Who needs Mr. Right when you can have the perfect Mr. Wrong?

Ryder Diamond-the town's golden boy-doesn't have time for taking chances, let alone love. Against his better judgment, he lets his buddies set him up on a blind date with a girl who's only passing through town. But temporary or not, Whitney James sets fire to desires he can't control.

Before they know it, Ryder and Whitney are in a supply closet, drowning in lust. She's only in town for the summer-what better way to spend it than in the arms of Mr. Perfect? Except, she's wild and free, and he's Mr. Stability. Which means he may as well be Mr. Wrong.

And her new job? It's with Ryder's sister.

Sex and the inability to keep their hands off each other are the only things they have in common. But this little hook-up has "disaster" written all over it...and the only way Ryder can save his reputation is by avoiding the sweet little firecracker who could ruin it all. 

Personal Thoughts

There are only three authors in the Entangled imprint, Brazen, whose books consistently work for me - Tessa Bailey, Megan Erickson and Joya Ryan. I binge-read the previous books in the Chasing Love series and had so much fun with them. Ryder, the main character featured in Chasing Mr. Wrong, has always been rather uptight, but I knew that his book would be entertaining and I couldn't wait for his heroine to help him unwind. So I went into Chasing Mr. Wrong with much excitement. Like the previous books in the series, it was a winner for me!

Ryder was probably the best part about this book for me. Being the golden-boy of his small-town, Diamond and a member of the founding family, he always had to please everyone because he was always in the limelight. He struggled with that because it kept him on a leash and prevented his more passionate side to emerge. When he accidentally has sex with Whitney, a girl he mistakes for his blind date, in a supply closet, things begin to change and Ryder wonders if it's finally time to satisfy himself rather than the rest of the town. Whitney was the perfect girl for him. She was bitten by the wanderlust bug and was constantly traveling over the country while at the same time battling with the grief of having lost her role model and older sister in a car accident. She was spunky, not afraid to go after what she wanted, and honest. She could be reserved at times, but she slowly started to open up to Ryder throughout the book. I also loved watching her make friends with some of the previous couples in the series as they welcomed her into their tight group.

These friends, especially Penny, Ryder's sister, were the ultimate Ryder+Whitney shippers and this made for some fun scenes. Ryder and Whitney together were one firecracker of a couple. They were sexy as heck and very very passionate. The sexy times in Chasing Mr. Wrong were tension-filled and super steamy. I also enjoyed the more emotional side to their relationship as well and I really enjoyed their conversations, especially. Their relationship did face some obstacles with Ryder trying to resist his attraction to Whitney at the beginning, and also Ryder's reservations because he was nervous about disappointing the town, but thankfully, they didn't last too long and he got over them quickly.

Entangled Brazen fans, if you haven't tried Joya Ryan yet, change that asap! Her books have the perfect balance of steamy and sweet and will leave you fanning yourself and swooning at the same time. Chasing Mr. Wrong was no exception!
