This book took me by surprise, in such an amazing way. I went in expecting a cute love story, but what I got was so much more. Right Kind of Wrong delved into a topic that was deep, dark and had me nervously turning the pages as fast as possible. That additional aspect of the story, along with characters I adored and dialogue that was hilarious and sexy, created a unique dynamic that made me fall madly in love with this book!

Not quite as good as the other two in my opinion, but good lord, I adored Jack. Jenna seriously pissed me off at times, but Jack is everything.

And of course I loved seeing Kayla & Daren and Pixie & Levi. I'm ready for a reread I think.

I received an advance reader edition of this book from Forever Grand Central Publishing and Net Galley for the purpose of providing an honest review.

4.5 Stars

I guess it is official....I love Chelsea Fine's writing. I have had the chance to read exactly 3 books written by Chelsea Fine and have enjoyed each and everyone of them. I literally consumed this book. I ended up reading the whole book in a single day. I had a lot of fun with this quick, easy read.

This book is the third book in the Finding Fate series but it could very easily be read as a stand alone novel. This book focuses on Jenna and Jack. We first met Jenna in Best Kind of Broken. She became best friends with Pixie in college, where they are roommates. Jenna and Jack are friends who met through working at the local bar. They are both drawn to each other and have acted on that one time but have never talked about it. Jenna is determined to not get herself involved in any kind of relationship.

When Jenna's mom calls to tell her that her grandmother thinks that the end may be coming (which she apparently does every year or two), she decides a road trip home to New Orleans is in order. It just so happens that Jack is from a small town near New Orleans and his family is in the middle of a crisis. One thing leads to another, and the pair are off on a road trip together. During the road trip, they learn quite a bit about each other and their feeling for one another.

Without question, Jack made this story. His character was loving, funny, and fierce when needed. He was not afraid to say what he felt and he was willing to risk everything for his family. I found that I liked Jenna but wanted to smack her a few times. She was so hung up on her master plan that she refused to see what was right in front of her. The chemistry between the characters was amazing. I actually felt that they needed to be together.

I would definitely recommend this book to others. Chelsea Fine's writing is well thought out with a plot that keeps the reader engaged in the story. I plan to continue reading this series and hope to read other works by this author. ...more

I loved that they were both tattooed and that they all had a meaning and history.

I'm a fan of Chelsea Fine and this series. I was looking forward to Jenna's book after meeting her as Pixie's best friend. She's all bada$$ and cool with her smart mouth and tattoos. I have to admit that I didn't like her as much as I thought I would. I kinda wanted to slap her upside the head throughout the whole book.

I'm a fan of Chelsea Fine and this series. I was looking forward to Jenna's book after meeting her as Pixie's best friend. She's all bada$$ and cool with her smart mouth and tattoos. I have to admit that I didn't like her as much as I thought I would. I kinda wanted to slap her upside the head throughout the whole book. However; I'm sure since this is not the first book in the series and you've probably read the others that you know that this author likes to write about broken characters. It's their 'baggage' that causes them to struggle with finding love. They think they have to fight it every step of the way, like it's an opponent. Jenna is a control freak with a 'plan'. As with all control freaks, you must always move toward the goal and check off your accomplishments on the way to achieving it. After watching her family members suffer, she thinks the solution is just to avoid relationships and depend only upon herself to get everything she wants in life, including a pig. For such a bright and determined girl she can't see the forest for the trees. Well, actually she does know the truth, she just stubbornly refuses to accept it and denial is her friend, but "truth always wins", right? EVERYONE knows how she feels about Jack, including Jack, but she continues to sleep with other men while she works 'the plan'. When she gets a call telling her she must get home because her grandma is dying, she decides to take a road-trip to save the airfare. She isn't rushing because her grandma claims to be dying every year. Last year when she got there she found her singing karaoke at the local bar. When Jack hears that she is making a trip home he decides to tag along because he needs to get home too and their family homes are close to each other. Of course he doesn't ask first, and of course she throws a fit, but of course she lets him come. While they have strong feelings about each other, and the sexual chemistry gets in the way, they are still friends. They might argue about what radio station to listen to and get on each other's last nerve, but they would fight to protect each other too. She knows that he is hiding something and she is very worried about him. How does she get him to let go and share his secrets when she won't even admit her own? How is she supposed to keep her distance, and avoid her feelings when they keep getting thrown together by circumstance? It doesn't help that EVERYONE keeps pushing her towards Jack, encouraging her to give him a chance. Even her mother tells her, "love is the absence of control and the presence of faith'. At one point I think Jenna joins the club and becomes frustrated with herself, knowing how she feels but refusing to give in, telling herself, "Sometimes there's a fine line between sticking to your guns and shooting yourself in the foot". In the meantime, there is danger and suspense waiting for Jack when he gets home. Jenna is gonna get to see another side of him, the bada$$ side. With their matching tattoos and their need to control it's an exciting read as you wait to find out who gets to be on top (wink-wink). ...more

“Love isn’t an obedient whim. It’s an unruly force and it answers to no one.”

I just finished reading the amazing third installment of the Finding Fate series, and let me tell you, I have one hell of a book hangover. Every time I start reading one of her books I think “Oh well I’ll just read a few chapters.” Yeah, that never happens, and this time was no different. I read the whole thing in less than 24 hours. Her writing style is so fresh and relatable its damn near impossible to put down.

Every time I start reading one of her books I think “Oh well I’ll just read a few chapters.” Yeah, that never happens, and this time was no different. I read the whole thing in less than 24 hours. Her writing style is so fresh and relatable its damn near impossible to put down.

This installment follows Jenna and Jack. Jenna is Pixie’s (from book #1) best friend. She is hopelessly in lust with her hot former co-worker friend, Jack. They only spent one night together and then never spoke of it again. They just went right back to their friendship as if nothing happened. However, they have both done nothing but think of that night for eight months. When unexpected family problems arise for both of them they are forced on a road trip together across the country and are also forced to deal with the feelings they have been avoiding.

The story is told from an alternating POV between Jack and Jenna. I really like this style of writing, as you get both perspectives and really get to know both characters. Jenna is strong and must maintain control of every aspect of her life. Allowing herself to fall for Jack would mean losing all control and she just cannot handle that. Jack is a sexy, confident man that has left a nasty past behind him. He is a perfect match for Jenna as he has no problem putting her in her place and calling her on her bullshit.
I honestly did not think it would be possible for me to love this story as much as I did the first two, but I think I loved it more. Something about Jack and Jenna just spoke to me. Everything about them was great. The way they joked and gave each other hell, the chemistry between… just everything. The flashbacks were great. Every girl has lied in bed at night unable to sleep, thinking about a guy and what happened between them, what you would do all over and what you would change if you could. This was a great teaser to what would come once these two finally decided to give in to their feelings.

Ms. Fine definitely upped the ante on the sex scenes in this one. They were more explicit and more frequent than in the previous two. It was not gratuitous or unnecessary in any way though. The emotions that were written in to each of these scenes were so real and raw that I had to go back and re-read a few pages. I just wanted to feel it all over again.

I know I am gushing but I just can’t say enough how much I love Ms. Fines work. The back story, the plot behind the love story, the chemistry between the main characters, the supporting characters, it all works together so effortlessly. Please, if you have not read anything from the Finding Fate series do so right away!

5 very well deserved stars and whiskey straight! Enjoy!

I’ve been on a lot of road trips, but none were as fun as reading Jack and Jessica’s trip. Jessica is well guarded, she not only scared of love, she’s terrified of it. Luckily she never had to deal with any of those feelings until she met Jack.

Jack is the complete opposite of Jessica, he sees what he wants and goes for it. He doesn’t take no for an answer and he’s been through enough in life to know whats worth fighting for.

"Love is the absence of control and the presence of faith. And you won't truly be happy until you surrender to it."

I have been really excited for Jack and Jenna's book for quite some time now. After meeting them in Best Kind of Broken, I was hoping we would get their story because I love the whole good friends turning more arc. Chelsea's stories always leave my heart so happy and full. Her characters are relatable and fun, and she creates such delicious sexual tension between them that you feel "Love is the absence of control and the presence of faith. And you won't truly be happy until you surrender to it."

I have been really excited for Jack and Jenna's book for quite some time now. After meeting them in Best Kind of Broken, I was hoping we would get their story because I love the whole good friends turning more arc. Chelsea's stories always leave my heart so happy and full. Her characters are relatable and fun, and she creates such delicious sexual tension between them that you feel as if you are going to burst at the seams yourself from wanting the two to realize their feelings for one another!

Jack and Jenna have become good friends since starting college life in Arizona. However, their friendship is currently.... well, a bit awkward. After spending the night together the previous year, they still have not discussed what happened between them. Which definitely makes for some weird moments, especially when it's obvious they are thinking about the night's events. Jenna refuses to acknowledge what happened and Jack won't bring it up. Therefore, the two are stuck in friend limbo. A road trip back to Louisiana will force the two to reexamine their friendship and feelings for one another, as they can't deny the simmering attraction between them.

Jenna Lacombe is one stubborn girl. So stubborn in fact, that I wanted to slap her a few times for being crazy. She has this great, sexy guy who happens to be someone she can trust implicitly and yet, she pushes him away because he's not a part of 'the plan'. Jenna craves control. She has seen firsthand the effects of what loving a man can do from her mother and she refuses to follow down that same path. Jenna only allows herself to see the negative effects of her mom's single-parenting. Her grandmother tries to help put things in perspective for her, but ultimately Jenna will have to see that allowing herself the chance to love doesn't mean her life will turn out the same way.

Jack, on the other hand, wants to have a relationship with Jenna. There's no doubt in his mind the two shared a connection that night together and he wants that again. He is frustrated that Jenna acts like that night never happened and I think he's a bit hurt as well. He is a good guy with a big heart and Jenna is a crazy person for not embracing that sooner than she did.

I like the sub plotline with Jack's family. He has taken on a lot of responsibility, being the eldest son in the family. Being back home, he realizes pushing his family away the way he did was not right and I'm glad we got to see him realize that and want to make things right. His family history is not the cleanest and he has some history of his own that he is not proud to admit. Catching a ride with Jenna so he can get back home to help them seems ideal at the time, but he never wanted Jenna to get involved with his past, let alone find out the things he had to do. He is sure she will freak out and run for the hills and he'll lose her forever.

As I said earlier, Fine creates some amazing sexual tension between her characters and this book is no exception. In fact, I think it may be the hottest of all three in the series! I loved seeing and feeling their connection to one another. Jenna wants to let Jack in, but she is terrified of the after effects. He makes her feel and she knows she's in love with him. She just can't bring herself to admit that to him, which hurts him and frustrates him, as he sees it too. They have such great banter together also. They fight and piss each other off, but it's just a front to their real feelings for one another. They fight passionately, because they love passionately and that is what makes it all the more exciting.

"A voice is an inescapable lover, unbidden and undeniable. You cannot unhear an enticing phrase or a whispered word, just as you cannot unfeel the heated breath that accompanies such things. And Jack's voice, especially when saying my name, is my total undoing."

Fans of the series will be happy to see Daren, Kayla, Ellen, Pixie, and Levi make small appearances. They don't play huge roles, but just enough to give us some insight as to how they are doing, which I'm always glad for.

Overall, I loved this one. I love Jack and Jenna together and how they are a support for one another. They are true friends to the core and it makes me giddy to see a romance form out of such a friendship. I enjoyed the storyline, felt the connection between the characters, and I cannot wait for whatever Fine does next!

I was hi-fiving the guys for the way they swept the girls off their feet. I loved every single minute of my reading escape!

Right Kind of Wrong is the third installment in the Finding Fate Series. It's from Jenna and Jack's POV, and let me tell you that these two are freakin' fire together! Holy hot chemistry! *Fans Self* We met Jenna in the first Installment, which is Best Kind of Broken. She's Pixie's best friend and she's a real I-don't-take-crap-from-anybody kind of heroine! Her heart beats faster when Jack is around her and she can't forget the extremely sexy night that they shared together. He gets deep under her skin and she does everything in her power to push him away because falling in love is not part of her ''Plan''. But, Jack is persistent and he will do everything in his power to make her see that giving their love a chance has a place in her ''Plan''.

I read this book in one sitting because I could not put it down!!! This story had some twists that I was not expecting. When Jack and Jenna go back home we get a few surprises. I was like ... What?!?!?! Holy moly! This is all kinds of trouble! I don't like to give out spoilers so I won't explain what happens back home, but I will say this ... it was my favorite part of the story because that's when Jack takes over the story and swept me off MY feet! *Swoon* The way he takes care of his family and Jenna. Awwww!!! My heart was super happy!!! At one point of the story I was literally screaming at Jenna to wake-up and smell the coffee because she was going to let an unbelievable man walk out of her life. Oh my crap! That girl was stubborn!!!! Thank God, Jack knew exactly what to say and do to win her heart :) He was so patient with her! <3

Chelsea Fine exceeded all of my expectations! I can't get enough of this series! The writing style is amazing and the characters are extremely lovable and funny. I LOL a couple of times when Jack's mom was around. OMG!! She was so funny!!! And, don't even get me started with Jenna's grandmother .... Teehee!

This book can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the two previous books because Pixie, Levi, Kayla and Daren are all kinds of awesome! I loved all the little scenes that these couples had in Right Kind of Wrong. I love to check-in with them! I really hope that this is not the end of the Finding Fate Series. I really want Ellen to get her own book :) She's such an amazing character! I really want her to get her HEA.

I give, Right Kind of Wrong, by Chelsea Fine 4.5 fun, sexy, exciting, page-turning stars! ...more

Jenna = ANNOYING I mean, I love that she was a loving grand daughter, a loving sister...independent.. but not to THAT extent. THAT she won't fall in love???? THAT she won't settle?? I understood her notions of love and what it did to her grandma and mom, but really???? Could that really happen to her??? With Jack???? Jenna.. Jenna.... Stop over thinking? Will ya?!

I love their chemistry. I felt the undeniable connection there. And when they do try to "physically connect":...my oh my! For me, that was the hottest love scene Ms. Chelsea Fine has written! I read a lot of steamy scenes but the ones with Jack and Jenna really stood out. There was that connection that was beyond physical level. I felt that it was something more, specially for Jack. And I love him for making Jenna feel that "something. "

Overall, I love this book and if Ms. Fine was still planning to write more on this series? I would gladly and excitedly wait and read it for sure!

Once I started this series I just could not stop. I read all three within a matter of days and it’s been a very long time since I’ve devoured a series like that. I’ve said it in my reviews of the other books, but these books bring me back to the original new adult books. They have the feel of the new adult books I read when the genre was new and I think that’s why I enjoyed them so much. I’ve missed books like this. And while I enjoyed them all, Right Kind Of Wrong is definitely my favorite of the three.

The reason this one is my favorite is all because of Jenna and Jack. I loved Jenna from the moment I met her in Best Kind Of Broken and I just loved her more when I finally got inside her head. Jenna is tough and fierce and wild and independent and I adore her. She has a plan and while she needs to learn to alter it a bit, I so admire that she has such strong goals. I know Jenna is the kind of heroine that a lot of readers are going to struggle with, but the reasons most struggle with her are all the reasons I love her.

Then there is Jack and holy hell did I love Jack. I fell hard for him just like Jenna. I didn’t stand a chance. He is tough and strong and oh my those tattoos. Jack is the exact kind of hero I am a real sucker for. He has a bad boy vibe but he is a good guy. And he is unashamed with his feelings towards Jenna and he lets her know it. He loves Jenna and he wants Jenna and he has no problem telling her so and waiting for her to realize what he already knows. I’m surprised my ovaries didn’t explode.

I think the other thing I loved about this one was that it was a bit darker and grittier than the other two. There is definitely a darker underbelly to this one and it’s much grittier. I always go on and on about sweet and lighthearted romances, but then I get my hands on a gritty one and I go out of my mind. Clearly I’m a sucker for a story with a darker vein.

Right Kind Of Wrong is a really good read and I fell hard for Jack and Jenna. I’m so glad I finally read this series because it was exactly what I needed. I know this is a series I will visit again. ...more

Oh, Chelsea Fine, why can I not stop reading you!?

The plot is silly, the characters are unfathomably attractive (and messed up) and this one involves organised crime! The predictable silliness aside, I devoured this in two sittings. Fine is very easy to read and the story flies by at a quick pace. The alternating chapters between Jenna and Jack work well, though sometimes I do wonder if boys do think that way or if us girls just wish they did, and these two are much less annoying than the pair f ...more

Jul 31, 2015 Quinn's Quippy Quotes rated it it was amazing

Shelves: own, paperback

I really enjoyed this whole series. This book was quite different than the first two. It may take you by surprise. The first 2 really focus on loss, so I kind of assumed that this one would as well. The conflict in this book didn't have as much depth and that's the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of the 5 stars I gave the other two. I still really enjoyed it and would highly recommend the entire series. I would love to see a fourth book about Ellen, and perhaps the ending of this book was some ...more

Shelves: audiobooks

This audiobook flew right by for me. I really liked fiery Jenna and just as fiesty Jake as they made their way cross county, and then dealt with some heavy and even dangerous problems once they reached home in Louisiana. 4.5 out of 5, full review to come.

I really liked this, especially because it had something to do with drug dealing. I don't know why but I just find those scenarios so interesting!

The story was well written with strong characters. The secondary characters were engaging as well. There is a dark element to the story but it doesn't overwhelm.

Originally Reviewd on Bewitching Bibliophile

Finally!! I took forever to read this one and I have loved the series since the first one. I can't wait until she writes a spin-off about Ellen because Aunt Ellen is awesome and deserves a second chance. She drops wisdom on the girls which allows them to see what happens when you take certain paths and I'm here for it.

Finally!! I took forever to read this one and I have loved the series since the first one. I can't wait until she writes a spin-off about Ellen because Aunt Ellen is awesome and deserves a second chance. She drops wisdom on the girls which allows them to see what happens when you take certain paths and I'm here for it.

In this one it's another companion novel about Pixie's roommate and best friend Jenna who doesn't believe a woman needs romantic love; this stems from her past and what she's seen happen to the women in her family. In defiance of what happened to them, she's created the perfect plan, she's decided her future won't include a man in it because they can derail a woman's dreams. While I understand where she's coming from she's not thinking about what happens when the men who love you leave without a choice, they die in some way and still your life is changed but she's only worried about them leaving by choice. She can see that her friends have found men who won't leave but she refuses to believe that can be the same for her.

Jack's family life was batshyt crazy. Being from a small town, there isn't much of a choice about what he's going to do and become. Yet given the chance, he runs away to better himself after doing his best to make sure his family would be ok. While he's gone the past returns to undo everything he's sacrificed for and his brother is left with a price on his head. Can Jack figure out what is going on before someone collects on his brother?? How will this impact his relationship with Jenna??

Jenna's Grandmother is having her annual she's dying moments and Jenna's not happy to have to travel back home due to the old woman's manipulations. Even though she won't say it, this is a great way for her to come home and see the family without feeling guilty about the money she has to spend.

They have a road trip that brings them closer and opens her eyes to who Jack is more than before but because she's not willing to have him in her life she doesn't notice the strain he's under until a big fight happens. I loved that Jack was emotionally stronger of the two. He saw in her what he wanted and even though it hurt he never pushed her into what he wanted because really he wanted her to be happy. On the way there she and Jack spend time together trying to get past that moment last winter when their relationship changed. Jenna's got a life plan and Jack's not in it. Except for everytime, she thinks about leaving him behind she panics.

I'm not sure I could have dealt with his family issues as calmly as Jenna did, I probably would have had to take some time but this is how we knew she cared more than she was willing to admit. Realizing that Jack was more complex than she gave him credit for opened Jenna's eyes to the fact that she did have love in her life even if it wasn't the romantic love she believed no one needs. Watching her and her family interact and her realizing just how good she had it made her such a great character to read. Their growth was awesome to read, while she doesn't abandon her plans for love, she finally realizes that the right people in your life enhance it.

I loved their moments together especially when they got intimate. The push and pull of them wanting to be together and Jenna being the one too scared to dive right it made when she did make love to him that much sweeter. Their love was beautiful and painful and those last few chapters?? Whew it made my heart hurt.

A good conclusion to the friends' stories, I am however hoping for a story on Ellen who helps others realize their potential and is hurting because she came to the conclusion too late.

Dec 18, 2018 Molly rated it did not like it

Honestly was just very bored throughout. The main characters (and every character remotely mentioned in this book) were super unlikeable and frustrating. The plot was a lot of nothing with a very unrealistic side plot thrown in and tied up in one page.

I get that this is fiction and situations needed to be set so that the main characters would get together, but oh my god it was painful. Every cliche in the book was thrown in here: the forced hotel room sharing, the I have to wear your clothes for ...more

3.5 Rating

I listened to all three books in the series on audiobook, and I really enjoyed them this way. For book three, I enjoyed hearing about the characters from book one and two and learning where they have gone since leaving them from their stories.

I liked the story between Jack and Jenna. They have a friendship already, and of course, they have feelings for each other. The first half they go on a road trip home together where they are faced to deal with their feelings for each other…and the ...more
