Mr. Wrong by Tammi Labrecque
4.0
Jenna Can't Go Wrong with Mitch!ππ
For many years, I've been as much a General Hospital fan as I am a voracious romance reader, so one could understand my excitement about finally getting an opportunity to read Tessa Blake's "Mr. Wrong." (By the way, love how Tessa pays homage to my favorite GH character of all time: Sonny Corinthos, played by Maurice Benardπ).
Just like my favorite soap opera, this story had me "all up in my feelings!" One minute, I was gushing and smilingππΆπ (Mitch), and then the next minute snorting and laughingπ (Kari, Ryan--Jenna's best friend & co-worker). But I'm seriously trying to forget those dreaded in between moments that had me "feeling some type of way" because of my constant frustration with Jenna!! I was so thoroughly pissed with her, I wanted to throw my kindle!! I mean there was some serious eye rolling going on when it came to Jenna's scenes in this book. I reminded myself of times I would stand in front of the TV yelling at the GH characters to "get it together!!"
Highlight: Mr. Wrong he is not!! Mitch. Is. Awesome.π He's smart, charismatic, sexy--has a voice so smooth and a smile so gorgeous, it seems to turn any woman (or man) into molten lava. (Honestly, I hope the audio version of this book matches the voice I imagine in my mind based on Tessa Blake's amazing description.ππ) Mitch sees Jenna and turns on the charm. It never comes off sleazey, just purely sexy and confident. He's so into her, but this isn't quite clear to Jenna *eye roll.* But Mitch is nothing but sweet, kind, and still patient with her--so, so patient...Dude deserves some type of an award for wanting to deal with this chick!! Again, *eye roll.*
Jenna! Jenna! Jenna!π This woman practically gave me "reader's whiplash" and "reader's mini strokes." Again, with reading "Mr. Wrong," I'm reminded of the classic soap character who's always screwing up things by jumping to crazy conclusions; the characters we "love to hate," then maybe "love to love," then back to "love to hate," -again-because they make the most terrible decisions based on those very WRONG conclusions. I want to change the channel because I just can't bear to watch the clusterf*** of events to come, but I don't look away, or change it because I HAVE to know what happens next!!π
Mitch is all wrong because he doesn't fit her "criteria" of a "Mr. Right." She could barely explain why Mitch is so wrong, but gives all the boring reasons why her douchebag ex is so right. *Eye roll--again.* (Insert Scream of Frustration Here.) If this was IRL & Jenna was standing in front of me with an actual "physical" list, I'd slap it out of her hand, roll that thing up, then smack her upside the head with it! π€
The Proverbial Straw That Breaks the Camel's Back (For me): The phone call from the douchebag ex and everything else that follows!! Really Jenna?!!π²π
Enough already! Readers will have to take a peek for themselves to see how it ends, but I've definitely enjoyed this story, even with its "Jenna Moments"...Mitch leaves a lasting good impression and Jenna...well, she'll most likely be a character not so easily forgotten.
I didn't want to give any spoilers, but I will say this: Kudos to Mitch for finally letting Jenna have it and saying, "Enough is Enough!"
Psst. *Whispers* "Mitch...call me if things don't work out with you two. Like, if Jenna screws up again..." *Shrugs shoulders* "I'm just saying..."
