Hilariously awesome enemies to lovers romance!
So many things to love about THE WRONG GENTLEMAN, but my favorite is the friends-to-loves trope!
Landon Wolf needs to take the hint and find some other girl that will fall for those husky-like eyes and hard body. A strong jaw and wide, wide shoulders isn’t enough to hold Skylar Anderson’s interest. She’s running from love. Can he catch her? <--- I can't wait to find out! The Wrong Gentleman is a brand-new standalone romance from Louise Bay!
A new friends-to-lovers standalone from the amazing Louise Bay! I always love Bay’s books.
The Wrong Gentleman is soooo the right book!
Don’t miss this standalone friends-to-lovers romance from Louise Bay!
Can’t go wrong with a Louise Bay book. The Wrong Gentleman was everything I needed from a book! An absolute delight. Highly recommended.
A British hero and a one-night stand that turns into much more? Sign me up! Love Louise’s books!
As always, Louise Bay never fails to entertain. Landon was the perfect foil for Skylar’s self-imposed guideline for choosing a man, and the action that got them together was a thrilling ride as usual.
Right off the bat, please let me say that Louise Bay is one of my auto buy authors and I love all of her books.
To be honest, The Wrong Gentleman is not one of my favorites. It, to me, flowed slowly and even though the writing was good and I loved Landon, Skyler just didn’t grow on me for some reason.
So, it wasn’t my favorite, but I know everyone reads and loves different things. So, please read The Wrong Gentleman by Louise Bay and form your own opinion.
Back to the dreamy setting of superyachts and sexy Brits, ‘The Wrong Gentleman’ by Louise Bay was a sweet, steamy, and suspenseful romance!
Landon and Skylar both had such strong and independent characters! Wealthy and successful, Landon was all business, and his loyalty to both his job and country was definitely to be admired. Skylar was hard-working, dedicated, and solely focused on her career, the only thing that she would allow herself to rely on. Neither Landon nor Skylar were open to relationships, but they became distractions that neither could ignore.
The story was both well written and a fast paced and engaging read. It also had an added element of suspense, which kept the storyline unique. The dual point of views revealed their struggle with opening up to each other, and I loved how they softened each other’s hard edges and naturally they fell into sync together. There was such a magnetic pull between Landon and Skylar which only enhanced the slow burning sizzle brewing between them!
Louise Bay always does such a wonderful job of creating such emotion and passion between her characters, and ‘The Wrong Gentleman’ felt fun, dreamy, and romantic. Landon and Skylar’s happily ever after was very well deserved and sweet, and made for a very enjoyable romance!
Five stars! Bay never disappoints with these books and this is another engaging, steamy and unputdownable read!
Another riveting story from Louise Bay and another “gentleman” to fall in love with! Landon is former SAS, wealthy and successful, and doing a little covert fact-finding for a friend while posing as a junior crew member on a luxury yacht. He’s not ready for a full-on romantic relationship, but he’s totally satisfied by the impetuous chance encounter the night before he sets sail. The beauty that captivates him is Skylar, the chief steward on said yacht. She is independent and focused, determined to find a wealthy husband…or so she says. It’s a ruse, a line to keep most men at arm’s length.
Their chemistry is off the charts hot, but their secrets and half-truths could destroy whatever is growing between them. Their story has a bit of intrigue and a lot of heat, something that Louise Bay hooks me with in every book. This is another incredible 5 star story!
The Wrong Gentleman is the first book I have read by Louise Bay. This hot international romance hit all my must-haves for a page-turning, slow-burning, sizzling romance book. The book is well written, and the characters are entirely developed and grow throughout the book.
The author takes us from Ohio to the South of France and then to one of my favorite cities in the world London. I enjoyed the storyline and loved the whole idea of the rich yachting microcosm where people seem to get whatever they want, but I would have appreciated a little bit more of this in the book. Some twists come at the end, and I did like that, but I just wanted more of the undercover theme, the danger, and the suspense this plot-line could have delivered.
The book in written in a dual point of view going between the two main characters Skylar and Landon. And although I do like internal dialogue from characters, at times it was a bit overdone. I would have enjoyed more interaction between Landon and Skylar. Landon is retired special forces and has a successful security business, which he just sold, so he is taking some time off to relax when a friend asks him to do some undercover work on a luxury yacht. And, did I mention he is broodingly HOT and British? Which of course makes him all the hotter. Can you imagine how the audio of this book will sound? Landon doesn’t do relationships…ever, so when he meets the hot blond, Skylar, he goes for the one night stand. Skyler has had a difficult life, and definitely has trust issues when it comes to men, but not in the usual way. She is solely focusing on maintaining her independence and moving forward with her career as a head steward in the luxury yacht circuit. At the beginning of the book, I liked the way the author portrayed Skylar to be superficial and a bit of a gold digger, but we soon found out there was so much more to her character. Skylar and Landon are two very lonely people and believe they are happy. They have some darkness in their pasts and have built up walls to keep them from ever getting hurt. It was fun watching those walls crumble.
So what could one little indulgence hurt?? This story is about when a one night stand is just not enough. Landon and Skylar’s story was an enjoyable read, and I do look forward to reading more from Louise Bay.

This steamy page turner has all the book feels and I LOVE IT!!
I love the style of writing Louise is known for and how she leaves you feeling all those warm heart-felt vibes. Like I said – LOVE IT!
When a one-night stand doesn’t stay a one night stand.
He’s tall, handsome, protective and BRITISH.
Friends to Lovers
Undercover Romance
From USA Today bestselling author Louise Bay comes a sexy, new, standalone romance.
Landon Wolf needs to take the hint and find some other girl that will fall for those husky-like eyes and hard body. A strong jaw and wide, wide shoulders isn’t enough to hold Skylar Anderson’s interest.
She’s running from love. Can he catch her?
The Wrong Gentleman is another wonderful five-star read by Louise Bay. This book is a standalone but features recurring appearances by Hayden Wolf and Avery Walker from The Ruthless Gentleman. Hayden and Landon are British brothers and this book features Landon, who is working undercover security in the South of France.
He meets Skylar Anderson prior to reporting to work on a luxury yacht and they have a night filled with passion. She is chief stewardess, a job previously held by Avery, and learns the next day that she and Landon will be working together on the same luxury yacht. They agree to remain professional, but have an undeniable connection that neither can shake.
I immediately liked Landon; he is smart, skilled, savvy, established, protective, and totally smitten with Skylar. As most men are in the military, he is also humble, honest and noble, and of course handsome with a perfect physique. He needs to focus on his assignment, but instead, for the first time in his life, finds himself filled with foreign romantic feelings for his beautiful co-worker.
I love how they form a slow friendship, have mutual respect for one another, and how they get to know each other and let down their guard little by little. Louise writes so engagingly that I truly felt for each character and understood what they were going through. Her descriptions are very vivid and you feel as if you are there with them on their journey.
I loved and admired Skylar so much as she was independent, hardworking, a good friend, loyal, and a bit broken from a tragic past. She is cautious towards men and doesn’t believe in true love, so she focuses on just settling for someone who could meet her ambiguous checklist. I love how Landon recognizes this and is ever so patient and kind towards her. Through his actions, he reiterates over and over how special she is, how he is interested in her and only her, and how he will be there for her. The only thing he can’t be with her is honest, and it is the one thing that she needs the most.
There is a part towards the end of the book where he had to do something inconceivable to protect her, and I just wanted to smack him! Even though her heart was breaking, Skylar once again rose to the occasion with class and dignity and moved forward. At the end of the book, everything is revealed and Landon rights his wrongs with the woman he loves. I really admired her and how she took time to think things through and decided to trust in her feelings to be with the man she loves.
This book was full of passion, angst, a bit of mystery, family, traveling to exotic destinations, and finding your soulmate. As with all of Louise’s books, this is a MUST READ. You will be breathless with anticipation turning page after page to find out what happens next and for Landon and Skylar. The last chapter is my favorite!
This book quickly became a favorite within the first few chapters of this read. Louise always gives us a story that draws us in and rings out emotions page after page. Landon was sexy, broody and secretive but it comes with the job and that job definitely wasn’t supposed to be the gorgeous blonde who caught his eye. Skyler is the gorgeous, passionate hardworking woman that caught the attention of the one man she shouldn’t want but can’t stop thinking about no matter how hard she tries. The chemistry between these two was hot, hot, hot and the relationship that bloomed was captivating and all-consuming. This is a book that NEEDS to be read!
Landon Wolf is the wrong gentleman that you would hope to meet at the right time. Landon meets this beautiful woman, Skylar Anderson who he assumes it’s like every other woman. Little does he know she’s not. Yet another beautiful read by the talented Louise Bay.
The Wrong Gentleman is going to take you on an amazing adventure! From London, to Ohio to the beautiful Mediterranean. Ms. Bay weaves magic in her words and brings you there!
This is the story of Skylar and Landon, two people who are not who they appear to be. One building walls to protect themselves, the other building up a b web of lies for a the protection of lives.
This story made me stop and think. The dialogue between Skylar and Landon was insightful and thoughtful. It’s a thinking gal romance and I loved it!
The chemistry between Landon and Skylar was electric and the swoony demands from Landon turned me into a puddle of goo….”I like to watch you. Undress for me…” Gahhhhhh just perfection!
It was moving to see the process of the two of them falling in love. The lengths that Landon went through to protect Skylar. The excuses that Skylar kept telling herself to make less of what she was feeling.
I will be putting ALL of the other books by Ms. Bay on my TBR list! If you haven’t read her before, don’t be like me, get into this story! If you have read her before, well you know you are in for one hell of a story!
