This book has it all and then some and I read it cover to cover because I simply couldn’t put it down; it is just that good! ~ Slick, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
Looking for Mrs. Right…
Single father of three, Ross Bencher, knows the kind of woman he wants: someone predictable, reliable, and safe, who can give his kids the security they deserve. Someone entirely different from high-altitude mountaineer Kelsey. Kelsey bewitches him with her long legs and wild passion and is about as far from his ideal as a woman can get, but try telling that to his body. Or his heart…
Falling for Mr. Wrong…
When Kelsey agreed to fill in as a temporary nanny for her best friend’s agency before a big climbing expedition, she had no idea she’d be working for drop-dead sexy Ross Bencher, a man she can’t seem to keep her hands off. She knows if she wants to bring herself—and her father—back alive from the Himalayan Mountains, she can’t afford second-guessing, attachments, or distractions. But Ross’s blue eyes and strong hands leave her gasping…and questioning everything she’s ever known about love.
Review copy provided for an honest review
I always get a little thrill when I read a new to me author and they blow me out of the water and 
Inara Scott had done that with Falling For Mr. Wrong. First off I love the one night stand comes back to bite you in the butt plot line and in this book she comes back as a fill in nanny/babysitter. Secondly, I love when two characters are so mismatched but the chemistry is so hot you expect them to go up in flames right before your eyes. Lastly, I love a hero and heroine that are matched intellectually as well as physically despite their very different lives. This book has it all and then some and I read it cover to cover because I simply couldn’t put it down; it is just that good!
When Ross and Kelsey meet on the day of his divorce from his wife of 10 years they attraction is immediate and the night that follows wicked and amazing. They know it’s one night; he’s in town on business and she’s leaving on a trip she may not come back from but during that night knowing they will never see each other again they share insecurities and personal information they’ve never shared with another. They leave it at that and go on until one day three years later…
This is one of those books that you become a part of because you can’t help but want to be with these two as they try and figure out what strange force has brought them together again. I love their reactions when they see each other again. I hate that Ross is so judgmental when it comes to Kelsey but understand it all the same because she is going to be working with his three children. I just hate that he can’t see past what she does to the person she is at least not as first. Kelsey is one of those women that I admire greatly; she trains hard so she can do what she loves and she doesn’t give up. But, she’s also scared, lonely, unable to trust, and has a hard time listening to things she doesn’t want to hear. It was fun watching her go from being afraid of kids to mixing it up with Ross’ three children with ease.
The fact that their attraction for each other is always there makes their lives a little difficult but they find themselves unable to stay apart and when they are together no surface is safe! Hot doesn’t even begin to describe their intimate scenes. The fact that they try to convince themselves that it’s just about sex is interesting to watch but in reality they both come to realize that they need each other like they need air.
While their relationship is building, Ross is trying to come to terms with a business deal and Kelsey is training for her second attempt to climb Annapurna. In addition they are dealing with Ross’ children while his ex-wife is out of the country, Kelsey’s dad, and her friend, Marie. All are important to the story and all are interesting in their own way. I especially loved a pivotal scene with Ross and his ex-wife; seriously some tear inducing moments.
Sometimes you read a book and it’s really just a perfect story and Falling For Mr. Wrong is one of those books for me. I loved this book so much and it kills me to not give it 5 stars; my reason…I wanted an epilogue. After everything they went through, all the problems they thought were insurmountable; I wanted to know how the news of their relationship affected everyone in their circle. However, this is still one of my top reads for this year; the characters are phenomenal, their story fresh and entertaining, their plight unusual, and an ending I didn’t think I’d get but I did. This might be the first book I’ve read by Inara Scott but I can guarantee it won’t be the last!
