I wanted to love One Wrong Move by Dani Pettrey so much, but this story just didn’t work for me. The piece I struggled with the most is the setting up of three separate romantic pairs of characters and all their storylines. The perspectives shift throughout this book so much I had a difficult time keeping up. I do appreciate when an author begins a series and lays ground work that will play into books 2 and 3, but ground work for other books should be less than all the nuances and events and character building for the main storyline. In this book, which is 400 pages long, the main story is supposed to be Christian and Andi, but we also get Harper and Deckard, and Greyson and Riley. Then there are three sets of bad guys to keep track of as well. It’s a lot. I had to stop reading many times to try to remember who was who. If you’re a fan of intricately detailed Romantic Suspense novels, then this book is 100% for you. It will keep you on your toes the whole time. But I just wanted an escape story. I will say, if I had one romantic couple to pay attention to I know I would have been able to focus better on this story. I believe I would have been better able to keep track of the bad guys and who was working what angle if I only had to focus on one love story. I did really like Deckard and Harper’s characters. I look forward to seeing how things work out for them in a future novel. Greyson seems a bit mysterious, and he clearly has a thing for Riley, but he is working hard to hide his true feelings. That makes me want to see how things turn out for them as well. Overall, there are some things I really enjoyed and I am curious to find out how things will work out for characters in future installments, but I was just too overwhelmed by the three romantic set-ups and the three sets of bad guys.

As I said above, One Wrong Move is an intricate story filled with multiple perspective shifts, and twists and turns that will keep the reader on her toes. If you love deeply detailed Romantic Suspense novels, this book is definitely the story you need to read ASAP.
