Two Wrongs Make a Right
One of Amazon's Best Romances of 2022!
Opposites become allies to fool their matchmaking friends in this swoony reimagining of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, Much Ado About Nothing.
Jamie Westenberg and Bea Wilmot have nothing in common except a meet-disaster and the mutual understanding that they couldn't be more wrong for each other. But when the people closest to them play Cupid and trick them into going on a date, Jamie and Bea realize they have something else in common after all—an undeniable need for revenge.
Soon their plan is in place: Fake date obnoxiously and convince the meddlers they’re madly in love. Then, break up spectacularly and dash everyone's hopes, putting an end to the matchmaking madness once and for all.
To convince everyone that they’ve fallen for each other, Jamie and Bea will have to nail the performance of their lives. But as their final act nears and playing lovers becomes easier than not, they begin to wonder: What if Cupid’s arrow wasn’t so off the mark? And what if two wrongs do make a right?

What a fun, fluffy, and light read! I always love a retelling of my favorite Shakespeare play, “Much Ado About Nothing” and this one really knocked it out of the park for me! I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time I was reading.
I loved all of the clear communication, courtesy of our main characters who are autistic and anxiety reps. One thing that I always love to hate about fake dating is that they always fall in love, but they never tell each other soon enough!! But that really wasn’t the case here. Beatrice and James always checked in with one another and shared their feelings quickly. I loved seeing them support one another. If you’re looking for a delightful read that is sweet and swoony, but has some very hot scenes, look no further! I will absolutely be reading more of Chloe Liese’s work.
Tropes: fake dating, meet disaster (not cute), dating for revenge, opposites to lovers, forced proximity, sex positive (no shame in lube), stern brunch daddy vibes

“Two Wrongs Make a Right" by Chloe Liese is a compelling romance novel that earns a solid four-star rating from me. Liese skillfully tackles important themes of autism and anxiety, presenting a thoughtful and authentic portrayal. The way the author delves into these subjects demonstrates a commendable understanding and empathy, providing readers with a genuine and relatable representation.
Another noteworthy aspect of the book is Liese's inclusion and representation of the LGBT community. By featuring diverse and well-rounded characters, Liese creates a story that embraces and celebrates different sexual orientations. This representation is an essential element that adds depth and inclusivity to the narrative.
The novel employs the popular trope of fake dating, adding a delightful layer of tension and excitement to the romantic storyline. This trope is executed with finesse, allowing for both heartwarming moments and unexpected twists. Additionally, readers should be aware that the book includes open-door sex scenes, which contribute to the intimacy and emotional connection between the characters.
As a first-time reader of the romance genre, I found "Two Wrongs Make a Right" to be an enjoyable and accessible entry point. Liese's writing style is engaging and immersive, drawing me into the story from the very beginning. This book combines an exploration of important themes with a satisfying romance, providing a well-rounded and captivating reading experience.
