Mr. Wrong #1
Finding Mr. Wrong
**From USA Today Bestselling author A.M. Madden & Joanne Schwehm comes a uniquely fresh and sexy STANDALONE named a 2018 Book Excellence Finalist**
Here's a tip: never trust a jackass in preppy clothing.
The phrase "trust me" should have been my first clue to hightail it out the door, but hindsight is always 20/20.
So there I was, on a stage with two other men, being asked ridiculous questions by a woman I couldn't see, but whose voice made my pants tighten and not around my ankles.
Before I knew what was happening, I'd signed up for six weeks in paradise, isolated on an island for forty-two days with a complete stranger. And when I finally laid eyes on the sexy brunette who belonged to that voice, a part of me thought this wouldn't be so bad.
I've always been a levelheaded guy. I am a successful, smart, and shrewd businessman. But that was when I was listening to the head above my shoulders. Once the blood traveled south, I always ran into trouble.
She called me Mr. Wrong, and that was fine with me.
Lesson learned: lust always trumps logic.
Finding Mr. Wrong is a contemporary romance stand alone novel meant for readers who are 18+ due to mature content.

➦Another vague review coming your way, people. This one is really hard to rate...
➦There's this social experiment where two complete strangers end up on an island for 6 weeks and try to fall in love. Or something. And there's a money prize if they end up marrying. Right.
➦If you're one of those people who would roll eyes even at the premise of this book STOP. RIGHT. THERE. Pick up Anna Karenina instead, or something.
➦Since I am not one of those people, I shall allow this awesomeness of a fiction into my brain. Anywhoo. Long story short and then you decide if it's right for you:
le positives (for me):
1) the writing is good and contains great banter
2) "arranged relationship" trope which I lurve
le mehgatives:
Book is 40 pages too long. My phone shows that I stopped reading at page 230 of 274. I was actually satisfied with the outcome and I didn't need anymore descriptions of sexy times or the heroine's gushing about how perfect the hero's body is. like... damn, girl! I get it, he's HAWT! But leave something to imagination.
I might just be jealous.
➦And thus, you see my dilemma. If I rate it on the pure fact that I was unable to finish the book it would be a 2 star. If I rate it on the chunk that I did read it would be a 4 star. I settle on 3. If you're a patient reader it might be a good, satisfying book for you.

The book begins with a social dating experiment called Ignite Your Spark...
They leave a man and a woman on an island in a cabin for 6 weeks to see if their spark grows into love...
And if they marry at the end of this six weeks, they also win the money given as a prize.
And when they get married, they cannot get divorced for a year or they will give the money back.
“Welcome to Ignite Your Spark, sponsored by Flame Relationship Services. We believe true love sometimes needs more than that initial spark. It’s not just about striking the match, it’s also about stoking the flames. Via Ignite Your Spark, we bring two people together who are a perfect fit on paper. Once that spark catches, we provide all the necessary tools to keep the embers of romance from flickering out before they can become a blazing fire.”
Our heroine, Brae needs money urgently and that is her reason to join this experiment.
The hero, Jude, is already a very rich man and he never intended to join it. It happens out of his control (a friend’s revenge prank on him)
And whatever their reasons are, I thought it was pretty stupid of them to agree to such a commitment.
***
The beginning of the book was great fun and I really had great time until they came to the island. The period of choosing one man out of three with 5 questions without seeing them were really fun moments of the book!
***
But after they started to live in the small cabin on the island and sleep in the same bed, all the tension dropped as they caved in too soon.
I lost count of the times she clenched her you-know-what parts every time she saw him shirtless and I rolled my eyes when the never-ending clenching changed her mind not to go into a real relationship with the guy and she couldn’t help throwing herself at him.
Also, many chapters were about them doing the chores Flame Relationship Services asked them to do for the day like doing sand castles while handcuffed to each other or going kayaking etc. Maybe doing such dumb stuff in an environment like that would be fun but reading these activities for pages and pages on top of their daily routine of getting up / cooking breakfast / lovemaking / sleeping & snoring really made me sick with boredom. (Yes, she snores every night and he mentions about it in every chapter or so)
Everything goes as you predict, there are no surprises, it is unbelievably predictable.
At the beginning of the book, I predicted that they would eventually fall in love during this experiment --> They did sooner than I expected, though.
I predicted that they would have a fight over something and fall apart for some time --> They did.
What I didn’t predict was the extra 50 pages I had to read after they solved their problems and came together for good. Pages and pages of happy end. That, my friends, was something I didn’t predict at all. It was a torture for me.
Think of 50 pages of this kind of stuff:
Them going to a dinner with friends to announce that they are together for real
Him going to meet her family and asking her father’s permission to marry his daughter
Spending 4 days in the parents’ farm, milking cows and chatting with parents...
Two families meeting at the engagement party, eating, dancing etc
Wedding preparations
The wedding...
Oh, the wedding... Even their wedding wows are 3 pages or something, for God’s sake.
I love a happy end but they were already happy for the 90% of the book already, we really didn’t need a 16th love making scene or so many details about the days up to their wedding. That is what I call a dragging happy end...
2 points for the first 5-6 chapters only!
Safety? -- Of course very safe, no cheating in their paradise! No safety triggers at all...

3.5 Stars
Overall Opinion: This was a pretty light, low angst, sexy read. The whole premise was pretty fun and unique, so that made it enjoyable. The h got on my nerves a little, but it wasn't so bad I would say it ruined the story for me (I'm just tough on my hs). The ending felt a little too stretched out for me. I know, I know! I just can't be happy ;). It does allow time in between their conflict and the HEA -- so there is that! This seems like a book that the safety gang will love because it had no OW/OM drama, no cheating, low angst, and a HEA ending!
Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Brae and Jude's story. They meet when they both are signed up for a "social experiment " that consists of living with a stranger for 6 weeks in a paradise doing tasks and hoping to find love. They both dislike each other right off the bat, and it takes some major adjustments to live together 24/7. They soon find out that there is more to each other than what first impressions suggest, and they fall in love. After some sexy times, and sweet moments on the island they have the real world to deal with and hit some rough patches...but they do get a HEA ending.
POV: This alternated between Brae and Jude's POV.
Overall Pace of Story: Good until the end. I thought it flowed well, and I never skimmed. The end seemed a little too stretched out for me.
Instalove: Didn't feel like it, but they were only together for a pretty short period of time.
H rating: 4.5 stars. Jude. He was a good example of a loveable a-hole! I really enjoyed his character, and I thought he put up with a lot from the h.
h rating: 3 stars. Brae. She was ok. Her reaction to his "betrayal" was a little OTT IMO. I wanted her to get over it sooner.
Sadness level: Low, no tissues needed
Push/Pull:Yes
Heat level: Good. They have some good tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story.
Descriptive sex: Yes
Safe sex: Yes
OW/OM drama: No!
Sex scene with OW or OM: No
Cheating: No
Separation: Yes
Possible Triggers: Not really
Closure: This had good closure with a HEA ending. I still would've liked a jump ahead look into their future though.
How I got it: I got it on loan through booklending.com and Amazon.
Safety: This one should be Safe for most safety gang readers

I like my heroines more immune to the perfection of a male body, or at least who could better hide their sexual desire and attraction to the hero.
With this one I wanted to reach in the book and wipe drool off her chin.
Apart from that it was ok I guess.
Thanks heaven the heroine wasn't a virgin, no OW/OM , no cheating.

Joanne Schwehm and A.M. Madden have delivered an unforgettable hero in FINDING MR. WRONG. Jude Soren is RIGHT on the money. He's the guy you dream about finding. I loved his filthy mouth most of all. 5 sexy stars!
December 12, 2017
Job interviews make Brae Daniels feel sick. She has been to several ones since she quit her job, that she has lost count already. In no time, her savings will all be gone and the last thing she wants to happen is to sleep on the gutters of New York City. Being at this difficult moment of her life, she might just grab any opportunity that will give her money, even if it means she has to be on an experimental dating show for a month and half, with a total stranger.
Brae has her eyes on the cash prize. Everything seems so easy, and she thought she has prepared herself enough, then the most beautiful man with the ugliest answers to her questions happened. Choosing the most despicable candidate is a part of her plan. In that way, she won't fall in love with the guy and just focus on the money. But what if Mr. Wrong is actually her Mr. Right?
Jude Soren has it all. Money, looks, and women going crazy about him. His business is his baby, and nothing else matters in his life more than the market and his clients.He's living the ultimate bachelor life, until his pain in the ass friend thought of playing a prank on him and signs him up as a candidate on Ignite Your Sparks. His name gets called and the spotlight's on him. So what does he do? He plays along and tried to make his answers the nastiest so he doesn't get chosen. Simple, right? Well, that's what he thought, too.
Jude and Brae know what they want to happen before they start this game- the girl gets the money, the guy gets his freedom. Six weeks could be a short time, but not if you're in an island spending all your day with a stranger. Feelings could change, stories are shared, hearts get broken, and intentions are forgotten.
THE HERO
So my dear friends, our hero is a hot Swede who likes to annoy the hell out of our heroine. Yep, you read it right. He's a jerk, but he has some redeeming qualities that will make you swoon nonstop.
Now, look here....
This model's the authors' muse for Jude Soren- a naughty businessman who loves to talk dirty to his woman. Isn't he delicious? Yes, right? I know!
I want to share all of the naughty stuff Jude says and does, but I choose not to, because I want you to discover them yourselves. One thing I can assure you though, never read them in public and please ready your cold shower because this man knows how to bring heat! If I'm being honest, it's TOO MUCH!
Sexiness aside now, Jude is easy to love even though he starts as a full-fledged a-hole. I fell in love with his honesty and his humor. He protects his woman, takes care of her but also personifies the flaws most men usually have. He's sometimes confused to why Brae is mad at him, and I think that's too realistic! Men tend to be insensitive at times, and Jude showed readers that even a perfect hero like him could be an idiot once in a while.
THE HEROINE
Brae Daniels is a sweet and sassy heroine. She's very determined and she always focuses on what she wants. Being stuck in a very unusual situation with a stranger is something she's not very willing to do but once you discover why she would go that far for money, I'm sure she'll touch your heart.
I love my heroines bold but also soft at times. Even though Jude set on off the wrong foot, Brae didn't hesitate to open up to him and give him a chance. She felt love and she never dared stop it. She has her flaws too, if you want to know that. She's sometimes insecure and has her moments but I assure you that the authors made her quirks amusing and not annoying.
THE STORY
"Enemies to lovers" trope is one of people's favorite reads. How can we not love it? I mean they have banters, angry sex, make-up sex and redeeming of bad boy heroes. And those things I mentioned above, Finding Mr. Wrong has them all. ALL.
Also, A.M Madden and Joanne Schwehm's latest work is a well-balanced read. It's fun, really light but extremely sexy! Oh, and before you go saying "Okay, I'll read this because it's light and it won't give me a book hangover", I have to stop you right there because I'm telling you now, Jude Soren will make your next book boyfriends second best. The lines that come out of his beautiful mouth are just too difficult to top.
Lastly, the chemistry of the characters screams HOT! Their banters even made the chapters sexier. I have to stop sharing things now because I might spoil the hot scenes here and you don't want that, right? Let's save the juicy stuff!
Collaborations could be tricky. When writing together, authors should come up with an idea on how to make their story's flow very spontaneous and they have to be consistent with their characters' attributes. It just makes me happy that some authors found their writing soulmates and gifted us with their brilliant talents.
I already adore a few author collaborations, and I think I have a found a new ones to fangirl over. To A.M. Madden and Joanne Schwehm, thank you ladies for writing this book that made me smile, swoon and blush the entire time I was reading it. Jude Soren will always have a special place in my heart, because he's charming and sometimes annoying. But seriously, a huge part of it is because he loves bacon and knows some "sexy" ways of burning it. LOL!

These two authors have an awesome knack for creating a deliciously sexy romance.
Like any true life romance there is drama, tension, lust, misunderstandings but most of all an opportunity to find The One!!
Jude's ability to test Brea's patience limit had me cringing but laughing because even though Brea was quiet she her feistiness came out when needed.
I appreciated their ability to coexist with each other without killing one another. But along with that how the were able to truly get to know one another.
There is plenty of sexiness that had me imagining Jude talking and doing those things to me...let sigh....
Be prepared for a panty melting read that will give you the sexy feels and have you wanting to fingers your own Jude. -Kara, 4.5 Sexylicious Stars

Jude's ability to test Brea's patience limit had me cringing but laughing because even though Brea was quiet she her feistiness came out when needed.
I appreciated their ability to coexist with each other without killing one another. But along with that how the were able to truly get to know one another.
There is plenty of sexiness that had me imagining Jude talking and doing those things to me...let sigh....

I'm really LOVING these two authors writing together! They turned out something pretty AMAZING with FINDING MR. WRONG. It's unique, incredibly sexy, emotional, and swoonworthy to the core! Cover to cover, it was EVERYTHING I could ever want in a 5 STAR ROMANCE!
"I've been told I'm amazing."
"That you are. But you know what?"
"Hmmm?"
I lifted her off the floor, forcing her legs to wrap around my waist. Pinning her against the door, with the weight of my body supporting her, I held her hands above her head. "I think you need to remind me how amazing you are."
Seriously, there is SO MUCH MORE where that came from. Jude and Brae were just combustible together! It's just scene after scene of sexual chemistry bursting off of every single page. This irresistible and unputdownable read will have you swooning from head to toe. The storyline, these characters, the even pace, and the incredible writing, makes FINDING MR. WRONG a must read in my book! It's hard to believe that this is the author's cowritten debut! I just hope there is more where that came from because I'm officially ADDICTED!

3.5 Mr. Wrong stars.
This was a fun story. Sort of a reluctant romance. Brae just quit her job, and is presented with the opportunity to do a social experiment where she can win some much needed money just by going on vacation with some guy for six weeks. Jude is focused on work. That’s about it. Until his now ex-best friend signs him up for a social experiment that he is by no means interested in.
Brae and Jude have a spark from the start. Even though they are reluctant to admit its there. I really enjoyed their back and forth and the sexual tension between them. There are fun side characters. Fun happenings, and an interesting plot. The only reason I took any stars away is because toward the end it just felt like a way too long epilogue. And that’s before the epilogue even started. I enjoyed what was there, but it all could have been much shorter. This story is a good read for anyone looking for a reluctant lovers in a dating social experiment type setting.

Leyendo este libro recordé una serie que veía hace poco en el canal A&E donde las parejas se casan el día que se conocen, matrimonio a primera vista creo que se llama, que es mas heavy que lo que plantea este libro porque aqui al menos le dan tiempo a los mc de concerce por casi dos meses viviendo juntos en una isla, así que por muy increíble que parezca están cosas pasan realmente hoy en día, el libro es divertido, sexy, entretenido, y Jude ummm me tenía tonta con su dirtytalk.
“So, since we’re stuck together, maybe we should get to know each other?”
“I agree. What do you want to know?” He leaned back and spread his hands wide. “I’m an open book. Nothing is taboo.”
“Okay, why the graduated star tattoos?”
“Because the ‘biggest star’ is behind my zipper.” He smirked, using air quotes, his brows waggling.
“Can you be serious?”
“I am serious"

Finding Mr. Wrong
AM Madden & Joanne Schwehm
⭐⭐⭐
Who says no to a hot Swede? Long weeks alone with a hot guy and at the end of the rainbow you're thousands of dollars richer? Count me in.
Brae is jobless and in need of money asap, the good thing is she got an easy way to get the cash.And it's not even cheap cash, like a lot of cash. Just stay an an island, with the man of his choosing and get married.
Only it is not that easy, one night stands doesn't come close to her vocabulary, so he needed to find Mr. Wrong.
Mr. Wrong in the form of Jude Soren. Hot businessman, Mr. Moneybags, make my panties wet and so on.
He is the perfect man for the job, only he didn't willingly signed up for this, he was set up by his friends. He swore off love cause he didn't have the time for it. More like he didn't know what love is in the first place. He is an easy lay whenever wherever he wants to get laid.
What could go wrong in a beautiful island, almost like paradise and be stuck with a beautiful woman that intrigues the hell out of him. He thought being in love could be the worst thing, could it be the worst thing really?

4.5 Fantastic Stars!
Review by Lisa Kane
I loved this book. It's funny and sexy and has a great storyline. Two people duped into entering a contest by their friends who hope like hell they don't win.
Brae Daniels' friends think she would do great in the Flame Dating Service's contest. Six weeks on a tropical island with the bachelor of her choice. And a cash prize-a half a million dollars! She could finally make a real contribution to her parents debt for the family farm.
Jude Soren on the other hand, doesn't even know his friend Kyle has set him up to compete to be one of the three bachelors that Brae will be choosing from-and of course it turns out he's one of guys who are in the competition!
Brae gets to ask questions of the three bachelors, but they are kept offstage where she can't see them. Bachelors #1 and #2 give nice acceptable answers while Jude, #3 says whatever is on his mind.
"Do you men play any instruments?"
Number one said, "Guitar." Hmmm, sexy. Number two said, "no." Number three said, with pride, "Clitoris."
Yeah, she ended up picking number three and that folks is how these two met.
Brae may need the money, but Jude is the owner of an extremely lucrative investment firm. Kyle, (the jackass) and Jude's best friend, Luca help run the firm. He's never been so pissed at winning before. Now he will have virtually no communication about his business for the next six weeks. So he may not have the best attitude going into this experiment.
"All kidding aside, Jude, she's hot as fuck. It's a no-brainer."
Yes, she was. When I first saw her in that tight-fitting black dress, toned legs, sexy curves, and the long, silky sable hair, I envisioned wrapping those locks around my fist. My visual wasn't making this any easier, but that was beside the point. I thrust a finger at him, and said, "I'm still going to hurt you when I get back."
And so Brae and Jude's big adventure begins! The island is the gorgeous the two of them have chemistry out the wazoo and the peace and quiet are relaxing. So what more could you want?
The closer these two get to each other, the more in danger this contest becomes of becoming real. Jude is not looking for that one special person to spend his life with and Brae just needs to help out her parents. But Jude is a man and we all know men will screw up at some point!
"I started this thing determined to find Mr. Wrong, and how apropos that I succeeded."
Oh boy, cue the Tums. I was ready to turn in my Love Me Some Jude ticket, but then I thought, not so fast. Every dog has his day, let's just see how it all plays out.
"You can pretend to be studying that file, but I'm on to you, Soren."
"Really? What exactly are you on to, Benedetto?"
"That you're not the same man who left here almost two months ago. I watched you these past few days, and you can't fool me."
Will Jude get his head out of his arse? Will Brae forgive and forget? Or at least forgive? He is gorgeous, rich and smart....
Our connection, both physical and emotional, may have started with a tiny spark, but has since transformed into a raging inferno.

Finding Mr. Wrong by A.M. Madden and Joanne Schwehm
Standalone Contemporary Romance
4.75-5 stars
What a nice surprise! I have never read either A.M. Madden or Joanne Schwehm, but let me tell you, these women sure know how to write. What a fun, sexy, unique and compelling story Finding Mr. Wrong was! I have no idea how they wrote it together, because there is no sign of two authors, the dual pov story flowed so well.
Brae is going through a real rough patch in her life. After losing her job because she slept with the boss, finding a new one is becoming increasingly difficult. One crappy interview after another has Brae starting to freak out because she has been helping her parents out and doesn’t want them to lose their family farm.
When a friend contacts her to tell her about a last minute opportunity to be in a social experiment game show of sorts, she jumps at the opportunity for 6 weeks on an island to win half a million dollars. Of course, she didn’t read the fine print before signing on.
Jude Soren and his two buddies love to play pranks on each other. Jude set one of his friends up with a woman who wasn’t really a woman, so now it’s payback time. His “ex best friend” forges his signature on a contract for the same game.
It’s set up like the dating game. One woman on one side of the wall, and three men on the other. Brae just wants to get out of this without getting her heart broken, so she wants to pick Mr. Wrong, the guy she is least likely to fall for, but one she can stand for 6 weeks…or more. Jude wants to make sure he doesn’t get picked at all. So the questions begin, and it’s hysterical. He is dirty and crude and totally cocky.
I totally would have picked this guy - even though he came off like a cocky douche, he sounded fun to me! But he was so over the top that when Brae chose him, Jude wondered the reason.
Despite being pissed at hell at his predicament, he isn’t complaining too badly.
And her friends think she chose right as well!
6 weeks on an island with NO outside communication. What will happen? Will they kill each other or fall in love? 6 weeks with no outside distractions is a recipe for murder or sex…luckily the two gorgeous people thrown together chose the latter. But there are a lot of rules. They aren’t even allowed to be apart for more than an hour, and they get new challenges with prizes thrown at them daily. Will the challenges bring them closer or push them apart?
Brae NEEDS to win. She has no choice but to trust that Jude won’t screw her over. After all, he is a successful businessman who doesn’t need the money and who left his company with no notice for 6 whole weeks. She has to put a lot of trust in him. Will he live up to that trust? It seems like he might, or might not.

There were so many scenes that I laughed out loud, like this:
But mostly I read the whole book in one day with a stupid smile on my face. The pacing was perfect and kept me hooked the whole time. It was fun and unique and an all-together satisfying read. I loved the banter, I loved her quirkiness and OCD. Finding Mr. Wrong was a breath of unique fresh air.

His perfect date: His favorite restaurant then back to his place to fuck.
"So, no flowers?"
"I don’t need to bring gifts, you’d have me. But if you’d like something, I could bring a blindfold and cuffs.”
“That sounds like it would be fun for you.”

The Down and Dirty:
I absolutely LOVED this unique, fun and sexy read from AM Madden and Joanne Schwehm. I am having trouble with the rating because it has all the qualities of a 5 star read to me, but I'm not sure it was epic enough to garner the rare rating that guarantees a book gets on my best of the year list. I mean I loved every second of reading it, but it is a fun, light, sexy read more than a huge stand out with major emotional impact. While it didn't give me a book hangover, it is a book I will absolutely listen to again if it comes out on audio. I loved how the couple was put in the unusual situation that has no outside interruptions, forcing them to really know each other. The writing was compelling, and there was never a slow moment. The sex was hot and frequent but never sacrificed story. I am truly hoping that each of the friends get a book, because I would totally like to read more from this author duo!

Finding Mr Wrong by AM Madden and Joanne Schwehm
4.5 stars!!!
This is one of those books that the doctors ordered, my Saturday was totally taken over by Jude Soren and his Sparky. There were tears of laughter, tears of upset, but by the end my grin was as wide as anything and the perma smile stayed there for the rest of the day.
Sometimes, when you have a new collaboration, the change in authors is easy to spot, especially if you read one particular author more than the other. I have read all of Joanne Schwehm’s book and have read a few of AM Madden’s but I have to say the flow and style was seamless and flawless and that made this an effortless read.
Our heroine, Brae, has found herself on tough times. She has just quit her job after finding her boyfriend, who happened to be her boss, cheating on her and she just couldn’t stay there. Brae has been silently supporting her parents who are in danger of losing their farm and home and now that she has lost her job the foreclosure notice is getting closer and closer. Brae gets an email just at the right time, a social experiment of sorts for a cool half a million dollars in prize money. Six weeks on an island with a stranger, all in the name of finding love…but there are catches.
Jude Soren is one sexy Swede and AM Madden and Joanne Schwehm have certainly created a character that will have all the women swooning. Jude runs his own finance company, is extremely well off and is a little like Peter Pan, the boy that never grew up. Jude and his two friends are like frat brothers still, they play pranks on one and other and the latest to be played on Jude was his sign up to this competition. Jude goes out of his way not to get picked, his arrogance and vulgarity on show for all to see, yet little did he know that Brae didn’t want to find a Mr Right, she wanted a Mr Wrong so she wouldn’t fall in love…
AM Madden and Joanne Schwehm delivered a book that will have you laughing out loud. The banter between Jude and his friends and Brae and hers will have you laughing and snorting in no time. The dialogue was on point throughout and it is through this that these two authors nailed that character connection. Even when it is just Jude and Brae that witty, barbed dialogue just cements these as two characters that you cannot help but fall in love with.
At first, these two keep their frosty persona’s firmly in place and it is this “hate you” mentality that really breaks the ice. Once those layers are peeled away on a beautiful island the true Jude and Brae are revealed and opposites definitely attract. The chemistry between these two was ever present, even from when they first set eyes on one and other and both fight it because it is not what they wanted but sometimes love has other ideas.
This book pulled every single emotion out of me. As I said above, I had tears of laughter and tears of upset, because of course, love is never plain sailing. But AM Madden and Joanne Schwehm delivered a book perfectly balanced, a little angst, lots of romance, hot hot hot sizzling chemistry and between the sheets action with two characters that were adorable from the get go. The other characters that these two authors have introduced are comical in their own right and I cannot wait to see where they go with them, I am hoping that there are at least another two books on the horizon as cupid shoots its bow once again. Fantastic job, totally and utterly adored this book.

“What does it say?”
“It says I need to pleasure you…finally, something to look forward too.”
“No, it doesn’t. Give me that.”
“You’re such an ass. It doesn’t say pleasure me. It says you need to please me.”
“Meh, same difference.”

The other characters that these two authors have introduced are comical in their own right and I cannot wait to see where they go with them, I am hoping that there are at least another two books on the horizon as cupid shoots its bow once again. Fantastic job, totally and utterly adored this book.
“Thanks for picking me, Sparky.”

“Please don’t make me regret picking you.”
Imagine you’ve just you’ve just caught your boyfriend/boss cheating on you, you’ve lost your job, your parents are about to lose their home and livelihood. What if you were given the opportunity to spend six weeks on a beautiful Island, no internet, mobile phones or outside communication and you get to spend it with a stranger you choose through an invisible screen? Think Blind Date meets Married at First Sight and you have a rough idea of what Brae is up to in Finding Mr. Wrong.
Fate rears its head for Brae when she is invited to be the lady in question for a dating site experiment where strangers will vie for the chance to spend time with Brae on the exotic, St Johns Island. The premise being; they spend six weeks together, complete assigned tasks, marry and stay together a year and if successful they gain a nice windfall. It’s an offer too good to pass up for Brae.
“What does it say?”
“It says I need to pleasure you.”
“No, it doesn’t. You’re such an ass. It doesn’t say pleasure me. It says you need to please me.”
“Meh, same difference.”
Jude Soren is the cocky, successful sexy Swede who, thanks to his pranking mate, Kyle is one of the guys railroaded into being up for selection on the show but he isn’t interested and answers Brae’s questions in a blunt, dirty and arrogant way to turn her off. But here’s the thing….Brae isn’t looking for love or a long term commitment, she just wants the money, and so…sight unseen she picks Jude.
‘Jude Soren was every woman’s dream. Wow, did he have them fooled. My guess would be he didn’t stick around long after he got what he wanted to find out whether he was, in fact, a dream, or a nightmare. ‘
Hmmm we think we would have picked him too. His answers made us hot and bothered! We’d be more than happy to be left on an Island for 6 weeks with Jude, the sexy, sinful Swede! Mmm mmm.
“I’m an open book. Nothing is taboo.”
“Okay, why the graduated star tattoos?”
“Because the ‘biggest star’ is behind my zipper.”
“Can you be serious?”
“I am serious.”
And…so the fun begins! A lot can happen in six weeks! Can the relationship phobic, man about town, Jude melt the heart of the cynical Brae? Can she change his tarting ways? Will he forgive his friends for putting them up to this? Did she make the right/wrong decision? Oh well, it’s only a year…she can handle it…can’t she?
‘What was it about this man that made him get under my skin?’
We do love an enemies to lover’s story, and if you’re looking for a steamy, entertaining and fun easy read, you can’t go wrong with Finding Mr Wrong. No pun intended. There’s lots of light-hearted banter between Jude and his mates, and Brae and her girlfriends. The chemistry between Brae and Jude sizzles and the writing between these authors is absolutely seamless, it’s a collaboration that works very well, in fact, we couldn’t tell it was penned by two authors.
A perfect weekend read! Now bring on the sweet, sexy Italian and the caddish Canadian…yep, we’re really looking forward to Luca and Kyle’s stories when they release in the future! It’ll be fun to watch these guys fall in love!

There is something about Finding Mr. Wrong. Well, there are a lot of things. I just can’t get it out of my head.
Have you ever read a book and-
1. Just loved every single thing about it?
2. Cannot stop thinking about it?
3. Want to reread it?
4. Are jealous of everyone reading it for the first time because they get to experience it and you wish you could again for the first time?
Finding Mr. Wrong is that book for me. I just can’t let it go. I can’t stop thinking about it. I want to reread it all over again and experience all that it is again. Which says a lot because I never reread books. EVER. I read a book and I move onto the next one. I mean, why reread a book when I have hundreds I want to read? But Jude keeps calling to me, which is an indicator of how much I loved this book.
Finding Mr. Wrong is fantastic. Ann Marie and Joanne totally nailed it. Every single thing about it is perfect. The story is different, refreshing and fun. The writing is flawless and seamless- you will seriously have no idea who wrote which parts. And they sure as hell know how to write a hot as hell, swoon worthy male character.
Let’s talk about Jude. Jude Soren is Mr. Freaking Right. My God, that man. That man and his cocky personality, that man and his mouth (and I mean that in more ways than one), that man and his sweet side. Just THAT MAN. He is so damn funny and so damn sexy and if you don’t fall in love with him, I’ll have to wonder why.
Brae and Jude are just fantastic together. The sexual tension and chemistry between them is off the charts and their banter is hilarious. I loved seeing how things progressed between them and watching their relationship grow.
I’m not kidding or exaggerating when I say that every scene is fantastic. This book gave me so many feels- I smiled, I laughed, I swooned over Jude, and my heart literally pulled in my chest at some of the sweet, tender, romantic moments.
If you want a book that is just perfect and will grab your heart and never let go, you must one click Finding Mr. Wrong!! It’s one of my favorite books ever and an absolute must read!!

OHHHH MYYYYY GOSH! Hands Down that was one reading experience I WILL NOT forget in a hurry. Because that's exactly what I got, an experience of EPIC proportions where I fell in lust, then blinding, soul crushing love. Everything about Jude and Brea was just WOW. I mean at 33% I would have happily gave this book ALL THE STARS. By 44% I never wanted it to end. And that wasn't even half way. What AM and Joanne have done with this book is literally beyond any of my expectations.
From the fun introduction of the characters to each other, to the unique way the relationship starts to build, to the sinfully hot connection both characters have, I am well and truly HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE.
Finding Mr Wrong was in fact oh so RIGHT. This book did more than set a spark, it blazed an inferno deep inside that burrowed itself in and held me captive. My heart and soul are ridiculously happy.
I've been a fan of AM Madden’s books for a long time now, her hero's all hold special places within me and HOT DAYUM the woman knows how to write the PERFECT alpha male. But when teamed with Joanne that alpha male becomes OUTSTANDING. SUPREME. EVERYTHING AND MORE.
Much to my own disapproval, it pains me to admit that I've not read anything from Joanne before but my gosh I will be doing now. The flow of the writing through the book was pristine and precise. It was solidified by a flawless execution that just cannot be knocked. These two are wizards of the writing world but put together they are gods. I want more. No, NEED MORE!
Without a doubt, Finding Mr Wrong is a stunning, piece of art. From beginning, to middle, to end there was not one bit I could critique. Not one bit I would change. It's practically perfect in every way. I laughed, I swooned, I fell so deep in love, I got emotional, I got hot, I got it all and was left in a total state of bookworm bliss. At 33% I said this book got ALL THE STARS and it does, a million times over. This is, without doubt a top read of February and a top read of 2017!

Wow! I am star-struck! I can't remember the last time I ignored all my responsibilities to read a book in one sitting, but it couldn't be helped with this sexy page turner. Finding Mr. Wrong never felt so right! The characters embedded themselves, gripped my heart, and had me celestially swooning. AM Madden and Joanne Schwehm wrote a crisp, uniquely plot driven, utterly irresistible-drop-dead must read. A stunning cowritten debut!
Here are a few of my favorite quotes leaving me pebbled with goosebumps and dizzy from swooning! -Gina Whitney, bestselling author of The Rocker Series.
“I was nothing less than a prick on that stage. Maybe you like pricks? Or maybe my answers were right up your alley and turned you on?”
His proposal: “We’d fly to Vegas, you’d get my name tattooed on your ring finger, because I don’t do jewelry, and then Elvis would marry us.”
Favorite meal: “A can of Reddi Wip and pie.”
Favorite instrument: “Clitoris.”
Last gift given to a woman: “The best orgasm of her life.”

This was a fun and low angst read. It's the kinda read that leaves you happy and sated.
Brae Daniels needs money. That's the main reason signing up for a dating reality show happened. She was determined to choose the worse guy for the show. She refused to pick someone with any redeeming values because she was not falling in love on the island. A handful of questions will seal someone's fate and her own.
Jude Soren was dared into this. Can't believe his friends would do this him. This billionaire swede is determined to not get picked. His replies to the dating questions were so funny and blatantly sexual. He just knew he'd get kicked off and then kick his friends to the curb!
His answers were perfect. He is heading to paradise with a woman he doesn't know, doesn't care to know and will never fall far, ever, so why bother.
This was pretty darn funny. The banter and chemistry between these two was the perfect spark to ignite something. Something that neither one planned on, but that pesky fate had different plans.

Ok, I really ended up falling for the hero, Jude! He's funny, witty & hot as hades (refer to sexy a$$ cover)! In the end, he ends up being everything a girl could want!
Brae, kind of annoyed me at times. I still liked her, but I felt like once Jude proved himself, she was harder on him than necessary. She's stubborn to where he's cocky. He's wealthy, and she's not so much. But in the end, I loved them together!
This was a lengthy story, that left me feeling satisfied. It didn't cut out short on us, once they got together. It went on to tell a bit more of their story, and ended with a nice epilogue.
Looking forward to Kyle & Luca's stories, as well!

There were many things I really enjoyed about this book. It was funny, crazy, hot and drew me right in. However, it did seem to get a little sidetracked and seemed to lose it's focus..for lack of a better description. I did enjoy it overall and would consider another from this pair.

"Keep your eye on the prize."
After having read books by both authors, I was very excited to get a taste of their collaboration, and I was not disappointed. I honestly can't tell who wrote what, it was very seamless and smooth. I couldn't stop smiling as I read and I even snorted and giggled out loud quite a few times. I'm sure that if I had been in public I'd have embarrassed myself. Mr. Wrong is right up there as one of my top reads. I fell so hard for Jude. He is just perfect in every way. Even his assholish behavior is perfect. It's gonna be real hard for another author to come along and knock him off the pedestal I have him on. I'm very smitten with that sexy Swede.
Jude is the last person you would ever expect to end up in the situation he found himself in. He's a very savvy businessman and not much gets past him. Unfortunately, his two best friends, his college buddies that have been involved in his every bad decision, know just how to push his buttons. As they keep trying to one-up each other, their pranks are escalating to a whole new level. While even I was surprised at the lengths they would go to for a laugh, I found myself laughing with them. Their manly banter is hilarious and their close bond is obvious. I can see how their friendship survives in spite of them testing the boundaries as they push each other. At the same time, nothing would keep them from having each other's back. I don't know if Mr. Wrong will evolve into a series or not, but I sure would love to see more of Jude's best friends, they are awesome support characters and would make incredible main characters if given the chance.
Brae is a fun character in spite of her OCD tendencies and her seriousness. Those traits don't keep her from being able to laugh at herself, or to share a joke with her besties. If it wasn't for her financial obligations that are weighing on her mind, she would be a lot more carefree. But life has taken her down a road she never intended to travel and she's having to make choices that are ouside of her normal tendencies. Her friends are shocked when she shares with them what her last resort plan entails. While they support her decision, they are concerned for her. Well some are concerned, while at least one carefree cohort throws out suggestive comments that I found myself supporting, as I snickered in agreement. Brae has decided that she must do what she has to do for survival, regardless of the outcome. She'll be strategic and choose wisely, purposely selecting a Mr. Wrong, knowing that it will go nowhere. She's decided there's no such thing as a Mr. Right and she might as well save herself the trouble of trying to find one. It's a good plan, use her head instead of her harmones. Sounds good, right? But she'll soon find out, "Lust trumps logic."

The dynamic duo of AM Madden and Joanne Schwehm have produced one insanely wonderful book. A romance that will have you laughing and swooning and sighing like nobody's business. Yeah, it's that good!
What starts as a chance to earn some money she desperately needs in order to help her family, Brae Daniels finds herself on a tropical island for the next 6 weeks with the very sexy, very cocky Jude Soren and her life is never the same again. These two play a game of cat and mouse like seasoned pros and it's anyone's guess as to whether they will survive this social experiment or not.
OMG what an absolutely joyful ride this was. Both Brae and Jude hold their own with witty comebacks and smart as hell comments. Their hesitation to make this any more than it needs to be only fuels the heat between them. Their chemistry is wildly hot and between fanning myself and feeling as frustrated as they both did, it's a wonder any of us survived!
In addition, the authors masterfully weave a slew of tender moments amidst all the mayhem. The humor is infectious and proves both Madden and Schwehm are at the top of their game with this book.
I fell hard and fast for both Jude and Brae and couldn't wait to see how it would all turn out. Together with their best friends, this is one adventure I honestly could not put down. The characters are well written and extremely likable. It has all the feels you crave and is quite simply the very best kind of feel good love story.
Very highly recommended and one I could read over and over again. This one is a keeper for sure. Finding Mr. Wrong never felt so right!
A huge 5+ stars!

Let me preface this by I don’t read many co-written books as the flow seems off to me. Not this one.
This book was seamless. Flawless. From one chapter to the next. One character to the next. Jude and Brae were developed perfectly – not rushed and not drawn out.
Now to the juicy part:
Can I abduct Jude Sorenson? Hell, Brae is looking pretty good here. Their introduction wasn’t your standard meet & greet – unless barriers and three questions are your typical way to meet your forever love.
They are opposites that truly attract. His cocky self is all heart. Her quirky behavior endears her to him.
This book has everything. Love. A bit of angst. Laughter. Sexy time. Secondary characters . . . and LOVE.
Great job, ladies. This book should soar.

Finding Mr. Wrong caught my eye when it was released last year. The premise seemed fun and unique. I guess I kind of forgot about this book until recently when it went on sale- and I scooped it right up!
This book was a lot of fun! There are times when I crave a sweet, low-angst romance-usually after reading something heavy. Finding Mr.Wrong fits that bill perfectly!
The premise of this book is unique but also very far-fetched. To enjoy this book, you have to be able to just go with the plot. And once you do, you will be in for a treat. There is fun banter, lots of steam and a sweet overall tone.
The last few chapters of this book are like one long epilogue. It was sweet but may have been just a little bit too much.
Another thing that bothered me was that there was too much emphasis on perfect bodies in this book. I wish authors would tone down the level of perfection of their characters. Yes, this couple was beautiful on the inside and out, but the focus was on the outer beauty.
Overall, this is a great choice for those looking for a unique, low-angst, sweet romance.
3.5 stars!
