Wrong by Stevie J. Cole and LP Lovell

Title: Wrong

Author: Stevie J. Cole & LP Lovell

Wrong by Stevie J. Cole and Lp Lovell is exactly that.  Wrong.  It was so kind of the authors to give you a warning of what’s to come right there on the front cover.  Because dear lord almighty, this book will have you, at times, feeling as though you may be going to hell for your reading choices.  In.  The.  Best.  Way.

The characters are morally questionable.  Especially Jude, the dangerous bookie who rules his ‘kingdom’ with an unforgiving hand.  He’s handsome, yes, but cruel and, in fact, a murderer.  Readers must be able to put aside their scruples for the greater good of an unbelievably sexy story.  Victoria actually starts off with all her ethical ducks in a row, but it isn’t long before Jude’s corruption wisps away whatever goodness she once had inside of her.

This is not the romance novel that will have you feeling warm and giddy.  Wrong will have you sitting there running a hand over your neck and vaguely wondering whether it’s possible for one book to set the feminist movement back seven steps all on its own.  It’s that ridiculously wrong, but god, for some reason I wanted to keep reading and reading and reading.

The passion between Jude and Victoria is explosive, abusive, and, at times, confusing.  Your mind is telling you that what you are reading is wrong, but you keep reading anyways because you have to know what happens.  You have to know if these characters are truly as bad as they seem.  If there’s any chance of redemption for Jude and any chance of getting back on the right path for Victoria.  Or maybe their bound for mutual destruction.  You have to know one way or the other.

I’m not giving you all this information because I want you to put aside this novel in favor of some light hearted Susan Elizabeth Phillips or Nora Roberts.  Not at all.  I just want any reader to be going into this novel with their eyes wide-freaking-open.  There are a good number of people who would find themselves incredibly turned off by a novel of this sort.  Even the open-minded should be cautioned.  This is Fifty Shades of Grey on crack.  This is Fifty Shades of Grey but with all morality eliminated.  The characters have few redeemable qualities.  The romance is violent. This story will make you hot, but it will not make you feel good.

Only a specific reader will be able to stomach the chaos of this novel, but that reader will find themselves quite pleased with what they find in the first book of the Wrong series. The first book is free on Kindle.  Reader beware.
