RATING 4.5 STARS

Wrong Turn, Right Direction is book four in The Bourbon Street Boys series by Elle Casey.

Do you believe in fate? That things always happen for a reason? Tamika Cleary didn’t know that turning the wrong way down a one way street and running smack dab into a very good looking and very angry man would change her life. Thibault Delacroix was right where he needed to be at the right time. Two people, crossing paths at the exact time they needed to. Fate had to be at work here.

We met Thibault in the previous books. He has watched his partners at Bourbon Street Boys find the loves of their lives, one by one. He has pretty much accepted that it’s not going to happen for him. Why he went to THAT coffee shop that day, somewhere that is out of his way, he’ll never know. Why he didn’t look both ways like he ALWAYS does before stepping off that curb, he’ll never know. That’s when the crazy lady ran into him, injuring his leg. But it didn’t take him long to realize that something else was going on here. She needed help, and he couldn’t stop himself from stepping right in and doing what was needed.

Tamika or “Mika” admits she made some bad choices these past five years that have gotten her into this predicament. She’s trying to do the right thing now, though. She’s watched her evil boss, Pavel, do horrible things time and time again. So she became an informant. She’s been keeping the books for Pavel and has been painstakingly storing the files in “the cloud” for safe keeping until it’s time turn them over. But the stress of the situation is making her sick. She eats antacids like candy. She can’t take it anymore and is going to tell the police that she needs time to get herself straightened out before she goes any further. That’s where she was going on that day when she made that wrong turn, and ran into the man who would change her life.

“He’s complicated, stubborn, kind, firm, and sexy…all these things rolled into one solid man.”

Thus starts the crazy wild ride in store for Thibault and Mika. Mika finds it hard to trust Thibault. She’s never been able to trust anyone before. And Thibault, with his superman complex, is so pushy. She will not be told what to do. She’s managed to get this far on her own. She can’t help but think, though, that it would be so nice to finally have someone at her side to count on, to not be alone for the first time in a long time. To allow herself to actually trust this man.

I seriously fell in love with Thibault. He was so patient with Mika. He seemed to know just how to help her, when to push and when to back off. Little by little, he proved to her that he would do whatever he could to protect her, to keep her safe. That she was the boss, that he wouldn’t make her do anything she didn’t want to do.

This whole series is amazing and I have so enjoyed getting to know these characters and watching them fall in love. This one in particular just grabbed me right from the start. These two go through so much and we are kept on the edge of our seats until the very end with some very shocking surprises. The members of The Bourbon Street Boys and the partners they have fallen in love with prove again that family has nothing to do with blood, but everything to do with love. These people love each other and have each other’s backs no matter what. Together they have an iron clad bond that is as strong as any family could be. Thanks again to Elle Casey for bringing us these characters that make us swoon, make us smile, and steal our hearts.

I have to say that the first book in this series is one of my all time favorite books. I love it! May and Ozzie are perfection! The other two books in this series are decent, not as great but still good in their own right. This book however left me wishing for more. It wasn't bad but I expected so much more for Thibault. He was my favorite character, aside from May and Ozzie, and I wanted him to get a really epic love. This wasn't epic.
