LDS Rom-Com Fun, But A Little Too Breezy (With a Giveaway!)
4:48 PM
As a tall, athletic, bi-racial woman, Lane Bishop is used to standing out. Which is just fine by her. She'd rather play center field than sit on the sidelines anyway. When she's invited to a pick-up soccer game to cheer on the Hamilton men—five gorgeous "untouchable" brothers—she quickly decides cheerleading is for the birds. Not only does she insert some much needed girl power into the game, but she makes the winning goal, and scores a date with Jamie, the most eligible Hamilton. Lane swore off the LDS singles scene when she moved back to North Carolina, but what can she say? She's never been able to resist a challenge. And the commitment-phobic Jamie is a tantalizing challenge indeed.
Not long after winning her "prize," Lane begins to wonder if charming, spontaneous Jamie is the right man for her after all. If only his older brother Simon weren't so grounded, so thoughtful, so observant ... so different than doesn't-think-twice Jamie. Is it possible Lane's fallen for the wrong Hamilton? As the situation grows more and more complicated, she knows she needs to tame her fickle heart. And fast.
If the plot summary for Wrong For You, a new LDS rom-com by Jenny Proctor, seems a little thin ... well, it is. Besides the love triangle at the center of the novel, there's not a whole lot going on with this story. It's meant to be a light-hearted romance, sure, but that doesn't mean the novel can't have some depth. Wrong For You is fun and upbeat, with a strong female lead and yet, it just gets a little too silly for me. I'm not a big fan of love triangles as the only source of conflict in a book in the first place. I also didn't care much for Lane, who seemed like a big, fat hypocrite to me. So, while Wrong For You is a light, fun While You Were Sleeping-ish novel, I didn't love it. It made for easy, breezy reading during a week where my overtaxed brain couldn't have handled much more, but still ... Proctor's got a great storytelling voice; I'd just love a little more depth from her books.
