It’s all fun and games until fantasy gets real . . .
At twenty-seven, Dinah Gallagher thought she’d have it all figured out. Instead, she’s having mind-blowing online sex with a man she knows nothing about and fighting for her rightful place in the family business. Part of that battle means expanding their century-old restaurant by getting the stubborn urban farmer next door to sell them his lot.
But Carter Trask is tired of being pushed around—especially by rich families like the Gallaghers. All he has left is the little farm he’s scratched out of his grandmother’s yard. At least he can blow off steam with the anonymous woman he’s been emailing for the past eight months, who makes his every sexual fantasy come alive—even if it’s only online.
When Dinah suddenly realizes that Carter’s gardens look just like some of her mystery man’s photos, she can’t resist trying to turn her dreams into reality. Against his better judgment, Carter joins in the game. But in real life, passion has a way of becoming very complicated, very quickly. And sometimes the wrong choice can turn out to be oh so right . . .
Dinah Gallagher has had one thing on her mind her entire life: be the Director of Operations at Gallagher’s Tap Room and all the other businesses that the Gallagher’s have their hands in. Right now she’s working for her Uncle who is the DoO and he’s a complete bastard. He wants to buys the house/farm nearby and turn it into a parking lot/farmer’s market but the owner refuses to sell. Dinah believes that if she can get the owner to sell her grandmother, the matriarch of the Gallagher family, would make her DoO. She heads over but Carter Trask is totally stubborn and refuses.
Dinah heads home looking forward to some online sex with the man she’s been having it with for the past 8 months. They fool around as their alter egos D & C but something sticks in Dinah’s mind and she looks at his blog again – the way they hooked up in the first place. She takes a look and realizes that the pictures that C has online of his farm look exactly like Carter Trask’s farm! She heads to Carter’s and confronts him. They are shocked but soon decide that they can have sex for real as D & C and leave Carter and Dinah separate. That doesn’t exactly work and soon feelings are involved which muddles everything. Can these two supposed enemies be able to work out a relationship when there’s so much against them from the start?
This book had a good premise. Those who are supposed enemies but trying to make a relationship work. Something always gets in the way and it did in this instance too.
Dinah and Carter dislike each other intensely but D & C are fine in the bedroom. They tried so hard to have one or the other but of course no one can live their live their life like that. Eventually the two parts of their lives had to come together and when they did they had to work out how what they were going to do about it. I liked the compromise that they made and how they worked with each other to find a common ground. I guess what I really didn’t like was Dinah. They were good together but she made me absolutely nuts. That woman needed a club to the head to knock some sense into her. She lost her cousin/best friend because of her stubbornness and she still pushed forward to get what she wanted. I couldn’t really reconcile her work self with her off-work self. They were such polar opposites that it almost didn’t seem like the same person. The ending of the book when we got the solution to everything wrapped up with a bow was completely rushed imho. It was a decision made and then the end. It definitely felt like there was something missing.
Overall I enjoyed the book but it certainly wasn’t fabulous for me.
Rating: 3 out of 5

So Wrong It Must Be Right is a well-rounded story with engaging characters, an interesting plot, and sex hot enough to cause a volcanic eruption.
Nicole Helm definitely knows how to keep a reader entertained and I’ll be looking forward to more of her amazing books.
Sexy book, defiantly a hot read. Characters were good. Storyline was easy to follow.
This is one of those stories that I like to call "erotica with a plot". Meaning there is a lot of sex taking place throughout the novel, however while the sex is a (big) part of the plot, there are other stories happening at the same time which overshadow the sexy scenes.
I very much enjoyed the chemistry between Dinah and Carter, and watching them find a balance between their "online personas" and their "real lives". I found it interesting that they could have such an open dislike for each other as Dinah and Carter, but found such an intense passion as "D & C". The Gallagher Tap House angle was also interesting and added another layer to this story.
Unfortunately, what kept me from ultimately rating this story at a higher level is the ending. It felt very rushed to me, and I wish there had been more closure between Dinah and her family. As it was, things were left very open and unfinished and that took away from my overall enjoyment of the story.
Overall, I am sure this story may still appeal to those who enjoy erotica with a plot novels.

I enjoyed reading So Wrong It Must Be Right I found the character interaction and dynamics well written and the storyline compelling. I look forward to reading more
What happens when your career is your family and your life? Dinah finds out the hard way, that it usually means giving up on happiness. Carter is trying to show her that there is more to life. But she believes that she can find a compromise for any problem that comes their way. Got to say, she is the queen of compromise. I liked the idea of small farmers in the middle of a city. And how Carter stood his ground and didn't give in.
I am a fan of the author and while this book is not a favorite I did enjoy reading it. It was very HOT!! and the author made that part of the plotline and I really loved that.
In this stpry C and D have been hot emailing each other for a while. But they don't know who the other is, until one day Dinah ends up visiting this farmer, Carter who she wants to buy his land. He says No!! and later when she goes home she visits his webs iste and realises its C!!!
And thats how it starts. She visits him after and tells him who she is and they have a very hot altercation. He still hates who she is and that she is after his land and after a very bad day calls her for another altercation. The two were very hot and sexy together.
The story also had its serious note. Dinah has some real issues that she needs to face in relation to what is happening with her family and in trying to get Carter to sell his land. I loved her cousin Kayla and hated her grandmother. And don't get me started on her uncle....but all in all I really enjoy this very HOT story.
