Kandi Steiner really has a passion for sports! I love sports romance and she's my top author for it. This was delightful and tied most things with a bow at the end.

It's really a 4.5/5. I wanted the main character to have closure with her husbands family , or understand something more about the affair. I know exploring this wouldn't do anything really except give better closure instead of a shitty shoebox with shitty letters.

This was a super fun listen, ive previously read a couple of Kandi’s books and loved them so decided to do a deep dive in to her backlist and this was super fun. 

I loved the initial concept of finding guys on dating apps to bring to football games with her - thought it was really fun 

All the characters were super likeable as well, kinda wish we got to see some of the supporting characters a bit more cos they were really fun

I liked the narrators, the only issue i had with them was with the male narrator, i felt like at times with the female dialogue he was a bit ‘breathey’ which i wasnt a huge fan of

The Wrong Man is a combination of emotional, witty, and sexy. The story is a second chance romance of sorts. Not necessarily Zach and Gemma's second chance together, but their second chance at love. In all honesty, I wasn't sure about Gemma at first. I usually prefer a stronger heroine, but she certainly had her reasons for her insecurities, and she did grow on me as the story progressed. I was surprised at how much I liked Gemma and Zach together. They compliment each other so well and the more I read, the more I found myself rooting for them. Really, Zach is such a sweetie that it's impossible not to fall for him. The story does have more than its fair share of angst, but given the circumstances, it was bound to be. It's also a little drawn out at times, but the interesting characters keep things moving along. On the whole, the story was engaging and held my interest. I was impressed with the combination of wit and drama and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre.

This was unlike anything I’ve read before! I really enjoyed the storyline, it was so cute. Towards the end, it got kind of boring but of course the last couple of chapters made up for it
