 The Wrong Man

Lane Hayes

Successful owner of an upscale boutique in fabulous West Hollywood, Brandon Good swears by his personal edict to “live in the present.” After a bad break-up, he agrees to dog sit to keep his mind off his ex. Never did he expect the dog to belong a man from his past, the only man to ever truly break his heart.

When Jake Westley relocates to join the WeHo fire department, the last thing he anticipates is reuniting with his secret high school love. Thrilled with the prospect of reconnecting with Bran, Jake feels no guilt in using his charming old dog as an unwitting matchmaker. As they rekindle their friendship, it becomes clear the intense attraction they once felt is stronger than ever. But as hard as they try to leave the past behind, painful memories resurface. Bran will have to confront his fears and consider the possibility that the man he swore was absolutely the wrong one might be perfect after all.

Excerpt

Again, I questioned my sanity. Something was odd in my world for sure. My heart was beating double time when he finally turned onto my street. A quick escape was my best bet. I had my fingers wrapped around the car door handle and was ready to rip my other hand from his grasp when he slowed down. He must have sensed my intent to bolt, because he held on to me until I was forced to give him a “what the fuck?” look.

“Let me walk you to your door.”

“Jake, let’s not do this. Please. I really don’t want this evening to get any weirder than it already has been. Thank you for tonight. For dinner and pretending to—”

“Hey, nothing is weird here. It’s dark, and I’m walking you to your door—”

“I’m a big boy. I’ve got this.” I detached my hand from his grip and opened the door.

“Thanks again.”

When I reached the sidewalk, he was waiting for me. The man obviously was hard of hearing.

“You are stubborn.” I gave him my best evil eye before I trudged up the path ahead of him.

“Me? You’re the difficult one. I’m trying to be nice—”

“You don’t have to prove you’re nice to me. I get it. That doesn’t mean—suit yourself.”

“Humor me.”

I fished my key from my pocket as I approached the well-lit front porch.

“Here I am, safe and sound. No need for worry,” I said flippantly as I turned to Jake.

“You ca—”

I swallowed my words. He was closer than I expected. Much closer. I felt the warmth from his body but wasn’t prepared for the hunger I saw in his eyes. I licked my bottom lip nervously. I knew what was going to happen, and though I wasn’t sure it was a good idea, I wasn’t going to stop him. He bent slightly and brushed his nose against mine. I felt his breath on my lips as I waited for him to close the distance between us. Neither of us moved. He smelled delicious, that intoxicating combination of soap and a hint of musky cologne I’d noticed the morning he hugged me in my kitchen. I could have happily buried my nose in his shirt or in the curve where his neck met his shoulders. I closed my eyes and leaned in the tiniest bit closer, expecting him to take over. He still didn’t move.

“Aren’t you going to ki—”

And then he pounced. He crashed his mouth over mine and snaked his arms around my waist, fusing our bodies together. His hands traveled up and down my back while he licked a sensual line across the seam of my lips, requesting entry. I heard myself moan as his tongue danced and collided with mine in a lustful assault. I arched into him instinctively. Jake lowered his hands to my ass, drawing me in tightly as he thrust his hips forward. The friction was hot, and his demanding kisses had my head reeling. This was nothing like our frantic make-out sessions years ago.

Just as that errant thought surfaced to remind me whom I was grinding against like a teenager on my front porch, Jake turned his full attention to my mouth. I was painfully hard, but he was right. We shouldn’t be doing any of this. But I couldn’t seem to stop myself. I bit at his jaw and then licked my way to his ear, flicking the lobe gently with my tongue until I felt his teeth at my neck. I made a strangled sound and went limp in his arms. He was overpowering in a subtle, almost unexpected way. I was two seconds away from ripping his shirt when a car went down my street blaring hip-hop music at an obscene volume. I pulled away and rested my forehead against his shoulder. We stood quietly catching our breath for a moment.

Then Jake pressed a soft kiss on my cheek and stepped away. “Good night, Bran. Thank you for… well, just thank you. I’ll see you soon.”

I stared after him like an idiot, watching him open his door and start the SUV. I heard the familiar hum of distant traffic and smelled the fragrant sweet star jasmine from my neighbor’s garden. Everything looked and seemed to be in place, but something was different.

Review: This book hit all the right spots for me. There’s nothing I like better than old lovers that reconnect and can work things through the second time around. Insert a totally loveable and charming senior dog and my heart melts on the spot. Not to mention the hot and amazingly sexy firefighter. Yep, I’m all gooey and oh so happy. The fact that this book was very well written and I didn’t have to bitch about any grammatical errors is just the cherry on top.

This is book two in the Right and Wrong series, but it can be read as a standalone. We met Brandon in book one, and I don’t know about you, but I loved him to pieces and I was looking forward to his story. Brandon is quirky and sarcastic, he’s a great friend, always has great advice and he won’t hesitate to offer his support. He’s also afraid to open up to the persons he dates out of fear of being hurt again, and so all his relationships are temporary. When he meets Jake again, I was quivering in excitement, because I could feel the tension between them.

Jake was Brandon’s first love and his first heartbreak, and we all know how much more intense our feelings are when we’re teenagers. When they were first dating in high school, Jake was closeted, and the lack of acknowledgement in public settings broke Brandon’s heart.

Fast forward 12 years and the past collides with Brandon’s present. Only Jake is different; they both are. They’re more mature and able to communicate better; Jake is no longer closeted and doesn’t hesitate to show his interest and affection. He loves his dog and treats him like he’s the most important person in his life, he’s open and friendly, self-assured and comfortable with who he is.

In the world of Hollywood, where what you wear and how you look are more important than anything, Jake is simple and real. I REALLY love Jake!

Despite Brandon’s determination to not go down memory lane and his fear of second chances, Jake and Bran reconnect. They become friends but the sexual tension is always there, I could practically TASTE it! What I loved the most about them together was the intensity and chemistry that never failed to give me goose bumps.

The sex was hot, but the frantic kissing is what simply blew my mind…And I also loved that Jake never failed to make it obvious he’s interested in Bran and no one else. *makes dreamy eyes*

Mack, you silly, sweet, old dog, you scared the crap out of me!!! I thought for sure you were going to die! Thank you Lane for not ending the book on a sad and heartbreaking note! I am so happy Mack was an old dog and he was important. There’s nothing hotter or more heartwarming than a firefighter who’s sexy as hell but doesn’t know it or flaunt it, who’s caring and completely crazy over his old dog; and somehow it all comes back to Jake dammit, because he was obviously my favorite… have I mentioned how dreamy he was??? *evil cackle*

I found myself laughing hysterically while reading the epilogue. Because Brandon’s words about Mack made for a very interesting (if somewhat disturbing) mental image…

“There is nothing he enjoys more than simply being with Jake and me. Whether he’s under the table waiting for a scrap of food to fall or at the foot of our bed while we sleep or make love makes no difference.” Yep I’m talking about the sleep or make love part while the dog watches you from the foot of the bed, quite possibly panting *giggles*.

I loved this second book even better than the first and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series *crosses fingers it’s Alejandro’s book*. But honestly I’d read just about anything Lane Hayes publishes because she’s become of my favorite writers.

Highly recommended!!!
