Excerpt:“Did somebody hurt you?” My gut knots with the question. You can’t save her, Ethan.
“You could say that.”I step forward. Maybe that’s why she’s here on this impulsive visit to Jackson Harbor. Maybe she’s running from someone, escaping a home that’s not safe. “Do you have somewhere safe to go?”“It’s not that kind of hurt,” she whispers. She swallows, and her gaze dips to my mouth. “Why are you so sad?”Because you remind me of Elena. Because I couldn’t walk away from her either. “I’m just worried about you.” I don’t know if I step closer or if gravity pulls me that way, but in a breath, she’s at my fingertips and my thighs brush her knees.“Will you do me a favor?” she asks, her attention still on my lips.“What?”“Will you kiss me?”“Nic . . .” I wait for the excuses to find their way onto my tongue, but they don’t, and I realize I don’t want an excuse to walk away from her. My whole body is warm and my fingers itch to touch her. The only thing I want is my mouth on hers. I want to taste her joy and sadness. I want to know how it feels to have that body pressed against mine.I’m silent a beat too long, and she winces. “Sorry.”“Don’t be. It’s not that I don’t want to, but you’re vulnerable.”“Are you always so noble?”“If you think my thoughts are noble right now, you’re even more naïve than I feared.” I lean my forehead against hers. Christ. Who am I kidding? She’s asking me to do something I’ve been thinking about since I first laid eyes on her. I couldn’t deny her if I wanted to, and I don’t want to. Not even a little.I cup her face in my hand and run my thumb along her jaw.She slides a hand behind my neck. “I like the way you look at me. You make me feel sexy. Wanted.”“Who made you feel like you weren’t?”“A mistake.”“Then he didn’t deserve you.” I lower my mouth to hers, telling myself the kiss will be brief, that I won’t get carried away. But then her other hand joins the first behind my neck, and her breasts press against my chest. Her thighs part, and I step between them in my instinctive need to be closer. A soft moan slips from her lips as our mouths connect.This girl kisses like she does everything else—with unabashed emotion. She doesn’t hide a thing she’s feeling, and I’m hard even before her mouth opens under mine and our tongues sweep across each other.I thread one hand into her hair and slide the other up her bare leg, my fingers curling into the flesh of her hip while my thumb strokes her inner thigh. Her skirt is bunched around her waist, and it would be so easy to follow this soft skin up and find her panties. She’s making the sexiest sounds, and I’m dying to touch her, to find out if she’s as turned on as she sounds, but I keep my hand where it is and give her the kiss she asked for. I offer the evidence that she’s sexy and desirable, no matter what some asshole made her think.The Wrong Kind of Love © 2018 by Lexi Ryan

My The Wrong Kind of Love Review . . .
It has been forever since I read anything from Lexi Ryan and what a mistake that was. I forgot how heartfelt and beautiful her books are.
Nicole has always been chasing for the one. Now at her wedding she finally thinks she's found it until her twin sister pukes on her and admits she's pregnant with her soon to be husband. No where to go, Nic runs to take over her twin's life as an escape as her sister steps into hers.
While escaping she meets a sexy stranger whom she has one hot night with. What she didn't expect was for him to be her new boss. Ethan Jackson is half a man stuck in his past. He doesn't want a relationship but there is something about a new stranger that comes to his town. After his brothers convince him to go for it, he takes the chance but comes face to face with regret when she shows up on his doorstep.
I liked both Nic and Ethan, separate and together. They both had their own issues but together they balanced each other out. The emotional topic that takes place in this book is important and should be talked about more often and more freely than it is currently. Lexi Ryan did a great job with this topic from different POV's and different aspects of the disease.
Both Ethan and Nic had secrets and when the truth comes out they both had to deal with what came with it.

"Does your wimpy little heart hurt any less since you did it yourself?"

"You sent him away because you don't need him. You want him. The difference is how I know he's the one."
I quite adored this story and can NOT wait for more from this Jackson family.
4 Second Chances thumbs up!
