seriously romantic: wrong bed, right man by rebecca brooks

you wouldn't think that the wrong bed conceit could endure through a whole series, but it's seriously working for rebecca brooks. in wrong bed, right man we find rose campbell, who we've met in prior books in this series, picking up the pieces of her life after she caught her fiancé cheating on her. when she first meets owen crowley, he's meant to be moving her grandmother's bed and old furniture out of the apartment she shared with her ex. when he realizes what a jerk the guy is he tears up the check and agrees to help her out.

and then he manages to hit on her in a non-creepy way. this would only ever work in a romance novel, because in real life this could never happen. nor would she be working at her ex's ikea-like furniture business who has targeted ads on the small furniture businesses in the area. that seems like a terrible use of advertising money.

but those believability issues aside, the heart of this story is the connection between rose and owen, and it really, really works. these two just work in bed and out of it. the black moment scene, you feel so strongly for both these characters because they are both in the right and wrong. and when he finally comes through on his grand gesture, she comes through with one of her own. on her terms. and it really works for them as a couple.

i think this is my favorite so far in the series. but i'm intrigued about what might be next for amanda, who pines for her co-worker, but part of me hopes to see something a little different for her.
