Right Girl, Wrong Side is a humourous contemporary retelling of The Hatfields vs The McCoys battle of two feuding families and one couple in love. I really enjoyed it.

I love a good family drama in my romance novels and this one does not disappoint. On the surface, these two families appear to have nothing in common. But when we learn of the history of the interfamily dispute, it is revealed that they may have more in common than what first meets the eye.

Evita Machado is a successful flower shop owner who travels with her family to Nantucket for a week of peace and tranquillity. In addition to her business she hopes to build a community garden. She’s recently broken up with her long-term boyfriend and hasn’t given much thought to dating again. Evita’s Mom had been the successful bidder in a silent auction of a week’s stay in a home and the family was looking forward to making great memories. What they didn’t expect is that the Hatfields had also won the same auction and were excited about their week away.

Evita and Hatfield’s son Ryan had mutual crushes on one another in high school. They couldn’t act on their feelings because their mothers had a history of their own. Ryan is a successful teacher with a passion for make a difference with high risk children. Could this be fate stepping in to allow this couple a second chance at love?

The story makes for a light-hearted, highly entertaining read. The characters are likeable and interesting. I enjoyed the romance that builds between Evita and Ryan as they try and escape their mother’s rivalry. The family game night was particularly enjoyable and reminiscent of my own extended family.

I highly recommend Right Girl, Wrong Side to those that enjoy romance.
