18509616It’s Not Easy Being Right…

Vanessa Campbell is a CPA by day and a perfectionist by night. She’s fit, successful…and decidedly lonely. She can’t stop thinking about the youngest McCauley brother, Cameron. He’s just like her: smart, attractive, and usually rightβ€”except when dealing with her.

…But Someone’s Got To Do It.

Cameron McCauley likes Vanessa a little too well. She’s a blond goddess with a razor-sharp tongue. She hates to be wrong, just like him. But she can hold a grudge and is stubborn to a faultβ€”also like him.

A past misunderstanding has them rubbing each other the wrong way. Cam is dying to shake Vanessa upβ€”get her to let loose. But if he succeeds, can his heart handle it?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

What a great book! The author had well developed characters and a way of writing that drew me in right away. I loved both Cam and Vanessa as well as the other members of this family. It takes you through how not talking things out and airing your thoughts can lead to many misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Both Cam and Vanessa had a lot in common but each had difficulties talking about their feelings to the other. Everyone could see what they could not. Vanessa was very head strong and not one for admitting being wrong. She felt that no one could possibly love her for the long haul as every boyfriend she ever had did and never lasted past a couple of dates. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good romantic read with some steamy sex thrown in.

 

Excerpt

β€œColin,” Cam tried again. β€œYou know dumping water on someone in the shower is a no-no. And especially Ubie’s new girlfriend.” Ubieβ€”short for Uncle Brody. Brody Singer, the blond β€œadopted” McCauley who had grown up as part of the family

β€œBut he told me to do it.”

Cam blinked. β€œHe did? Well, you should never—”

β€œDad thought it was kind of funny after he yelled at me.” Colin gave him a sharp nod, then added with a smirk, β€œDad said he used to do that to you, and that you cried like a girrrl.” Considering Colin’s anti-girl phase, that was a high insult.

β€œIs that right?” Cam frowned, remembering being the butt of too many jokes while growing up. β€œMike has no idea what he’s dealing with. You think your dad’s tough? Watch Uncle Cam.” Knowing he shouldn’t encourage the mischief in his nephew’s eyes but unable to stop himself from the unspoken dare, Cam hurried to the kitchen, found a large glass and filled it with ice-cold water. Considering the freezing January wind outside, Mike would be basking in a hot shower to warm up. Cam grinned, looking forward to his brother’s howl of misery.

Colin trailed him like a puppy. β€œOh wow, Uncle Cam. Are you going to get Dad?” He clapped.

β€œShh.”

β€œOh, sorry.” Colin’s big grin showed a missing front tooth.

Cam walked down more ugly brown carpet that looked as it if had been vacuumed to deathβ€”Mike and his obsession with cleanlinessβ€”and tiptoed into the big guy’s room. He made sure he had a clear exit. If his goliath big brother caught him, he’d be toast. Fortunately, he could move like a gazelle.

Gliding into the master bathroom, he readied himself. One, two…three. He yanked open the curtain and tossed the cold water at…Vanessa Campbell?

He stared in shock at the sexiest woman he’d seen in a long, long time. Naked, her creamy skin glistened with water as she gaped at him in horror. Which quickly turned to anger.

β€œCameron McCauley!”

β€œOh, wow.” He couldn’t look away
