Grayson and Selena story is a quick read that is laugh out loud funny, fan yourself steamy and as sweet as candy. This book had my attention from the beginning and a perfect story line that kept you interested and intrigued.

This is a hard rating for me. I really loved the story… but some of the writing was a little odd. There were some word choices that made me pause, or just sort confused me. The way the heroine talks at times wasn’t realistic at all. I understand she’s “older” but you just came across unrealistic.

Once I got past that I did really enjoy the story. I love the whole wrong number trope and reverse age gap I do enjoy. So over all it was a good story.

It’s free on profile works if you are interested in reading it.

Well I can honestly say that I totally related to Selena and Grayson’s story, you see I’m 10 years older than my husband. He pursued me and would always tell me I was his queen and that he would always love me! I honestly thought the way you had these two meet was somewhat comical. I loved everything about this book! Very hot and steamy! Believable storyline! References from other books the authors has written! Yep, I’d say all the boxes were checked! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Dani]

Honestly surprised at how much I liked this! Super quick read and well written, it is “spicy” for my day to day but absolutely enjoyed it. My first Lauren Rowe book but I’ll be back to read more! Check her out 💓

Grayson McKnight doesn't have the best of luck when it comes to dating. Single after being with his first ever girlfriend for 5 years, he's trying to "get back in the game", but it just happened again: he was given a bogus phone number. He finds out when Selena Diaz kindly answers his text and informs him that someone gave him her number instead. A fun text exchange happens and Grayson decides to try his luck ands asks her to meet him for drinks. He already knows that she is older than his 25 years and not interested in a relationship, but he just can't help wanting to meet this wonderful woman. If she shows up, they'll see what happens from there. They both show up and drinks turn into a mind-blowing weekend in a luxury hotel. NO strings attached. NO promise of tomorrows. But Fate put them together... and now neither wants to be apart. Wrong number...right guy. 

This book is short and as sweet as Smitten! It's also hot AF, as Grayson is a devoted student of one certain guy Ball Peen Hammer's "instructional videos"! Grayson is first grade boyfriend material and I love that Selena is older, Latinx and a mom. Their times together are equally steamy and swoony! And the epilogue? Awwwww....

So I was expecting a novella since it was free on Prolific Works (head to the author’s page for the link), but instead I got a shortish novel that was INSANELY spicy, witty, and endearing. I mean sugary sweet + spice!

The premise: guy texts number he was given only to find out it was a fake number. He ends up connecting with the older woman who responds to him and they meet up. COMBUSTION.

|| “𝚈𝚘𝚞’𝚛𝚎 𝚜𝚘 𝚏𝚞𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚍𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚌𝚒𝚘𝚞𝚜,” 𝚑𝚎 𝚖𝚞𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚋𝚎𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚖𝚎, 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝚑𝚞𝚜𝚔𝚢. “𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚏𝚞𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚑 𝚘𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝚂𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚊.” ||

This was a 💯 character-driven, light, fluffy, extremely spicy little romance. I loved how Selena was an older, experienced woman and Grayson was the 13 year younger incredibly SWEET and eager young man who was infatuated with her. He treated her like a queen and it was beautiful watching her blossom under his spell.

As an older woman (35) and mom, I really appreciated this story. It’s rare when I really connect with older characters but Selena was fun and flirty and SO FUN. Grayson may have been over a decade younger, but dang did he adore his woman!

Wrong Number Right Guy is an exceptional story that will make your heart sing.
Grayson is an adorable and a little awkward man when it comes to the ladies but his huge heart and hopeless romantic personality all makes up for the awkwardness. He just needs the right woman to see it.
Selena is a divorced older woman with her focus solely on her son. She's not looking for a serious relationship of any kind. No time for the hassle and rollercoaster of a relationship. She's just looking out for her and her son.
When Grayson sends a text to a women he meets in a bar, who he thought was feeling him as much as he was her he's excited. Only to find out he has once again gotten a fake number. However the unknown recipient is kind and understanding. They strike up a conversation and hit it off.
When they meet its almost impossible to ignore the sparks. Only problem is that Selena doesn't see the possibility of them because of their age difference.
This story gives so much to us. Perhaps we all can use this as a way to reaffirm a few things we all should know in our hearts.1. age is just a number and 2. love will find you when it right!

5 outstanding stars!

[Alexandra (alilromanceandthriller)]

Honestly, this quick reverse age-gap/wrong number read was hilarious and exactly the kind of romance I’m looking for when I’m looking for something fast and dirty. I’m a sucker for wrong number romances and this was a perfect novella for that. Grayson is an amazing adorkable hero with a dirty mind and A+ sex skills. I loved that he was unapologetically himself and never tried to be anything other than his awkward nerd self. Selena is the perfect older woman for him, she appreciates who he is and never frowns down on him. I honestly just wanted more from this story, I was sad that it ended so quickly, but for a romcom novella this was great.

Overall Rating: 4/5⭐️

Oh my god. This was such a sweet read!
Grayson and Selena were so amazing together. I loved that this age gap between them didn’t even seem to be an age gap. They both are so mature and understanding. Selena met Greyson by a coincidence and I couldn’t be more happy for their meet! Greyson is a sweetheart and a man that falls harder and faster. This guy and his adorable behavior made my heart swoon. Selena’s confidence and her strong character is a *chef’s kiss*
I loved Selena’s relationship with her son. Even tho, he’s still young, he has well-earned values and I loved how chill he was with their relationship. They make such a great family now!!

Wrong Number Right Guy
by Lauren Rowe

A complete and utter heart pelting love story where I was rooting for the underdog.
I love a happily ever after and this short book delivers ten fold.
How Lauren Rowe manages to create full fledged characters blows my mind.
Its great that a really nice good guy gets the woman of his dreams….and the age gap was totally believable and brilliant and didn’t interfere with the romance, it enhanced it. And yeah…..the loads of sexy times helped too !😏 Makes a gal have to up her lingerie game‼️
Nice one Lauren Rowe, keep ‘em coming.

[Chandra]

This book had me giggling, blushing and swooning all throughout it!

Grayson is given a fake number from a girl at the bar and it just so happens to belong to a single mom who agrees to be his Hot Teacher and show him the ropes to get back into the dating scene after a five year relationship. Selena is soon falling for his goofy mannerisms and contagious smile while learning to take life a little less seriously.

This book was a quick and fun read!

[Megan]

This was a refreshing read to have a reverse age gap couple (25 year old man with a 38 year old woman). I really liked Grayson a lot, he was very mature for his age and definitely a keeper. And Selena was lovely, no pushover and a very strong lady. It was a short read and it kept my attention throughout the whole book. An enjoyable story.

[Deanna]

This was a cute and steamy age gap romance between a 25-year-old man and a 38-year-old divorcee. I loved how it started out with a wrong number text and built from there. I was swooning the entire time. My only complaint is the cover. I would have preferred one her real people covers instead. It would have been more fitting.

[nicandbooks]

When getting the wrong number can lead to a HEA!

I loved the meet-cute between Selena and Grayson and the chemistry and heat between this couple was strong for the whole book. I loved that this felt like a complete romance novel without being the length of one and I feel like we really got to know these two and their relationship. Another great book by Lauren Rowe!

[Ode to my book boyfriends]

Lauren is one of my favorite authors so it's not a shock that I loved this so much. Grayson and Selena's story is fantastic! This older woman (with a teen son) and younger man story is pulchritudinous! Steamy, sweet and an amazing journey!

I knew we'd get a Peenie reference when Grayson was doing "the sure thing", can't ever get enough of the Morgan family!

[Renae]

Another great story by Lauren Rowe! Loved the shout out for Ball peen Hammer! The inclusion of characters from other stories/series is just 1 of many reasons I ALWAYS enjoy reading Lauren Rowe books!!!

[MaryAnn Costanzo]

This is a fun loving laugh out loud story.. I haven't enjoyed reading a story this much in a long time. Selena and Grayson are so much fun. Age is really nothing but a number and you can't tell your heart any different.

[Bre-Book Bre- Landers]

Cute Novella to read and make you feel good.
Love Lauren’s books. Always a great “in between” book to pick up when I’m wanting something on the lighter side.

Grayson was especially adorable and Selena ended up being a perfect match for him. Super cute and quick read

[Anita _booktoread]

Short and sweet, just how I needed it right now. If you haven't read Lauren before, you should know that she has a lot of funny back and forth banter between her characters. There's rarely a quiet dull moment.

[Luetta]

I'm a sucker for this type of story. Wrong Number that turns into something really special. Quick read, but it gave us what we needed 💛

[Bookgeek]

Grayson is such a sweet guy, where can I sign up for a guy like him 😂

[Charli]

Reverse age gap. Grayson was oh so sweet , Selena and him definitely had intense chemistry.

Adorable. Horrible cover, great story and characters.

[Crystal]

He’s given the wrong number by a woman in a bar, and she’s the older woman who he calls by mistake. What happens from there is just wonderful! A great short story!

[Adrianna Bradley]

Totally swooning over here! A huge fan of all of Lauren Rowe’s books and she does it again! Fun, flirty, and overall just makes you want to hug the book after you read it.
