Synopsis:
Sometimes two wrongs can make a right...
Bad boy wrangler, Archer Kane, lives fast and loose. Words like responsibility and commitment send him running in the opposite direction. Until a wild Vegas weekend puts him on a collision course with Eden Bankcroft-Kew, a New York heiress running away from her blackmailing fiancé…the morning of her wedding.
Eden has never understood the big attraction to cowboys. Give her a guy in a tailored suit any day of the week. But now all she can think about is Mr. Rugged Handsome, six-feet of sinfully sexy country charm with a pair of green eyes that keeps her tossing and turning all night long.
Archer might be the wrong guy for a woman like her, but she's not right in thinking he'll walk away without fighting for her heart. And maybe, just maybe, two wrongs can make a right.

Lindy's Thoughts:
I was excited to return to the small town of Brightwater, California. I adore the Kane family, and their significant others. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that book 1 and book 2 in this series run concurrently in time. It was great to get reacquainted with Sawyer Kane, Annie Carson, Kit Kane, and my favorite character of all, Grandma Kane.
Eden "Edie" Bancroft-Kew is a well-to-do Manhattan socialite. It's Eden's Mother's dying wish for her to marry long time family friend, Reginald "Reggie" Winter. On her wedding day, Edie, discovers that Reggie is using her for her inheritance.
After Edie meets a handsome cowboy, by the name of Archer Kane, her life is transformed. She discovers that Archer is from the small town of Brightwater California, which is where her first cousin, Quincy, currently resides. On a whim, Edie hitches a ride with Archer, and decides to take control of her life's happiness. She will open her own high quality coffee and pastry shop.
As far as romance is concerned, Edie is extremely attracted to Archer, but she is hearing rumors about his womanizing ways. She doesn't think that she can trust her gut after being betrayed by her ex-fiancee. Another conundrum arises when Reggie begins blackmailing Eddie. Can she find peace and happiness in Brightwater?
Right Wrong Guy was a sweet, warm, charming, and romantic love story. I enjoyed the characters, and love the sense of humor that Ms. Riley has created in Grandma Kane. I loved this small town romance, and it was a great read to savor on a cold night, under the covers. These characters warmed my heart, and brought many smiles to my face. My only critique of this story would be that it was difficult to buy in to the way Archer Kane went from a philanderer to a one-woman kind of man so quickly. However, he does tell us that he is tired of his fast-paced lifestyle, and wants a more meaningful relationship with a woman. Then again, this is the day after he has a threesome in Las Vegas.
If you enjoy small town romance, the Brightwater Series is wonderful. All of these characters are warm, fun, have colorful personalities, and give us readers great romance! These stories give off a meaningful sense of family, close friendships, and community.

Mikki's Review:
The second installment of Lia Riley's Brightwater Series, Right Wrong Guy, was a wonderful, sweet and enjoyable reading escape! If you are a fan of small town romance you definitely want to add this series on your TBR list. These books are perfect if you are looking for a sweet romance with a dash of spice.
What I like about this series is that the characters are real, the stories always captivating and the romance is always heart-melting. It's very easy to relate to these characters and you won't be able to resist cheering for their HEA. They all have a little something that will catch your attention. Especially grandma Kane. Oh my world!!! I love this little lady!! She can be moody, but God is she entertaining!!!
One-night stands are easy and require no commitment. The last thing Archer Kane is looking for is a long-term relationship. Until Eden Bankcroft-Kew walks into his life. In Sin City he meets the woman that will change his life forever. Eden is having the worst day of her life. A lying fiancé sends her running away straight into Archer's arms. When she meets him, she has no doubt that this sexy cowboy is trouble. The kind of trouble you want to meet. As days go by, their feelings for each other grow. Archer is ready to put his past behind and start a new journey with Eden. Will is reputation bring trouble in paradise? If it does, will Archer be able to win Eden's heart?
I had not problem connecting with Eden and Archer. Their chemistry was pretty strong. What I had a hard time with, is Archer's manwhore ways. Before meeting Eden, there was a never ending amount of ladies in his bed. There is no doubt in my mind that he was ready to find ''The One'', but it was almost an insta-love kind of thing with Eden. There is nothing wrong with that. I just wanted a slow building romance between these two.
What I love about small town romance novels, is that you get to revisit all your favorite characters. I was happy to see familiar faces. My favorite one would be grandma Kane. She is hilarious and I guarantee that you will love her just as much as I do! This book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend the rest of the books in this series as well. They are the perfect reading escape when you want a great romance story with a little bit of drama.

About the Author:
Lia Riley writes offbeat New Adult and Contemporary Adult romance. After studying at the University of Montana-Missoula, she scoured the world armed only with a backpack, overconfidence and a terrible sense of direction. She counts shooting vodka with a Ukranian mechanic in Antarctica, sipping yerba mate with gauchos in Chile and swilling XXXX with stationhands in Outback Australia among her accomplishments.
A British literature fanatic at heart, Lia considers Mr. Darcy and Edward Rochester as her fictional boyfriends. Her very patient husband doesn't mind. Much. When not torturing heroes (because c'mon, who doesn't love a good tortured hero?), Lia herds unruly chickens, camps, beach combs, daydreams about future books, wades through a mile-high TBR pile and schemes yet another trip. Right now, Icelandic hot springs and Scottish castles sound mighty fine.
