It’s just Rose, her dad, and her two brothers since her mom passed away not that long ago. They are moving into a new home and from the very first pages, you know how sad Rose is to not have their mother with them. She is already lost and feels like she has no control over her life and then Noah walks into her life. Noah’s father brings him and his brother to welcome them and Rose instantly notices him. Then they are invited to join them for dinner and Rose really notices how different the Amish are and she has a few strong opinions about the ways they do things, though she keeps it to herself. She couldn’t imagine her and Noah every being anything but all of a sudden they are giving each other hidden looks and planning secret meetings. Things seem great but as things progress Rose is still pretty much lost in life. How will it all turn out? How in the world will she make it with Noah?

Rose wasn’t the only one to take notice that first day. When Noah first encountered Rose she was disheveled looking and wrestling with her brother, things you wouldn’t see an Amish girl doing. She is different from any girl he would ever know and he loves that. He worries about how different she is and how she does what she wants but that is also what draws her to him. While his parents push him to finally pick an Amish girl to court he only has eyes for Rose. Seeing her means big trouble for him if they were to get caught but he knows he can make their relationship work. He really hopes he can.

Rose was young but I loved how she had goals and dreams for herself. She was a dancer and she also loved horses so she wanted to go to school to be a veterinarian. She may have still been getting over her mother’s death and was feeling sad and hopeless but she still had a fiery personality. Noah was the opposite. He knows where his life is supposed to go and doesn’t question that until Rose shows up. He doesn’t have any crazy plans just wants to continue to follow his Amish ways and lead the path that the Amish do. Rose not being Amish kind of puts a kink in those plans. He was sweet and innocent but was stubborn. Although, he ended up breaking a lot of rules he was still set in his ways and stubborn.

I really loved reading about Rose and Noah’s relationship growing, even though they fell for each other quickly I was still able to connect with them. At times I did feel that their relationship was just a part of being so new to each other and never really experiencing those feelings before but other times I felt like they really were meant to be together. I have to admit though I found myself not rooting for them sometimes. I felt no matter how it ended it was going to be a big loss and much would have to be sacrificed for somebody. I worried what it would all mean for them. I didn’t want to see either of them hurt. If they split it would be devastating to them both but if they found a way to be together it could be just as bad. Things are still iffy since there will be a sequel out in April and I still don’t know how I want it all to end. I just hope I can be happy with it. I sense waterworks in the future.

Expletive. Expletive. Expletive!!!

I really enjoyed Wrong Bed, Right Guy (first in the Come Undone Series) and was excited to continue the series. When I finished Wrong Bed, Right Guy I knew it was the first of the series but I couldn’t seem to find any information on the next book. Even though Ian was briefly mentioned here and there in the first book I was really hoping to get to know more about him. He was away in the army and when mentioned was brought up as being Elle’s overprotective brother. While perusing Netgalley I stumbled upon Chasing Mrs. Right and almost couldn’t contain myself. I requested it without reading the description and as I opened it up and read the first page I squealed in excitement that I was getting Ian’s story.

“…he wanted to soothe her in the same way she’d managed to soothe him. If that meant throwing on a suit of armor and riding off to slay some dragons, Ian was more than willing to do so.”

Oh sweet Ian. After returning home from the army he is pretty lost and on edge. People don’t understand how he is feeling and between his sister throwing him a coming home party he can’t relax at (all the people and the noise gets him panicky) and his mother pushing him to take a job at his fathers company he feels like he is going to lose it. A quick escape from his own party causes Ian to run into (literally) Roxanne. All of a sudden things don’t seem so bad. She relaxes him somehow and Ian doesn’t want to let that feeling go. If only he can stay close to her he might get through this. He has been through a lot. Things we don’t really get to hear too much about but are easy for the reader to imagine. After all of that Ian needed some peace in his life, space, and not people bugging him to decide what he was going to do now. When he is with Roxanne he gets that but it isn’t easy. She doesn’t want to let Ian in but there is no way he was letting her go and I loved that.

“But that’s enough serious talk. Let’s move on to something fun. What’s your favorite position?”

Where in Wrong Bed, Right Guy I wasn’t the biggest fan of Elle I absolutely loved her friend Roxanne. She is so forward and just cracks me up. She wasn’t easily made uncomfortable unless the topic involves serious feelings. She has major romance issues due to some bad experiences and her mothers history. When things get too serious she tries to change the subject from feelings to sex but she can’t help but get close to Ian. Roxanne definitely fights to not fall for him.The last thing she wants is to start believing it just might work.

I really loved the main characters in Chasing Mrs. Right. They were just about perfect and I loved how they interacted with each other. It was both sweet and funny. I also loved getting to see what Elle and Gabe were up to through little glimpses. Ian still got his moments to be the protective brother. He definitely wasn’t a fan of Gabe being with his sister. And of course Nathan was around giving us a little more insight on what is to come in his life. He isn’t looking too good and I am excited to see the cause of this in August (Two Wrongs, One Right August 12th, 2013!) And I am totally missing something… Oh yes, it definitely had its steamy moments ;)

“When his hands fell to her waist, Roxanne laughed. “Drive, Cowboy.”
“You can’t seriously expect me to drive while you’re doing that with your hips.”
She sucked on his earlobe, dragging her teeth over the sensitive skin. “Drive, or I stop what I’m doing.”
“Jesus Christ.” He maneuvered her to one side and took a deep breath that came out totally uneven. “Okay I can do this.”

It's over?! Review Coming Soon
