What a great addition to this series.
I really liked the character of Owen. He is a hard worker, amazing son and an all around good guy. He is doing everything he can to keep his family business running while caring for his father.
Rose is a woman who had a plan and then comes home from work one day and everything changes. Now she just wants her stuff back. I have to say, I LOVED Owen and Rose's first meeting. When I read it, It felt like I was in the room with them. Rose was in a tough spot, she was starting to really like Owen who happened to also be a competitor.
There is one scene that really stuck out to me. Rose took Owen to an important party. There her ex goads Owen into an argument. Rose overhears the conversation and gets angry. While I can understand why she is angry, the part that I couldn't get was how she couldn't see all Owen was doing was defending her. It might not have been the right place or time, but to have someone stand up for another is a powerful thing.
Rose returns to the apartment she once shared with her ex-fiance to pick up the furniture her Grandmother left her. What she finds is a sexy stranger asleep in her bed.
Owen restores furniture and crafts custom furniture as well. He was there to buy her pieces from her ex. Rose works for a company that plans on crushes small businesses like his.
Owen is attracted to Rose but can't stay away from her, even with knowing that she works for the competition.
Owen and Rose are pretty great together. Their chemistry was great.
I'm looking forward to reading more books from this author and the other books in this series
Thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for this ARC.

Such a sweet story and lesson on finding what you really need/want in life. It was a tiny bit predictable but never less a great read. It feels like there is at least one more in this series which I can’t wait for’❤️
What a unique concept for a story. Rose works for CUBE, a large corporate maker of so-so furniture that's all the trend. Owen's little custom shop is on their kill list of companies to put out of business. The meet-cute and source of the book's title is cute. Rose goes to her ex's to get her furniture including her grandmother's bed her mother shipped to the city for her to find Owen asleep in it, surprises about her ex and his extra-relationship sex life, and that the ex has sold her furniture to Owen!
A lot of the plot points you'd expect don't happen predictably. Rose's ex doesn't get her fired, she contInues to do well and gets recognized at the company his family owns. I liked that. It was refreshing that the story took a little different route to the expected HEA.
I really liked Rose and Owen and enjoyed their story.
Rose recently ended her engagement after finding her fiancé cheating on her in their own bed. Unfortunately, her former fiancé also happens to be her boss at a large box furniture chain.
Owen is a master furniture craftsman who runs a family business that has been passed down through the generations. He meets Rose in an unexpected way, but their chemistry is off the charts. Both have concerns about having a relationship, since her employer is actively trying to put smaller family businesses out of business.
Can Rose and Owen find their HEA despite being business competitors?
When Rose found her fiancé cheating on her in her Grandmother’s bed no less all she wanted to do was leave but now that she has had a little time to think about it, she wants her furniture back. The only problem is that when she does a little breaking and entering into her old apartment, she finds the man her ex sold the furniture to testing it out.
Owen owns a custom made furniture company that is struggling against the big companies. When he has the opportunity to purchase some older furniture and refinish it for a profit it seems like the perfect plan until he meets Rose.
There is no denying the chemistry between them but with her working in promotions for the company that is trying to put Owen out of business there are bound to be some obstacles until they both realize the only thing that truly matters is each other.
What I liked:
The writing style
The characters
Part of a series: Accidental Love
Standalone
HEA
Epilogue
I look forward to reading the other books in this series.
A great read - opposites attract!
I liked how the book was told from the points of view of both of the main characters.
I have read the previous books in the series, so liked the links back to those through Rose's friends.
I received this book from netgalley for an honest review. This book was just ok for me. Honestly I struggled in parts and it took me quite awhile to finish as it didn’t keep me engaged.
Wrong Bed, Right Man by Rebecca Brooks a five-star read that you will want to curl up with. This has been a great story and who knew a bed could cause so much trouble. This is the third part of the Accidental Love series but it can be read as stand-alone as the other couples pop up but not to the point that you felt lost, I have read the previous two but don’t feel it would have been massive if I hadn’t, honestly if I hadn’t read them I would go back and read them as I enjoyed this one so much. It made me want to go and buy all new furniture and a really solid wooden bed. The only thing that annoyed me was how Rose behaved about her ex, but on the flip side I could get how she behaved about him and her job, as sometimes that’s all that stands between you and your history,
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read a preview copy.
It is the first book by this author that I have read and I think I must be getting a little old as the graphic sex content was a bit too much for me!
I was attracted to the storyline and I felt that it would be an entertaining read - along the lines of Rachel Gibson books, but I found Rose a bit whiny tbh. I felt sorry for Owen but felt the part of the story around the Gala argument was a bit ridiculous.
I enjoyed the happy ending and would read other books in the series.
This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.
I think that I am just getting too old for these quick hookup books and interest in bondage.. When Owen and Rose meet, she knew that he would be considered "the enemy" when she worked for a furniture megastore and he was a wood worker that built quality pieces. He was one of the people that she was working to put out of business!
Not sure what she was thinking when she invited Owen to the Gala, that was just a disaster waiting to happen and it did.
All that said, after they started seeing each other, you could tell they were made for each other and I did like that they were able to work through all their differences and reconcile in the end and get their HEA.
Opposites attract is always fun in a romance novel. When it comes to Rose and Owen, they may start out seeming to be complete opposites, but as the story progresses, it becomes clear that they actually have far more in common than it first appears.
Rose has recently broken up with her fiance, who she walked in on the throws of passion with another woman. She still works for his father's company and sees him daily. When she goes to collect her furniture from their flat, she finds another man asleep in her bed. Although he's really not at all the type of man that she normally goes for, she can't help but be attracted to him.
Rose's job is in direct competition with Owen's. I enjoyed reading about how they tried to find a way through their differences without actually having to give up their jobs. I don't really enjoy books where someone has to change. Although the characters do make changes, it's more to do with the way that they think and both Rose and Owen realise that they can't influence the way that someone else behaves and the way that they feel and think is down to them.
Overall this was a good read and satisfying romance.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Thanks to NetGalley and to Entangled Publishing LLC for sending me an e-galley of this book in exchange for an honest review!
Owen just about hit the jackpot when he found a craigslist ad selling beautiful wood furniture for cheap, it means a big profit after cleaning up and selling the furniture at his woodworking shop. He's given the key to the apartment and is told to take what he wants, but gets sidetracked by the craftsmanship on the bed then ends up falling asleep after trying it out.
Rose is sneaking back to the once shared apartment a couple weeks after she broke off her engagement. A woman can put up with a lot, but when she found her fiance Jason in bed with another woman it was over. She could live with a lot of the furniture she contributed to the apartment, but she had to get her grandmother's antique bed, even if she had no idea how she was going to fit it into her new smaller apartment.
I found the set up of the story more enjoyable than most of the novella's I've read. After Rose finds Owen in her bed and startles him awake, he breaks the bed. We learn more about Owen, that he owns a small woodworking store with his sick father and Rose's ex fiance is the head of an IKEA inspired furniture company called CUBE. Rose also just so happens to be on the advertising department and she's working on the ads meant to crush their small business competition.
The flirtation and the banter that begins is a little lackluster, but I felt that it was possibly due to the fact that Rose was more of a good girl and we later learn that Owen hasn't had too many dates after taking the lead at his family business.
As far as chemistry goes I could feel it, even if the interaction at times felt a little stunted, when they finally started to get closer you could tell these two characters really cared about each other.
That said the final conflict of the book was a bit meh. I still enjoyed reading it and I felt that the issues that they had were easily solved, it didn't feel like one character had to bend over backwards to make the other happy. I've found that some romance novel resolutions end up feeling a bit convoluted, but this fit the story and the characters perfectly.
It's a quick and steamy read, not overly graphic. A nice middle ground.
Thanks NetGalley and Entangled Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Wrong Bed, Right Man was a sexy read. Rose is ready to move on from her cheating ex, so stress retrieving her furniture. Problem is, he's in the bed. No wait, that's not him! That's a very sexy stranger who... just broke my bed!
Owen is fighting tooth and NAIL (lol) to keep his furniture business afloat. Big business is running him into the ground. This new find on Craigslist will help him add to his offerings, too bad this sexy woman says it all belongs to her.
Owen and Rose's chance encounter leads to hot and heavy chemistry. While they take advantage of that, in the background is the dilemma of Rose working for the enemy company dead set on putting Owen out of business.
The drama of Rose's job pulls her in two, when she's really just over it all. But how do you just walk away from what's paying your bills. But how do you stay where your boss is ready to ruin Owen's livelihood.
I enjoyed, Wrong Bed, Right Man. I like a good competition book. Although some at Cube, don't see Owen's furniture business as competition. He showed them and Rose what he had to offer is worth so much.
This was my first book by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last. I didn’t realize that it’s the third in a series, but that didn’t hinder my ability to know the characters or what was going on with them.
Rose is trying to put her life back together in a new and improved way, but the guy currently napping in HER bed (albeit in her ex’s space) is determined to help her do more than just patch it back together. Oh, no. Owen is going to work to make Rose HIS, especially once he realizes just how right she feels in his arms.
Rose and Owen hit a few bumps along the way, but one big bump almost ends them. So Owen’s a tad brash and Rose is a lot embarrassed, but they manage to overcome their hurts and find their HEA. And now I’m interested to see what else this author has to offer.
Another winner! I loved Rose and Owen's story. It began with Owen sleeping in Rose's bed, then grew from there. I loved the way they interacted and how even with their flaws, that they found a way to be together. Also, I loved the nod to the past and quality hand made furniture.
If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. While this is part of a series, this is a stand alone book, however, it's so good that you really owe to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.
This is the third book in this series, Rose, and yes you kind of do have to read previous books to know who is who because even though they have a small part in this book they all connect and you will get the dynamics..I liked all the previous couples in this series, Rose not so much, Owen yep I liked him, again Rose not so much..She wined too much for me, she should have been glad to get rid of her scum bag fiance and his cheating self. She did way better with Owen, and yes Owen got a little to alpha at that party and should not spread her business to everyone yet, Jason did push him and Owen was defending herself and yet Rose, withered..get some spine, finally she did at the end..Amanda lets go!
