The Wright One by K.A. Linde



Secrets swarm all around.
My world is crumbling under the strain.
I don’t know if we can survive this.
My heart is in the Wright place.
But is his?

 

The Wright One by K.A. Linde is the angsty conclusion to her new contemporary romance duet, Wright Love.  As part of her Wright series, this duet, likely the last we’ll hear from the Wright family we’ve come to know & love, at least for a while.  You’ll get a nice final glimpse of the whole family with continued cross-over characters from The Wright Brother, The Wright Boss, The Wright Mistake & The Wright Secret.  Sutton & David’s story continues as Sutton, picks up the pieces of her heart, after putting it on the line while trying to find herself after the loss of the love of her life “If this was living, I didn’t want to be part of it.”  Now that the truth is out, David must decide if it’s worth the risk to work through regaining a trust that has been broken & proving he is who he always has been in spite of his namesake “Running had become second nature.”…”Or…I could stay.”

Told in first person from dual perspectives, you’ll go from feeling betrayed in a world that seems to keep shattering, to a second chance full of passion & possibilities & back again!  Sutton has the everlasting support of her family “They argued all the time, but they loved each other. That was a fact. The Wrights were closer than any family I’d ever known.” While David’s family brings a “…air-kiss-only…” kind of loyalty to the table – family is family.  I love that these characters journey together to realize it’s not about comparing or replacing but about finding the differences & embracing them anew. “No longer defined by what I’d lost. But what I’d gained.”  While also learning to understand their emotions, to work through grief, bring happiness & overcome heartache. “My heart had always been in the right place.”  Sexy & angsty, with a few laughs, secrets revealed & few new twists, this second chance romance left me wanting just a little bit more. 
A bittersweet unofficial end to the Wright family, who I’ll enjoy reading time & time again. 

“The moment felt final. Not an ending, but a beginning.”

MY REVIEW

 The Wright Love by K.A. Linde is the first book in her new contemporary romance duet, Wright Love.  As part of her Wright series, this duet includes the whole family of cross-over characters from The Wright Brother, The Wright Boss, The Wright Mistake & The Wright Secret.  You’ll follow Sutton, the youngest Wright as she journeys to piece back together “…a shattered mess inside.”  a year after the tragic loss of her beloved husband to “…find a tiny piece of the butterfly inside myself that had once been so joyous.”.  With David, the only person who lets her just feel.  “No bullshit. No expectations.”


Told in first person from dual perspectives, this story will take you from “…cathartic, wonderful, horrible, painful…” all the way to “Kind, sweet, happy and kind of wonderful.”  Filled with “…devotion and desire.”  Sutton is surrounded by a family after my own heart “They were wild and prone to addictions with skeletons in their closets, but they were mine. And I loved them.”  This fast paced read is as genuine in its gut-wrenching grief, as it is in a mothers love & conflict of the heart.  Secrets you won’t see coming are revealed – a cliff hanger that will have you gasping out loud!


Another enjoyable read from Linde, whose ability to bring a blend of romance & emotion can’t be beat.  I love Suttons strength – “She’d lost so much. She’d endured. And here she was, still as beautiful as ever, not falling apart because of it.” & the way David doesn’t take, but understands grief & heals with his soul heart.  This story - “…was heart-wrenching. And wonderful.”
 

On the edge of my seat waiting for the conclusion to Sutton & David’s story The Wright One releasing this month.

The Wright Secret by K.A. Linde

       

I was just his best friend’s little sister.

But he was always more than that to me.

After twelve years of pining over Patrick’s easy smile, baby blues, and captivating charm, I decide to take matters into my own hands—and completely blow my chance.

Who knew a self-proclaimed manwhore would decide to be a gentleman the first time I’m naked in his bed? Definitely, not me. But when I land there again, neither of us has any intention of stopping.

There’s only one problem: nobody can know. Especially not my three older brothers. If they found out, all hell would break loose.

So I’m willing to keep our secret. Because I want him Wright here, right now. 
 

The Wright Secret by K.A. Linde is a Hot Contemporary Romance focuses on Morgan Wright.  Part of her Wright series, this is a standalone with cross-over characters from The Wright Brother, The Wright Boss & The Wright Mistake.  Morgan, following in the eldest Wright brother’s footsteps, she is “A slightly neurotic workaholic with a heart of gold.” who has been head over heels for her brother’s best friend for as long as anyone can remember.  A dangerous combination - “Soft and supple met hard and solid. It was temptation at its finest. The serpent’s apple dangling from a thread.”

Told in first person from dual perspectives, this page turning forbidden romance is full of flirty banter, funny sarcastic wit, angst & internal conflict of the heart.  So many emotions play out from “...friend-zoned…” rejection, to fear of “…screwing up a lifetime friendship…”, the struggle to find work-life balance, broken hearts & a surprising twist of new family betrayal “Blood didn’t always equal family.”  A sexy mix of seduction & romance, you won’t be able to tear your eyes away, “I see you. All of you,”…”I see you and feel you and want you.”, Close friendships transcend, "Bossy girls are strong. Bossy girls take over the world. Bossy is a compliment. Don’t let anyone tell you different.”  & family bonds continue to shine thorough “Family was always more important than things.” This story will have you blushing “The kiss was unimaginable, raw, and addictive” & laughing out loud one moment “I didn’t have another fake pageant girl smile. I only had resting bitch face and zero fucks to give.” & teary-eyed in the next “I hated crying to begin with.”…”Nothing was worth my expensive mascara.” – with twists you'll never see coming.  "Just appreciate what you have when you have it.”… “You don’t want to wake up one day and remember all the things you never said.”

 Another enjoyable read from Linde, whose ability to deliver a perfect mix of angst & emotion never fail.   I so enjoyed “Mini Wright” & the realizations these characters come to as the story progresses, the way they made each other a better person & turned each other’s world upside down!  Love the Wright family & the dynamic between them.

“It’s good. Feels like home.”

Hoping to see something soon for the youngest sibling…

The Consort (The Ascension Series Book #3) by K.A. Linde

BLURB

After the loss of a friend and false imprisonment in an Eleysian dungeon, Cyrene has no interest in destiny. Her heart was shattered, friends scattered, and her home is nothing but a pretty illusion. Even her magic won’t cooperate. When all seems lost, she turns to the one person she never thought that she would trust:

Prince Kael.

His darkness mirrors a growing force lurking within her. A struggle she never imagined threatens to consume her. And as friends and foes begin to show their true colors, she starts questioning whether anyone is who they seem. Even herself.

 

The Consort is book three of K.A. Linde's The Ascension Series.  Far from a standalone, you will need to read the first two books before diving into this epic tale.  Follow this heroine after my own heart…”It smelled like fresh parchment and ink, and Cyrene loved the place on sight. It was like stepping into the library, knowing the worlds she could venture into were limitless.”  And this is a series of limitless worlds…

Told in third person from multiple points of view, the dialogue flows remarkably well in spite of the complexity of the story line & movement from one characters perspective to the next.  Expect multiple journeys, taking you to “…worlds beyond our own,”.  Characters are pushed to the brink & face unrelenting obstacles between dark & light, good & evil.  “Broken and hopeless and never able to be put back together.”  So many defining moments “You choose your destiny.”.  The introduction of new twists, new allies, friends & foes, along with unexpected reunions.  Love triangles leaving you torn between who should be with whom. “I do love her. Desperately, unequivocally, maddeningly so…”  “He could never have enough of this woman. Not ever.”  Betrayal upon betrayal & oh my gosh, SO MUCH DEATH – take care who you get attached to!  One step closer to revealing the truth & uncertain futures.  An epic tale, be prepared for a dedication of time to this lengthy read that will leave you ready for more!  “Time was a wily beast. It stole. It destroyed. It healed.”

So well written, I love the way Linde works in mini recaps to refresh our memories regarding important background.    I love the truly fierce friendships that have been developing throughout the series.  And how the characters themselves have grown into their own – “…you can make your own destiny. Your life is not predetermined.”  I’m simply addicted to this world of magic, power & love… “A love story that broke the world,” 

“In times of hardship, the world needs a dreamer with their gaze cast to the stars to right the wrongs of this limited existence.”

The Wright Mistake by K.A. Linde

BLURB

I spent six weeks screwing Austin Wright’s brains out and all I got was this broken heart.

He can’t be trusted. Not with my body or my heart. Yet, two years have passed and I still crave him like an addict needing a fix.

The last time we tried this, it nearly ruined me. I know I should run and never look back. But his dark haunted eyes and razor blade smile speak to my soul. His touch sets my body on fire. And we all know what happens when you light gasoline. Someone is bound to get burned.

MY REVIEW

 

The Wright Mistake by K.A. Linde is a Hot Contemporary Romance focuses on Austin Wright.  Part of her Wright series, this is a standalone with cross-over characters from The Wright Brother & The Wright Boss.  Austin, the alcoholic jackass of the Wright family had his chance with small town Ohio girl, Julia... "It had been nice, but it hadn't been right." 

 

Told in first person from dual perspectives, this steady page turner has more to offer than steamy romance.  Although "Preferably with a lot of mind-blowing sex." & fun definitely play a part, this story has more depth than first meets the eye.  Through love & loss, both broken in their own way, Austin & Julia are working to fix each other & to find a way to fix themselves.  Close friendships "Girlfriends are here to cheer you on and commiserate when sh*t goes down.  Also, for Buffy marathons, ice cream dates, and shopping."  & family bonds shine thorough this multi-layered story line that will have you blushing & laughing out loud one moment & gasping in shock, teary-eyed in the next - twists you'll never see coming.  "...you never know how much time you have together.  Forgiving someone is easier than living without them."

 

 I was so happily surprised by the way Linde beautifully combined a hot romance with gut-wrenching, heartstring pulling life consuming tragedy & ability to overcome addiction.

Plus, who couldn't adore a story that includes a pink-sequined unicorn named Waffle?
