I Don't Wanna Be Right

by Alisha Yvonne

Roman Broxton has it going on for himself in the good looks department, and he even has the lucrative career in which aids his ability to keep the ladies flocking at his feet. Since money is no object and women are the subject, sex for Roman is a warranted consequence, earning him the playah's degree he so rightfully deserves. But, what Roman doesn't see coming is a dose of his own medicine. That remedy comes in the form of one Holiday Simmons, a force which causes Roman to rethink his womanizing ways. Holiday Simmons is a sexy sr. financial analyst, former colleague and friend of Roman Broxton. Until Holiday, Roman's never known anyone with all the makings to possibly be his wifey. The two become a couple, but hard luck begins when Roman discovers his good looks and charm alone isn't enough to maintain such a headstrong woman. Worse than that, double misfortune lies within the possibility of Holiday leaving him for his best friend. What happens when the tables are turned on a player? He could either wallow in the bed he's made, or he will rock the world surrounding it. For Roman Broxton, both depictions are likely and extreme scenarios.

I was upset because I felt like I was reading the 1st book over again, just from the male pov. It was ok, but I initially thought it would pick up where it left off-not start over again.

I Don’t Wanna Be Right

The reason why I kept reading this book is because Roman Braxton wants this girl name Holiday Simmons. He has been working with her for a while now, but he wants her but she doesn’t want him. I Don’t Wanna Be Right was interesting and funny and worth reading. You really don’t want to stop reading this book because that’s just how good it is.
I believe this author wrote this book to show how people react when they fall in love with somebody, but they can’t have them so they fight for them. When they get to attach they mess up and act a fool. The part in this book that was so captivating was when holiday went back in forth to Roman’s best friend and Roman. Then when she holds her whole conversation in with roman and then she finally told him that she slept with roman’s best friend. And roman was out of town doing work but he was with a different woman at the time.
That’s why I think Holiday is my favorite character in this whole book because she played a lot of her feelings off and played hard to get. It was fascinating I would have never thought she would have pulled it off. Well until Roman found out she was cheating on him. My least favorite character in this book was the best friend because he should have just let roman have Holiday instead of losing his friendship over a girl.
If this book was made into me movie I would watch it all the time especially if they put Holiday Simmons in there and if Roman was in there to. If the girl from his trip was in the movie to that would be funny. Because she the one that tried to kill him because he hit her and quit her.
“Who’s that woman in the background roman, best friend said.” That’s when Roman got caught by his best friend and the same night he slept with holiday. The people that would want to read this I tell you you’re going to like it.

This book was confusing the way it jumped around but it was good once I figured it out. The characters were so selfish and emotionally deformed. I must admit it really made me leery of crossing the boundary of becoming lovers with a friend. I just truly wondered what happened in these peoples lives to make them so crazy. The majority of the characters although college educated were so insecure and just plain lacking in common sense it made my head spin. I had to put this book down several times just because I was so pissed at the characters and their total lack of common sense. I would recommend this book because overall it was full of twists and turns and as a cautionary tale of what could happen to anyone in the crazy mixed up world we live in.

I loved this book, it was not a boring scene in it. It teaches you not to try to be with two friends at one time.
