She wanted to be more daring, but one small risk is about to cost her everything­—maybe even her life.

Bold
and adventurous in her work as owner of one of Manhattan’s boutique
interior design firms, Kit Finn couldn’t be tamer in her personal life.
While on vacation in the Florida Keys, Kit resolves to do something
risky for once. When she literally bumps into a charming stranger at her
hotel, she decides to make good on her promise and act on her
attraction.

But back in New York, when Kit arrives at his luxury
apartment ready to pick up where they left off in the Keys, she doesn’t
recognize the man standing on the other side of the door.

Was
this a cruel joke or part of something truly sinister? Kit soon realizes
that she’s been thrown into a treacherous plot, which is both deeper
and deadlier than she could have ever imagined. Now the only way to
protect herself, her business, and the people she loves is to find out
the true identity of the man who has turned her life upside down.

Adrenaline-charged and filled with harrowing twists at every turn, The Wrong Man will keep readers riveted until the final page.

My thoughts: I love reading Kate White’s books…I first fell in love with her books when I started reading her Beily Weggins series and then I went on to read her stand-alone fiction.

Right from the start, I was intrigued by this book. Once I started reading it and was involved in the story, I had a really hard time putting it down and when I did have to put it down, I couldn’t stop thinking about it…I just had to know what was going to happen next. This was definitely a book where there are just enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. It was hard to know who to trust and who not to in this book and so I sort of became suspicious of everyone at one point.

I really liked Kit…all she was looking to do was not be herself for once and to just take a risk, and boy oh boy, did that small risk have long-lasting consequences. That one decision while on vacation wreaked havoc on her life back home, and she and her business suffered the consequences. Luckily, she has a very understanding business partner – a business partner that, though a few decades older than her, she is able to confide in and talk through this whole mess with. As Kit begins to realize, nothing is as it seems and the more she tries to find out, the crazier and more complicated things become.

This was another winner for me by Kate White…another page turner that had me saying, just a few more pages until I found myself at the very end. The pacing will have you racing through the chapters, trying to figure out just what is going on and the suspense/mystery will keep you guessing right up until the end. While I do love these stand-alone books that Kate writes, I really do hope a new Bailey Weggins book is in the works – it’s been ages since we’ve had a new book in that series…
