Wrong Date, Right Guy
She was waiting for her blind date. Then fate interfered.
Ford
I didn't even want to be at this Halloween party. But I agreed to one drink to keep my teammates happy.
Then I see her. She’s wrapped up in the perfect package; a vision in her mummy costume, with a laugh that makes the crowded club fade away.
The best part? She doesn’t know who I am. And for once, I want to keep it that way.
Except when the truth about my hockey career reveals itself, everything changes. Now, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to prove that even though I’m the wrong date, I’m the right guy.
Willa
I came out tonight because my friends set me up. Instead, I found him.
He’s charming, quick-witted, and way too handsome for his own good. A bit of adventure in my otherwise quiet, history-filled world.
He draws me in instantly, yet I’m not sure if it’s the man I’m falling for or the mystery he represents.
When I learn the truth about who he really is, I start to wonder if our connection was real at all, or if it still could be.

The perfect little Halloween novella!!! I love Kiira’s writing and the characters she’s created. Willa and Ford were honestly so perfect. I always thought I didn’t like insta love…but every single time it just hits SO GOOD! And the Halloween party and the costumes and them going to the museum! And then bonding over their love of history! It was so so perfect!
If there’s one thing about me is that I love a MN reference!!!! Both Ford and Willa are from MN which means this is an automatic LOVE for me 😂 I truly am a simple girl! And I of course knew Kiira has a fictional MN hockey team in her universe! But I still get excited every time!

Spice: open door, but mild
Format: ebook (novella)
Super cute! I loved how The Mummy was tied in. These two nerdy people had excellent chemistry. This was just long enough. I loved that instead of having them saying I love you after one night she just played on how they felt strongly for one another. I know instalove is common in novellas, but sometimes it's too fast. This takes place on Halloween, but it can definitely be read whenever.

,, Wrong date, right guy " K.H.Anastasia
To krótka książka więc jest idealna na wieczór z herbatką.
Czyta się ją szybko i przyjemnie, a chemia między bohaterami jest wyczuwalna od samego początku 💫
Moje serce skradł Nolan 🏒💙 – szczególnie kiedy postanowił jej poszukać kiedy Willa z spanikowała🥹🤍
Romans jest według mnie bardziej słodki niż pikantny.
Wątek hokejowy pojawia się raczej w tle 🏒.Głównie wtedy, gdy Nolan wspomina o swoim zawodzie.
Relacja rozwija się bardzo szybko. Wiadomo są osoby które lubią takie tempo rozwoju relacji natomiast ja zdecydowanie wolę, gdy bohaterowie poznają się bardziej stopniowo.
Mimo to była to bardzo przyjemna historia.
Polecam, jeśli macie ochotę na krótką, lekką książkę przy której możecie się odprężyć.
⭐ 4/5 – ksiażka jest przyjemna w czytaniu ale z miłą chęcią przeczytałabym dłuższą wersję z bardziej rozbudowaną relacją Nolana i Will💙(na przykład jak Nolan zabiera Willa na swoje mecze hokeja albo jak przedstawia ją swojej drużynie) Pamiętajmy że jest to tylko i wyłącznie moja prywatna opinia.
Dziękuję autorce @khanastasiawrites za możliwość przeczytania tej książki.

Wrong date, right guy by K.H. Anastasia is the first book in the Hockey Halloween anthology. Each book in the anthology centers around a trope and costume.
Trope: Blind Date (Gone Wrong)
Costume: Mummy
Wrong date, right guy follows Ford who didn't want to attend a Halloween party but did so to keep his team happy. He's about to leave when hes intrigued by a mummy.
Willa happened to be at party dressed as a mummy, waiting for a date in a costume that matched hers. Ford happened to be dressed as Brenden Fraisers character in The Mummy Movie.
Although not her originally intended blind dare, the two chat and hit it off over a drink at the bar. When her original date shows up, things get complicated.
I loved the banter between Willa and Ford, it felt like you were right there in the bar with them, watching this all happen.
I enjoyed the lead up and the eventual spice. I loved how much The Mummy Movie came into play in this book. Fun Halloween read with a history/movie vibe.

This was such a friggin cute little Halloween inspired romance meet!! 🥹💕 I love a quick novella with insta-love, cutsy moments, addictive nature, and this one was perfect for getting into the spooky season mood.
The romance was sweet, and I honestly love how you can get invested in a couple in such a short amount of time! Willa & Nolan are just adorable and have sooo much in common it will leave you squealing. Also got to love how K.H Antastasia adds a little layer of drama and what ifs!
Definitely a cute little read if you’re in the mood for something short, romantic, and Halloween-themed! Thank you sooo much for this lovely novella
