Two Wrongs, One Right

Rating: 4 of 5 stars


My Review:
Another good installment in the Come Undone series. Katee Robert is fast becoming a comfort read for me. I've been so curious about Nathan after reading all about him in Wrong Bed, Right Guy. He seemed so closed off and unhappy in that book and we finally get to see why.


Nathan and Chelsea were secretly married eight years ago, but immediately after that, he shipped off to Basic Training and Chelsea ran away back to her high-brow family. They've left everything alone for eight years but Chelsea's decided to finally get the divorce papers signed. The invitation she receives (from Nathan) to Gabe and Elle's wedding seems like the perfect opportunity to take care of things.


The tension in this story is really thick. Both of these characters are carrying around huge amounts of pain and hurt. On the one hand, I was surprised by how hot and heavy everything was very early on. These two, especially Chelsea, are so angry at each other and yet they almost immediately have a case of serious lusty pants. Slightly unbelievable to start with although once you read a bit further and see the almost supernatural soul-mate status of these two, it all makes sense. The sex is graphic and intense. They have some sexual power plays that were fun to see. These two didn't let themselves be walked on and enjoyed keeping the other off balance.


There's a lot of artistic expression in this book. Nathan owns a gallery, Chelsea also owns a gallery. You can tell that art is very important to not only these two but also to the author. Settings, backgrounds, and colors are all described with an artist's eye and are very expressive and affecting.


Nathan and Chelsea had to work really hard for their happily-ever-after. It was great to see them actually talk things out and both take responsibility for the things they did in the past. They each started out completely blaming the other for their problems, but they were able to empathize and see things from the other's perspective. You don't get much in the way of secondary characters with this length, but you get a solid view of Nathan and Chelsea. At about 160 pages, this is a perfect length for a quiet afternoon or even a not-too-late night of reading.
