Jake Larson is good at everything…except relationships. When his marriage ends, it leaves the firefighter with doubts he’s never experienced before. Now he’s determined to protect his crushed heart the only way he knows how: avoid falling in love at all costs. And thanks to his friend Ezra, Jake is more than content to fill the hole in his life with a newfound faith in Christ and the hope for a … a brighter—if single—future.
Renee Buchanan is one of the best interior designers Colorado has to offer, and she knows it. She’s young, skilled, and confident…except when she’s around Jake Larson. Every time Jake steps into a room, her carefully crafted professionalism crumbles, and she finds herself lost.
And that’s a problem when Jake hires Renee to decorate his fixer-upper of a home. Not only is Jake her brother’s best friend, he’s also the gentleman of her dreams. And no matter how determined she is to make this the well-designed house of her career, and how thick the walls around Jake’s heart are, something new sizzles up between them, something they can’t help but be drawn toward.
As they work together to chip away at the walls of both Jake’s house and his heart, Jake is faced with a life-changing decision: let himself fall for his best friend’s beautiful sister, or stay single but keep his friendship intact. Either way, Jake knows he must let go of his past before he can grab hold of the future…or else risk losing the second chance he desperately needs.
Something Right is a sweet interracial romance between a damaged firefighter and the interior designer determined to make him whole again.

A cute book! I loved watching Jake and Renee’s relationship develop from best friends to something more. They had a sweet relationship. It was fun to see characters from book one in the series, First Site. There were quite a few typos/grammatical errors and some inconsistencies/unnecessary details that detracted from the main story. Other than that I loved this book.
Laughed, cried and pondered while reading this story. Started a little slow, but was so interesting that I couldn’t stop reading. This is a new author for me and I really enjoyed and appreciated her writing skills. Excellent show of real faith in everyday life, which I found so refreshing. Don’t understand the subtitle involving interracial relationship, as that did not appear to be a factor in Jake and Renee’s relationship. More about family, trust, baggage and faith. I loved that all the characters were relatable. Highly recommend!
This was the first book I read by Rose Fresquez, and it is still my favorite. Jake and Renee had such a strong friendship and a realistic bond that they just belonged together. Every moment between them sizzled and the payoff was so worth it! The side characters added humor and depth to the story and made me read every book in the series.
I’d love to give this book more than 5 stars!!
The characters are enjoyable and I love the firefighters banter as they laugh and joke with each other. I also love they way they stand up for each other and support each other especially if one of their own is down! In my opinion, this makes a great team and it shows teamwork! Sadly though and especially at my work place there is no such thing as teamwork.
I always say it’s best to start out as friends. That’s the best kind of relationship and then if it’s meant to be a much more sweeter thang comes out if it.
I love this author’s writing style. She has the ability to make you feel like you are right along with these guys doing their job and laughing with them.
Of course Jake is my favorite person in the whole story. Kind, gentle and caring he’s the type that has your back no matter what situation someone may be in.
He’s pretty special in my book.
I strongly recommend this book!! It was so good and I cried when I finished it. I didn’t want to say Goodbye but hey, we can always reread it again and check in on our favorite people right?
I received a complimentary copy of this book with no compensations received
Oh, my goodness!! This was a great read!!!! It had me from the first page!! I even stayed up late a couple of nights reading, since I didn’t get much reading time in during the day!! I love the way Rose kept the faith aspect throughout the book, and that Renee would sometimes take the lead to pray, especially since she’s been a Christian longer than Jake, and I love that it showed both of them still showing that we all have struggles with faith, no matter how long we’ve walked with God, and that He’ll help us overcome. I did find a couple of words in the book objectionable; however, after e-mailing the author, those should be taken care of, which is why I’m giving five stars. Otherwise, it would have been way less!! They weren’t words I’d expect to find in Christian Fiction, and this book really is a great book!! You need to add this to you TBR stack!!!
I was received an advanced copy of this book. I was not required to review, and all of this is my opinion.
This started out a little slow for me, but it got better.
I’ve found in Rose Fresquez’s books that she ties up the loose ends. You get the full story as you get to know the characters.
She shows the good and the not so good of the characters and how when they seek the Lord, He helps them out.
Good book!
