5 Smooches
Synopsis
Pepper is a bitch—and proud of it. She has a great family, the best two friends a girl could ask for, and the career she’s always wanted. But the buck stops there. Aside from the people closest to her, she completely lacks in the social department. Because of her snarky, bitchy, full on attitude, she’s unapproachable, at best.
Pepper learned in high school that you have to protect yourself—a handsome devil taught her that the hard way. And she does that by pushing away suitors. Most of them are lame, completely lacking in the brains department. Dating isn’t something she wants or needs—or is it?
Jordan works hard, running his father’s legacy. A legacy that may be quickly crashing to the ground. With his brother, Jackson, together, they work to pump life back into their company. He doesn’t have time for dating, but then he meets Pepper. To Jordan, Pepper is an enigma—a fresh blast of cool air to his stressful life. She’s smart, sassy, and sexy as hell—the perfect distraction. Jordan will stop at nothing to claim her. But will Pepper allow herself to be claimed?
With Jordan putting cracks in her icy heart at each encounter, Pepper starts to question who she really is—The Ice Queen or the cliché Damsel in Distress? The adorable man is quickly melting her heart and her panties. One thing’s for certain—with Jordan, Pepper struggles to hold on to the only identity she feels safe with. Will he be the one to free her heart from the icy façade and make things right? Or, will things go terribly wrong?
Review
Wrong is book two in the Breaking the Rules series by K. Webster. This book can be read as a standalone, but I do feel the knowledge provided in the first book, Broken, does enhance the story. Plus, Broken is an Amazing book so why would you skip it! Wrong follows Pepper, Andi’s best friend and roommate, and Jordan, Jackson’s brother and business partner. Wrong is full of drama, action and tons of steamy scenes that will get your panties in a twist (if you’re wearing any!)
Pepper is beautiful, smart and downright bitchy! She has a past that holds her back and has left her a grown woman who has only been kissed once and scarred to the point of avoiding all forms of dating. High school was rough for the nerdy girl who had a reputation she didn’t deserve and because of it she prefers to be alone and uses her attitude as a defense mechanism. For me Pepper was a great heroine just broken enough that you feel for her but stronger than she ever lets on. I loved her sass and the fact that she could give it out to anyone who she thought had it coming!
Jordan is a strong, sexy, confident businessman who isn’t afraid to go after what he wants, and what he wants is Pepper! Jordan is instantly attracted to her and her smart mouth and goes to great lengths to ensure he can spend more time together. I loved how Jordan was both a controlling Alpha but also when needed a very sensitive and loving man! He was just the right mix of it all to be the perfect Sex God Book Boyfriend! LOVED him and want more of him!
Pepper and Jordan have strong chemistry! You could see it in the first book and it is even more intense in this one! Pepper doesn’t take crap from anyone but when Jordan tells her what to do in that sexy way he doe,s she (like all us HOT bloodied women) melt and caves! When he throws her over his shoulder, SWOON!
Reading this book took me through a myriad of emotions. I felt deeply for Pepper’s past and watching Jordan tear down the walls she had built up filled me with glee! This book has a fair amount of action with an man from Pepper’s past coming back and causing all kinds of trouble. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out how it all played out and I am so glad that I didn’t put it down!
Wrong is a quick read at under 200 pages but it didn’t feel too short to me. I think all of the story lines were well played out and I was very pleased with the book as a whole! I love this series and can’t wait for Olive’s story too!
