflective moments of understanding. These characters had multiple discussions that made me feel seen in different ways, and each one just made me love them more.

The relationship between Bea and her twin sister was done really well. Her increasing suspicion of Jean-Claude was perfect, and I picked up on all the red flags right from the start.

For the third act breakup, I thought it was fitting, since it mirrored what Jules had said to Jean-Claude when Bea broke up with her boyfriend. It shows how connected the twins really are, and I loved that. Bea's mom coming into play was also so sweet, and I could see my mom doing something similar.

I thought the setup was done really well for the sister trilogy. It's sprinkled throughout the book, by giving you just enough information about Bea's two sisters to want to know more about them. The hints

Oh my goodness, I think this is Chloe Liese's best novel yet! What a talented writer. I absolutely love the care that goes into crafting these characters. The disability and mental health rep are done with care and make it easy to learn about and show how anyone deserves love. All romance (and non romance) readers should give this book a read. I really enjoyed this and will request the public library purchase copies.

This book was just ok for me. I liked the premise and I liked Bea and Jamie but I almost think I would like them better in small doses. Their personalities seemed so over the top and Beas stubborness became old very fast.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.
3.5 Stars!!

This was a fun read. I love Chloe's writing and adore her Bergman Series so much.

Things I loved: Autism rep, anxiety rep, fake dating trope, and a slow burn romance.

Things I didn't totally love: Didn't love how some plots got resolved or...the lack of a resolution. Like Jamie's issues with his family, and I felt like a lot of Juliet's plot was all over the place, and felt very rushed. Actually a lot of the back half of the book felt rushed.

Overall I did enjoy this book and so excited for others to get their hands on this.

Chloe Liese can do no wrong. I've said it before and I'll continue saying it until she writes a flop (which I sincerely don't think she's capable of doing).

I adored this book! It has two of my favorite romance tropes wrapped up in a perfect little package: fake dating and enemies to lovers. Beatrice and Jamie are determined to go their separate ways after a disastrous (yet oddly hot) first encounter, only to be shocked when they realize they are being set up by Beatrice's sister and Jamie's friend to date each other. Deciding they won't let the two get away with their plan, they decide to fake date for a while before springing it on their matchmakers that they knew what was going on the whole time.

Unsurprisingly, this fake dating situation turns casual romance turns head over heels falling in love. As with Chloe's other books, the characters are beautifully written. Bea struggles in social situations while Jamie struggles to let go of his control, so of course the two seem like a disastrous coupling, but the way they communicate with each other and ensure they are both comfortable at any given moment shows just how perfect they are together.

Overall, I loved this book so much and am BEGGING Chloe to finish the series with the secondary cast. Jules needs her happily ever after and Kate and Christopher absolutely need to get together.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.
