Lauren Landish's "The Wrong Guy" takes readers on a thrilling romantic journey set against the backdrop of Cold Springs。 With a city attorney as the protagonist， Wren Ford， and a charming construction worker， Jesse Sullivan， as her friends-with-benefits， the story promises a delightful mix of professional responsibility and passionate encounters。Wren's dedication to her role as the city attorney provides a strong foundation for the narrative， adding a layer of depth to her character。 The tension Lauren Landish's "The Wrong Guy" takes readers on a thrilling romantic journey set against the backdrop of Cold Springs。 With a city attorney as the protagonist， Wren Ford， and a charming construction worker， Jesse Sullivan， as her friends-with-benefits， the story promises a delightful mix of professional responsibility and passionate encounters。Wren's dedication to her role as the city attorney provides a strong foundation for the narrative， adding a layer of depth to her character。 The tension builds as she secretly yearns for more in her relationship with Jesse， creating a compelling emotional undercurrent。Jesse's character， head over heels in love with Wren， adds a sweet and relatable element to the story。 His doubts about being worthy of a happily ever after with Wren add a layer of vulnerability that readers can connect with。 The introduction of a flirty， powerful lawyer adds an intriguing twist， injecting a dose of jealousy and competition into the plot。The plot seems to take an exciting turn as a scandalous high-profile split unfolds， elevating the stakes for Wren and Jesse。 The need to protect their town and loved ones forces them to team up， providing a backdrop for personal and relational growth。Landish's writing style appears to be a strong suit， capturing the essence of the characters and the town of Cold Springs。 The promise of a funny and sexy romance， combined with the evolving dynamics between Wren and Jesse， makes "The Wrong Guy" a compelling read。 。。。more

Wren and Jesse story well if only these two would communicate better。 Their relationship takes on a new dynamic， they mesh well， they have banter in this small town romance。 It was entertaining and I can imagine what the audio version will be like。

4。5 StarsI really liked this story。 It can be read as a standalone without missing anything but I did like it as part of the rest of the series。 I also liked how the multiple story lines went parallel to each other and stood on their own equally。

The Wrong Guy by Lauren Landish， book two in the Cold Springs series， is a second chance romance for Wren and Jesse。 Wren thought Jesse was only interested in a friends-with-benefits relationship， while Jesse believed he wasn’t good enough for Wren。 These two have been unofficially together for over a year。 Each does not know how the other is feeling because they don’t take the time to talk about their feelings。 If it wasn’t for some unlikely family drama these two might not have gotten together The Wrong Guy by Lauren Landish， book two in the Cold Springs series， is a second chance romance for Wren and Jesse。 Wren thought Jesse was only interested in a friends-with-benefits relationship， while Jesse believed he wasn’t good enough for Wren。 These two have been unofficially together for over a year。 Each does not know how the other is feeling because they don’t take the time to talk about their feelings。 If it wasn’t for some unlikely family drama these two might not have gotten together。The small town is embroiled in a divorce between a high profile couple which will affect the whole town。 Wren， a city attorney， has to renegotiate a contract for a housing development because the construction owner is part of the divorcing couple。 Jesse is the site manager for the construction company and he and his team of workers are impacted by the legal aspects。 When Jesse sees the divorce lawyer Oliver trying to get friendly with Wren his hackles rise and he decides to let her know that she is his。 Wren and Jesse are a lovely couple who demonstrate how miscommunication can lead to all the wrong assumptions。 However when they stand strong they stand it alright。The twist and turns running throughout the story will keep you on your toes; especially the background about her uncle and his misadventures。This book has everything you would want in a romcom: spice， sizzle， romance， comedy， drama， banter， and a second chance。 I enjoyed getting to know Wren and Jesse and seeing them grow throughout the story; the strength Wren had and how Jesse was rugged， handsome， and kind。 I highly recommend The Wrong Guy to other readers。 I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book 。。。more

Every-once in a while I love a man obsessed book and this is definitely one of those books。 Jesse is obsessed with Wren from the start of this story， and I love how much he doesn’t hide it， even if Wren can’t see it。 Wren wants to fall for Jesse but doesn’t believe his feelings， but I also love how all that was cleared up。 The lawsuit in the middle of this book is so fun and adds so much to the story to where everything felt perfectly paced！

Two hard-headed main characters + miscommunication and lack of communication = one heck of a great book！Even though I don’t read the first book， it was easy to get to know all the characters and dive right into Wren and Jesse’s story。 I would definitely go back and read the first book， now。 I love the sassiness of all the characters。 I laughed out loud more than once and wanted to smack Jesse and Wren a few times， too。 This is worthy of 5 stars！！！
