*This book is a standalone novel*"You don't think I know how messed up this is? You think I don't know how sick and twisted it is of me to want you? I know this is wrong. I know I shouldn't even be thinking about you in this way but that doesn't change the fact that I do! Samantha, I want you every second of every minute of every day and it's killing me. I can't stay away from you anymore, I just can't do it. I need you and I know you feel the same way about me. We belong together and nothing you say or do is going to convince me otherwise. When I'm with her... I'm aching for you, I physically hurt because I can't be with you and I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do to make this right! Every single night you manage to invade my dreams, you consume every damn thought I have and there's no escaping it. The idea of never being able to have you is making me crazy. You're driving me insane and I'm seriously close to losing my mind if you tell me I can't have one more night with you. I can't sleep, I can't eat... I can't even think about anything else other than you. You're not the wrong girl, Samantha, she is." - Zack."There are roughly seven billion people in the world. Seven billion people and I've somehow managed to fall in love with the only person I can't have. The only man on this earth who I can't be with and who I should never, ever want. He's my soul mate, my saviour and the only man I need. He's also my sister's fiancé." - Samantha.Samantha is 23 and broken. She's always been the one and only disappointment within her superficial and judgemental family. Over the years she's given up on the idea of pleasing them, the only one who's ever treated her fairly is Rachel and that's why she doesn't mind when all of the praise and glory is bestowed upon her older and extremely beautiful sister. She has never envied Rachel before... until now.Samantha feels something for her sister's fiancé from the first moment that she sees him. He's kind, gentle, unbelievably gorgeous and incredibly off-limits. She knows she shouldn't want him but no matter what she does she can't seem to get him out of her head. Of course all of the guilt and emotional torment that she's dealing with is pointless because he doesn't feel the same way about her... does he?Zack doesn't understand the indescribable, overwhelming connection that he feels to his fiancé's younger sister. At first he convinces himself that he only feels sorry for her, he doesn't understand why the family he's marrying into treat her like an outcast. He's determined to find out what happened to this girl to make her so introverted and distrustful but even Rachel advises him to leave well alone. As he becomes more integrated within his fiancé's world, Zack finds himself inextricably drawn to the extraordinary demure girl who's about to become his sister-in-law. He can't get her out of his head and the need to be with her compels him to seek more from her than he should ever desire.How long can Samantha and Zack deny what they're feeling and stay away from one another? And will he still be there for her after he discovers her dark secret, one that she's concealed for sixteen years?Decisions must be made and hearts will inevitably be broken when Zack is forced to make his choice. He's always believed his attraction for Samantha to be wrong and he has come to despise himself for wanting the wrong girl but what if his own fiancé might just be the wrong girl for him?Wrong Girl is a story about forbidden love, envy, passion and heartache, a story about two people who fall in love in the very worst of circumstances.*** This New Adult romance novel contains mature themes, strong language, sexual situations and possible triggers regarding sexual abuse that may distress some readers. It is recommended for readers 18+ ***… (more)

******SPOILERS******

Hits practically ALL my worst triggers:
- Hero engaged to her sister
- He loves AND adores his fiancée (to whom he proposed in the most beautifully romantic way EVER)
- Hero and ow have been together for a year
- He cheats on OW with h
- He sleeps with OW while he pursues the h
- Ow pregnant from H
- He sleeps with OW and the next night with the h
- Abused, downtrodden h who suffers from severe anxiety
- Their relationship is based on chemistry, not love and my first choice is always love, sappy ole romantic that I am
- She’s TOO weak and broken
Etc…etc…etc…


Has some of my fav scenarios:
- Alpha male
- Forbidden
- The idea of her brings him to his knees
- Their connection is immediate, raw and they’re utterly horrified at the idea of being attracted to each other
- He can't sleep, eat, has no peace, cannot EXIST without her
- Pursues her, fights for her, wants to demolish every single person and situation posing a threat to their union, makes the most irrational decisions because of the effect she has on him and agonises over her ALL. THE. TIME.
- His jealously and possessiveness is off the charts
- She’s etched into his “brain with permanent marker”
- He INVADES her life, her whole being – if she’s weak before she met him, she’s now decimated - as tormented as he is
- The intensity of their connection is exhausting
- He ALWAYS chooses her – no matter what the cost
- He NEVER leaves her


I shouldn't like this story. Has more of my "wrongs" than my "rights".
- Insta love - the whole book takes place within a period of 6 months only
- There's is no solid HEA although they are together at the end of the book
- So we don't get to see a glimpse into their further, whether they really do work or not
- They're not particularly likable or strong in character
- They're selfish and self-serving
- Their union probably won’t stand the test of time
- Once a cheater always a cheater


BUT....I'll read it again.....
