REVIEW:
WOW! What an intense ride this was! One Wrong Turn, was my first book from this author and she did not disappoint. Crime, danger, romance: the perfect ingredients for a stellar book.
We meet Lucy—witness to a vicious crime after making a wrong turn. Scared and afraid, she decides relocating would be her best option; though with not many in her prospects. She runs to a happy place that holds more nostalgia than a sappy Hallmark movie. While on the run she meets Carter Downs; police officer in Lucy’s new town.
Carter offers to show her around his stopping grounds. They spend time together and soon things heat up. As the temperature rises between them, trouble invades their happy bubble. Will Lucy tell Carter why she’s on the run? Will the end up together with trouble so close to home?
One Wrong Turn is an easy, fun, enjoyable read with twists and turns. You won’t regret reading this!
This could be called One Right Turn. I Loved Lucy and Carter. I loved the way they met, and the cute antics throughout the story. The food at the diners was hilarious! It was a really fun addition to the story that just made me love the characters more. The suspense in the book hit me. I knew something would be coming, but it still made me tear up. Such a great story! I was sad it was over.
One Wrong Turn is one of the best romances I’ve ever read! Sweet with just enough suspense /angst to keep the story moving! Carter and Lucy’s story was amazing! I was not able to put this one down! LOVED!
I’m a huge fan of this author and I enjoy reading anything she writes. This new series is a standalone so although the books don’t interconnect the theme is still there. There was danger, intrigue and love all mixed in this book and it kept me hooked from the first page to the last. Good book and series.
Love this book! The Road Trip Series is a great series is you are looking for a quick happily ever read! A.K. Evan’s never disappoints with her books!
One Wrong Turn by A.K. Evans is book Three in the Road Trip Romance Series. This is the story of Carter Downs and Lucy Stark. I haven’t yet read the previous books, so for me this was a standalone book. Lucy is on the run after being a witness to a murder this leads her to New Jersey shore and right into Carter Downs police car. This was a fun read that did have it drama of course with the killer hot on her trail. I hope to go back and read the other books since I enjoyed this one so much.
Wow, what a quick and short story. I couldn’t put it down once started.
Who knew taking one wrong turn could bring such a great romance.
I loved Lucy and Carter together, they are funny, sweet and love a good laugh together. They fit very well together.
I highly recommend this book.
One Wrong Turn, A.K. Evans’ newest Road Trip Romance is too cute for words!
After making a wrong turn, Lucy Stark saw the worst thing possible and left her life behind in order to stay safe, fleeing to her favorite place as a child, the Jersey Shore. Making yet another wrong turn, she drives right into a car . . .that just happens to be a police cruiser!
Police Officer Carter Downs lives to serve and protect. He never thought he’d fall for the gorgeous woman who ran into his car and then blamed the “no left turn” law, but he can’t deny that their connection is instantaneous!
Wanting to get to know her more, Carter offers to show Lucy around town and their romance begins. Falling hard and quick, both Carter and Lucy are all in, but it seems that Lucy didn’t leave her troubles behind like she thought she did. And, when it catches up to her on the Jersey Shore’s boardwalk, Carter will need to protect and save the woman he loves before her latest wrong turn in also her last.
Carter and Lucy together are just too darn sweet! I loved everything about them. Carter is such a genuine and all around good guy. And Lucy is vivacious and bubbly and quirky enough to be adorable. They seem to be exactly what the other needs. Lucy makes Carter laugh and relax and leave work behind in his off times. And, Carter is the family that Lucy has been missing since her parents died.
One Wrong Turn was just a sweet romance. But, it had enough drama and suspense to keep those pages turning quickly. Honestly I simply adored this couple. I loved they were just average people that randomly met and fell madly in love. 5 stars.
One Wrong Turn is the 3rd book in the Road Trip Romance Series. It can be read as a complete standalone.
This is Lucy Stark and Carter Down’s story. Lucy is a witness to a murder. Now she is on the run. She packed up and ran to the New Jersey Shore where she literally ran her car into Officer Carter Downs police car. Also, did Lucy run far enough?
Do you believe in fate? I bet Carter does! It was a fate-filled day the day that Lucy’s car ran into Carter’s.
If you love romances then you need to read One Wrong Turn! A true romance! 4.5 stars
Oh, how I’m loving this series. Lucy and Carter take us to the Jersey shore, the glories of non-self-pumped gas (something my family still misses since leaving NJ), and the hilarity of the Jersey Left. Granted, Lucy’s not thrilled with any of these things, and her irritation with jughandles sends her directly into another car…a police car, at that. Luckily for her, Carter is enthralled from the second she opens her mouth, and their relationship blossoms from there. Amid diner goals and forgotten dangers, they find love and fun together. The only problem? Lucy may have slightly forgotten danger, but danger hasn’t forgotten her, and it’s coming her way.
This story had a fun, easy feel to it that made for an enjoyable read during the holiday rush and stress. And Carter? Well, he just so happens to be the man Lucy didn’t even know she was looking for. Even better, Carter knows that he’s not letting Lucy go, no matter what comes their way.
