Wrong

By: Jana Aston

Narrated by: Erin Mallon

Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher's Summary

I have a history of picking the wrong guy. Gay? Player? Momma's boy? Check, check and check.

Now I can't stop fantasizing about one of the customers at the coffee shop I work at between classes. It's just a harmless crush, right? It's not like I ever see this guy outside of the coffee shop. It's not like I'm going to see him while attempting to get birth control at the student clinic. While wearing a paper gown. While sitting on an exam table. Because he's the doctor. Shoot. Me.

But what if, for once, the man I've had the dirtiest, most scandalous fantasies about turned out to be everything but wrong?

ABSOLUTELY & POSITIVELY NOTHING 'WRONG' HERE

And this book was actually oh so right on so many levels.. especially when the flirty, fun and fairly angst free storyline describes a scene where the 21 yr old virginal College student/barista mortifyingly meets her suit-wearing coffee shop crush/fantasy man when she comes face to face with her Gynaecologist who turns out to be all kinds of Dr. McDreamy. And, before too long, there are steamy scenes where the droolworthy dirty talking Doctor is masterfully showing her what he likes in the bedroom.. the kitchen.. his office.. well anywhere that he can get his very talented hands on her.

A thoroughly enjoyable and totally entertaining story that was h.o.t. HOT between an alpha 35 yr old doctor who is wealthy, successful charismatic, possessive and dominant and a naive, insecure, smart, easy-going virgin who gets swept up in all things McHottie.. and I don't blame her one bit. There were well described scenes, good secondary characters, a b'tch of an ex who stirs up some trouble and only climaxes of the pleasurable kind are found here in this very rewarding listen that was told from the heroine's POV. Erin Mallon's narration was perfect in bringing this easy-going easy-flowing lighthearted listen to life.

Worth a credit? Yes and, as I smirked, blushed, snorted, swooned and sniggered my way through this far too short listen, I knew that I'd soon be purchasing the rest of Jana Aston's books.

What a Debut Novel!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Wrong is fun, flirty and oh, so sexy! Narrator Erin Mallon somehow made author Jana Aston's sex scenes even more scintillating! I was more than a little distracted when driving!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved Sophie. She is an excellent balance of insecurity, naiveté and poise.

What does Erin Mallon bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator was excellent. Different voices for each character. She didn't "over-do" the male characters. Her depiction of the main character was a perfect blend of naivety and curiosity.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Can Mr. Right by so wrong?

Any additional comments?

Wrong is the debut novella by indie author, Jana Aston. Let me tell you, there is a lot right with Wrong.

I adored main characters Sophie and Luke—individually and as a couple. Luke is a smart, successful, handsome, polite, knows his way around a woman’s body, swoon-worthy sort of man. He is a thoughtful guy who’s actions speak volumes about his character and his feelings toward other people. Virginal Sophie is pretty insecure, and yet, at times, she has a lot of poise for someone so young and inexperienced.

The secondary characters are a mixed bag. Some were developed enough and some were not more than a mention (with and without a solid position in moving the plot along). Jean the sex-crazed dorm roommate is great. She’s a good friend who clearly is more experienced that Sophie. Co-worker and bestie, Everly, is a great friend who I didn’t warm up to when I first read the book. Merideth, Alex, and Bella are part of Luke’s family—Bella is adorable, Meredith is super nice, Alex is barely mentioned. Gina is left mysterious; she appears sophisticated, but her schemes felt beneath her level of social-class, education and sophistication. Dr. & Mrs. Miller—their role is to show the dichotomy of Sophie’s and Luke’s life/upbringing. They’re not supposed to be likable, but it was overplayed a bit in a couple scenes. I would have liked them to have more of a role, and had their agendas built into the plot a bit more to create more tension and angst.

Sophie, a college senior, working as a barista at a local coffee shop gets a weekly thrill serving one particularly hot customer who comes every Tuesday. Many days, it’s the little things, like a special customer, that get you through your work day. Luke, the object of her desires, is an OB/GYN who volunteers at the student clinic every Tuesday. The hilarity begins soon after that opening scene of the book. Dry humor is sprinkled throughout the story; there is just enough humor to make the book fun without it taking over the romance/love story. Ms. Aston has paced her plot well. There is never a point where the story drags or goes off on a tangent. Each scene revealed something about the main characters. I liked that readers (and to some degree the main characters) had to think about what was revealed about a character and how that fit into the story instead of the author “telling” readers what it meant.

Overall, Wrong by Jana Aston is a great first outing by an indie author. I LOVED the humor in the story. I immensely enjoyed Sophie’s first pelvic exam. It will bring back memories for every female reader. I think I might have liked a dual perspective narrative as it would have added depth and forced further development of some character. Luke’s activities would have had to have been explored—many of the secondary characters are related to Luke. That said, being as surprised as Sophie made for a little more angst and surprise for the reader. The dialogue between the main characters was easy and believable. I didn’t like the more banal pet names (a pet peeve of mine and I didn’t think it fit with the character), but most readers won’t care. I would have loved to see Ms. Aston delve a little deeper into Luke’s and Sophie’s relationship. The characters have great sexual chemistry and their overall chemistry could have been explored more outside the bedroom. For example, Sophie tells Luke that she doesn’t understand why he loves her and Luke doesn’t respond. Frankly, as a reader (or Luke’s girlfriend), I want that answer. If Sophie had been a more secure character, I would have expected her to push for answers to all her (readers’) questions instead of letting Luke side step them.

A 4.5 star read for me.

A book only for the sex

The sex is hot, but we see little of characther development from Luke and Sophie is a little too stupid at times.

Uncomfortable with their age difference

Strange book - never learned anything about main characters but their sexual attraction to each other. Shallow storyline. End of book wrapped things up nicely though.

Boring

Boring story and extremely dirty talk is definitely not my thing... I think is offensive, not hot at all.

I was unaware

I was unaware that this story was a knock off of Fifty Shades of Grey when I purchased it as a recent Audible Daily Deal selection. I'm no prude, but as soon as I realized what was really going on, I kind of lost interest in the plot. The language is extremely unapologetic. Do college women really talk like this? Chiefs of Obstetrics? I guess anything goes in the bedroom, but instead of finding the story erotic, I thought it was just a little on the raunchy side. A little dirty talk is fine, but filthy? Not my cup of tea. Anywho... this story is kind of like 50 Shades meets Pretty Woman meets Grey's Anatomy meets Cinderella. But it's a cute, albeit impractical, storyline. At least there was no BDSM. Three cheers for that.

Disappointed

I was encouraged by all the five star reviews, but when I actually started listening I was very disappointed.

I felt the story was predictable, far fetched and, well, gross. I realize this is fiction, but I couldn't get past the fact that Luke was Sophie's gynecologist.

Plus, her reason for leaving her college boyfriend was lame if you consider that she was willing to have a sexual relationship with her doctor!

I wanted to like it. The dirty talk didn't bother me. The age difference between the main characters was fine too. I simply don't understand why everyone thought this story was so awesome.

I tend to not care for college-age stories because the characters and storylines are too immature for my taste.

The narration was good.

didn't like

I didn't like this story. I struggled to get past their age differences and felt like when she went in for the initial exam that it was just too weird and crossed a professional line. Kinda grossed me out

HOT & FUNNY all in one book!!!

I really enjoyed this book! I practically stayed up all night finishing it! I loved the honesty between these two! They had a very hot but also fun relationship!! I found myself laughing out loud at 3 am! This author did a great job at giving us as fairly short story (not short but not very long either) that didn't feel like an insta- love, was crazy hot and still gave us a great book with a complete story! That's not easy to find these days in a romance book! I'll be listening to more by the author for sure! Can't wait for Right!

Narration was great, even if I do love a dual narrated book, Erin Mallon did a great job on both parts. Great Choice!

Brilliant!

OMGoodness I'd forgotten just how brilliant this book is! Fantastic narration from Erin Mallon. You won't want to miss it!

Sexy Gynaecologist meets Undergrad

Great topic and story, loved the dynamic between these two. For me the best book of the series followed by fling.
Downright dirty in parts and laugh out loud funny.
Narration excellent.

Brillian, funny and sexy

I loved this book and the characters. The writing was funny and a bit daring. The sex was hot. Yes occasionally Sophie was a bit whiny but she's only 21. Give her a break. Plus, Luke s occasionally a sullen douche. But oh so hot. I could not stop listening to this. i mssed a da,ned dental appointment because I was up all night listening,

This book is not for prudes. If you don't like hearing about sex, especially anal sex then cover your dainty little ears. If you're a woman of the world and like it hot, this is the book for you.

loved it

just great loved the book and even better on audible Sophie and Lukes story is just great
