Summary
Seven years ago, Cambri Blaine fled her small hometown of Bridger, Colorado after her senior year of high school ended in a fiasco. But now her father needs help, and Cambri has no choice but to return home. So with trepidation, she takes a leave of absence from the landscape architecture firm where she works and heads home, hoping against hope that Jace Sutton is no longer around and that the past can stay where it belongs-in the past. If only life worked that way.
Jace never expected to see Cambri again. After she walked out of his life without a backward glance, he was left with no choice but to try to forget her and move on. But now that Cambri is back and looking more beautiful and sophisticated than ever, some of those old feelings resurface, and Jace instinctively knows, for the sake of his heart, that he needs to avoid her at all costs. If only it were that easy.
My Review
In Righting a Wrong we get to find out what happens to Jace, who used to be the heroine's boyfriend in the last book. Jace is a down-to-earth, great guy. He's a little more reserved than some other heroes, but I really liked him. I also really felt for him and wanted him to get his happily-ever-after. I loved that I was able to sit down and read Righting a Wrong (and really each of the novellas in this series) and feel satisfied that I could read it in one sitting, delve deep into the story while doing it, and in the end be satisfied. It's just really nice to have that feeling and to know I'm going to find out what happens to the two MC's, but also be happy with the outcome.
Cambri hasn't ever really moved on from Jace. They were the best of friends and she feels she ruined that. She doesn't get along with her dad (still doesn't really when she comes back) and so hasn't been back home for six years. Her dad definitely spices things up in this story. Him and Jace's grandfather really add a lot to this story. Cambri isn't even expecting for Jace to still be living in her hometown, but she finds out how wrong she was when she begins running into him everywhere. I really loved the dialogue between her and Jace! I loved that even though Jace has all these emotions, he keeps them inside and he challenges Cambri. There were some great moments between the two of them and several that were just flat-out hilarious and then some that were really sweet.
This was another great read for me from this series! I loved the characters, the dialogue, the plot, and, of course, the wonderful ending. It was sweet, funny, and romantic, and included some great characters. I would definitely recommend it to chick-lit lovers everywhere.
Now I can't wait to find out what happens to Jace's sister, Lydia, in the next novella in this series, Lost and Found. Join me again in two weeks to find out what I thought. :)

Excerpt
Like now.
Cambri could practically hear the figurative boomerang whooshing toward her as recognition dawned on Jace’s face—the kind of recognition that came when seeing someone from your past you’d rather not see.
“Hey, Jace,” was all she could come up with to say. She clutched the pruning shears, frantically trying to think of something more. “Long time no see.”
He glanced at the shears, and a few awkward seconds passed before he responded. “Yeah, long time.”
“I was just, uh . . .” Cambri brushed a few dried leaves off the shears and held them up—“trying these out. They’re sharper than I expected. I’ll take them.”
“Will you take the hose too, or was it the sprinkler head you were also trying out?”

Added it to my tbr list :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked her first book Working It Out so I am sure I would really love these as well.
ReplyDeleteKind of a cute whimsical cover!
ReplyDeleteThis one is a definitely must! Great choice this week!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this was so fun to see and to know how much work must go into these fabulous covers!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that even thought it's a novella you been really enjoying them. It sounds like the author managed to fit everything nicely under a small book and leave you walking away satisfied!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, this looks like it's going to be fun! I love a good mystery and have enjoyed some shadow mountain books.
ReplyDeletewonderful choice!
ReplyDeleteenjoy seeing the process, that is really lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love Rachael Anderson. I've read two of her other books and adored them both. I'll have to get this one!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes! I can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteI really do need to pick up the first book in this series...
ReplyDeleteI have read the first in the series, and I enjoyed it. I didn't love it like so many others did, but I am still interested in finishing up the series so this one is on my list, too!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the title alone sound so fun?!!! :)
ReplyDeleteVery whimsical. I'm thinking there has got to be some humor in there besides the romance and suspense.
ReplyDeleteIt does look and sound really fun. I'm really looking forward to reading it!
ReplyDeleteWasn't it??!!! I really loved seeing that from start to finish.
ReplyDeleteIt was really fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you definitely would!
ReplyDeleteYes. That is one big plus with these so far. Sometimes novellas feel really unfinished and that can really bother me. With these I have felt satisfied each time with where the story started and ended, although you really have to read them all in a row I think for it to be as satisfying. Like in the last book if I hadn't of known Jace was going to get a HEA ending in the next book I might have been more disappointed. They were really smart with this series.
ReplyDeleteI really like her too! I think you'd definitely like these, but especially this one!
ReplyDeleteI really can't wait. I just noticed that B&N has the special edition, but I wouldn't get it on release day unless I paid extra or grabbed one at a physical store, which would also cost me more. I may end up with two copies and then give the regular copy away...
ReplyDeleteLove this series!!!
ReplyDeleteIt just makes me happy thinking about reading it in two months! It felt like it was taking forever...well, it was, but now it's almost here!
ReplyDelete0.0 Um. YES!!! ;) Although, the second book is my favorite so far. The best new character EVER in Sturmhond!!!
ReplyDeleteSo you haven't read the second book, Siege and Storm?? I actually liked that one better. It's just so very clever, emotional, dark, but also so very good.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this one either. After that ending…what is going to happen?? Great pick! ~Pam
ReplyDeleteI love darker stories. I was excited about the first book, but I was a little disappointed that I didn't go crazy over it like I thought I would. I haven't read Siege and Storm yet. Now, I am more than willing to give it a shot. I think, with just a little more SOMETHING, I will go crazy for this series!
ReplyDeleteOne day I will actually start the series! I cannot wait, I have heard so many great things about it :).
ReplyDeleteI just need to get these! They all sounds so good, and I love the covers they are all so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover, and I like you, hope to get to review it if/when it comes up for review!
ReplyDeleteI want to read this so bad! Awesome pick. :)
ReplyDeleteMy WoW: http://roseshadowink.wordpress.com/2014/04/16/grabby-paws-the-treatment-by-suzanne-young/
I really loved this one and I love the the story continues in a way.
ReplyDeleteYes! :)
ReplyDeleteEeep! Yes, exactly. :D
ReplyDeleteI think you'll love this one. Mal annoys me sometimes, but we'll see how I feel in the end.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I'm not alone in my book geekishness. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really interesting! Thanks for sharing. I am dying to read Winter, the fourth in the Lunar Chronicles. I need it!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Winter will be a WOW whenever the cover is revealed. :)
