Synopsis:
Jenna Lacombe needs complete control, whether it’s in the streets . . . or between the sheets. So when she sets out on a solo road trip to visit her family in New Orleans, she’s beyond annoyed that the infuriatingly sexy Jack Oliver wants to hitch a ride with her. Ever since they shared a wild night together last year, he’s been trying to strip away her defenses one by one. He claims he’s just coming along to keep her safe-but what’s not safe for her is prolonged exposure to the tattooed hottie.
Jack can’t get Jenna out from under his skin. She makes him feel alive again after his old life nearly destroyed him-and losing her is not an option. Now Jack’s troubles are catching up to him, and he’s forced to return to his hometown in Louisiana. But when his secrets put them both in harm’s way, Jenna will have to figure out how far she’s willing to let love in . . . and how much she already has.

Excerpt:
The way I felt about Jenna used to piss me off. I’ve never been one to need or even want a girl messing up my life. Just the opposite, in fact. The Lone Wolf role suited me well and I was perfectly content with my world of solitude. But Jenna came along and twisted everything up. She turned me inside out and made me feel complete in a way that made no sense. I fought the sentiment, of course. There’s no room for anyone in my messed up life—especially not a wild, stubborn, reckless girl like Jenna.
But fighting proved futile, and somewhat self-destructive, so I did what all good leaders do when they realize losing a battle could mean winning the war: I surrendered. Not to Jenna, exactly, but to the way she made me feel. It’s not a pretty or romantic thing. It’s a truth with scars and holes—and it commands me completely.
Does that make me weak? I used to think so. But then I see Jenna, still in the throes of a battle I’ve long since succumbed to, and I wonder which of us is stronger. Which of us sleeps well at night and which of us tosses in the moonlight.
Strength isn’t about what you can and cannot achieve. It’s about what you will and will not do in order to achieve. And on that, I know exactly where I stand.
Watching Jenna across the inn’s lobby, I take a deep breath and prepare for round two of what is sure to be a memorable—if not fatal—road trip back home.
“I’m ready when you are, diva!” I call out.
Complete agitation covers her face as she whips around with narrowed eyes and yells, “Don’t. Call. Me. DIVA!”
I grin. “It never gets old.”
“God!” she exclaims, thrusting her arms up again.
The look on her face is priceless. I could do this all day. I might, actually.
Wagging my eyebrows in an inappropriate manner, I slip back outside and let the door fall shut.
A moment later, the inn door flies open and Jenna stomps down the porch steps to meet me by the car. I quickly shove my phone in my pocket, wanting to put as much distance as possible between my present circumstances and the mess waiting for me back home, and climb into the car at the same time she does.
She’s huffing and puffing and cursing under her breath like a spoiled teenager, but when her eyes finally flick to mine there’s no hostility there, just impatience.
“You’re paying for all the gas,” she says, sliding a pair of dark sunglasses over her golden eyes. “And I mean every single drop.”
I lean back in the passenger seat, repressing the joyous satisfaction I feel at the haughtiness on her face. “Yes, ma’am.”
If buying Jenna’s gas keeps her safe by my side then I’ll purchase every last drop in the country. And then some.

Review:
Please! Please tell me that this series is not over?!?!?!?! I want more!!!!!!! From the moment I read Best Kind of Broken, I knew that this was going to be a series that was going to make me feel all kinds of different emotions. I love Pixie, Levi, Kayla, Daren, Jenna and Jack to pieces!!! I have cried and laughed with them. I was cheering for my girls to find ''the one'' who would make their hearts beat fast. I was hi-fiving the guys for the way they swept the girls off their feet. I loved every single minute of my reading escape!
Right Kind of Wrong is the third installment in the Finding Fate Series. It's from Jenna and Jack's POV, and let me tell you that these two are freakin' fire together! Holy hot chemistry! *Fans Self* We met Jenna in the first Installment, which is Best Kind of Broken. She's Pixie's best friend and she's a real I-don't-take-crap-from-anybody kind of heroine! Her heart beats faster when Jack is around her and she can't forget the extremely sexy night that they shared together. He gets deep under her skin and she does everything in her power to push him away because falling in love is not part of her ''Plan''. But, Jack is persistent and he will do everything in his power to make her see that giving their love a chance has a place in her ''Plan''.
I read this book in one sitting because I could not put it down!!! This story had some twists that I was not expecting. When Jack and Jenna go back home we get a few surprises. I was like ... What?!?!?! Holy moly! This is all kinds of trouble! I don't like to give out spoilers so I won't explain what happens back home, but I will say this ... it was my favorite part of the story because that's when Jack takes over the story and swept me off MY feet! *Swoon* The way he takes care of his family and Jenna. Awwww!!! My heart was super happy!!! At one point of the story I was literally screaming at Jenna to wake-up and smell the coffee because she was going to let an unbelievable man walk out of her life. Oh my crap! That girl was stubborn!!!! Thank God, Jack knew exactly what to say and do to win her heart :) He was so patient with her! <3
Chelsea Fine exceeded all of my expectations! I can't get enough of this series! The writing style is amazing and the characters are extremely lovable and funny. I LOL a couple of times when Jack's mom was around. OMG!! She was so funny!!! And, don't even get me started with Jenna's grandmother .... Teehee!
This book can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the two previous books because Pixie, Levi, Kayla and Daren are all kinds of awesome! I loved all the little scenes that these couples had in Right Kind of Wrong. I love to check-in with them! I really hope that this is not the end of the Finding Fate Series. I really want Ellen to get her own book :) She's such an amazing character! I really want her to get her HEA.
