This was a fun, fast paced, lighthearted romance with some quirkiness to it. Sarah asks her office BFF, Ryan, for help in getting her boss (and Ryan's longtime best friend,) to fall in love with her. Grudgingly he agrees to help, but while he's doing that, he has his own plan to get Sarah to fall in love with him. He's been wanting her since the first day they met at work, but she has no idea. Even if she did, he isn't the guy for her since she is ready to get married and start a family, and he is adamant in his 'No Relationships' rule he made for himself after a bad breakup, but that won't stop him from trying to win her heart.
It's not a novella, but it is shorter than many books (at least it felt that way since it reads pretty quickly.) The story itself, moves fast as well (not filled with unneeded fluff.) There are plenty of laughs along the way. Some 'awww' moments. A few cringe worthy ones too (in a laughable way.) The characters are fun and compliment each other. Although love and a person's heart this isn't something to take lightly, this isn't too serious or overly emotional. There are a couple steamier scenes, which you may want to steer young eyes away from, but overall I think this book is ok for the 16-17+ readers.

Falling for Mr. Wright was a fun romantic holiday read. Beware that it’s a bit steamier than Robyn’s other novels, but relatively tame on a major steamy scale. I loved the friendship between Ryan and Sarah and I enjoyed the progression of the story and slowly learning about their backgrounds and what brought them to where they are today. This was a bit of a festive holiday read, without being a major Christmassy book and I loved the little surprise at the end.
Putting down roots and creating the beginnings of a long and loving relationship is always so inspiring. This book will make you laugh and grimace and laugh some more, and it’ll make your toes curl a bit too.
On a side note, this book made me hungry and left me craving all the yummy sweets Ryan’s sister baked throughout the story. If you enjoy women's fiction filled with a little bit of drama and a good dose of sexual tension, then this is one you won't want to miss!
