Blog Tour: Review of Wrong Turn by Samantha Chase




Author: Samantha Chase

Series: RoadTripping #2
Release Date: May 5, 2020


Chelsea Cooper thinks her best friend’s fiancĂ© is the world’s biggest jerk.

She’s never really been one to make waves, but when it comes to that guy, Chelsea’s willing to make an exception. There’s just no way she can let her best friend make the biggest mistake of her life by marrying him. She’ll do anything to stop the wedding, even if it means teaming up with the one person who’s an even bigger jerk—the groom-to-be’s best friend.

Drew Russo thinks his best friend’s fiancĂ©e’s best friend is the prickliest woman alive.

Everything about Chelsea aggravates him. She’s too structured, too uptight, and too opinionated—especially when it comes to her thoughts on his best friend. When he’s tasked with keeping her away from their best friends’ secret wedding, Drew knows he’s in for one hell of a challenge. Never mind the days he’ll have to spend trapped in a car with the world’s most annoying woman.

The plan is simple enough—keep Chelsea from interfering with the wedding. But between distractions, delays and detours, they discover they aren’t the enemies they thought they were. And sometimes a wrong turn can lead you in the right direction.

Warning—This sweet, sexy, and laugh out loud funny romance is filled with all the most ridiculous road trip stories you can imagine and will make you realize sometimes being wrong can be a lot more fun than being right.

 My thoughts:

Wrong Turn is an enemies to lovers story involving a road trip.   I enjoy both of those tropes immensely.  I have very mixed feelings about this book.  On the one hand, I really liked both of the main characters.  I enjoyed the banter and the chemistry between Chelsea and Drew.  The road trip portion of the book was fun.  I loved how they put aside their previous ideas about each other and started over in getting to know each other.  I also loved the ending.  

What I didn't like about the book were the other characters.  I found both Bianca and Jimmy so over the top obnoxious.  I do not understand how anyone would want to keep friends like them.  I know that was part of the point of the book, but it was really started to get on my nerves and kind of ruined the book for me.  I also wasn't a fan of the fade to black bedroom scenes.  I'm never a fan of them in general.  I'm more of an all or nothing reader when it comes to that.  Why have the build up if you won't follow through?  That is my personal preference though.  Despite these two aspects of the book, I do recommend giving this one a shot.
