Wrong
Brother, Right Match (Anyone But You, #3) . . .
Lite-hearted holiday romance with
loads of fun sprinkled in. The charm of one man makes you confess the ultimate
of your foibles of life. The man that appears to be the perfect match for you
is not. Time goes by and you feel safe that you have no problems from the tiny
confession. That is until you meet the other man again and it happens to be the
brother of the not so perfect match you are with. What do you do?
This was a witty read that shows
what it’s like to have the utter belief that you the man you thought was your
future is not your future and the one that is your future is his brother. I was
anticipating the love story and connection of two individuals that were perfect
together. I got a lot of Kennedy being with the wrong man. The right man
watching from the sidelines. When they did get together, I was so like that
took too long.
Holiday read that will incite your
passion and laughter. This was a fun story on the wrong man you’re with and the
right one you need.

Matt
Ellis is trying to be on his best behavior for his mother—it is Christmas,
after all. But when he recognizes the beautiful woman from the elevator—the one
he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about for months—his best behavior is
being held by a thread. Matt’s always sacrificed for his family, and nothing is
more important than their happiness, but the more time he spends around
Kennedy, the more he wonders if her supposed "right match" might just
be the wrong brother.

Kennedy grew silent again. She began chewing
her bottom lip. His eyes automatically dropped to her mouth, and for the
forty-eighth time since being trapped together, he thought about kissing some
sense into that anxious brain of hers.
“You’re
right.” Her words were so soft, he wasn’t sure she’d spoken them. “He’s
wonderful. Really awesome. But honestly…” She gave him a sharp if slightly
tipsy look. “I’ve never said this to anyone, so you can’t tell a soul.”
He
gave her a droll look. “Who am I going to tell?”
She
stared him down for several seconds as if judging his sincerity. “Cross your
heart?”
“Cross
my heart,” he repeated, making the motion against his chest.
“Okay.”
She bit her lip. “It’s just that…sometimes I doubt we’re meant for each other.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I know it’s crazy,” she murmured.
“Especially since I can’t afford for my software to be wrong.”
Before he could respond, the lights overhead
flickered. Her head whipped up toward the ceiling. “Thank God!” The elated
expression on her face reminded him of a child watching fireworks go off.
“We’re finally going to get out of here,” she squealed.
“Yeah…awesome.”
Matt swallowed hard. He should be happy, too. Why the hell wasn’t he happy?
He’d finally be out of this cramped elevator and away from this anxiety-ridden
woman with her boyfriend issues. But instead, all he could do was bank down a
strange sense of disappointment at the thought of her walking through those
elevator doors and him never seeing her again.
He
stood first then held out his hand to help her up. Her palm met his, and he
tugged just as the elevator began to move again, causing them to lose their
balance. His back slammed against the wall, and she fell into his arms.
“Nice
catch,” she said with a laugh, obviously still feeling the effects of the
champagne.
Matt
held on to her, his heart beating wildly. Having her in his arms ignited all
kinds of thoughts, all kinds of feelings. Naughty thoughts. Good feelings. His
gaze captured hers for a long moment until eventually her smiling face grew
serious, too. Then his conscience tapped him on the shoulder.
What the hell do you
think you’re doing?
it said. You’ve both been drinking. And
she has a boyfriend.
He’d always hated his conscience.
“Matt?”
Matt didn’t move. The elevator was going to
open soon. They would be free to leave separately or leave together. There was
still a choice. Growing up, he had always been the one to toe the line. Do what
was right for everyone else in his life. But so help him, he didn’t want to do
that this time. Maybe it was the alcohol, but he wanted her. True, the woman
had a boyfriend—a neglectful
boyfriend—but still, there were rules for that sort of thing, weren’t there?
Like what if…
Screw it.
He
kissed her.
