American-born, Australian-raised Rachel Kennedy was born to be an actress--all the way down to her drama queen ways. But when a bad day leaves her life and her dream in ruins, she's not sure what to do next. Her silver spoon-upbringing never prepared her for that.
With a bank account at nothing and an inability to pull off a convincing accent for casting directors, Rachel's about to give up on everything. Not on her best friend's watch. Lily is there to help her every step of the way--if the definition of help involves convincing her to take drastic measures, each one blowing up more than the one that came before.
Once Lily shoves Rachel into the let's-get-drunk-and-screw-a-stranger phase, she winds up tangled in the arms of Christian Whitmore, a cop with a sinful smile, sexy stubble, and impeccable timing. He's there to pick her up when she falls and to take her out for fish and chips at her favourite place.
But then again, so is his identical twin brother, Kevin. Double. Trouble.
Stuck at a major crossroads in her life, can Rachel ever find happiness again, or is she just looking in all the wrong places?
Honestly, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about All the Wrong Places. Reading about the struggles of the main character Rachel really made me feel for her. Even from the first few pages of the novel, the author easily and skillfully creates a world in which it's impossible for Rachel to succeed. I felt so bad watching her continuously fail at everything. With the encouragement of her closest friend, Rachel falls into a period of no inhibitions and meet this charming Christian. In meeting Christian, Rachel seems to get everything together and begins to enjoy herself, but Perrin provides the twist of a lifetime with the introduction of Christian’s twin brother Kevin. I have never, I repeat never, have read a book where the main character enters a conflict because there’s a romantic interest through the introduction of twins. I won’t say how the ending turned out but I will say that this definitely made for an interesting and new view of romance and I really enjoyed it. Rachel is a mess but she’s so lovable and it’s hard not to feel for her as character. One of the most important things that I enjoyed about this novel was the setting. It’s been a while since I’ve read a story with main characters that live in Australia and I learned so much by throwing myself into the new vocabulary that was provided by the author. Overall, I thought that this was a wonderful romance with interesting twists and turns. While I can see how some people may find Rachel annoying, I really connected with her and spent a great deal of time rooting for her. If you are interested in checking out a new author and a sexy and engaging romance then definitely check out this book.
English may be Randi’s first language, but she’s the most fluent in sarcasm, and it shows in her writing. She is known for creating snarky, realistic characters—badass heroines who can hold their own and flawed, yet lovable heroes. Like Randi, her characters run on caffeine and swear words.
Her characters are often built around dichotomy, much like Randi herself. Although she is the least romantic person in the world, she writes romance. She also refuses to pick a lane on the romance highway, sometimes writing contemporary, other times paranormal, but always smokin’ hot.
She is the author of the Earthbound Angels paranormal romance series, several contemporary romance novellas including Anticipating Temptation and Mi Amor, and a gay romance novella entitled Wreck You. She has also had several short stories published in anthologies. Her next full-length novel, a romantic comedy entitled All the Wrong Places, will be out in Summer 2019.
