 Thank you, Michael Joseph Penguin Publishing, for sending this book in a welcome pack in exchange for an honest review.  

Bad luck has always seemed to follow Oliva. But when she receives a steamy text from a random number turns into the most entertaining thing in her life and it seems like things are finally looking up. Colin has always considered Olivia his flatmate’s annoying little sister. That all changes when she moves in with them, and he realizes she’s turned into an altogether sexier distraction. He is determined to keep his distance but that isn’t easy. Especially when he discovers she’s the girl he’s been secretly messaging. Now, Mr Wrong Number must make a decision. Should he shut down the messages, before things get messy? Or turn up the heat?  

Okay, I relate to Olivia a bit too much. Like I'm a mess, I'm a disaster and I just never had any luck. I just want my own Colin! I love the trope and sort of the forbidden love. The book was such an easy read and I loved it so much. I loved the dual POVs and the texting conversation. It was fast-paced and the plot was simple to follow. I just wanted more and more. I loved the dynamics and the internal thoughts they were both having. Olivia’s brother reacted how older brothers would have reacted and I loved it. This book was just so fun and hilarious. I don’t have anything bad to say about this book, I just wanted more and hope that one day there will be squeal or just a novella or something.  

Lynn Painter is definitely getting added to my instant add authors as I’ve got a good feeling I am going to love her other books.
