Waking up naked to a cop looming over your bed was not what Talia thought would happen when she sublet an apartment last minute. Talia was focused on her upcoming ballet chance that could catapult her career and the next she is sharing an apartment with broody DEA agent Reed Bishop.
Reed doesn't need the headache of Talia but he feels he should keep her safe and find his missing informant. Reed cannot deny he is attracted to Talia but his ex did a number on him and he doesn't want to get burned again. The problem is he is falling for Talia and doesn't want to let her go, but what happens if he does?
Loved the beginning of this book. I liked that some of their interaction was awkward and built up over time, it made it more realistic. Highly entertaining and perfect one to pick up for a lazy day in.

Though they're in the same series, Wrong Bed, Right Girl is totally different from Wrong Bed, Right Roommate. The heroine in this one, Talia, is the sister of the hero in WBRR, and she's just moved out of the apartment to let her brother and best friend have their own space. Unfortunately, the prima ballerina she's subletting from was an informant for the DEA and she's left town and the ballet for *reasons.* Talia's pretty much taken over her life, which means that when Reed comes to check on Stacey, he ends up literally falling into the bed that's now Talia's.
Unlike the first book, I had to suspend a lot of disbelief for this setup. A strange, giant man falls into my bed (he unlocked the door?!) in the middle of my first night in a new apartment? Yeah, I'm freaking out and DEFINITELY not going home with him. Even if he shows me his badge. (Oh and the hero manages to ogle her accidentally-exposed breast during her reasonable freakout.) I stuck with it because I loved the first book so much, so bear with me here.
Moving on from this improbable setup, they're now living together and things progress about as expected. This is a tropey erotic romance, so they end up having all sorts of sex in all sorts of places. Brooks employs the masturbating-while-thinking-of-you plot device, as well as condoms and lube and um... actual handcuffs on the roof the police station. (I promise it's consensual and weirdly hot.)
One of the reasons I don't read a lot of romantic suspense is because I often feel the suspense part overshadows the romance. This wasn't the case here, since the crime bits are at the beginning and the end, but I still wasn't feeling the emotional connection between the two main characters. They definitely seemed turned on by each other, but the romance bit was sort of forced. The epilogue was the most romance-y part of the book, so I get the feeling the author/editor knew it needed something more to secure that HEA.
TL;DR - This is a very sexy book with some things you may have to ignore and is higher in heat and lower in feels.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review via NetGalley.

Wrong Bed, Right Girl is the second book in the Accidental Love series and tells the story of Talia and Reed. Although Wrong Bed, Right Girl is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone.
Wrong Bed, Right Girl is such a cute Contemporary Romance about two people who accidentally met and fell in love. Wrong Bed, Right Girl was really fast paced and I read this book in one day. This was the first book I’ve read by Rebecca Brooks and this won’t be the last one!
I really liked the characters because they were so different. Talia is a ballerina and says what she thinks and Reed is a DEA Agent who doesn’t use that many words. They’re opposites and that’s why they’re perfect for each other.
Wrong Bed, Right Girl was an amazing Contemporary Romance and I cannot wait to read the first book in the Accidental Love series, Wrong Bed, Right Roommate.

I read the first book of Jessie and Shawn. I was happpy to receive an arc of this book too. It’s about Shawn’s sister Talia and the DEA Agent Reed.
This book has a similar way (how Talia and Reed meet and what happens on the couch) of story line like the first book. But still both characters are different and there are ups and downs and a little bit of suspense.
I enjoyed this book and thank NetGalley and the publisher for this ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

Reed and Talia's story is one that will have you believing in second chances. When you're left to make the best of a bad situation, and there's an undeniable chemistry, what can you do? The story was well-written and I was sad to get to the end, but I definitely will be reading more of this series!

Overall, this was an enjoyable book. It wasn’t my favorite though due to the couple in the series so far. There is a HEA at the end of the story, so don’t worry. Talia is the reason why I enjoyed the book. She put Reed in his place a couple of times. I will say this that there are some very steamy moments between the characters in the book.
Will, I read the next book in the series? Yes, if Rebecca writes another Accidental Love series, I will read it. I loved meeting some other characters in this book.
Story Rating: 3.5 stars
Steaminess Rating: 4 stars
Standalone or part of series: Part of series, but can be read as a standalone. Different couple for each book.
Do I recommend this book? Yes.
Will I read other books from the author? Yes.

Wrong Bed, Right Girl is a fun, steamy read. The chemistry between Talia and Reed is off the charts, and almost lets you forget that the reason why they're "forced" to share a teeny, tiny apartment is...well, kind of forced. It's hard to argue with the results here, though, which is a forced proximity romance that is at turns sweet and smoking between two characters who it would be next to impossible not to root for. (And I was not Talia's number one fan in the first book, so that's saying something!)
You really don't have to have read the first book ([b:Wrong Bed, Right Roommate|42607057|Wrong Bed, Right Roommate|Rebecca Brooks|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1543522250s/42607057.jpg|66312664]) to enjoy this one--the bits you do need to know (why Talia needs a place to stay) are explained straight off; beyond that Jessie and Shawn play small roles here as BFF and brother, and you're fine not knowing their backstory when it comes to enjoying this one.
That said, Ms. Brooks has been teasing us for two books now with Rose's mysterious fiance/boyfriend/possible (probable!) bad idea--please tell me we're getting her story next?!?!

I loved the first book in this series, and was so excited to read this one. Unfortunately, it wasn’t what I was expecting.
Talia was in the last book – she’s the heroine’s roommate and BFF and the hero’s sister. At the start of this book, she’s just sublet the apartment of a ballerina friend who’s had to leave suddenly due to a family emergency. Only, it turns out it’s not a family emergency but rather that she’s on the run due to a drug lord… and the cop who was working with her decides to check on her late at night in her apartment. After the inevitable meet-disaster, Reed insists that she can’t stay in the apartment, and of course the only option is that she comes stay with him. And this is where everything gets weird and suddenly we’re in the middle of a romantic suspense novel.
While I don’t read a ton of romantic suspense, I do have certain expectations for it, and the whole plot required a lot of suspension of disbelief. I can’t believe Reed, who’s basically married to his job and deadset on making lieutenant, would compromise his ethics so much by getting involved with someone who may be tied to his big investigation. I really can’t believe that Talia would just randomly go home with a cop who basically broke into her apartment (he had a key, but still…) and then proceed to live there for weeks. I really didn’t like this component of the book, and since it’s a rather large part of it, this really affected my enjoyment of it.
I did like the relationship between Talia and Reed, though it felt more like insta-lust to begin with. Reed’s a pretty grumpy hero and Talia’s pretty positive, so there’s a nice bit of opposites-attract going on. Grumpy characters meeting their match are a favorite trope of mine, and there’s a lot of teasing from Talia about how Reed is really a softie at heart. While they seem initially quite different, they’re both focused on their careers (Reed making lieutenant and Talia on landing the starring role in an important production), and also have both been burned by previous relationships, which does cause some seesawing back and forth. Once they gave in to the attraction between them, things get very steamy – Reed puts his handcuffs to good use – but neither can let go of their past relationship issues. I enjoyed their banter, but it did feel like it was very predictable – like, since Talia had been burned before by putting a relationship over her career, the same thing would happen again with Reed.
Overall, while I liked Reed and Talia’s relationship, I found pretty much everything around the whole drug dealer plot ridiculous. I’m not sure which of Talia’s friend group is up next in the series, but I will still probably pick up the next book in the hope it’s more similar to the first.

“You pretend to be this big, old asshole. But I know the truth about you.”
“I’m a big, young asshole?”
The grin got even wider. “You’re nice.”
She pronounced the word with relish. He couldn’t tell if she was making fun of him or being serious. Or both.”
