So Wrong It's Right

Love in Brazen Bay #3

by Brill Harper

What would you do if the boyfriend you totally made up to get your sister off your back showed up at your place of employment?

Free-spirited Stella Stone has always been the wild child in her family, but even she is surprised at the amount of trouble she's found herself in this time.

Christopher Lockwood was a random name she chose from the internet. How was she supposed to know he would end taking a temporary position in the veterinary office she manages? Now she somehow has to keep the uptight, tie-wearing, self-contained Christopher from figuring out that the whole town thinks they are dating, and somehow also keep the whole town from figuring out she's a pathetic liar with a fake boyfriend.

Oh, and it doesn't help that he's a major hottie under those Clark Kent glasses and stern demeanor. In fact, something about his need for control brings out Stella's inner brat, especially when he decides she needs a little discipline.

Too bad there's no such thing as a secret in Brazen Bay. Not for very long.

Author's Confession: This is the most opposite-y opposites attract book ever with added fake relationship crack. Stella is a fan favorite and Christopher is the Alpha Nerd Hero you didn't know you needed in your life. You are going to love the surprisingly dirty dude under the restrained and inhibited mask he shows the world. I mean unf, am I right? He's the only one who could keep up with our deliciously nutty Stella and give her a worthy HEA.

She especially likes to writes book about quirky, awkward heroines and alpha bad boys. Well, except that they are really alphamallows once they fall in love. Seriously--these heroes only have one weakness, and it's sticky, sweet love. They don't let anything stand in the way of taking what belongs to them. Ooey-gooey marshmallow hearts in big, burly dominating dudes. What's not to love about that?

This is the second book that I have read of Ms. Harper and I am loving it just as much as the first book that I read. So Wrong It’s Right is book three in the Love in Brazen Bay Series. Stella and Christopher were such a great couple. They meet in the most fun way. Stella decides to make up a boyfriend to keep her sister off her back. She is reading an article about a veterinarian so she uses him as her fake boyfriend. She is in for a surprise when she gets to work and her fake boyfriend is all so real. He is actually there covering for her boss who needed to step away from the practice for personal reasons. The only solution is to have a fake relationship but will it stay fake for long. This was a fun read and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Jenny Nordback narrates the audio book of SO WRONG IT'S RIGHT and what an absolute treat to have her sultry voice in my ears! I believe this is Norback's first venture in narration and with a little work on making character voices a little more distinct I hope she continues on in this line of work!

As for the story, this is a classic buttoned-up, secretly-jacked nerd who falls for the "woo woo" sparkle loving, glitter gel pen using, sunflower who despite her flashy style runs the local veterinarian clinic like a tight ship. The fake-dating scheme was funny and overall this was an enjoyably dirty romp.

Thank you to Jenny for providing the free audio book for review!

these books are the equivalent of watching trashy romance movies and just having fun like don’t think too much about it babes!

her: he’s so controlled and uptight. he’s too—
meanwhile him: i pull back and connect my fist to his nose before i realize what i’ve done. and then, when i do realize what i’ve done, i slam him into the post. “you fucking say her name again, and you won’t have any teeth left.”

i love (seemingly) unrequited feelings so bad like yes let one half of my ship think the person they fell in love with doesn’t love them back! make their heart ache please! 😁🫳🍿

“look at those glasses. thick, black frames...clark kent would be jealous.” as clark kent’s publicist, i assure you he would not be. he fine as hell already. but love the superman references in this thank yeww!

so anyways me when i fake date a guy for a week then he buys me my dream house … any takers on making this reality for ME?

Sweet, sexy and funny story with a side of feels. A Hero that comes off as Beta but is actually Alpha when he loses control and he so does when he met his match in this opposite attracts fake boyfriend romance!!

The MCs are really likeable and the secondary characters are great too. Yeah so what if it’s insta lust and they fell in love quite quickly, IDC. It’s just what I needed after a series or a heavy read.

[Jazzysmum · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just loved this one. sweet and light and so enjoyable.

[Christie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the opposites attract thing happening between Stella and Christopher, and of course the steaminess too. I liked how well the characters were developed for such a short read. I think it would have been great if the author had explored Stella's character more and how her family and initially Christopher didn't take her seriously. I still think for a short read that the author managed to do a lot with the characters and plot and I really enjoyed this overall! Brill Harper is definitely a guilty pleasure author for me and I'm excited to move on to the last book in this series soon!

“I see stars, Stella.” Aww, this was weird and quirky and OTT and fun

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Three or four star? I couldn’t decide. I liked it but not as much as the last one and I was so tired of the phrase “oh my goddess” that by the end I was annoyed. I liked that she was quirky but at times I just found her annoying. Plus, she pretty much caused all the trouble so I thought she should have been the one with the grand gesture to show the H how much she loved him instead of the other way around.

⇡👗 2 stars 👔⇣

I have a weakness for the fake-relationship trope so I had to read this. The blurb was promising but the actual story was not!

The book started well, our introduction to Stella was very funny. She is funny. But with time funny becomes annoying and boring. I think romantic comedies are not for me—I can’t even stomach watching the genre in movies—so why did I read this? Oh yeah, my weakness. 𝚂𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚊 hides behind her funny self and pretty often I felt she was being childish even when she was thinking or talking to herself. 𝙲𝚑𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚙𝚑𝚎𝚛 seems to have DID, his hot-to-cold attitude change was so abrupt I got whiplash, especially when he’s having sex he’s another person, totally different from his day-to-day existence. And don’t start with his sex talk, I cringed every time. It just didn’t feel natural, it felt forced.

Now that we’re talking about sexy times, even if they do the deed quite early (for me) in the story I didn’t like the scenes. I couldn’t feel the chemistry, sorry. I tried but nope. With the sudden appearances of Christopher’s “Dom” persona, I was left wondering what the hell was happening. Not sexy at all.

So yeah, I think this writing style is not for me. The idea was good but…I didn’t care about the characters or the story. I would have appreciated more background before they started to have sex and maybe exploit more the family aspect of the story.

DNF @ 30%

I was a bit burned out on Brill Harper's books before but wanted to try to finish the series at least. However, I just don't care about the characters and I don't really like Christopher. On paper he should be checking all my starchy, nerdy hero boxes but it's not working for me this time. I was already on my way to DNFing when we got to Christopher trying to essentially blackmail Stella into keeping up their fake relationship or he'd tell everyone in town it was a lie and embarrass her. After a few other nitpicky things I didn't like about him, it was just too much. Oh well, not for me.

So Wrong It's Right (Love in Brazen Bay #3) by: Brill Harper  
 


What began as a jest becomes more than a complication. So Wrong It's Right kept a smile on my face. Stella and Christopher find themselves in an awkward situation. For Stella, a tiny random lie, brings her face to face with a stranger. Brill Harper brings the funny along with a few heart tingles.

Omg so in love with this book! I loved the two main characters dynamics. The sweet, fun, curvy girl meets the stoic, rigid vet. She turns his life upside down, sideways and on its axis. This book is fun, a bit tragic, and a whole lot romantic. Loved it from beginning to end.

I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

This is a fun, steamy and entertaining read. Stella made up a fake boyfriend but what will happen when a man with the same name begins working at the same vet office as she does. This is a great opposites attract read with loads of drama and lots of fun. I really liked it.

[Domi Nika · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was too sweet/WEIRD, especially the main H.🍬🍭🍰🍧🍨🍩🍪🍫🎂

Main h was sweet too, little bit crazy in a fun way. She pretended to have a boyfriend when her sister told her to také someone to her wedding. She Is like OMG, don't ask me again please please please to I'm seeing someone! ♥️

And blurbs the name of some vet from different city. 😎

She works in some vet clinic myself and when her doc has family emergency, they called HIM.📞

And the chaos and fun starts...🤯

After her father told him to go to the golf⛳, her sister invites him for wedding 👰 and one of her ex tells her how her new boyfriend is with her cause he pities her🫢...She raise her words and everyonewin the club tells that Christopher Lockwood or something like this, is the best boyfriend and lover She ever had! 😀🫣

He hears it and kisses her in front of everyone, just to prove the point 😎

She tells him than about her little lie and he's like I'll play it with you...😗

So they do.😎

He was kind of conservative, she was the opposite. He fell in love, as she did too.

But man, he was tooooooo sweet And WEIRD.

On the outside he was this serious man and than they had sex And he was DOM. Like when did it happen?

It was cringy.

And the end...it was TOO MUCH for someone so conservative as Christopher was.

Zero chemistry!

It bothered me a lot! 🙄

[Magen Aucoin-Cassedy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Look, Brill Harper has a brand and she’s stays on it. Sexy alphamallows and heroines you’d want as friends.

Fat girl has a crummy ex, a pushy family, and a community that sees her love of glitter and color as vapid. Uptight Clark Kent-esque veterinarian sees an irresistible girl who’s way too messy.

It’s great. It hits the notes it’s supposed to, when it’s supposed to. And I absolutely loved watching Christopher fall in love with Stella.

[Bette Stanek · Rating 3 out of 5]

Like the other ones in this series, So Wrong It's Right is entertaining, steamy, and quirky (especially Stella). Once again, we're dealing with complete opposites. But, hey, they attract, right? In this case, that's an affirmative. This one is fun and you can finish it in a day of solid reading or two if you actually work.

[Chanel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun read, especially after reading a psychological thriller. Christopher’s very normal, boring life is turned upside down when he meets carefree, glitter loving Stella. She is as colorful as the clothes she wears. These two are complete opposites that share hot bedroom scenes and a love of animals, but do they a chance at a real relationship?

[MPT · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a Sassy and Fun read. Stella and Christopher chemistry was hot and dirty...The insta-love was sweet and light and enjoyable. If your looking for a fast and hot read this is your book! 3 1/2 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️


Jenny Nordbak did a great job narrating this story!

Grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, enemies to lovers with some fake dating too = laugh out loud, sexy hot story with the cutest h/H couple! Thoroughly enjoyed this read.

A fun, entertaining, steamy chemistry read. The characters are engaging, have sizzling chemistry. They are so different but they work. I enjoyed this book, it is the third book in this series. Going to be on the lookout for more.

I loved these 2 characters. Stella and Christopher made me smile, laugh and just get that gooey feeling in your heart. This was a great match. Best couple so far

This one was just ok for me. Very sweet story, likeable characters. Light and predictable. But didn't really do much for me other than pass the time.
