Three months ago, graphic designer Vanessa Hewitt slept with the ridiculously hot guy she met after nearly falling to her death while stargazing on a bridge. The adrenaline-fueled night of we’ll-never-see-each-other-again sex fulfilled every fantasy, but with her best friend’s wedding on the horizon, Vanessa can’t stop thinking about what would happen if her sexy stranger passed through town again.
Haunted by his time in Afghanistan, soldier John Campbell returns to his hometown just long enough to help plan an engagement party for his sister. When he realizes her best friend is the sweet one-night stand he's been fantasizing about for months, he’ll do anything to have her again…though getting trapped together in a storeroom wasn’t quite what he had in mind.
Vanessa is in hell. Or is it heaven? Because with every touch, their forbidden connection grows, until kissing Mr. Wrong starts feeling more like kissing Mr. Right...
Erin: Mix an ex-soldier, a feisty graphic designer, a near death experience followed by a hot one night stand and you get Kerri Carpenter’s novella, Kissing Mr. Wrong. A surprise happens when the two meet again at a party, and from there the sparks fly.
John Campbell can’t forget the woman he spent one hot and sexy night with and resigns himself to never seeing her again when lo and behold, Vanessa Hewitt just happens to be his sister’s best friend, whom he runs into at his sister’s engagement party. Yeah, you have to suspend belief a bit at how this all comes about, and with such a short page count, there’s not a whole lot of time to delve into back grounds and personalities, but for such a quick read, this was fun and steamy. Add in John and Vanessa being stuck in a locked storeroom and well, I’m sure you can guess what happens during that, yeah? I did like these two together, and though there’s the overused insta-lust and love, found this enjoyable.
She's a Texan, though she drinks her tea plain and NOT sweet. She loves cheesecake, strawberry limeade's from Sonic and her favorite color is purple. In her books, she loves an HEA, but she never minds if the road is rough to get there, as long as the reward is worth the struggle.
