The Wrong Kind of Love by Lexi RyanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Two Broken Souls
I haven’t read a Lexi Ryan book is forever, I can’t think why as this was a really enjoyable romance.
Nicole is getting married to the man of her dreams, except she thinks he might not be, because she heard him on the phone the night before when he told someone “he couldn’t stop thinking about you.” All is confirmed as her identical twin sister throws up over her dress and announces she’s pregnant with his baby.
To escape, Nic heads to the airport and finds herself with the wrong handbag. She heads off to her sister’s new job as a nanny several hours flight away. This was the not the only disaster of epic proportions that Nic has had in her love life, but she needs to be away from the sister that she loves, but chose to betray her.
In the blurb it implies that Nic sets off to take her sister’s place, but that isn’t the case, which I was pleased about because I really hate that kind of thing. Apparently Nic does too, as she feels that she’s been left to deal with the fallout from another one of her sister’s schemes.
Ethan is a doctor. He has a gorgeous 6 year old daughter and as he is called out to deliver babies in the middle of the night he needs a nanny because his mother is going travelling. His mother helped raise his daughter, after his wife died 3 years previously. Ethan only has casual relationships because he won’t let his or his daughter’s heart be broken again, when someone they love leaves them.
The story covers what happens when two broken souls meet, don’t want a relationship, but are really attracted to each other and then force them to spend time together.
I really liked Nic, she really tries hard to do the right thing. She puts others before herself, which though in moderation is a good quality, is not when it jeopardises your own happiness. She is trying to learn that lesson and when Ethan is obnoxious, he makes it really easy to tell him off.
We see a lot of progress on each of the main characters’ emotional problems before the HEA, which I really like. I also really liked the family, which was obviously intentional as this is the first book in a series about the large and gorgeous family.
It was well written and the characters were sympathetic. The set up is a bit outrageous but it was handled with deft hands that made it believable.
I may well give the next book a go.
