“Your grief belongs to you. You choose who you share it with... It can’t be shared, only survived.”

Sutton Wright's story is one I was anxious to read. I've read all the other Wright siblings books, and Sutton was a character I never thought would get her own story. And then tragedy struck, her husband died, and she was left as a single mom/widow. Love is the last thing Sutton is looking for, but a year after her husband's death, it found her.

Sutton is a single mom and a widow. She's working on moving on, but it's taking all she has just to keep her life together. Thankfully, she has a great support system with her family and a few close friends. One of those friends is David Calloway. David and Sutton have clicked, but nothing has ever went beyond friendship with them. Sutton just wasn't ready. When she finds herself thinking maybe it's time to slowly move on, to find love again, David is the only one she can think of. Maybe it's time for a second chance at love for Sutton Wright.
This wasn’t just a simple kiss. It was a totally new adventure. The start of something inconceivable and utterly unique. This was a new first kiss. A new first.

David and Sutton had some amazing chemistry. They just fit together. I admired Sutton's strength. I can't imagine going through all she went through and I feel like she handled herself. David is a patient man and I loved that he was always understanding with Sutton and taking it slow. I also loved how he was with Jason. Sigh.

Now the ending of this one... lets just say my jaw was on the floor when I finished. KA Linde writes angst AND cliffhangers like no other author. I loved that I did not see this coming at all. And I'm thanking my lucky stars that the second part of this duet comes out in a few weeks so I don't have to wait long to see what happens. If you're looking for a story that's full of healing, growth, and love, pick this book up. If you like twists, angst, and friends to lovers, pick this book up. If you are a fan of romance- pick this book up! Linde is one of those authors who always brings her 'A' game, and The Wright Love is a fantastic read!

The Wright Love had all the feels!From the first pages the story was intense and emotional and while I continue reading I feel more connected and I was feeling Sutton’s pain.The story line is great and it was fast paced.

Sutton and David have an amazing connection.They were so perfect together, David is exactly what Sutton needed!I like that they take everything slow.It's so understandable after what Sutton went through!

I can't wait for the next book, if you are looking for a quick read full of emotions this is perfect for you!The Wright Love is about loss, healing and finding love.

A fantastic and super quick read! This is a real page turner! I’ve been shipping David and Sutton since the last book, so I’m overjoyed to finally see them together!

The characters are great. The tease of future storylines is intriguing. The secondary characters are entertaining. But that ending was the BOMB! It was completely unexpected and I’m dying for the next book. This author certainly knows how to keep me coming back for more.

What I loved: Seeing Sutton decide to start living in the present after suffering the loss of her husband. I've really enjoyed the foreshadowing of her and David's relationship. To see her finally give in to the temptation was fantastic.

The secondary characters are fantastic as always. I love the family dynamic between the Wright siblings. The surprise ending was the best!

I had a couple ticky issues with the back and forth between David and Sutton. I get it, but I still wanted to see more resolve once she decided to pursue a relationship with him.

Charming, tender, and sweetly romantic!

In this latest novel by Linde, The Wright Love, she gives us a deeper, more emotional story featuring the youngest Wright Sibling, Sutton, a young widow and single mother struggling to come to grips with her all-encompassing grief, and the intelligent, successful, David, who's prepared to wait as long as it takes for the woman of his dreams.

The writing is heartfelt and effortless. The supporting characters are kind, generous, and fun-loving. And the plot is a soul-searching journey filled with familial relationships, support, compassion, honesty, desire, longing, rapport, patience, loss, life, and love, as well as a twist you won't see coming and an ending that will undoubtedly leave you eager for more.

The Wright Love is without a doubt a captivating, heartwarming, beautiful start to Sutton and David's love story that has left me patiently, or not so patiently waiting for the release of The Wright One, publishing May 29, 2018, to discover whether the secrets and lies of the past will destroy them forever or whether their love will conquer all odds and give them the happy-ever-after ending they deserve.

Thank you to InkSlingerPR and K.A. Linde for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

"...just because I can manage a fake smile doesn't mean that I'm okay."


I've read almost all of Kyla's books and she never fails to surprise me. She has a talent for writing some amazing books. And this book was no different. I wanted to try something different because I had a hard time getting into books lately and I'm glad I gave this a go because I read it in practically one sitting.

I've wanted to read Sutton's story for the longest time, ever since I read the book where her husband passed away. I just needed her to get her happily ever after. I really admired her strength and courage. To go out and take one step at a time, to having a life again, being as happy as she can be.

But being with David was effortless. I didn't have to think or agonize or freak out over anything. He just was, and we just were. That was enough.


And I loved David's character. That he was patient, caring, and let Sutton take the lead. The way the two worked together, really just fit. Their chemistry was amazing. And I loved Sutton's son. He was the cutest!

And that ending shook me guys. I had no idea that, that was going to happen. I'm glad the next book isn't too far away from releasing.

Love KA Linde but I read this only a few weeks ago, and when I went to organize my books just now, I couldn't remember what it was about and if I had actually read it or not. Looking back, it was okay but forgettable. Mindless reading. Still fun.

The Wright Love is my first experience with K.A. Linde's writing and it definitely won't be my last. Sutton and David's story is not just a romance story. It's a story about moving forward with life after the devastating and difficult times the universe can throw at you. There are some heavier moments in this book, but there are also a lot of fun moments to balance them out.

Aaron Shedlock and Lynn Barrington did a fantastic job with the audiobook narration for this story. They really brought the characters and their emotions to life.

“You are the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on.”

When it comes to sexy contemporary romance, K.A. Linde has got you covered! In her latest release, Ms. Linde has once again, STOLE MY HEART with her impeccable storytelling and amazing characters! I feel like I’ve been waiting for David and Sutton’s story for forever, but a single day can feel like forever when you ADORE these characters as much as I do.

I was nervous, excited, and pumped to start THE WRIGHT LOVE, which is book one is the Wright Love Duet! I have to say, I’m SO GLAD that the author broke their story down to two books because I feel like Sutton’s happily ever after is going to be a very hard-fought one, for sure. She’s coming back from something so tragic and David has to give his ALL to break down her walls and to help her love again.

It’s heartbreaking. It’s beautiful. It’s only the beginning. And I can’t wait to see how it all turns out. I want nothing but the best for Sutton Wright. She’s been through so much and I feel like a lot of readers will adore her and will relate to her on so many levels. I’m rooting for David. I have since the very beginning. I have butterflies in my stomach just thinking about these two beautiful characters. I have no doubt that Ms. Linde will give them a happily ever after to remember!

Out of all the books in the Wright series, David and Sutton’s story was the one that drove me the craziest with anticipation. Especially with the little peeks we’ve seen and what we already know about them from the previous books, and knowing what Sutton went through, I wanted this. Badly. I wanted Sutton to get that once in a lifetime kind of love and happiness back, and reclaim the spark and spirit she’d lost the day her husband died.

“Your grief belongs to you. You choose who you share it with.”


I was only a chapter in and I already had tears in my eyes. The feels in this book just jumped off the pages—they enveloped and swallowed me whole. I felt for Sutton every step of the way—her fears, her doubts, even those debates she had going on in her head about whether she’s doing the right thing or not. Being a single mom and widow, I couldn’t even fathom the depth of heartache and every ounce of strength Sutton needed to muster up to get through this. It was such a struggle and all I wanted to do was just engulf her and her two-year old son, Jason, with bear hugs until that last page.

That first day I’d seen her, I had known she was the one. Even before I knew a single thing about her. She’d looked at me, and I’d been lost.


The Wright Love is indeed an all-consuming, sexy and emotional page-turner that gives us a front row seat to Sutton Wright’s pain, grief, and healing. It walks us through the ways she was able to remember, move forward and open her heart up again. And David—sweet, romantic David Calloway—he was an absolute dreamboat. I adored the way he was with Sutton and Jason, even from the very beginning. He melted my heart and sent tingles down to my toes. He was just so patient and loving and giving. Regardless of the secrets he was keeping close to his chest, I freaking loved him.

She looped her pinkie over mine, and a shuddering exhale left her body. Something exploded in my chest at that one touch. That one move changed the entire dynamic of us forever.


No matter what happened at the end of this book, I’ll forever be vouching and holding my pompoms up for David and Sutton. Because what they have? It’s raw and real and stronger than any of us realize. I just can’t wait to see how they’re all able to bounce back from the mess and chaos we were left with. And I know damn well, they will.

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Inkslinger PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.I've been waiting for Sutton's story. She has already been through so much that I wasn't sure she was going to be able to get past Mav's death to learn how to live again.  But I should have known KA Linde would give this heroine a few more twists to deal with.

For anyone that has followed this series, David and Sutton seemed inevitable.  But there was always that lurking question of where David come from (aside from San Francisco).  He showed up and quietly worked his way into Sutton's life being her friend and sometimes babysitter.  But that quiet question was there, whether we paid attention or not.

Then there was Sutton.  Her grief was tangible, even as she tried to hide it from her son.  It was so tangible that you wondered if she was ever really going to get past what happened.  Sutton had an inner strength though, one she ignored for a long time.  But it was that strength and determination that had her fighting her family to marry Mav that finally came back out and pushed her to start moving past the tragedy and to start living again.

I enjoyed the start of this duet.  I wanted to see Sutton get her HEA, but I'll admit by the time I got to the last page I wondered how this whole thing was going to play out.  I'm sure David's backstory is going to bring him back into the Wright fold, but the wait is going to kill me.

I loved this first part of the story. I do think it could’ve easily been just one book. David is really amazing. Sutton is of course grieving. To be honest, the dead spouse is not my favorite trope and I do feel like David is second best to Maverick. The audiobook narration is great.
May 15, 2018
This story was one I was anticipating like NO. OTHER. And honestly, I got everything I wanted!

The rating could've been a bit higher, but I feel like this is where I stand. Maybe I wanted a bit more of their relationship, but then again, I loved the way in which they were written. I loved the way Sutton's grief was written, I love the way we get her worry and love for Jason, and I love that no outrageous or cliche problems and threats were introduced to try to get a plot going.

Everything in this story was so pure and flowed so well! The cliffhanger wasn't what I expected and I LOVED it! I cannot wait for the next book, I'm on my toes waiting to see what happens!!

AHHH ... SWEET SIGH. K.A. Linde has done it again and penned a love story with the perfect blend of sugary sweet, smoldering sexy, and want-to-punch your e-reader angst. THE WRIGHT LOVE is one FEEL-WORTHY and FRUSTRATING ADDICTION that bleeds both beauty and angst. Like a flower, this beautiful book blossoms and blooms with love, showing the strong bond of family and friends.



K.A. Linde perfectly captures the family dynamic of the Wrights—fun, loving, protective, and close to the core. After only a third into The Wright Love, I KNEW it was my favorite of this series just like I knew Sutton’s story would break me, and that it did. I felt Sutton’s pain through the pages. I felt The Wright Love the most. Sutton has met her perfect match, as David is the man to pick up and put together Sutton’s broken pieces. This beautiful hero and heroine melted together—friends on fire—and I felt their burn.

He touched my shoulder and a weird flutter sparked in my stomach. Like the best of an unused drum as it cleared the dust away.


This hero is so MELT-WORTHY! I SWOONED from this story’s sweet words that shot Cupid arrows straight to my heart. How can you not fall head over heels in love with The Wright Love’s poignant and poetic writing that sends you straight to Swoon Land?!?

”You’re the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on.”


This book is a different Wright; it’s beautiful like a delicate flower but broken like a butterfly that’s lost its wings. There is so much beauty in the words, words that blossom with poetry and passion. The Wright Love with its broken beauty is the most stunning story K.A. Linde has ever written.

I watched my butterfly’s wings get clipped.


The Wright Love is a PASSIONATE and POTENT ADDICTION that hits the heart. Hook. Line. Sinker. The Wright Love embedded itself into my heart—SO ACHINGLY LOVELY. With its heartbreaking beauty and brilliantly-tied twist at the end, The Wright Love left me cursing and clamoring for more. Just YES!!!

She was starlight on a cloudless night, and I directed her sails to my beacon.

NO SPOILERS!

The Wright Love was a sexy, sweet, addicting, and entertaining start to the Wright Love Duet, and I absolutely loved it! The storyline and characters were phenomenal, and I loved K.A. Linde's writing style. I have dearly loved and adored each and every book in the Wright series so far, and The Wright Love was no exception. I honestly loved the first part of David and Sutton's story, and I can't wait to read the conclusion in The Wright One!

David and Sutton were amazing, and I loved them and the first part of their story so much. They were incredibly likable, lovable, and relatable characters, and I felt an instant connection with them. I loved their personalities and chemistry together, and how the first part of their story progressed. I loved reading the book from both David and Sutton's POV, and all of their banter and interactions with each other. The majority of the secondary characters were amazing as well, and I loved getting to see so many familiar faces from previous books in the series. The Wright's have definitely been one of my top favorite fictional families, and I'm going to be so sad when this series is over. The Wright Love was amazing from beginning to end, and even though I knew it was going to end on a cliffhanger, I was absolutely not expecting that ending. To say I'm dying to read the conclusion to David and Sutton's story in The Wright One would be a huge understatement.

The Wright Love was a sexy and entertaining introduction to the Wright Love Duet, and I would highly recommend it! K.A. Linde did a fabulous job with the first part of David and Sutton's story, and she definitely left me craving for more. David and Sutton were phenomenal, and I'm so excited to read the conclusion to their story in The Wright One!

My thoughts while reading The Wright Love:

Spotting the ARC on my Kinde: OMG, I can’t wait to read Sutton and David’s story.

At about 4 pages into the ARC: OMG, where are my goddamn tissues. Holy hell, Sutton, you’re breaking my heart right now.

After recovering from lack of tissues and red rimmed eyes: OMG. David, you are perfect for Sutton, you have the patience of a saint.

No, Sutton. Noooo. Don’t do it. Damn it. Sigh.

Getting to the good stuff *eyebrow waggle* . . .

What happens in Vegas probably won’t stay in Vegas. *wink*

*Looking at the percentage read*: Ugh . . . what’s gonna happen to throw a wrench in here??

Complete and total stomach drop: Holy crap, didn’t see that coming. OMG, I have to wait two more weeks to know what happens?

I absolutely adore this Wright family. Love their fierce protection. Love how they love and adore and rally around each other. Love how much all the siblings protect and support Sutton as she’s grieved Maverick’s sudden death. And I love how they want her to find love again. And how well David fits right in with their family. And I cannot wait to see what happens next in The Wright One because everyone deserves their own happily ever after. ~ Missy, 5 stars

Sutton and David.

Finally.

And, yet, at the same time, we had to wait for their story. By this point in the series, or if you have read the synopsis, you know this book takes place a year after the death of Sutton's husband, Maverick.

So, there's a backstory and a history there. And it's present as part of the story. It's not ignored, it's not treated as something that didn't happen... and that makes it more appealing, more real, more heartbreaking and more emotional. In a good way, but also in a way that makes this one a very emotional read.

And, that cliffhanger. I saw it coming, sort of. But I loved it...I loved that the tension is external and also involving the family as, really, at the core of the story is the Wright family.

I enjoyed this title and I look forward to the conclusion.

Who doesn’t love the Wright siblings? I devoured the other books about the Wrights months ago. So when I saw there was a duet coming out about Sutton, the youngest Wright sibling, I knew it was a must read. And my assumption was correct! We never truly know what Sutton is struggling with in the other books after her husband’s death since it was never from her viewpoint. But now we get to see that plus see it from David’s point of view. In some books the big shocker storyline isn’t a big shock at all. But for me, this plot twist was HUGE shock that I didn’t see coming at all. I can’t wait for the second book in the duet to see how it all plays out and if Sutton gets her HEA!

I have been reading this series since the first book. You do not need to read any prior books to read this duet (book two comes out shortly after this one). However, I do highly recommend reading them in order so you have a better feel on all the Wright siblings.

I have been a tough critic of this series because I was expecting more from certain books than what I got. However, I never once stopped continuing on with this series because I know Linde's stories and her writing are worth giving the next book a try. And sticking with this series was very damn well worth it.

The Wright Love is the start of Sutton and David's story. Sutton has been through the ringer for the last year of her life. She is the baby of the family and nothing like her siblings. I knew this duet was going to be more emotional than the others and truly wasn't expecting much in the way of drama. But Linde surprises me and throws in some unexpected suspense and delivers a fantastic twist at the end of this book.

David has got to be the one of the sweetest men I have read so far this year. He puts Sutton's needs above his own and moves at her pace. He doesn't push for anything and even backs off when she gets spooked. But he never once loses his sight of what he wants - Sutton. Maybe it's my hormones, but I love a man that respects any woman enough to adhere to her requests but keeps himself aware of her at all times.

Linde, I think this book (duet) may be your best in this series! I can't wait to see how Sutton and David's story ends!

Having read and loved the previous books in the Wright Series, I couldn’t have been happier when I found out that the author was going to write Sutton’s story next. The Wright Love is truly a story about second chances at love and new beginnings that will leave you wanting for more.

If you haven’t read the previous books in the series then you wouldn’t know how tight the Wright family is and all of the siblings pretty much make appearances in each book. Sutton is the youngest and also the rebel of the family. At twenty-four-years old, Sutton is already a single mother and a widow. After tragically losing her husband, she had to learn how to be on her own even though she had her family around her it just wasn’t the same. Now a year later, Sutton is starting to think about the possibility of finding love again. It scares her, but she has made peace with her decision and knows that Maverick wouldn’t want her to be alone forever. This is when the story truly takes off and we get see the emotional struggles that she goes through and how she deals with new opportunities coming her way. This also brings her closer to her friend David Calloway and she starts to see him in a new light. He has always been there for her, but when they’re together she begins to see a future with him. But when things take a different turn, she’ll have to decide if letting David into her life is worth it or not.

As CFO of Wright Construction, David Calloway has a great future ahead of him. After moving to Texas from San Francisco, David is ready to start a new chapter in his life but he never expected to grow closer to the Wright family. They have been welcoming and he has become even closer to Sutton Wright. He loves spending time with Sutton’s son, Jason and after getting to know her he wants to to take their friendship to the next level. It is after a series of events that everything changes between them and he has convince her that they can be together before it’s too late.

I absolutely loved reading this story, both of the characters compliment each other really well and their relationship works. David has been patient and kind towards Sutton and her son that makes him that much more likable. On the other hand, Sutton has been through a lot and I admire her courage for wanting to find love again. The whole Wright family has been supportive and they have Sutton’s back no matter what she decides to do. Although some people think that moving on might be too soon, Sutton wants what’s best for her son and is willing to do anything to make sure he has a stable life. All in all the story is full of ups and downs as well as full on steamy scenes that will leave you rooting for the characters. Even though we get a cliffhanger at the end, I cannot wait to read what happens next in Sutton’s story. I highly recommend reading this book and the rest of the Wright Series. :)

Oh man I was so excited to dive into this book, even though I knew by the end I'd be dying because I have to wait until the second book to come out to find out what happens. K. A. Linde was so so wright, I did binge this baby but who can blame me?! I was just way too excited and curious and the book felt a little short, not gonna lie, so you really can't blame me at all.

The Wright Love was told at a fast pace, things happened much faster than I had been expecting but they still felt very wright. And I mean David and Sutton already knew each other for a year and had a good friendship, so it wasn't that fast I guess. I had just been expecting a little more angst because she is a widow but expectations aren't always met right?! And I'm not disappointed in the least, the book did have angst and I really enjoyed it and the fact that Sutton didn't let her mourning rule over her moving on (much). I actually loved the pace and the balance in this story, it really felt like the wright one for them.

Sutton struggles to move on and to find her place in life but she finds the strength to open her heart to new things and possibly a new love.
David has felt a strong connection to Sutton since the first day they met, the worst day of her life. He always hoped that one day she'd maybe move on and see him like he has always seen her.

I met David in Morgan's book - The Wright Secret - and I have loved him ever since! He is such a great friend, and guy in general and boy he did not disappoint one bit, not even when his secret came out in the end and left me having a jaw dropping moment because I hadn't been expecting that at all. AT ALL. There were hints that he was hiding something from her but they were very subtle and it just never crossed my mind that it would be THAT. I'm dying to find out what happens in The Wright One, not just regarding Sutton but all the Wrights, everyone loves David and I just can't wait to see their reactions!

David & Sutton were the freaking cutest. You won't be able to not fall in love with them, mainly David because he has an heart of gold, he does. I just loved him and how thoughtful and understanding he was, so much . I also loved watching Sutton get a bit of her old life back after losing Maverick. She deserved to have a little fun and a lot of love after the year she had been through.

The Wright Love is an alluring tale of loss, of learning to live with the pain and coming to terms with moving on and finding love again after losing the most important person in one's life. It will leave you desperate for more of these two, and to find out how it will all come full circle in the conclusion of this duet.

I Voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book

Why!!! Why!!!!

I can't believe this book just ended like that. I really enjoyed this one. I haven't read the previous books in this series, but I don't feel like I needed to catch up! (But want to read the previous books, lol)
This book is about Sutton, the youngest of the Wright clan, and there are a lot of them. Sutton's husband passed away about a year ago. They were newly married and have a son. So there married life wasn't very long and Sutton is totally devasted. The one person she loved is gone and she is barely hanging on. Taking things one day at a time. Now a year later she feels its finally time to let go and try to be happy again.

David has been attracted to Sutton since the day he met her. But she was married and thus off limits. But he always harbored an attraction for her, but he was happy with being friends. And then her husband died, and he decided to be there for her no matter what, as he thought that he would never have anything romantic with her. But it seems that Sutton is finally ready to live again and maybe this is his chance to show her how he feels.
But just when it seems that Sutton is finally opening up and things are finally going their way, secrets are revealed and it seems that David is about to loose everything he has ever wanted.

I really enjoyed this book. It was sweet, sad, romantic, steamy and so much more. This book is basically a journey about a women who lost the love of her life, and now she is left behind picking up the pieces of her life. And deciding if she should let someone else into her life and how it will affect her son and her life. Man oh man and that ending... I need the next book, like ASAP!!!

I’ve been reading this family saga since the very first book. With each one comes a new member of the Wright family. This time we have the youngest Wright and her story is one of tragedy and heartache, and I couldn’t wait to devour these pages.

I could tell Wright from the start I was going to bleed out from this book. I felt in the first chapter like someone ripped out my heart and stampeded on it. K.A. Linde brought the rawest of emotions to Sutton’s character as she lie talking to her husbands grave on the anniversary of his death. If you have been following along you know about Sutton’s past, if you haven’t you won’t be lost but I really hope you go back and start with the first book to see Sutton’s journey through her siblings eyes. I won’t give too many details, but she’s the baby of the family. Her family inherently protective because at a young age she lost not just one but both parents. So she’s been mostly raised by her older siblings. Sutton is somewhat of a freer spirit then the rest of them. She spent her youth wild and crazy, her college years, just as much, and other then one of the brothers, she has no desire to be tied to the family business. But Sutton hasn’t been the same since her husbands death and there is someone who really wants to see the old Sutton again.

David came in a few books back, an outsider to the family but he fit right in immediately with the Wright’s. Now the CFO of Wright Industries, David sits beside Sutton’s older sister at the helm of the company. He met Sutton the day that her husband passed and even then he thought she was beautiful and he desired her, no matter how wrong it felt. It’s been a year and now she’s ready to dive back out there and live life again. David is determined to be the one to bring the old Sutton back again.

Sutton and David’s chemistry is off the charts. They will get you hot and bothered and you’ll fall head over heels for David and his patience with Sutton. His gentleness, kindness, understanding and sweet gestures will seal the deal for you.

This first book in the duet isn’t without it’s rockiness, Sutton has some terrible demons she’s facing and she’s harboring a lot of guilt being able to live life when her husband no longer can. You will cry for her and feel for her, and maybe even at time gets slightly annoyed with her. She is on a seesaw of emotions and feelings, and just when she thinks she’s got a handle, something so shocking happens, that your jaw will literally hit the floor and you be yelling “SAY WHAT” at whatever method you are reading…. I am still in utter shock. I swore I had it pegged from the beginning what was happening and I was so beyond wrong! The plot twist will leave you begging for more and wondering how this is ever going to conclude, I know I sure am wonder how Ms. Linde is going to pull this one off! But… if anyone can, it’s her…

If you haven’t read this series yet, you must get them now. I don’t care if you read them out of order starting with Sutton, you will fall in love with this family and want to go back anyway! This book threw me in so many ways good and bad, love and loss, lust and love, and in the end, I sat there thinking this is only just the beginning!!!!

"She was sunshine on a cloudy day. And I was in shadow when she was absent."

The author's prediction was correct, I binged, and then I was left hanging from the cliff. Yeah, I knew it in advance, so it was no surprise. You know what they say about curiosity, right? I gobbled it up, flipping pages and getting drawn in, forgetting I wouldn't get my answers 'wright' away. And now my mind is full of so many questions and possibilities.

And while I was left hanging, I wasn't totally shocked when it happened. The author tells the story in multiple POV, so I was inside their heads to a degree. I knew that there were secrets being kept, but unless they thunk them, I wasn't privy to knowing them. It was like a trail of breadcrumbs I was trying to follow, but a damn bird was eating them before I could get to my final destination. But let me tell you, what fun I am having with my guesses.

And that's not the only fun I had reading this first book in the Wright Love duet. I really really enjoyed meeting the Wright family and their significant others. What a great group of characters that I want to spend more time with. And let's not forget the time I've already spent with them. I wish I could tell you about it, but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

The way things were left hanging, I'm not sure what's gonna happen next. But there's nothing you can do to convince me that David's not the #WrightOne. The problem though will be convincing Sutton. I already tried giving her a heads-up, but as usual, the characters never listen to me. But don't worry, that doesn't stop me from providing endless unsolicited advice. I'll be on standby, just in case, when their story resumes. The line forms here...

I have been waiting for Sutton’s story ever since I met her in The Wright Brother; book one of The Wright series. She piqued my curiosity from the start and it was further enhanced when tragedy struck taking her husband from her. My heart wept for her and throughout the series I hoped she recovers from the loss and discover the beauty of love the second time around. When I discovered that her story would be published soon, I eagerly waited for that moment when I would have this beautiful story in my possession, and it was worth the wait.

It has been a year since tragedy struck and changed Sutton’s life. She is a widow and a single mom mourning the loss of her husband. She is aware she needs to start living again, but she is not sure how to proceed. She made a few attempts, but fear had a crippling effect on her decisions. However, with the help of David Sloane, CFO of Wright Construction, she made progress.

David Sloane moved to West Texas to get a fresh start. I knew he had secrets, and I was curious to discover what he was hiding. Despite this, I found him to a likeable character. He made himself available for Sutton to lean on during her time of mourning. During this time, they developed a bond. His patience with her was a testament to his love for her, but his secrets had the power to damage their friendship and budding relationship.

Sutton and David had awesome chemistry. Sutton is a remarkable person. I admired her strength. Moving on from the loss of a loved one is never easy, but she tried to not only for the sake of her son but also for herself.

I knew the story would end in a cliff-hanger and I honestly thought I was prepared, but I was wrong. I never for a moment expected such a massive bombshell. Now I am left wondering what next will happen and I cannot wait to get my hands on the sequel. Thank goodness I do not have long to wait.

Conclusion/Recommendation
The Wright Love is a heart-warming story of loss, healing and second chances. If you are looking for a story filled with lovable characters and in the process tug on your emotions, then pick up this book. I can’t wait to discover what next is in store for David and Sutton

Jesus I think I need to buy stock in tissues because Ms. Linde has destroyed me. I don’t even know if I have any tears left in my body. Crap the tears are starting to form again so I am going to keep this review short and sweet before I can’t see the screen. If you are a K.A. Linde fan then you know how she can destroy your emotions and your heart with just a few words, and she did it again in The Wright Love. I haven’t cried this hard because of a book in a long time, not body shaking can’t stop the tears type of cry.

My heart was obliterated and I just wanted to take Sutton into my arms and take away all of her heartache and pain. David, well I will allow you to discover the amazingness that is David. The patience, the strength, the way he didn’t push Sutton, are just a few of the reasons why I loved him so much.

I am on the edge of my seat waiting for The Wright One, the way The Wright Love ends had me rocking back and forth yelling “WHY, WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO US?” Trust me this is one you will want to read, tears and all because it was amazing.

I am so excited that I got to read this book. Sutton is such a strong woman. I am utterly amazed by her. I love how she slowly took control of her life and her happiness. David was also an amazing character. He was so sweet and he took everything at Sutton's pace. I am in love with him. I think they are perfect and I am loving how their relationship is coming together.

Now I will be honest.. I have only read one of the other stories about the Wright family.. which you do not have to read the others to enjoy this one.. BUT it makes me want to read all the others.(seriously I just bought all the other ones) I am completely obsessed with the Wright family. They are so supportive and loving of each other. I need to know each and every one of their stories.

This book will make you cry.. I mean I cried a lot.. and that ending!! Major cliff hanger but Linde told us that ahead of time and the second book comes out at the end of the month so there isn't a long wait.. yeah not long.. Im not crying for the second book right now.. not at all.
