Too Wrong to Be Right by Melonie Johnson is a contemporary romance. While it is not labeled as in a series, fans of the author will see some familiar characters. 
After her latest jerk of a boyfriend dumps her (and ditches her with his pet hedgehog), florist Kat Kowalski is done chasing after Mr. Wrong. With her two best friends moving on to more serious relationships, she’s ready to stop repeating the same mistakes that are leaving her stuck in the single lane. Armed with a list of qualities for her perfect Mr. Right, Kat swears off dating until she finds him. Then in a meet-disaster involving a corpse and a salty cockatoo, she stumbles across Mick O’Sullivan at his family's funeral home. Their immediate chemistry warns Kat to keep things platonic; after all, following her heart never worked out in the past, and this time she’s determined to listen to her head. But can Kat and Mick be just friends? As she gets to know him better, the lines blur, and Kat starts to wonder if she’s gotten it wrong and Mick is exactly who she’s been looking for.
Too Wrong to Be Right is an engaging romance, and I enjoyed getting to know the characters. I liked Kat, even if she got stuck in her own head too often. Although, as someone who does the same I really should not judge. I thought her attempts to break the cycle and find a better relationship was realistic and something many readers might relate to. I really liked Mick, and adored his family. I thought the cast of characters, and the pets, were well written and in most cases fun to read about. I liked the interplay between Kat and Mick, and thought the family dynamics and self doubt were realistic and relatable obstacles that kept me turning pages and looking to see how everything would come together.
Too Wrong to Be Right is a well written and entertaining romance.
