Love... Marriage... Girlfriend.... NEVER EVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
Not for bad guys like me. Until I hear her on the other end of the line. I should have told her she got the wrong number. What I specialize in is not house renovation but something far darker and dangerous. But she sounded so desperate. So, instead of saying no, I asked for her address. Instead of calling her back to set things straight, I immediately drove down to the damsel in distress.
Were repairmen supposed to be this hot? And why did he come all this way out to this haunted mansion to help me out? He was the only one who agreed to do so. But I know he's hiding something.
WHEN HE'S COMPLETELY WRONG FOR YOU BUT STILL SETS YOUR SHEET ON FIRE! Each book in this series is a standalone and can be read in any order. And don't forget, we are team HEA all the way!
Lindsey Hart specializes in sweet to extra hot and dirty romance and strongly believes in happily ever after. If you are looking for a page turner, then you are in for a wild and naughty ride with feisty heroines and alpha male heroes.
I kind of feel bad but I was mostly confused by this story and found it rather boring. I wish I had the energy to write a review but life...well...has been busy so my reviews have suffered a little. I might come back to this series or start at book one!
Turning A Mistake Into Happiness - This is another home run in the Bad for Me series, beautifully written a talented author. This is a perfect romance story, with an intriguing storyline, engaging characters and steamy encounters, with funny and chaotic moments woven into the storyline, that will have you glued to the pages right from the beginning. Just like the others, this story will draw you in from the beginning and keep you turning the pages hoping to see what is going to happen next.
I started reading this book before bed, thinking I would take a break and continue the next day, but I found I was unable to put it down until I finished reading it at dawn. It was a wonderful read that you will really enjoy and be happy to recommend to all your family and friends. I urge you to grab a copy of this book now and indulge yourself for a few enjoyable hours.

When sweet, innocent 21-year-old Victoria Abruster, with dark eyes and dark wavy hair, a recent college graduate with a major in English and dreams of becoming a writer, left her family home to take up residence in her deceased great-aunt’s ramshackle cottage on the edge of nowhere, but far from Bloomington, Indiana, she quickly realized that the house which had been unoccupied for years wasn’t really unoccupied. It seems that since her great-aunt’s death and long neglect, a family of raccoons felt that they had been given an all-clear message and had moved in.
So, desiring a critter-free house and recognizing the expulsion of the unlawful residents was out of her skill set, she searched the yellow pages for a company skilled, able, and ready to not just help her clear out the furry squatters, but to also help her repair the long-neglected structure. So, she let her fingers to the walking through a local phone book, seeking a company with the ability to repair, renew and de-raccoon her great-aunt’s house. And after numerous refusals to help, she found an advertisement for a company that marketed itself as “Granny and Boys Repair and Restoration.” And since her aunt’s house needed to be both repaired and restored, she thought that she had located the company she needed to undertake the rejuvenation of her family’s house, and perhaps de-critter the house.
In her lighthearted calamitous romances of sweet innocent girls who fall into love and into the world of a collection of rag-tag, brothers, Lindsey Hart continues her tales of love and craziness. As the adopted sons—almost all from different mothers and fathers— of Maya Avanna Von Rippenstein—Granny—the young men become the catalyst for the sweet young women to find love and the fulfillment of their own dreams of love, happiness and family. I would encourage the author to engage and editor to assist in cleaning up the on-going grammar errors and to remove a few loops from the rollercoaster ride to which the reader is subjected.

“Family is definitely thicker than all that ‘biological’ stuff.” Atlas is one of the hot twins in Granny's "merry band of misfits." The author perfectly conveys his personality, his thoughts, and situations: Atlas' yearning for love and connectedness, to be able to not lie about his life and be his true self. His start in life was not an easy one. Yet, he's not dwelling on the past too much and concentrates all his efforts on building a better future with Victoria. He's not afraid to show his feelings, vulnerability, or his soft side. "It might not be overly macho to get wet in the eyes, but damn it, I'm getting there, and I'm okay with it." The portrayal of Victoria is excellent. She's quietly strong, level-headed, independent, and compassionate. "She gets that what I really mean to say can't be put into words, and that's okay because, generally, the best things in life can't." The book is well-written and contains witty dialogue, beautiful character growth, humorous moments, super-Granny, and a company with a misleading name. There are a lot of laughs, swoons, and a couple of people who need to have meddled with a little, and I'm sure you'll love it all. This book has a lot to offer, so go check it out for yourself.

I thought this was an entertaining, sweet and unexpected romance. Atlas is bored waiting for the next assignment, so when the business phone rings he gets excited. Unfortunately, it is a wrong number but there is something about the woman’s voice that draws him in and he agrees to go take a look at her house (he and his family work on computers). Victoria just graduated college and her parents “gifted” her a run down family home. This book had some laugh out loud comments, witty dialogue, sexy scenes and granny is hilarious. I especially liked how they Atlas and Victoria talked to each other and helped each other. He was honestly a sweet and caring man, he just got in over his head and didn’t know how to come clean. They both were equal in some ways; neither had a serious relationship, both kept secrets (his were of a grander level) and they both fell fast and hard. The reason behind the four stars were the repetition throughout the book and not enough of the family. I am really enjoying this series and can’t wait to see what happens next with this family. I received an ARC and this is my honest, voluntary review.

Raccoons – LOVE IT!!! Okay, this is not a story about raccoons but boy do they make an entrance!! This is about Atlas and Victoria. Victoria’s family decided to give her as a college graduation gift the abandoned house that no one wanted to list or buy because it belonged to her mom’s beloved aunt, even though she stated it was haunted. The story is hilarious in itself because you have Granny in it, and well she gives it to you straight and makes those sons of her dish out RESPECT!!! Atlas is answering the phone to what he thinks may be their first job, but nope it's Victoria needing someone to come out and give her a quote for restoring her new home as she was kicked out of her parent’s basement. Atlas was taken by her voice, and that is all it took to get him hooked. He and his twin decided to buy tool belts to make it believe that they were construction workers when all they know how to fix is computers. The story is great but again, pay attention to when the raccoons make their entrance because it is FUNNY! I can’t wait for Orion’s story.

Home improvement nets Atlas his ‘one & only’. I really enjoyed this 4th book in the ‘Bad for Me’ series. The books are all stand-alone, but it’s best to read them in order. Victoria is ‘gifted’ her aunt’s dreadfully run-down home by her parents as a dubious graduation gift. Her first experiences in her new, but appalling, home are extremely amusing – especially her encounter with a raccoon! I loved the way naïve Victoria mistakes Atlas & his family’s computer repair firm for home restorers. What engages the reader almost immediately is how Atlas (who takes the initial call) is intrigued by the sound of Victoria’s voice on the phone. I enjoyed the way he guiltily fools the woman he has growing feelings for, covering for his family’s ‘real’ business (no spoilers – you'll have to read the other books in the series as well as this one!) They do get their HEA after some steamy encounters, misunderstandings and a few rocky moments – including close encounters with raccoons once again! Another winner from Lindsey Hart
I have really enjoyed this series about Granny and her found family of adopted boys. This time it's Atlas who finds love when Victoria, a shy writer calls their office by mistake in order to ask about house renovations. He loves her voice so he goes to see her house although he knows nothing about fixing up houses. He decides to help her out and pays for an army of builders to work miracles on her home that used to be inhabited by raccoons. But Atlas hasn't told her the truth about himself and his family who fight crimes in an unofficial capacity. I liked the rambling inner voices of these characters and all the fun fluff makes for entertaining reading. Although the secrecy surrounding Granny and the guys is starting to seem like a lot of drama because you don't really see them doing dangerous sting operations or taking down vicious criminals in these books, the reader is told about that rather than shown.
Steam level: She was a virgin until she wasn't.

I am so loving this series - I might have said that already - but this one was another entertaining read. This time it involves Atlas one of the twins. Their latest - Lennox and Cass, Atlas and Orion were now currently 'working' in a shop called "Granny and Boys Repair and Restoration. Supposed to be repairing computers they were not having a lot of business. They all agreed that perhaps the name didn't help. But then the phone rings and it's a woman looking for a building renovation company. Atlas likes the sound of her voice so he goes to see her with Orion. Victoria has recently fell heir to her aunt's run down property which badly needing fixed up. This is a lovely romantic story - with house fixing and raccoons added. Then granny gets involved... Of course there is an HEA but you will need to read this yourself to find out. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and I voluntarily leave this honest review.
I really enjoyed reading the story 'The Wrong Number' by Lindsey Hart. I had read another book in this series so I was pleasantly surprised when I found this one too because they are so fun to read and are very entertaining. This starts out with a woman named Victoria who inherits a severely neglected house and calls the wrong number when she is trying to connect with a repairman. She calls Atlas who does not correct her mistake and who is instantly smitten with her voice. So much so that he makes plans to go see her posing as a repairman. When he meets her, he decides to help her fix her house because he is infatuated with her. He soon does not know how he is going to explain what he and his family really do for a living. It is a fun book to read.

Victoria has been gifted a wreak of a house by her parents who wanted her out of their house after she graduates. She urgently needs to get some repairs made and rings Granny and Boys Repair and Restoration. She has actually rung a computer shop but Atlas is entranced by her voice and goes out to see the property. He wants to help Victoria and arranges the repairs at her house. They start a relationship but Atlas isn't who he seems to be.
This book has some really great lines that had me laughing. The house had problems with racoons falling through the ceiling, interrupting special moments. "How would one explain to a doctor that one needs a rabies shot and maybe a tetanus shot because a raccoon bit one’s bangers and mash.”.

Wrong Number---Right Man for Her! Lindsey Hart returns with more humor and heartwarming goodness in the next book of the Bad for Me series. These ‘not the mafia, Mafia’ do-gooders are dropping lie flies to the women they love.
Atlas and Victoria’s story is funny and interesting, and it also gives the readers another glimpse into the characters from the previous books, especially Glock-wielding Granny! The premise of this story is refreshing because it is a bit out of the ordinary with the creepy house, the raccoons, the shy and quiet bookworm, and the damaged and vulnerable Atlas.
It was an enjoyable read and I’m looking forward to when his twin brother, Orion, falls prey to his true love in the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I loved The Wrong Number Book 4 of Bad for Me. Victoria was gifted an uninhabitable house by her parents. In dire need of help she calls around and ends up talking ti Atlas. He knows they don’t restore houses but he’s taken in by Victoria’s voice and offers to help. Now the house is going to be redone and she still thinks he’s in construction. As the lie gets deeper so do their feelings. Unfortunately, before Atlas can tell her the truth her parents discover the truth. Now Atlas has to hope it’s not too late and that Victoria will want to be part of his family. Another great story in the Bad For Me series. I just love these characters and this storyline was different in a good way. I would definitely recommend this book and the whole series.

This is a great addition to the Bad For Me Series and can be read as a standalone. I recommend you read the series if you want to find out about Granny and her boys. Talk about a great book and prepare to lose a little sleep. Be warned that once you start reading, you won't be able to put this book down. It all begins with a wrong number that Atlas received a call from a desperate Victoria thinking he was a home restorer. He's so mesmerized by her voice that he goes on the call and brings in a crew to repair her house. What happens when she finds out he is not who she thinks he is? No spoiler, buy you're going to love this book. Steamy and lots of fun banter. An HEA that you'll love and a fun read. I received a free advance reader copy via Booksprout and I voluntarily chose to review it.
Our heroine is rather desperate for some help with her house. That is not really our hero's line of work, but he is instantly addicted to her voice and rushes over to help. Pretty soon they are both going to need some help figuring out where things go next.
This book is part of a series, but each is written as a standalone, so start at any time.
This is something of an insta-love bad boy romance. The story is well written and easy to read with a fun plot and great characters. Both our hero and heroine are a bit naïve in a good way and it makes for some very entertaining moments. The story moves along at a nice pace and includes bits of romance, steam and humor. All of that combines to make for a very fun read. I look forward to more from this author.
Highly recommended.

I enjoyed reading The Wrong Number . It's a fantastic story . Atlas and his family take down bad guys by computer hacking and such . They set up a computer repair store as their cover . When he answers the business phone he is intrigued by the woman's voice and doesn't have the heart to tell her they are not a home repair and restoration company . When he and his twin brother Orion arrive he cannot resist the attraction and Victoria's beauty . He lets her think that he's in the improvement business so he can spend time with her . Soon the truth will come out . Victoria may not forgive Atlas easily.This story is full of humor and hot smoking chemistry . I highly recommend taking the time to read .

The fourth in the bad for me series has Victoria who has been given her Grans house to live in, more or less derelict she realises there’s no way she can renovate it herself so phones what she thinks is a home builders company. Atlas and his brothers now have a computer shop but this is a front for them hacking into bad criminals lives and destroying them. When he answers the phone and speaks to Victoria he is struck by her voice and wants to see her so turns up as arranged to ‘help’ her with the house. So we have another great read, where misunderstandings, hilarity and sexual tension are the order I the day. This is an entertaining and really enjoyable read, I think this is my favourite yet. Thank you Lindsay Hart for the ARC and my honest opinions
3.5****stars Victoria is given a run down house by her parents that originally belonged to her aunt. She has some savings that she can use for renovations. She makes a phone call for a tradesman to come out but she gets a computer repair shop. Atlas has answered the phone and can resist going out to her house. He is enamored by her and makes arrangements for work to be done on the house and he will pay for it so he can show it on his website. Well, he and his family are not in the computer business, as it is a front for a hacking business to take down some bad people. It’s a cute story and some laugh out loud situations. It’s nicely written, but I found it to be too long and slow for me.

This is book 4 of this series of standalone stories and that the main heroes are cyber vigilantes or something of the sort. In this one they are in between missions and they are in their front business when they receive the wrong call that will change Atlas life. Victoria is a very smart young woman that have never felt supported by her family. When she graduated her parents send her away and give her the unsellable, haunted house and a bye- bye. She need it help and fast and that is how she made the call that change her world. As always really cute story, no cheating, sweetness, a saucy granny and a HEA.

This is book four in the Bad for Me series. It is Atlas's turn to meet the woman who monopolizes his focus. The family is off to a small city style living in Bloominton, Indiana. With their computer repair company up and running, things are slow starting. Victoria is gifted her great-aunt's home as a graduation gift from her parents but it turns out to be a nightmare. Calling in some help seems like the best plan but she calls the wrong number or was it. Another fast paced, humor filled story of finding love where least expect it and having to come clean of the real family business. Enjoy!.

Atlas, Atlas, Atlas. Smitten and read to help in the time of need. A dilapidated house with racoon holes, thigh high weeds and a young lady who has him at the word "hello" Granny will not be happy with his shenanigans and Orin his twin wants him to listen to reason. Whoa! funny. i don't know how many holes a front and back porch can take. There is a method to the madness and another brother is on his way for googly eyes for his woman! love the bantering and the way the story has evolved like the rest of the brothers. Hmmmm how many more are left?.

I love Atlas. He is protective and he is kind and loving and so helpful. His guilt over not spending time with his family is a big part of his swoon factor. I love how sweet and shy and so naive Victoria is. I love how their chemistry is so strong and how they are together. Orion is going to fall hard when he finds his one. I wonder if granny will find her a companion? This family may be strange but they are so tied together. I need to find the first two books in this series. I love Lennox and Cass but I need the others.

The wrong Number is another perfect addition to the hilarious Bad for Me Series which is the story of Atlas and Victoria who meet over an accidental phone call. Victoria’s desperate call for needed house repairs triggers Atlas to help her even though his real job is fighting criminals since he is a member of the Not The Mafia, Mafia. The book focuses on Victoria and Atlas’ slow burn romance which over time becomes a true love story between two vulnerable characters. I highly recommend this enjoyable read.

Atlas’ family is still trying to get their computer shop up and running when they receive a phone call for a repair. Atlas is intrigued by the girl so he responds to her even though it is a home repair. Victoria and Atlas hit it off right away but Atlas is keeping some details from Victoria. Honestly, this was a bit of a slow read for me as not much happens. It’s not too long though and I want to keep up with the family. Usually love most of LH books so still worth a shot.

Atlas is intrigued with Victoria’s voice when she calls The Wrong Number. Then they both feel a connection when meeting . Atlas ignores his family, including twin brother for a bit. Victoria’s mom & dad give her an old family house that is rundown, outdated, possibly aunt haunted, raccoon infested, has a toilet monster & tall weeds. They spend time together and with contractors getting the house fixed. Atlas makes time for his family and they decide to tell her what they do and how to proceed. Granny is still her bad self. One last brother to find his other half.
I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review.
Atlas is in a secret illegal crime fighting family. He meets Victoria over a mistaken work phone call and is enamored with her voice. He falls in love with her at first sight and weaves a web of lies to keep in her good graces but has to answer for those lies when the truth comes out. I like the way the members of his family rally around him and how his granny can see into people’s feelings.
What a funny yet uplifting book. Granny strikes again with her boys. This time Atlas goes down for the count in a very awkward way. Victoria, not Vickie, has been overlooked ALL of her life and it seems that now is another of those times. When she’s in desperate need of help and mistakenly call the wrong kind of renovation company she definitely gets much more than she expects. Raccoons, crazy grannies, wildflowers and twin brothers! I can’t wait to see if Orion is next.

Very good romantic comedy, simple and cute 4.5 I liked this romantic comedy that seems to be between two shy people, but not that much 21-year-old Victoria inherits her great aunt's nearly-ruined house, and through an imbroglio linked to the name of their business, Atlas finds himself wanting to help her when he has no building skills. Their story is quite cute, funny, and tender, enhanced by the interventions of the Atlas family, always so funny, with the not very clear side of his grandmother. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Atlas and Victoria's relationship starts out in an interesting way. She needed help restoring her new to her run down home so she calls a repair and restoration place. From the moment Atlas hears Victoria's voice he's intrigued and when he meets her in person he falls for her instantly. I loved the way the author brought Atlas and Victoria together and how a wrong number ends in love. This is a fun romance with likable characters, humor, steam, and a happily ever after. The Wrong Number is a great addition to the Bad For Me series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
Victoria is now the proud owner of a big fixer upper job to live in, but when calling for a repair man she phones Atlas instead. Atlas should set Victoria Straigh, that he is not the man for the job but he can't, and in accepting the job, the two grow close but not all is as it seems will Victoria learn of Atlas true identity? Well written steamy opposites attract desires drama and more!.
